Gentle Skin Ritual · Kiri Māhaki
Ngā mihi ki a Io · With gratitude to Io, source of all life.
For skin that feels dry, sensitive or easily upset: a simple three-step ritual from our whānau on the East Coast of Aotearoa New Zealand. Three taonga (treasures), one gentle order. Cool. Refresh. Nourish.
Step 1 — Cool with Kānuka Hydrosol
A fine, cool mist of steam-distilled Kānuka, the gentle sister of Mānuka. Mist over the kiri (skin) whenever it feels hot, tight or uncomfortable.
Step 2 — Refresh with Mānuka Hydrosol
Mist morning and night to refresh and tone the skin, with the clean scent of wild East Coast Mānuka.
Step 3 — Nourish with Wild Mānuka Oil 10+
One or two drops at night, pressed gently into calm skin, to soften and nourish dry areas. Avoid broken or irritated skin.
