About Loves Lemons Skincare
Brittany began making her own skincare in 2012 after leaving the medical field as a Nurse’s Assistant to pursue a holistic, plant-based lifestyle in Colorado. She began formulating her own simple, luxurious skincare recipes and learning more about how herbs could heal, maintain, and nurture our skin conditions. She completed the Medicine Making Program at the Chestnut School of Herbalism and now, with over 20 different formulations made with organic ingredients, Brittany sells her products at Farmers Markets, apothecaries, online, and local shops. Handmade skincare is the heart of her self care routine and is the foundation of Loves Lemons. Her intention is to develop plant based products that encourage self care rituals while fulfilling a sense of alignment with nature.
“Tonic herbs, proper nutrition, adequate rest, connection with the self, and joyful exercise are our primary prescriptions for wellbeing”

About Brittany Risse
Brittany began practicing Iyengar yoga in 2009 while working as a Nursing Assistant at Central Texas Medical Center in her hometown, San Marcos.

She hopes that with dedication and the right intention, that yoga will find its way into everything we do.
