The Lift & Seal ritual

Two steps, one shower, then a quiet minute. Gentle is the point.

Rich white lather on the nylon towel.

Step 1 · Lift

In the shower, 2–3 times a week.

  1. Wet the towel and add your usual body wash.
  2. Scrunch it until you have a rich lather. The more lather, the softer it feels.
  3. Long, light strokes over legs, arms, bottom and back. For your back, hold one end in each hand.
  4. Rinse.

About a minute. Let the towel do the work, no need to press hard. Use it 2–3 times a week on rougher spots like thighs, backs of arms and knees. Elsewhere you can use it daily, as gently as a washcloth.

Not on the face. Skip freshly shaved or irritated skin for a day. If your skin is sensitive, start once a week.

The serum contains lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). Use sunscreen on sun-exposed skin while you use it, and for a week after.

Step 2 · Seal

After the shower, every day.

  1. Pat skin half-dry.
  2. Apply to legs, arms and body.
  3. Massage in until absorbed.

On Lift days, apply right after the towel step. Use the serum within 12 months of opening.

Then let it settle while you breathe out. That's the whole ritual.

Patch test first

Before your first Seal, smooth a little serum on the inside of your forearm and wait a day. If your skin gets red or itchy, don't use it.

Towel care

  • Rinse it well after every use and squeeze out the water.
  • Hang it to dry in an airy spot, spread out, not bunched up.
  • Keep it your own: one towel per person.

Cautions

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse well with water. Do not use on broken, irritated or freshly shaved skin. Patch test before first use. Stop use if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children.
