I’m gonna get real with you: my skin has always been high-maintenance. Eczema as a kid, acne as an adult, ultra-sensitive for as long as I can remember. I tried everything—prescriptions, potions, serums, you name it. Nothing lasted. I just kept yo-yoing from clear skin to bad skin, again and again.
Until I cleaned up my diet to nothing but all-natural foods and started healing from the inside out. And that was the lightbulb moment for me: Mother Nature knows best.
Around that same time, a dear friend gave me his homemade green salve for a burn on my arm. The rate at which it healed was insane. So I decided to try it all over my body. I used it everywhere—face, sunburns, bruises, rashes. Not to mention, we watched as this Mother Earth skincare nourished and healed so many friends and family we love.
It was too good not to share. So we decided to team up and after a whole lot of trial and error we created Motherline: plant-powered skincare that actually speaks to sensitive, reactive, sun-soaked skin.
And speaking of sun-soaked, summer’s here, which means pool days, hikes, cookouts, and plenty of UV and chlorine drama. Motherline spray and balm are packed with skin-saving plants like comfrey, rosemary, and lavender that calm, hydrate, heal, and give you that high summer glow.
It’s the summer lovin’ your skin deserves. It’s clean, natural, and made for glow-getters like you. Try it. Your skin will thank you.
Pro Skin Tips: Your Five Everyday Skin Essentials
Because we want you to maintain your high glow
-
Daily positive affirmations. “Hello, beautiful.” Believe it or not, your skin and body respond to how you think and talk to yourself.
-
Drink at least 16 oz. of water with the juice of half a lemon on an empty stomach. Then wait 30 minutes to eat. This helps cleanse your liver and purify your skin—your body’s largest organ. Sure, slay all day—but hydrate all day while you’re at it.
-
Eat your vitamins. Your parents were right: load up on colorful fruits and veggies. Their nutrients give your skin a natural glow, protect it from environmental damage, strengthen the skin barrier, and fight off acne and other skin conditions.
-
Move it. Walking, running, High Fitting, dancing—whatever. Movement is your body’s natural purification system. It boosts blood flow and circulation, which helps with cellular turnover, and that means fresh, glowing skin.
-
Sleep. Consistent, quality rest is essential for your skin to detox and recover. Plus, it feels amazing and you get to dream. Women need an average of 7 to 9 hours per night.
The best, truest skincare should care as much about what we put in our bodies as what we put on our bodies.
