It was quite by chance that I became interested in the composition of my beauty products. A few years ago, I asked the saleswoman why a snail was on the packaging of my face serum. “Because it contains snail slime, come on, madam,” she replied without flinching. I almost fainted in front of the counter and scampered off (without the serum!) pretending to have an urgent appointment.
When my skin starts to play the crocodile game, it's a cocktail of coconut oil and shea butter that comes to its rescue!
Since then, I have discovered that the plant world is also an excellent supplier of substances that are quite effective in giving us beautiful skin. And I leave their slime to snails and their fat to whales and marmots. When my skin starts to play crocodile, especially on the knees and elbows, it's a cocktail of coconut oil and shea butter that comes to its rescue. Alaena's Jardin d'été radiance balm contains it, as well as pearlescent particles that leave a light shimmering veil on the surface of my skin. It is perfect for a makeover before an outing.
Otherwise, nothing like oils — as a bonus, they smell good and give me a headache when I get out of my shower in the morning! They don't just give my skin a drink, they also help with stretch marks, cellulite and other blemishes. Take the Bioactive Body Elixir from Mukti Organics , which I have already given to all my girlfriends: it contains 14 oils (just that!) — prickly pears, baobab, sea buckthorn berries, rosella... — can be used in the bath or as a body treatment. As I like multi-purpose products (this applies to the beauty department, as decoration or accessories!), I also fell for the Deep Reveal Cleansing & Mask cleansing balm signed Amly Botanicals.
Very chic in its black jar, it acts both as a make-up remover and a mask, to be used twice a week. My ultra-sensitive skin appreciates its composition: it contains propolis, healing and anti-inflammatory, and hyaluronic acid, "ze" champion in all categories in the field of hydration — my dermatologist says so . Try it, and you'll see! Add to that a trio of borage, rosehip and sea buckthorn oils for the regeneration aspect, a scent of honeyed flowers, and you'll understand why I can't do without it!
When my skin freaks out and gets red or itchy, I reach for Mukti's Marigold Hydrating Cream , which soothes it almost immediately with marigold flowers, gotu kola extracts and a touch of Roman chamomile.
Recently, I discovered Nüssa Regenerating Body Oil . Based on baobab and marula oil, it boosts cell regeneration and restores epidermal elasticity. Not bad when you lose or gain weight… Precisely, my girlfriend Lola, who is pregnant, loved it.
Its little extra: a delicious smell of frangipane which, according to Lola, is enough to calm her cravings for sweets without making her nauseous!
As a result, she also sought (and found!) something to naturally soothe her acne breakouts. In this area, the Souabou serum from Delbôve Botanics works miracles: it contains horse chestnut, toning and astringent, which tightens the pores of the skin. And its willow bark extracts, antiseptics, soothe and purify the skin. Bye bye buttons!
For good hydration, she relies on Susanne Kaufmann's Regeneration Cream Line F , formulated expressly to quench the thirst of combination skin (again thanks to the famous hyaluronic acid) while balancing it (thanks to the witch hazel!) and soothing it. (long live chamomile!).
