ARE YOU LOST? WE'LL GUIDE YOU TO CREATE THE BEST BEAUTY ROUTINE.
We know it's better to use natural skincare products rather than synthetic ingredients. But it's easy to get lost among all the active ingredients and technologies available, so here's our guide to good beauty practices: the dos and don'ts, essential bathroom products, and ideal morning and evening beauty routines... for healthy, radiant skin!
BACK
USE APPROPRIATE CARE PRODUCTS
Use skincare products that match your skin type or concerns. Just because a product is trendy doesn't necessarily mean it's right for your skin.
PUT YOUR PRODUCTS IN THE CORRECT ORDER
Layering involves applying the lightest skincare products first to allow the skin to absorb them more effectively. Generally, you start with the lowest molecular weight and finish with the highest. For example, toners rich in hyaluronic acid are applied first, and an oil is applied last in your routine. Oil also has the ability to penetrate all the layers applied previously.
ALLOW EACH TREATMENT TO PENETRATE
Before applying another product, to prevent the first layer from being diluted by the next, treat your neck and décolletage as an extension of your face.
MASSAGE YOUR FACE
Massage your face while applying skincare products to stimulate blood circulation. This massage will help eliminate toxins and reduce puffiness. It will also allow the active ingredients to penetrate the skin more effectively. We recommend using a massage tool for greater effectiveness.
EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN DAILY
With a gentle exfoliating treatment and a mask twice a week, you can renew your skin for a more radiant complexion and fewer wrinkles. Pores are minimized and the risk of blemishes is reduced. This also allows subsequent skincare products to penetrate more effectively.
• Acid (Wash) - NATOR AGENT
• Hydra Daily Exfoliating Scrub with White Tea + Rooibos and Jojoba Beads - ODACITÉ
SOOTHE THE INFLAMMATIONS
By taking care of its skin barrier. Use anti-inflammatory ingredients as much as possible. A strong skin barrier is the foundation of healthy skin, as more than 90% of skin conditions can be attributed to a weakened skin barrier.
• Derm-Restore Super Serum - ODACITÉ
• Calm Complex - Concentrated Face Oil - IN FIORE
"To take care of my skin barrier, I stick to the 3-step rule: Cleanse, Treat, and Moisturize, and of course, use SPF daily."
Allison McNamara - Founder of MARA
SLEEP WELL
Good sleep: It is at night that the skin renews itself; restorative sleep of 7 to 8 hours with a bedtime before 11 p.m. is important for liver regeneration:
• The Evening Elixir - WELLECO
• Golden Moon Milk - ANIMA MUNDI
• Calm (beauty) - NATEUR AGENT
EAT WELL AND SUPPLEMENT YOURSELF
The green ingredients provide chlorophyll, which oxygenates the skin and stimulates lymphatic circulation. They give the skin a radiant glow.
• Skin Elixir - WELLECO
• The Super Elixir Recharge Green - WELLECO
• Chlorophyll - KIKI HEALTH
Adaptogenic mushrooms delay the effects of aging and help to balance the body:
• Reishi - ANIMA MUNDI
• Adaptogenic Mushroom Blend - KIKI HEALTH
• Chaga in capsules - KIKI HEALTH
Collagen is the most important structural protein in our skin, giving it a plump, smooth, and bouncy appearance. However, collagen production decreases with age, and unfortunately, wrinkles form and the face loses volume. It is therefore important to start taking collagen supplements from the age of 25.
• Natural Marine Collagen - VIDA GLOW
• Holi (Mane) - NATIONAL AGENT
• Collagen Booster - ANIMA MUNDI
APPLY A VITAMIN C-RICH SERUM IN THE MORNING
It's a powerful antioxidant that evens out skin tone, tones the skin, and boosts collagen production. It also protects against the harmful effects of UV rays.
• Holi (C) - NATURAL AGENT
• Sea Vitamin C Serum - MARA
APPLY RETINOL TREATMENT IN THE EVENING
Bazar Bio's favorite ingredient. It's the only active ingredient that's truly proven to have anti-aging properties. This vitamin A derivative stimulates collagen production and cell renewal.
• Renewing Serum - Retinol + Hyaluronic Acid - ODACITÉ
• Retinol Face Oil - MARA
MAKE A DETOXIFYING AND ABSORBENT MASK
At least once a month to unclog pores and absorb all impurities:
• Volcanic Sea Clay Detox Mask - MARA
• Rose Face Mask - ANIMA MUNDI
KEEP WELL HYDRATED
Thanks to active ingredients like hyaluronic acid. Almost all of us suffer from dehydration, even those with the oiliest skin:
• Ambrosia - GENTLERIST
• Hydrating Toning Mist - SOAPWALLA
"Less is more! As tempting as it may be to apply several products to our face every day, it's better to use only a few key products that truly make your skin happy."
Rachel Winard - Founder of SOAPWALLA
OF WHICH
USING TOO MUCH ASSETS
Or worse, combining them (like retinol + acid). This cocktail can have disastrous consequences: causing irritation and damaging the skin barrier essential for healthy skin. It's best to alternate active ingredients in the evening.
DO NOT CLEAN YOUR BRUSHES
Or your mobile phone. There's no point in spending time on skincare products if you're using brushes that will deposit bacteria and cause inflammation. Clean your brushes once a week with a mild soap.
DO NOT PROTECT YOURSELF FROM UV
Daily UV exposure should not be overlooked. UV rays are responsible for most skin problems, even if you don't actively seek them. UV radiation accumulates throughout the day, whether from transportation, through a window, or even from blue light emitted by computers. All these factors can contribute to premature skin aging (the sun is responsible for 80% of collagen destruction), hyperpigmentation, and damage to the skin barrier.
• Impeccable Skin - SUNTEGRITY
LETTING STRESS OVERWHELM YOU
It's no secret anymore. Stress directly impacts skin quality: dull complexion, premature aging... So slow down! If you can't, you can take adaptogenic mushrooms like Chaga to help you better manage your stress.
• Chaga - ANIMA MUNDI
DOING SPORTS WITH MAKEUP
To prevent makeup from clogging pores and preventing the flow of perspiration and sebum:
• Kakadu Clean Cleansing Gel - RMS Beauty
CHANGE YOUR TREATMENT PROCEDURES EVERY 15 DAYS
Cell renewal takes an average of 4 weeks. When you have a skin problem, you tend to be impatient, to try something new all the time, but the secret is to be conscientious, to choose your products carefully beforehand and to stick to them to allow the product to deliver its full effectiveness.
USING AN UNSUITABLE EYE CONTOUR
If you tend to have puffiness when you wake up, opt for a light cream rather than a rich balm for the eye area.
• Holi (Glow) - SWIMMING AGENT
APPLY A CLEANSER TO DAMP SKIN
It will be much more effective and less diluted on dry skin:
• Clarifying Cleanser Peppermint, Charcoal + Rhassoul - ODACITÉ
TAKING SHOWERS THAT ARE TOO HOT
The hotter your shower water, the more it dries out your skin and damages the skin barrier:
• Holi (wash) ageless resurfacing body cleanser - AGENT NATEUR
APPLY THE PRODUCTS TO DRY SKIN
On damp skin, your skincare products will penetrate more deeply and multiply their effects:
• Vitale - Toning Floral Essence - IN FIORE
