Get to your quiet place and experience the magic of Living Seasonally with Bee Inspired: Your Winter Skincare Routine.
Embracing the Season of Reflection
As the earth settles into a peaceful hush, we are reminded of the introspection that envelops us. Embracing this season of contemplation entails pausing to ponder the reflections in our lives. Whether it’s the comfort of a cozy home, the flicker of candlelight, or the laughter shared with cherished ones, there is much to appreciate. By immersing ourselves in the reflections already present, we can adjust our perspective and draw further tranquility into our lives. Take a moment to relish the crispness of winter, the whispers of snowfall, and the serenity of the season, allowing these echoes of nature's beauty to fill you with contentment and renewal.
Creating a Restful Home
Creating a restful home goes beyond physical comfort; it's about nurturing an environment that embraces tranquility and comfort. Infuse your living space with the serenity of the season by incorporating cozy elements, such as soft blankets, warm lighting, and soothing scents like vanilla and pine. These additions not only foster a cozy and welcoming ambiance but also envelop you in the essence of winter. Simplifying and arranging your space can bring peace and serenity, aiding you in finding solace and inspiration. Let your home become a haven of warmth and peace, mirroring the tranquility of the winter season.
Living in Harmony with Nature
Living in harmony with nature is a cornerstone of the Winter Respite Living Seasonally Program. By tuning into the natural world and honoring the cycles of the earth, we can cultivate a sense of balance and harmony in our lives. Spend time outdoors, whether it’s taking a walk in the woods, practicing yoga in a park, or simply sitting in a garden or on a balcony with plants. These moments of connection with nature allow us to tap into its wisdom and guidance, aligning ourselves with the natural flow of life. Embrace the earth’s rhythms and let them guide you towards a life of repose and reflection.
Giving Back and Making a Positive Impact
Providing repose to yourself and others is a powerful way to attract more respite into our lives. By giving back, whether through volunteering, donating to charity, or simply being there for a friend in need, we cultivate a sense of purpose and fulfillment. The universe rewards our generosity and kindness, creating a ripple effect of good vibes that contribute to a more harmonious and prosperous world. As you embrace the season of repose, remember to spread joy and light to those around you, making a positive impact that extends far beyond your own life.

Step 1
Set an intention
Treat yourself to a personal Winter Respite by scheduling an appointment with yourself. Winter skincare cannot be achieved with stressing environmental factors. Be sure to keep dry winter air at a minimum to lessen the impact on your skin. Brew some soothing Good Night Tea, light a Bee Inspired candle like Forest Luxe Candle for a luxurious touch. Set the mood and relax with intention.
Step 2
Exfoliate Your body
Increase circulation and release your outer layers by removing dead skin cells with an enlivening full-body exfoliation with Sea+Tea Body Scrub. Made with refined organic cane sugar and ultra-fine pumice, moisturizing organic sunflower oil, antioxidant-rich calendula, kelp, and tea extracts to remove dead skin cells and cleanse your skin barrier. This scrub can also be used as a gentle cleanser and hydrating cleanser on the face as well. Be sure to use caution when applying to delicate skin to protect your skin barrier.
Directions: In the shower, apply to your skin in gentle circular motions. Allow to sit on the skin for several minutes to soak up the maximum benefits of the ingredients. Rinse off with warm water and towel dry. Intended for use neck-down, particularly on rough skin on your elbows, arms, and legs.
Step 3
Purify Your Face & Body
Experience the rejuvenating power of our "Sea Forward" mask. This mask helps promote skin cell turnover, leaving your skin feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. Nourish your skin and soothe your soul with Sea+Tea Mask, crafted with a luxurious fusion of green tea, seaweed, and clay. Suitable for all skin types.
Directions: Combine 2 parts mask powder to 1 part liquid mixer* and blend well. Paint the freshly-blended mask onto your skin, allowing it to work its magic for 10-15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, pat dry, and apply your favorite moisturizer or serum.
*Warm green tea, purified water, plain Greek yogurt, and raw honey are all suitable liquid mixers for this mask.
Step 4
Soak
Dim the lights. Turn on some relaxing tunes. Submerge yourself in a warm bath fortified with Sea+Tea Bath Soak. Blended together in our Sea+Tea Bath Soak are nourishing salts, chamomile flowers, and an herbaceous essential oil blend that leaves the skin softened and fortified.
Directions: Run warm water in the tub and melt 2-6 tablespoons (based on tub size) of soak into bathwater. Sit back, relax, and soak in and relax. For best results, rinse in the shower with cool water.
Step 5
Hydrate
Pamper your skin with Sea+Tea Body Cream - a gentle, plant-based moisturizer free of synthetic ingredients. Sea+Tea Body Cream contains jojoba oil, which works wonders on dry winter skin. Perfect for our clean, beauty, environmentally-conscious customers. This is a crucial step in winter skincare. Dehydrated skin and dry skin is difficult to deal with, so apply this to the skin's surface to keep your skin hydrated and your skin smooth.
Directions: Massage onto slightly-damp, freshly-cleansed skin to lock in hydration and softness all day long. Reapply as needed throughout the day. Intended for use neck-down, especially on ultra-dry parts of your body like knees, elbows, and hands that need the extra dose of moisture.
