Harvest Moon

BETTES SKINCARE, ceramic herart METTE MARIE ØRSTED

A core value and characteristic of Bettes Skincare is that the products are made from herbs grown in Mette Themsen’s own garden and the gardens of friends combined with herbs gathered in nature. She prepares oil- or water-based extracts from the herbs, which preserves the complexity of the herbs. This results in quicker and better results when the oils and extracts are used as skincare ingredients, she explains.

December 2024

 

Mette loves marigolds, as do I, and all summer I have enjoyed her marigolds in our own garden, because she included a small bag of seeds with an order a couple of years ago. When they had withered, I gathered the seeds, which I sowed the following year, and so on and so forth. In this way, I am already looking forward to marigold season 2025.

Until then, I am enjoying Bette’s new ‘Harvest Moon – Calendula Body Oil’, a marigold oil based on extracts from the first harvest in 2024.

The oil is composed of rich and precious oils combined with active ingredients that stimulate cell renewal, soothe sensitive skin and leave the skin with a healthy, well-nourished look. It can be used for all skin types but is especially well suited for mature thin and dry skin (“crepey skin”),’ she writes, and who doesn’t have dry, thin skin? She adds,

You can use the oil for both body and face. Optimally, it should be applied on moist skin, right after a shower or bath. It is quickly absorbed, binding both moisture and grease and leaving a wonderful, delicate fragrance of marigold, plum and almond (from herbs and basic oils, no perfume or ethereal oils). 

I am already a fan!

At de anvendte urter er dyrket i egen have, er en af Mette Themsens kerneværdier og et særkende for de hudplejeprodukter hun fremstiller under navnet Bettes Skincare.

Af urterne fra haven (og den vilde nature og vennernes haver) fremstiller hun olie-og vandutræk. Hendes fremgangsmåde, holder kompleksiteten af urterne intakt, hvilket medfører bedre og hurtigere resultater, når olier og ekstrakter siden anvendes som ingredienser i hudpleje, har hun forklaret.

Mette elsker morgenfruer, det gør jeg også, og hele sommeren har jeg glædet mig over hendes morgenfruer, i vores have, fordi hun for et par år siden sendte en lille pose frø med, da jeg bestilte produkter. Efter afblomstringen tog jeg frø, som jeg såede året efter og så fremdeles. På den måde kan jeg allerede glæde mig til morgenfruesæsonen 2025.

 

Ind til da, glæder jeg mig over at Bettes har lanceret en ”Harvest Moon – Calendula Body Oil”, altså en morgenfrueolie med udtræk af den første 2024 høst.

”Olien er sammensat af dyrebare og næringsrige olier, samt aktive stoffer, der stimulerer cellefornyelse, beroliger sart hud og giver huden et flot sundt og velnæret look.  Kan bruges til al slags hud, men er især velegnet til den voksne tynde og tørre hud (“crepey skin”)” skriver hun, og hvem har ikke tynd og tør hud? Hun fortsætter:

”Olien kan bruges overalt på kroppen inklusive ansigt. Optimalt smøres olien ind i fugtig hud, lige efter badet. Den trænger hurtigt ind, hvor den binder både fedt og fugt, samt efterlader en dejligt diskret duft af morgenfrue, blomme og mandel (stammer fra selve urt og basisolier, indeholder ikke parfume eller æteriske olier)”. 

Jeg er allerede fan!
