Each step in the Hyangii system has a reason and a place based on skin physiology. Although it may seem like a lot of steps, it has been pared it down to what I believe is required to slowly develop and maintain healthy skin:
“My formula for achieving healthy skin: Thorough cleanse (C1, C2). Gentle & regular exfoliation (C3). Hydration with antioxidants (M1), Nourishment with essential fatty acids (M2). Moisture and protection (M3). Protection from the environment (sunscreen).”
C-STEPS. CLEANING ANALOGY
C1 (like dissolves like) Use fresh oil to remove old oil buildup. Have you ever tried using fresh oil to clean old grease off of your kitchen hood/cabinets? Try it sometime.
C2 (extra cleaning power). Use the power clay to gently exfoliate the top layer dead skin and bind excess oils and dirt in your pores before washing it away. It’s like using baking soda to clean grout and other hard to reach crevices.
C3 (back to balance). Bring your skin's acid mantle back to its proper pH. Using acid toner formulated Alpha & Beta Hydroxy Acids, also helps remove dead skin cells. Probiotics from apple cider vinegar and kombucha also bring the skin back to balance. I can't really think of a good cleaning analogy for this.
M-STEPS. FOOD ANALOGY
M1 (Facial Mist=Green juice). Hydrate with water and drink up your water soluble vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Like warm lemon water first thing in the morning hydrates and gears up the gut to absorb nutrients, hydration in skin aids in the absorption of the next steps of your skin care.
M2 (Facial serum=Fish, avocados, nuts). Nourish your skin's lipid barrier with healthy fats.
M3 (Face cream= Creamed soup). It’s made with heat and is a meal on its own. Both water soluble and fat soluble nutrients co-exist in this emulsion to seal in the goodness and to protect the skin, especially overnight.
Having these different formulations allow you to customize the "richness" of your moisturizers, thereby eliminating need for separate eye cream, neck cream, day cream, night cream. Use more M1 for thinner application around the eyes and more M2, M3 for thicker application on the neck.
