In today’s fast-paced world, we are often seeking a moment to pause, think, be mindful, connect with ourselves or nature, fill our cup so to speak. This idea of taking moments to nurture yourself is at the heart of Sodashi’s holistic philosophy, our formulations and rituals are designed to not only care for the skin but support the whole person by calming the mind and uplifting the spirit.
The power of a moment for you
Taking moments, even a few minutes for yourself each day can be deeply restoring. When we pause, we create a space in our mind for clarity and calm. Whether you take a slow breath as you gently cleanse your skin, walking on beautiful green grass barefoot or misting your face and taking in the uplifting essences, it all helps regulate the nervous system and ground us in the moment.
The trick is to be present, be conscious of the texture, scent or feeling and then consistently weave these moments into each day. By doing this, self-care becomes more than something we try to do regularly and instead simply how we flow through life.
Skincare as selfcare
Your skincare routine is the perfect opportunity to slow down and reconnect. At Sodashi, we believe in elevating your skincare routine into a ritual, where rather than rushing through, each step can be a moment of presence and calm, a moment for you.
Below are some simple ways Sodashi can bring a sense of peace into your day
1. Start the morning with a gentle cleanse, feel the texture as you cleanse your skin, taking slow deep breaths to awaken the mind.
2. Apply Sodashi’s Chakra Four Be Joyful, to your heart chakra located on the sternum or to pulse points. Cup your hands under your nose and take in the aroma, feel the joy it brings.
3. In the afternoon as a hydrating pick-me-up spritz Sodashi’s Calming Rose Face Mist. It’s perfect over or under makeup and leaves you feeling instantly refreshed plus your skin will be dewy and glowing.
4. In the evening, prepare your Sodashi Cell Renewal Face Drops or Brightening Face Drops, and delight in the fact that your bathroom now smells like a spa! Apply a warm compress to your skin, gently soaked in warm water and the aromatic face drops, close your eyes and let the calming, grounding essences soothe your senses.
5. After a shower when skin is damp, prepare for sleep by massaging your skin with your favourite body oil or cream. Be in the moment and feel the tension melting away under your hands.
Chakra Oils as a self-care ritual
Sodashi's Chakra Oils offer a simple yet powerful way to deepen your self-care ritual. Each oil is thoughtfully formulated to support a specific chakra, helping to restore balance while calming the mind and uplifting the spirit.
Apply a small amount to pulse points, the heart centre or soles of the feet, then pause. Close your eyes, breathe deeply and set an intention, allowing the aroma to gently guide you back into the present moment. With regular use, these moments become a grounding ritual woven seamlessly into daily life.

The holistic benefit of essential oils in skincare
When you breathe in essential oils, the molecules of that essence are absorbed by your olfactory nerves and then communicate to the limbic system in the brain which controls your emotions and memories. This is how scent can shift how you feel, for example Lime can uplift and lavender calm the senses.
