The Story of Face Chai
Sensitive facial skin? I’ve been there. I have dry sensitive skin that is prone to eczema. Beginning in my 20’s, I used a combination of expensive skin line products and natural solutions from my grandmother’s playbook punctuated by hydro cortisone treatments during flare-ups of eczema. This regime kept my skin relatively happy through to my 40’s.
Then menopause hit. All hell broke loose. My cheeks developed red, itchy patches and my eyelids began to flake then split. My usual natural routine was no longer a saving grace—not even the hydro cortisone prescriptions helped. What was I to do now?
In my moment of desperation, I called on my grandmother’s wisdom and went straight to my kitchen. I began experimenting with botanical teas, plant extracts and oils whilst paying close attention to the healing power of aroma. Wisdom, research and experimentation eventually paid off after many trials when my skin (and skin of family members and friends) settled down and was once again happy and healthy!
With an desire to help others in similar situations and to honour my grandmother’s knowledge, Free Lion’s Face Chai system was born! Each formula is a nurturing blend of ingredients carefully chosen from both Ayurvedic and Aromatherapy palettes to work with your skin through all its changes and to help manage the effects of stress, weather, hormones, and diet choices—in short, LIFE.

Face Chai FAQ's
How Clean is Face Chai?
The ingredients we've put into the Night Oils and Creamy Wash are 100% Natural and Vegan.
95% of ingredients in Foaming Wash, Hydrating Spritz and Moisturizing Cream are natural; 5% are non-toxic synthetics chosen to preserve the product and to improve texture and absorbability.
I'm a Vegan. Can I use Face Chai?
Yes, you can. Face Chai is made from plant flowers, extracts, waters and oils. The emulsifying wax in the Moisturizing Cream is also plant derived.
What's the shelf life? Do I have to refrigerate Face Chai?
Face Chai is properly preserved using a broad-band preservative. The shelf life is up to a year. No, you don't need to refrigerate it.
Will I have to go through a detox period?
You may have to. That depends greatly on your skin and how many beauty toxins you need to detox from. Give that process at least two weeks and drink lots of water. You can also drink warm lemon water in the morning before eating or drinking anything else. That's an old school Ayurveda detox remedy. Also, try letting your face breath free from foundation while you're detoxing. That might help, too.
