May Lindstrom, the eponymously named line of its creator, is a healthy skincare collection that uses sustainably sourced certified organic, wild harvested, biodynamic and vegan ingredients of the highest quality. May, a former model known as the "skin chef," lovingly makes each batch by hand, and is among the short list visionaries to create ultra luxurious natural skincare products. More of a magician, or alchemist, May has an innate understanding of the raw materials and is able to commingle disparate elements to create harmonious blends that ignite the senses and nourish the skin.

May Lindstrom is a line that inspires a profound engagement with the ritual associated with the finest quality skincare products that boast otherworldly textures, heavenly aromas, and astonishing results. Stress melts away as one yields oneself to the undeniable experiential aspect of this magical line, and one cannot help but savor every moment of this glorious process.

I have effusively reviewed May Lindstrom The Youth Dew Hydrating Serum (HERE), May Lindstrom Skin The Blue Cocoon (HERE), May Lindstrom The Good Stuff Radiance Oil (HERE) and May Lindstrom The Jasmine Garden Botanical Mist (HERE), and now I want to introduce you to the magnificent May Lindstrom Skin The Honey Mud, The Clean Dirt, The Problem Solver and The Facial Treatment Brush.

May Lindstrom The Honey Mud is a luscious product that can be used as a daily cleanser, or as a mask. It is formulated with raw honey, White Halloysite Clay and a lovely selection of pure plant oils that together balance skin, eliminate toxins, dead skin cells and dirt, and leave the skin deeply hydrated and silky smooth. The "pudding-like" consistency is silky smooth, velvety texture that is soft and creamy to the touch, and it feels ultra-luxe and sumptuous against the skin. It has a warm, sweet and delectable natural aroma– that frankly smells good enough to eat!

As a cleanser, this soothing, creamy mud thoroughly, and gently, cleans the skin without ever hinting at stripping it. Instead, it cleans pores, removes dead skin cells and removes all dirt and debris. Skin is left remarkably soft, supple, silky smooth, hydrated and luminous.

The Honey Mud can also be used as a brilliant treatment mask to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, to decongest pores, to brighten and to hydrate the skin.

According to May Lindstrom Skin,

Reveal a calm and balanced complexion that is plush, clear and breathtakingly soft.

An exquisitely distinctive union of raw honey, white halloysite clay, and aromatic pure plant oils marry to envelope you in a truly intoxicating and highly addictive cleansing ritual. This silken, pudding-like treat gently frees you of the day’s pollutants, infusing your skin with active enzymes and nourishment while restoring  your optimal hydration and individual rhythm.

Directions:  As a cleanser: Massage a plump pea sized dollop into warm, damp skin, making circular motions with the pads of your fingertips to release makeup and debris before rinsing clear. As a mask: Apply liberally to clean, dry skin. Allow to penetrate for 10-20 minutes as desired.

May Lindstrom The Clean Dirt, which is described as an "energizing blend of cleansing clays, waring spices, and restorative salts," is wondrous purifying and exfoliating treatment that cleans clogged pores, eliminates dead skin cells while the water-activated Vitamin C brightens skin, encourages cell rejuvenation. It feels a bit like a very gentle microdermabrasion, but it neither irritates the skin, nor does it strip it in any way. Instead, skin is left silky smooth, velvety soft, supple and radiant. The exquisite natural aroma evokes the scent of the finest chai imaginable!

According to May Lindstrom Skin,

An energizing blend of cleansing clays, warming spices, and restorative salts lift impurities while a surge of H20-activated Vitamin C encourages cellular rejuvenation and undeniable luminosity. This stimulating treatment transforms and refines skin’s appearance with a potent cocktail of exfoliants, leaving you velvety smooth and gorgeously radiant.

Directions: Pour a teaspoon of powder formula into your palm, slowly adding drops of water to activate - blending to a grainy, mousse-like texture. Massage into skin avoiding the eye area. You should experience a slightly hot and tingling sensation. Rinse, and follow with The Youth Dew.

May Lindstrom The Problem Solver is an antioxidant-rich purifying mask that is formulated to clear clogged pores, boost circulation, heal blemishes, reduce inflammation, tighten the appearance of pores and restore luminosity to the skin. When water is introduced, The Problem Solver transforms into a fluffy mousse that feels phenomenal on the skin, and it boasts a level of efficacy that is truly impressive. In fact, the results are so pronounced that my skin looks as though I received a professional facial from this treatment alone. The results are truly phenomenal.

According to May Lindstrom Skin,
