Transition from Summer to Fall

PUT PHYTOBIODERMIE ON YOUR “ENERGETIC” FALL CALENDAR

Swiss-based Phytobiodermie combines the Five Chinese Elements and the best of nature to create a complete skincare line for the Fall.

The arrival of Autumn is a transition in nature from the hot days of summer to crisp, fall days; blue skies, fallen leaves and a return to home. But to Phytobiodermie, a skincare line based on the energetic principles of traditional Chinese concepts, Autumn harkens the arrival of the Metal season (or “Energetic Autumn”). The Energetic Autumn season occurs from August 8 until October 19. During that season, there are specific energies influencing all of nature, man included.

According to the Five Element Theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Metal, one of the five Elements, is associated, in particular, with a season (Autumn), certain colors (Blue and white), two organs (the lungs and large intestine), certain skin conditions (such as dull, lifeless skin lacking minerals), a taste, an emotion and more. Based on this philosophy, Phytobiodermie has created a full “Metal” line of skin care products, for face, scalp and body. Metal products are designed to be in accord with the energy of the Autumn season and should be used during that season but also at any other times for Metal-related conditions.

For face the Metal conditions are: dull, lifeless skin lacking minerals; for the body the Metal condition includes poor venous and lymphatic circulation.

During the summer heat, we have a tendency to lose the trace minerals integral to maintaining healthy skin. Fall is the season when replenishing these minerals is vital, in preparation for the hydrating products that will be required during the dry winter.

Phytobiodermie’s line of Metal skincare products includes:

Metal Toner – a mild non-alcoholic toner ideal for the Autumn season and especially beneficial for dull skin with surface dehydration due to lack of minerals.

Metal Phyt’Ether – A potent blend of colored and natural essential oils in a grapeseed oil base, the Metal Phyt’Ether helps balance the venous and lymphatic systems. For use on dry and skin lacking minerals, the Phyt’Ether is best used prior to the application of the color clay mask for maximum effect. Professional use only.

White Clay Mask – A revitalizing and re-mineralizing white clay mask with essential oils, it promotes oxygenation of congested skin.

Phytobiodermie also includes energetic drainage in its treatment protocols, supported by light therapy to enhance energetic balance.
