Ash Hour

Five steps. Volcanic grit, smoke, and something animal underneath.

This one starts hot. Ginger and smoky cardamom open the skin. Icelandic volcanic sand takes off whatever the week left on you — the 2-in-1 handles the rest, scalp to shin, no negotiation. Then urea and panthenol, because getting clean is not the same as getting soft.

Finish with Animalique. A little honey, a little fur, a little something that doesn't apologize.

The point of scrubbing down to raw is having somewhere to put the scent.
