The 5 Kyushi Pillars of Skin Health
What We Use
Suffering from dull dry skin? Try this combination
First lets slough away that dull top layer of skin with
Juice Beauty Fruit enzyme mask a word of warning it does cause the skin to tingle and flush, don’t be alarmed its working its magic, but of course it should not be painful or uncomfortable, they do recommend a patch test.
Next lets get some intensive hydration back in with Oilixia hydration mask
Finally lets restore, regenerate and get the skin looking and feeling radiant with Kyushi Chamomile & Helichrysum & Cleansing Oil Hydration boost
Trust me this combination is a dream - something I do weekly throughout winter.
Mind Nourishment
Those of you that journey with me on the madness that is instagram will have seen that I binged read this book ‘A Year of Mystical Thinking’ I loved every minute of it, its funny, informative and a wonderful journey of exploration as writer Emma explores a year of spiritual, mystical and lots of things deemed ‘woo woo’.
Looking for some escapism into sunshine lose yourself in the characters of ‘Malibu Rising’ by Taylor Jenkins Reid (Daisy Jones & the Six is also great)
Movement & Energy Flow
This time of year always feels like a time to go inwards, a nurturing & slower time. As the leaves are still falling we start to think about the festivities and perhaps start thinking and making plans for the new year.
With the dark mornings and nights feeling motivated can be a struggle, snuggling down in a warm bed or comfy sofa seems like the only plausible option right. We are lucky to live by the sea so although walking along a beach to the point where your face is so cold you fear it may fall off theres something so nourishing for the soul and replenishing for the energy levels. So although going for a walk if your used to doing a HITT workout may seem a little sedate but rather than putting pressure on yourself to do something you simply cannot drag yourself up or out to do, throw on your coat and go for a walk outside, look at the trees, the nature, notice the mushrooms growing out of tree stumps, how the leaves crunch under foot, the birds nesting in the hedges and breathe the fresh air all the way down to the bottom of the lung, exercise the diaphragm, soften the belly and feel your nervous system calm and your mind become still.

Check out the amazing charity Toiletries Amnesty
We are a social, ethical and environmental organisation working across the UK and abroad to relieve hygiene poverty and stop products from going to waste. We are the first organisation in the UK to tackle hygiene poverty and the only directory that allows people to see exactly where their donations are making an impact in their community.
It all started in an airing cupboard back in September 2014. We realised that too many people were living with too many spare, unwanted or unused toiletry products, and that actually these items could be really helpful to others. The original premise was to collect spare toiletries for one homeless shelter in Cambridge, the donations kept coming… we now support over 290 organisations.
Physical Nourishment
Guys this is big news, so while we lived in america I was obsessed with this simple no dodgy ingredients chocolate company, now when I say obsessed I don’t think we ever had less than 6 bars in the fridge at once, when we moved back I even emailed them to consider shipping to the UK as its so hard to find healthier but actually tasty chocolate here. So now you understand my level of commitment. The company is called Hu GET BACK TO HUMAN
We’re Hu as in HUman. That means we put the health, welfare, and happiness of humans above all else in the food we make. Sourcing only simple, clean, and responsible ingredients so that all people can get back to feeling human. We go beyond what’s easy and expected to ensure that our products and our practices are ethical and put both humanity and the human body first. ORGANIC, FAIRTRADE, CERTIFIED VEGAN, NO GLUTEN, NO EMULSIFIERS, ORGANIC, UNREFINED COCONUT SUGAR

How We Show Up in the World
Here at Kyushi Ive always wanted to create as little impact on the planet as I can, theres some things I’m really happy with and things I would love to improve on, I believe if we all try and do a little bit better than we were the day before then that will create a ripple effect into change. Here’s a few things you can do to help me make a difference
When you have 5 empties send them back to me, I will reuse or ensure they are recycled correctly with teracycle. In return you will receive a free 10ml of your choice yay! just email me at alice@kyushi.co.uk to organise.
When you receive your order, you can turn the box inside out and use it to send your own parcels or as a gift box, or you can of course simply pop it into your recycling.
If you are a repeat customer you can opt out of the skincare guidebook. And canvas bags.
What I am doing behind the scenes & my goals.
Looking into using cap lids for repeat customers so you can reuse your own pipettes & pumps which are notoriously hard to recycle.
Creating larger sizes of the oils to create less waste and less shipping.
I would love to provide eco refill sachets/bottles in the future.
Be kind to yourselves,
Thank you for joining me,
Sending Love
