Layered plant based skincare requires us to slow down.

July 29, 2026

Layered skincare. What's that mean? Well, here at MedicineWoods, it means a couple of things. I make two layered products in that, they have a distinctive water/oil layer until shaken well. "Layered skincare" is also, a method of applying products. First one, then another.

In this case the products are Flower Power Toner followed by BlueBliss Serum and then sealed with Biss Moisturizing Cream. And here is a little tip that is of ultimate importance when applying a layered routine of plant based, products.......DON'T BE IN A HURRY. If you do get in a hurry you'll miss the rich tones of each product. You might even think to yourself, "wait. is something wrong here? I can't smell anything." Yep. We go nose blind and can't quite smell anything at all.

A slow application that allows the toner to dry completely, the serum to completely soak in and then dabbing a small amount of cream and massaging gently in. With ample time between layers and your personal attention to massaging yourself is a wonderful "scent-sational" self-care ritual.Get all three products in a "kit" and save 20%.

On The Road

I used to be driven by corporate ads. Then I pulled over & spent my $$ with small business owners. The pause at Medicine Woods stopped my dry skin! ;D Are you ready to pull over?

Thank you so much Mary!!! I feel validated.

Better than $125 regenerative face cream from Maya Chia

Boy, was I surprised with the rose cream.
WOW!
what else do I need to say. I thought Maya Chia was it, until I used the rose cream.
Thank God for Cynthia.

Thanks so much Cara!!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience!

The Bliss Kit

These three combined products are great. My visits to the dermatologist to get ugly things removed has gone down to once a year for checkups. He keeps commenting on how beautiful my skin is. The sun damaging and marks are much lighter and show up less and less. I'm "older" where sun damage would be at it's worst and mine isn't. I'm grateful for this blend of support which has made a big difference for me! Thank you, Cynthia!

Thank you so much Carolyn

Glowing Skin!!

I love all of Cynthia's products. This skin care regimen is delightful. Smells SOOOO good, feels so good and makes my skin look dewy! I also love supporting a small woman owned and operated business. Get some you won't regret it. I also want to shout out for her Mega Mineral tea which reduced my hot flashes SIGNIFICANTLY!! Thank you for all you do.

Thank you so much!!!!

RELEAF for my bursitis

I have bursitis of the medial malleolus—a fluid- filled sac on my ankle that gets very painful. I roll the Releaf on around the lump and then gently rub it onto the bursa and into my skin before I put on a black cotton sock. I do this most days before doing 15000+ steps on a concrete floor at work and then again after I shower at night before I go to bed. The only reason I sometimes skip is because the Releaf has helped so much with the pain and swelling, I forget to put it on! The swelling has decreased by over 50 % and pain is rare.

The Releaf formulation has inflammation-reducing turmeric in it which gives it a pale yellow color. I put on a black cotton sock and wash my hands after so I don’t stain my white sheets at night—which has worked great!

The photos are before rubbing it in and after, so you can see the color.—which is more pale than one would expect from turmeric

I love my Releaf and highly recommend! Thank you so much, Cynthia, for developing this product!

You rock. Thanks so much!!!
