10 jaar Self, 10 verhalen die ons nooit loslaten 🫶🏼

Tien jaar geleden begonnen we aan een missie: natuurlijke huidverzorging ontwikkelen die mensen met een gevoelige huid écht helpt. Wat we toen niet konden voorspellen, waren de honderden berichten, foto's en verhalen die we onderweg zouden ontvangen.

Van baby's met eczeem tot vrouwen die hun zelfvertrouwen terugvonden. Van mannen die eindelijk een deodorant vonden die werkte tot gezinnen die hun badkamerkastje volledig omgooiden.

Ter ere van ons 10-jarig bestaan delen we 10 verhalen die ons zijn bijgebleven. Omdat achter elk potje een mens zit. En achter elke bestelling een verhaal.

"I always suffer from eczema in the winter months..."

"The dermatologist has tried several treatments, each without success. But this Body Butter makes the patches feel much less rough and stops the itching... And it smells so good! Absolutely recommended!"

★★★★★ — Katrien

"I am being treated for breast cancer with chemotherapy..."

"I am very satisfied with the body butter and face cream. It nourishes my skin well during this period. I have no irritation from the face cream. I've always had very sensitive skin and my body accepts your products.

Spring is coming and I immediately ordered sunscreen today. Also a shampoo, because my treatment is almost over and I already know that when I can wash my hair again, I will finally stop itching. Before, I often used shampoos a few times only to discard them again, due to itching and scabs on my scalp.

I just want to thank you. You have created a great range for people with sensitive skin, and especially the nourishing body butter during my chemotherapy."

"Bought for the daughter with eczema, but mom is already sold too..."

The Body Butter is light and doesn't feel cold when applied, which is a plus for small children. We apply the Body Butter in the evening as part of our bedtime routine. The butter feels luxurious and beneficial. By morning, the skin is still well-nourished. If necessary, you can rub it into problem areas again in the morning, and you won't have any itching during the day! Eczema flare-ups occur much less frequently. Top product!

★★★★★ — Greet

"I'm always very skeptical of 'miracle products', but this time I really found one..."

"Like many others who wrote reviews, I was also tired of using cortisone. I wanted clear skin without itching and also without cortisone. And I found that in this day cream!

It is indeed an expensive cream, but it's worth every penny. On the first day, I also experienced some tightness when I applied it, but after that came the calm and softness. It's truly fantastic."

★★★★★ — Karen

"I've finally found a day cream that does what it promises..."

After years of searching and trying different brands, I had lost some hope. Some gave me pimples, itching, or extra shiny skin (even the more expensive brands). The scent takes some getting used to at first, but now I even like it. I'm a fan, so I'll quickly buy other products from this line!!

I also want to add this: what great service, simply wow!"

★★★★★ — Iris

"Fantastic product!"

"A Body Lotion that is fluid and light, making it easy to spread and leaving no white residue. Even sensitive skin, in my case very dry skin due to medical treatments, tolerates this product very well. The subtle mandarin scent gives it a summery touch. Highly recommended!"

★★★★★ — Jorijn

"I've struggled with dry, sensitive skin for as long as I can remember..."

"This Cleanser is the first product that has truly nourished my skin and significantly reduced redness. I briefly switched back to store-bought products, but my skin immediately reverted to its previous condition. I even see a change in my facial features. So, I'm a huge fan and will never use other products again."

★★★★★ — Monique

"I first bought this rich cream while undergoing cancer treatment..."

"My skin changed due to chemo and the local radiation certainly didn't do it any good. I even had blisters and my skin was peeling...

When I coincidentally saw a video about the lady who had formulated this product herself to treat her own child's skin problems, I was convinced and ordered it to try. After a few days, it already alleviated my symptoms of redness. And after 14 days, my skin had recovered. Since then, I have always continued to use it and I apply it all over my body daily.

Even my husband uses it! I can only recommend it. Because it really helps! And it also smells fresh."

★★★★★ — Carla

"I am 54 and have had many different creams over the years..."

"I thought they were okay, but I still regularly suffered from dry skin, some acne... With Self's creams, this is a thing of the past; no dry skin, no pimples, and especially the reactions from those around me... I always get asked what I've done to look so radiant... My face has a beautiful, healthy glow thanks to Self.

It's really worth trying."

★★★★★ — Sabine

"I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of these products..."

"My skin is acne-prone and often doesn't tolerate many products because they can cause breakouts or be too aggressive, leading to redness and irritation. When my trusted products were almost empty, I decided to try something new, as I had never been completely satisfied with my old products.

The package arrived beautifully wrapped, and the products themselves looked very appealing. Both the Cleanser and the Scrub leave my skin feeling fresh and clean without making it dry and tight after cleansing. The day and night creams are wonderfully rich and nourishing. I was initially worried about this because past experiences with such creams often resulted in oily skin with a lot of acne, but to my surprise, that didn't happen this time! My skin feels soft, hydrated, and radiates health with these creams, without causing breakouts. I am absolutely thrilled and from now on, I will only use Self products."

★★★★★ — Phyllis

Ten years later, we continue to grow, thanks to you

None of these stories are about us. They are about you.

About the mother who finally found peace for her baby.
