Sun, beach, sea (and maybe a glass of rosé)… We have enjoyed the sun and all the outdoor activities in recent months. But now that autumn is in full swing and we are increasingly seeking warmth indoors, your skin also notices the transition to the new season. Autumn requires different care than the summer months: your skin has had to endure a lot from sunlight, sea and chlorine water, and air conditioning. Even with good protection and care, your skin barrier can come under pressure. Time to adjust your routine a bit, so that your skin is well prepared for the coming cold months!
Prepare your skin for fall
Deeply hydrate
Those who are prone to flaking, dry skin, eczema or psoriasis may have already noticed. After the summer, your skin struggles and feels drier. That's why it's good to put hydration even higher on your priority list and treat your skin to a big portion of natural power food.
MASK ON
Do you sometimes forget your face mask? Then plan that weekly care moment in your agenda right away! Our Intense hydrating facial mask contains Solanum Lycopersicum Seed Oil: a miracle cure from mother nature that protects your skin against free radicals and improves elasticity.
TIP - you can also safely use the face mask to repair small wounds and cracks. A little remedy, I promise!
NIGHT BOOST
The body repairs itself during sleep. This also applies to your skin. So, apply a nourishing cream from head to toe before you get into bed.
- Our Expert recovering night cream contains powerhouses such as aloe vera, argan oil and coconut oil and helps to repair damaged skin and prevent skin aging.
- Use our body butter to deeply nourish your body.
Another golden hydration tip - use a hydrating body cream right after showering, while your skin is still slightly damp. This will seal the moisture into your skin.
Tackle sun damage
Suffering from pigment spots and a dull complexion? Now that your summer tan has gradually faded, skin ailments are more noticeable. A gentle scrub helps your skin to regain its glow. Scrubbing not only gets rid of dead skin cells, but also helps fade pigment spots, prevent pimples and retain moisture.
SCRUB YOUR FACE
Treat your face to a mild scrub once or twice a week. Our Glow inducing facial scrub contains rice grains that gently cleanse your skin down to the deepest pores. The scrub removes dead skin cells and impurities and contains natural, essential oils that are nourishing and restorative.
...AND YOUR BODY
Your body also benefits from a nourishing scrub. Our Soft exfoliating body scrub & bath oil is made from Dead Sea salt minerals and plant oils: the perfect combo to tackle impurities and nourish the skin.
TIP - you can also use our scrub in the bath. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the scrub to the warm bath water and enjoy a nourishing pampering moment!
Stimulate collagen
Sunlight can damage the firmness and elasticity of your skin by breaking down collagen and elastic in the deeper layers of the skin. In the long term, this causes premature skin aging with fine lines, wrinkles and pigment spots as a result.
TIP : Mix a few drops of the Healthy Aging Facial Oil into your night cream in the evening for a boost of Bakuchiol.
