REPAIR AFTER SUMMER

The skin on your face has a natural protection: the hydrolipidic barrier. It helps keep your face dewy and healthy, but prolonged exposure to sun can damage it. Follow this simple ritual twice a week to help your skin to restore its natural barrier: 
1. Remove makeup with a soft cleansing oil to prevent dryness and help nourish your skin 
2. Apply a face scrub and massage it gently, then rinse off 
3. After your shower, apply a light facial oil 
4. Apply a rich moisturiser tailored to your needs

It’s true, we are what we eat. So the better we eat, the better we look. Remember to eat foods rich in nutrients to fight free-radicals and reveal your inner beauty. Foods rich in beta-carotene such as carrots or sweet potatoes help regulate your skin’s pH, which prevents it from being too dry or too oily, while antioxidant-rich foods such as green tea or citrus fruit help your skin produce more collagen, resulting in firmer, smoother skin. As always, this isn’t a quick-fix formula: you have to make these changes for good to start seeing a real change.

If left unattended, dry hair turns oily because your scalp is overcompensating by producing excessive oil. It’s vital to protect your hair from excessive drying by using a rich hair oil before shampooing. Try an oil with natural moisturising active ingredients, like shea butter or almond oil. You can also try a backwards cleansing regimen to regulate you hair oils.  

To keep your skin moist and supple, even when it is suntanned, you need to exfoliate before moisturising. Choose a rich, buttery scrub for an extra-indulgent feel. Here’s how to do it, twice a week: In the shower, apply body scrub on your whole body, in circular motions from top to bottom Rinse and use the Almond Shower Oil to clean and preserve your skin's moisture Apply nourishing oil once you’ve dried off Finish using Pure Shea Butter to enjoy 100% natural benefits
