Chinese medicine focused skincare

Interested in trying Chinese medicine focused skincare? Here are a few that feature herbs traditionally used to help with skin health:

• YINA Beauty and Wellness*

• TOMA Skin Solutions* (Fireweed members can get a 10% discount on these items, too - reach out for details!)

• Mount Lai

• Dermatology M - formulas by Chinese medicine dermatologist Mazin Al-Khafaji for treating common skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, and more.

• CMD Skin Solutions - Chinese medicine dermatology products for common skin conditions.

Recommended Products & Companies

• Tender Bones Salve - this salve is magic for reducing aches, pains, and injuries of all kinds! Also a great balm for at home cupping.

• T.S. Scar Salve - this salve is designed for post-surgical scars. It was designed for post-op top surgery scars, but will work well on all healing incisions. Use after incisions have fully closed.

• Legion Protein & Collagen - Legion independently tests their protein powders and provides the results (COA), so I trust their plant-based protein powder - and it has a great texture!

• Real Mushrooms* - my pick because they use extracts (not powdered mushrooms), have independently verified levels of Beta-glucans (the medicinal qualities of the mushrooms!), and don’t use fillers. They also have Tremella in capsules and powder, which can be tricky to find! (Use code FIREWEED to get 10% off your order.) You can also find several varieties on Fullscript!

Supplement Review Websites

• Consumer Labs - independently tests supplements to verify label claims, summarizes research about the supplement, keeps track of recalls, and more. This is my first stop when I am trying to decide between supplement brands!
