Herbal Infused Skincare and Self-Care

🛀🏻🌿 Discover the art of caring for your skin with love and intention. Are you ready to embark on a journey into the world of herbal-infused skincare?

Hi! I'm Carrie

I'm an author and skincare maker. I love experimenting with ingredients and finding ways to solve skincare issues and creating products that work for your skin. I believe that less is more, and I like to create recipes that use the minimum number of ingredients that still product the desired results. Carrie's Herbal Infused Skincare Cookbook is for beginners to learn about plants and ingredients and how to make products that benefit their skin type.

I began making skincare because of my son's painful eczema. He has down syndrome and a heart defect and going through his difficult heart surgery and therapy made me realize the importance of self-care. Through "Radiance and Ritual," I share my knowledge, personal experiences, and unwavering passion for self-care with the world, empowering readers to priorities their well-being and live a life of radiant vitality.

It is a year-long journey to radiant skin, intentional self-care, and a deeper walk with Christ, exclusively for my paid Substack members.
