OSEA + Hawaii: The Perfect Skincare for Life in the Sun

Living in Hawaii means sunshine, salt water, and outdoor living, but it also means extra care for your skin. Constant sun exposure, ocean dips, and trade winds can leave skin dehydrated, sun-stressed, and in need of serious repair. That’s why we love OSEA at Remedy. Inspired by the ocean and made with clean, hydrating ingredients, OSEA is the perfect fit for island life.

✨ Why Sun + Salt Stress the Skin

• Dehydration: UV exposure + salt water pull moisture from the skin.

• Oxidative Stress: Sunlight creates free radicals that break down collagen, leading to premature aging.

• Barrier Damage: Wind, sweat, and environmental stressors strip the skin’s protective barrier.

• Pigmentation: UV exposure triggers dark spots and uneven tone.

✨ How OSEA Helps Repair & Protect

1. Seaweed Power
OSEA’s foundation ingredient — seaweed — is rich in minerals and antioxidants. It helps remineralize skin, replenish hydration, and fight oxidative stress from the sun.

2. Deep Hydration
Formulas like the Hyaluronic Sea Serum and Sea Minerals Mist restore moisture balance, keeping skin plump and refreshed even after a beach day.

3. Barrier Support
Plant oils (like jojoba + sesame) strengthen the skin barrier so it can handle daily sun + salt exposure without irritation.

4. Anti-Aging Protection
OSEA products are loaded with antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, helping prevent collagen breakdown and fine lines caused by UV damage.

✨ Our OSEA Picks for Sun Lovers

• Ocean Cleanser: Gentle cleanse without stripping after salt water + sweat.

• Sea Minerals Mist: Instant refresh + hydration boost.

• Hyaluronic Sea Serum: Quenches thirsty, sun-stressed skin.

• Atmosphere Protection Cream: Lightweight daily moisturizer with antioxidant protection.

• Undaria Algae Body Oil: Restores glow + hydration after sun and salt.

Flower Steam: What It Is and Why We Love It

There’s something magical about starting a facial with warm steam infused with flowers. At Remedy, our flower steam isn’t just about relaxation, it’s a therapeutic step that preps your skin, calms your mind, and elevates your entire facial experience. Here’s what it does, why it helps, and what we include in ours. Where details matter, and why every step is intentional.

✨ What Is our Botanical Flower Steam?

Flower steam is a gentle stream of warm, hydrated air infused with botanicals. It’s designed to:

• Open pores

• Loosen buildup and congestion

• Hydrate skin

• Prepare the face for cleansing and extractions

The addition of flowers makes it both therapeutic and sensory, adding benefits beyond basic steam.

✨ Benefits of Flower Steam

1. Preps Skin for Treatment
Warm steam softens the outer layer of skin and opens pores, making cleansing and extractions more effective.

2. Boosts Circulation
Steam increases blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin for a natural glow.

3. Hydration Support
Steam helps skin absorb serums and masques more deeply during your facial.

4. Relaxation + Aromatherapy
Flower infusions release subtle scents that calm the nervous system, setting the tone for rest and reset.

5. Gentle Detox
Encourages the skin to purge impurities in a non-invasive way.

✨ What’s in Remedy’s Flower Steam

We blend botanicals designed for both skin and spirit:

• Chamomile → calming, anti-inflammatory, perfect for sensitive skin.

• Rose → hydrates and soothes while promoting a radiant glow.

• Lavender → calming, antibacterial, and stress-relieving.

• Calendula → healing, reduces redness and irritation.

• Jasmine → softening, antioxidant protection, and anti-inflammatory

• Rosemary →circulation boost, astringent effect, and antimicrobial benefits

Professional Facial vs. At-Home Routine: Why You Need Both

One of the biggest questions we get at Remedy is: “If I have a good skincare routine at home, do I really need professional facials?” The truth is yes, and vice versa. Professional facials and at-home routines aren’t meant to replace each other. They work hand in hand to give you glowing, healthy skin. Here’s why both matter.

✨ Why Professional Facials Matter

1. Deeper Cleansing
At home, your cleanser does a lot, but professional facials use steam, exfoliation, and tools (like scrubbers or extractions) to clear buildup you can’t reach yourself.

2. Customized Treatments
Your skin changes with seasons, stress, and lifestyle. A professional esthetician can analyze your skin in real time and adjust products or techniques to what you actually need.

3. Advanced Tools & Products
From scrubbers to masques, and professional-grade serums, facials go deeper than anything over-the-counter. They’re designed for results you can’t replicate at home.

4. Relaxation + Reset
A facial isn’t just skincare, it’s a nervous system reset. At Remedy, our facials include massage and hot towels, helping your whole body relax while your skin renews.

✨ Why At-Home Routines Matter

1. Consistency Is Everything
What you do daily matters more than what you do once a month. A simple routine (cleanse, treat, hydrate, protect) keeps your results going.

2. Barrier Support
Daily moisturizers, serums, and SPF maintain the skin’s protective barrier so treatments last longer.

3. Prevention
Facials correct, at-home routines prevent. Daily care helps minimize issues like breakouts, dullness, or dryness before they start.

✨ Why You Need Both

Think of it like the gym:

• Facials = personal training sessions → targeted, corrective, results-driven.

• At-home care = your daily workouts → maintain progress and prevent setbacks.

Without facials, your routine only goes surface-deep. Without at-home care, your facial results fade quickly. Together, they give you long-term, glowing skin.
