Practical Applications

Uses

This product comes with a 5ml bottle with oils to add into your bottle of cleanser when you are ready to begin using.

This mild, foaming cleanser is the foundational first step of Melissa’s Botanicals’ Facial Rejuvenation Skincare System. Formulated to remove makeup, environmental pollutants, and surface impurities and it purifies without stripping the skin’s essential moisture. Please use within 4-6 weeks.

To use:

1. Shake well making sure the entire color is the same and not separated thru out the cleanser.
2. Pump 3-4 full pumps in hands.
3. Gently rub onto face, neck and Décolleté. The thickness of the foam should look similar to a man’s shaving cream application.
4. Dampen the Melissa’s Botanicals Japanese “Claire Towel” or a washcloth with a “rougher’ side. Use the rougher side to wipe off dirt, makeup, and impurities. Melissa uses the Almond OR grey colored “Claire Towel” that comes in our Facial Rejuvenation Skincare Kit, or buy them on our website under Claire Towels. Use your finger inside the cloth and the dampened cloth to wipe the entire face foam off with a little pressure for your finger /towel  to exfoliate and enough pressure to turn the skin pink. This pink indicates that you are getting fresh blood to the area and encouraging deep circulation.
5. If you are over 65 or have thinner/ thin skin, rub soap off gently, as your skin will not need the rough exfoliation.
6. Located south of your chin, in French declotet or décolletage is your neck and chest — a critical area that often gets overlooked in American Skincare. Sun damage, especially repetitive intense bursts, can result in collagen breakdown, brown sun spots, crepey skin and visible blood vessels, all hallmarks of skin damage. But we have treatments for this! See the “Rose to Perfection”, Frankincense and the Facial Rejuvenation Serum. Together, this trifecta will turn back the years by breaking down damaged skin cells and renew your Face, Neck and Dec. Add Frankinsece to all of your treatments when using Melissa’s cleansers, serum and moisturizer. Frankincense can also take away moles and skin tags when applied and held for 5 min with a saturated Q-tip 3 times per day for 5-7 weeks. They will fall off when the time is appropriate and you must contiune to use for another 5-7 weeks to keep the cells turnover with frankincense stopping the continued cell memory to bring back the mole or skin tag.

Frankincense can also take away moles and skin tags when applied and held for 5 min with a saturated Q-tip 3 times per day for 5-7 weeks. They will fall off when the time is appropriate. However, you must continue to use for another 5-7 weeks to keep the cell turnover with frankincense stopping the continued cell memory to bring back the mole or skin tag.

Your skin care routine doesn’t stop at your neck. Your décolletage, which includes your neck and chest area, deserves just as much care and attention as other areas of your body.

Please USE WITHIN 4-6 WEEKS. We do not use preservatives.

Antioxidants like vitamin C may help protect your skin and reverse damage from free-radicals. Take 3-6 grams with water per day, or to bowel tolerance.

How Does It Work

This cleanser has calming and restorative properties, infused with Melissa’s patented essential oil complex, featuring Blue Chamomile, Rose Otto, Roman Chamomile, Lavender, and Neroli. These clinically recognized botanicals help reduce visible redness and inflammation, while deeply hydrating and revitalizing the skin for a plumped, smoother, and more youthful appearance. Please use within 4-6 weeks. We do not use preservatives.

Targeting conditions such as Couperose, Rosacea, Broken Capillaries, Blemishes, and Pustules, the formula works in synergy with Rose Stem Cells to soothe reactive skin and restore balance. It is further elevated and specifically formulated with the BLUE natural color of Azulene (obtained by careful distillation of  Blue Chamomile), to calm visible signs of inflammation and redness. Melissa started formulating using French Lavender to “drive” all essential oils to the deepest part of the skin tissue. (She was put on the map with this discovery in 1998). This modem is very effective, and one can again “feel the science of our essential oils”.

Infused with regenerative Neroli and Rosa damascena (Rose Otto),  the cleanser also promotes hydration at the cellular level—softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by visibly plumping and smoothing the skin. The result is a calm, radiant, and youthful complexion, supported by the skin’s natural functions and fortified by plant-powered science.

To further enhance its calming and restorative properties, the cleanser is infused with Melissa’s patented essential oil complex, featuring Blue Chamomile, Rose Otto, Roman Chamomile, Lavender, and Neroli. These clinically recognized botanicals help reduce visible redness and inflammation, while deeply hydrating and revitalizing the skin for a plumped, smoother, and more youthful appearance.

Cautions

As with Any skincare routine, use common sense and see a doctor, dermatologist, or a trusted Wellness Care Provider to help diagnose and prescribe a routine that will work best for your individual skin. Do not use any Melissa’s Botanicals products without testing the product on your inner arm first, waiting for 24-48 hours to make sure the skin doesn’t show any signs of irritation. If you are safe then, you can use the products per our recommendations or how you prefer to use them!

Please USE WITHIN 4-6 WEEKS for best results or cleanser will change color. We do not use preservatives.

Tips

To see fast changes, follow the Melissa’s Botanicals Facial Rejuvenation Skin Care Routine.
In addition, prioritize your overall wellness:

1. Aim for 3-4 liters of water daily.

   • 1 Melissa’s French Minerals – Add 1 heaping tablespoon to 1 gallon of water in the morning, shake vigorously, and drink as much as you can throughout the day. These minerals contain over 200 essential minerals that the body needs for nearly every function, from cellular regeneration to maintaining optimal hydration. Most importantly, unlike water alone (which is a natural diuretic), these minerals prevent the water from running right through you. This ensures that your body absorbs and retains the hydration it needs, supporting nourished, plump skin that smooths out wrinkles and crepey skin all over the body.

2. Drink strong Nettle Tea—only from Melissa’s Botanicals and Rosemary’s Garden. Our medicinal-grade nettle tea is rich in antioxidants, minerals, and blood-purifying properties. According to the Commission E Monographs, nettle is known for its ability to support healthy skin by reducing inflammation and promoting detoxification. It is particularly beneficial for conditions such as eczema, acne, and psoriasis due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Store-bought tea bags are not effective—you would need to use 10 tea bags just to approach the strength of our bulk nettle. For maximum potency, use 1/3 cup of our bulk nettle tea in a French press, steep for 1 hour, then press and dilute with water or drink straight throughout the day.

3. Add Lemon, Orange, Grapefruit, or Red Mandarin Melissa’s Botanicals Essential Oils to your water or food (10-20 drops per day in water, tea, or other health beverages) to support digestion, detoxification, and to invigorate the body.

4. Drink Vitamin C to bowel tolerance (approximately 3-6 grams per day) to neutralize free radicals and support the body’s antioxidant defenses. Vitamin C is crucial for collagen production, helping to maintain skin structure and elasticity. It protects the skin from oxidative stress caused by sun exposure, pollution, and other environmental factors. By reducing free radical damage, Vitamin C can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots while promoting a radiant, even skin tone. Additionally, it enhances the absorption of iron, which is vital for maintaining healthy skin and overall vitality.

5. Sleep as much as possible to support your skin’s natural healing and regeneration. Sleep is the only time our body truly heals. It is during deep, restful sleep that our cells break down and rebuild—this is when your body regenerates and repairs damaged tissue, including skin cells. Without sufficient sleep, the body is unable to perform these essential processes properly, which directly impacts skin health. If you’re not getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night, you won’t see the full benefits of our skin care system. The rejuvenating effects of our products rely on this crucial healing time. Without sleep, you may feel frustrated as you won’t see the changes you expect. Sleep is absolutely essential for lasting, visible results.

Shelf Life

How to Care for Your Products — and Why Daily Use Matters

Our Cleansers, Hydrosols, and Moisturizers are fresh, living products. Please use them within 1-2 months for best results.

We intentionally formulate without synthetic preservatives or chemical stabilizers, choosing pure oils, hydrosols, and botanicals instead. Because of this, your products are sensitive to heat and light. Always store them in a cool, shaded place to maintain their color, aroma, and full therapeutic effectiveness.
If the temperature where you store your products tends to stay above 75°F (24°C), we recommend keeping your hydrosols, moisturizers, and bulk supplies in the refrigerator to help protect their potency and freshness.

Natural separation is completely normal. Simply shake your facial care products gently before each use to blend the active ingredients evenly.

To see real change, daily use is essential. If you apply your treatments every day as recommended, your skin and body will respond profoundly—and you’ll find yourself refilling your bottles monthly or every other month. If you use the products only occasionally, you will not achieve results.

Here’s why:
Essential oils and herbal extracts have a short half-life in the body—measured in hours, not days like pharmaceutical drugs or synthetic skin care ingredients. To create lasting change, active compounds must be applied or ingested several times per day so that the body’s systems recognize the signal to repair, renew, and balance.

Consistency, not quantity, is the key to transformation.

We make it easy to stay on schedule: our small bottles, Natural Italian Leather Pouches, and travel cases are designed to keep your treatments close at hand. Slip them into your purse, bag, or car console. Use them at stoplights, before meetings, or during quiet moments throughout your day.

A steady routine will keep your skin radiant, your body vibrant, and your spirit nourished.
Your body knows how to heal—with a little encouragement, every day.
