Coral Story Beauty

A reminder to take extra good care of yourself and your community this weekend as we head into World Mental Health Day.

At Coral Story, we know how important small rituals can be to keep your headspace calm and clear. If you find yourself needing help with how to add peaceful moments to your days, here are a few ideas for inspiration:
» Refresh your morning routine with a herbal mist to hydrate your skin and soak up aromatherapy benefits.
» Try out simple face massage techniques like Gua Sha to unwind tension at the end of your day. Tapping techniques are free to do and have proven to regulate the nervous system.
» Read a good book and cozy up with a steaming cup of herbal tea to calm from the inside out.
» After the shower, move stagnant lymph with body massage and moisturize the skin with soothing botanical oils.
» Experience a facial with Mourning Dove. She knows how to care for you holistically, mind, body and spirit.
» Most importantly, check in on your loved ones, tell them you care! Reach out to a friend, or come say hi to us at the shop. Remember you are never on this journey alone, and we want to teach you all we know about self care. Self care isn’t about spending money, it is about finding ways to come back to yourself.

Sometimes the simple things really are the best things in life. Activist Manuka honey is what magic is made of. 100% edible, this supercharged honey will help heal from the inside out. Eating Manuka honey can support your immune system, soothe sore throats and reduce coughs. It is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and rich in antioxidants. When applied to the skin, it soothes and calms irritation, gently hydrates and exfoliates the skin, speeds skin repair and fights blemishes.

This is a must-have for Morning Dove in her treatment room and at home. Versatile, easy to use, and only one ingredient makes it a Coral Story staple.

Honey is one of the most magical ingredients Mother Earth has given us, and the power of Manuka honey is even greater. We love Activist for so many reasons! Buy a single serving honey-bump to give it a try. 🍯

Craving a reset moment? A facial is more than skincare, it's self care. Anointing oil is used to ground your session with intention, gua sha massage moves stagnant energy, botanical masks hydrate and exfoliate the skin, and personalized care guides every step of the way.

Tip of the day! 💡
We love to keep a full stock of Apoterra exfoliating mud and Live Botanical trial sizes on deck. First of all, they are great to grab-and-go for any travels you have planned. But more importantly, since we don’t offer exchanges or returns, we think minis are the best way to really get to know a product before you invest in the full size!

P.S. no travel is complete without the Live Botanical skin repair balm in your first-aid kit. Treats rashes, bites, cuts, burns and breakouts with ease.

Finding the perfect fit takes time. As seasons change, you may find your skincare routine is not working quite the same as it did in the warmer months. Autumn is a great time to exfoliate deeply, bringing fresh skin to the surface after a summer in the sun. During this season, our skin needs heavier balms and oils to protect our barrier from the elements.

We pride ourselves on the time we take with our customers. To hear about your skin health, what ingredients you avoid, the results you want, and to ensure our recommendations are in alignment with what you actually need.

If you are on the hunt for something new, allow us to guide you! We use and love the products on our shelves, so ask for our expertise next time you are in need of something new. Your feedback on products over time allows us to find the skincare routine of your dreams.

We love green beauty as much as you do - come chat with a green beauty expert!

“Making time to shop at Coral Story during a recent trip to Portland is one of the best retail decisions I’ve ever made! The owner of the store is lovely and knows her products, so shopping with her is a great experience. She made fun, thoughtful, and practical recommendations while still giving me plenty of time and space to browse comfortably. I had such a great time that I plan to shop Coral Story online regularly, until I’m able to visit in Portland again.”
