Treat yourself to a beautiful afternoon of fun and pampering inspired by the Equinox. On Saturday, March 30, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., participants will relax, meet new friends, and discover the world of herbal skin care. We will go through a plant-based facial routine after creating products that you will take with you to continue your spa day in the comfort of your own home.

Our day will start with creating an aromatherapy candle, bath salt, salve, and infused oil that you will take home with you after we cleanse, exfoliate, steam, mask/treat, moisturize, and massage our faces step by step together using everyday ingredients infused with herbs and essential oils while enjoying herbal tea and infused detox water. To maximize every step, please arrive with a freshly washed face with no makeup products.

No matter your level of knowledge or experience, this workshop welcomes all enthusiasts who share a passion for the power of plants.
