Piñon Hydrosol contains the terpene pinene which has slightly exfoliating properties, brings down redness, and helps to promote relaxation, and may reduce the spread of viruses and bacteria. It’s very gentle on the skin but can be drying, more so than Juniper Hydrosol. Pinene also contributes to the woodsy, earthy scent of pine and conifer plants. The aroma of our winter hydrosol is bright and lemony, with an earthy yet floral, woodsy winter crisp scent.

How to use Piñon Hydrosol in a skincare routine

Piñon Hydrosol can be used on most skin types, but is specifically indicated for oilier skin and blemish-prone skin types since the pinene helps to bring down sebaceous activity in the skin. 

In a routine, after cleansing, spray directly onto the skin, into your hands, or on a cotton pad for extra exfoliation, then follow up with your moisturizer. It pairs well with our Hydrating Serum, Restorative Face Cream and oilier constitutions may like it with our Daily Face Cream Light.

When you’re out of the shower, spray Piñon Hydrosol to help prevent ingrown hair and breakouts.

To dry up pimples, you can use Piñon Hydrosol mixed in with our Sulfur Mask, or as a compress, saturating a cotton pad with the hydrosol and putting it over the pimple to dry up the pimple on the skin.

As always, hydrosols can be used throughout the day as an uplifting spritz on the skin or as a room spray to bring earthy aromatics to your space.
