Have you stopped to think about how much stuff you put on your skin every day? All of the serums, primers, foundations and sunscreens can be a lot for your hard-working pores to handle.
If you’re using the right products, you shouldn’t see too many issues with daily skincare and makeup. But it certainly doesn’t hurt to let your skin breathe every once in a while.
So what does it actually mean to let your skin breathe, and how do you do it? We’re diving into the details below.
Let’s start by getting one thing straight: your skin doesn’t actually breathe. It’s nourished by oxygen from your blood. When someone talks about letting their skin breathe, they are presumably saying that they’d like to give their pores a break from product buildup.
There are some makeup and skincare products out there that claim to let your skin breathe. What they’re really claiming is that their products won’t clog your pores. (This may or may not be true. We always recommend using an online ingredient checker to make sure the product you’re using is safe. Simply google “pore-clogging ingredient checker”.)
“Need” is a relative word. Nothing medically dangerous will happen to you if you don’t let your skin breathe once in a while. But you may end up with some irritating skin concerns like increased acne, oily or dry skin, and even more wrinkles. (More on this in a minute.)
Most people make a habit of letting their skin breathe by washing off their makeup and/or the residue from the day before bed, which may be enough “breathing” to give most complexions the break they need. If you’re not washing your face before you go to sleep, it’s time to start! This is a good idea even if you already go bare-faced during the day.
If you decide to take a day (or more) each week to go sans-makeup, here are some benefits you can look forward to over time:
You’ve probably guessed the answer to this by now; step away from the makeup bag! Avoiding cosmetics is the best way to let your skin breathe. If you’re not comfortable or interested in foregoing your makeup altogether, you can ditch the foundation and keep the rest.
To take your skin detox to the next level, we recommend practicing a lymphatic massage (using a nourishing C-serum ). This gets blood flowing and helps your skin get rid of any buildup that’s not helping you glow.
This is also a great time to exfoliate, which removes dull, dead skin cells and reveals the fresh and healthy skin underneath.
Nope, this is not the time to stop caring for your skin with high quality, natural products. Like we’ve mentioned, it’s actually the best time to use your products, since there’s a chance they can sink deeper into your skin and produce better results.
Plus, using nutrient-dense skincare products can give your skin a natural glow, so you may not be interested in returning to your makeup after all.
We’ve formulated our 4 step facial set to be perfect for anyone who’s letting their skin get some much-needed breathing time. These products contain everything your skin needs to flourish, and absolutely nothing it doesn't.
We keep all of our skincare cold, so we can avoid using the toxic preservatives that you’re trying to detox from in the first place. We highly recommend giving it a try and letting us know what you think. Happy breathing!

I love my mist and my vitamin C serum. Makes my skin glow It was nice to see you at Rosemary Beach a few weeks ago
The Cyro-C serum is by far the best vitamin C serum I have ever used. I love skincare so much and you can tell this product is made with care. The smell is amazing and I get complimented almost daily about how my face looks glowing since I started using. Mila was so kind and knowledgeable. I will definitely be rebuying once I run out!
I have oily/combination skin, so I pump/mix both and then apply, otherwise it’s too oily and doesn’t absorb quickly. This works so well! It makes your skin smell great even hours after application. I only wish this trick for oily skin was on the instructions of bottle. I didn’t realize until I saw it on one of their insta stories. Great product otherwise!
I love the body bars!🤗❤️
They keep my skin feeling soft and clean.
I highly recommend them specially if you dry skin.
I love the 4-step facial products. The routine is easy and simple and the results are amazing. This is one of the best product lines I have used on my face, and I can really see a difference in my skin. I first purchased two of the products at Market Days in Tallahassee. When I finished the products, I went back to what I was using previously. It was not long until I decided that Wild Ice is the perfect product line for me and my dry skin. I am hooked.
I recently found these products and amazing creator at our local farmers market and all I can say is WOW! I was instantly sold from the moment I applied the cold-kept cream to my skin. I'll absolutely be going back for more from her skincare line and watching allll of her informative videos on their social media page
This is absolute gold in a bottle that smells like fresh oranges. My skin is sensitive and I do have rosacea and it drinks Cryo-C up! My complexion has greatly improved and am so happy I made the splurge. This, along with the toner, are new repeat buys for my skin routine. I look forward to my skin routine AM & PM just because it feels and smells amazing!
This has improved my skin and is very refreshing. I have sensitive skin and rosacea and this has not caused any breakouts. I use this with Cryo-C and absolutely love it! Will definitely be a repeat buy to my skin routine.
I recently purchased the complete skin care package and I absolutely love it! I’m having a hard time deciding which product is my favorite. The cleanser makes my skin so soft and helps with my overall skin appearance, The serum brightens my skin, one of the best I’ve tried and the moisturizer! It has improved every single issue I’ve been concerned with. Love love love the entire collection! Thank you so much!
Love the whole line, but my favorite is the vitamin C! It gives me such a nice glow. Everything smells great too!
Yuki-Onna Facial: Three Seed and White Willow Restorative Mask
I highly recommend the facial cleanser! My skin feels so soft and clean after using. I have combination skin. At 58 years of age I finally found a product that works for me!!
I use this daily after washing my skin as a moisturizer.. it has made my skin very soft and fresh…love it!!
I just started with this to see how my skin took it before I invested in any more products. I have used it consistently for several weeks and WOW. My skin literally feels more healthy and looks it, too! And my husband is always telling me I smell good right after I put it on. :)
I found this product at the Rosemary Beach farmers market. It is amazing! Have been using it for 2 weeks and my skin feels wonderful. I have rosacea and use others products for it, but this adds to the regimen and soathes your face. Love that it is cold (if you put it in fridge) which is so calming in the summer!
