Ready for Summer?

Although summer may seem like a long time off, now is the time to get your face and body ready for those warm, long days. Our skin needs some extra care and attention after the effects of winter as the cold and wind outside can be very hard on our pores leaving our faces feeling dry, tired and stretched. Even the central heating of our homes and workplaces and then the harsh cold of outside can leave our skin looking lifeless and dull. Over the recent months some of us may have been suffering from redness and inflammation of the face and dirt may have even been building up in our skin’s pores.

With a few simple steps we can help our face’s skin heal itself, find its natural balance and look radiant once more:

Deep Cleansing
Start with a Facial Steam Bath. This will help you get rid of any toxins under your skin. Dr Hauschka’s Steam Bath will open your pores and get rid of any impurities or blackheads, while the Herbal Extracts will also disinfect and soothe irritated skin. You can follow this with a Dr Hauschka Clay Mask for a really deep clean, which will absorb excess sebum and impurities. Your skin will be left feeling relaxed and clean. Both of these products can be used once a week.

Repair
Once cleaned you can then apply a Mask to your face. The Mask you choose depends on your what your skin needs:

To reduce redness, inflammation and help strengthen your skin try Dr Hauschka’s Soothing Mask. L’Occitane’s Ultra Comforting Mask is well-suited for those with sensitive skin. It will immediately soothe and reduce redness and will moisturize your skin all day long. For those of you who prefer a mask fragrance free this is a good choice and it also does not contain colorant, alcohol or preservatives.

To help moisturize and nourish your skin try Dr Hauschka’s Moisturing Mask. It is very nourishing and its ingredients are designed to nourish extremely dry, sensitive or sun-damaged skin. L’Occitane’s Immortelle Cream Mask is great for dry to very dry skins as it will nourish and moisturize your face leaving it feeling comfortable, particularly during very cold periods, and your complexion will be fresh and radiant.

To help bring back life and vitality to pale, dry skin try Dr Hauschka’s Rejuvenating Mask. This will not only calm and soothe your skin but it will also moisturize it and help improve the elasticity of your pores. L’Occitane’s Moisturising Face Mask is a creamy mask, made with organic olive tree extracts, to moisturize your skin and restore its vitality and radiance.

To nourish, strengthen and moisturize your face’s skin try Dr Hauschka’s Firming Mask. This is particularly good for restoring your skin’s elasticity and natural complexion.

Choosing the right Mask for our faces is important but cleansing the face and helping it recover now, in preparation for the months to come, is even more important.

Not only will our skin feel good, and completely clean but spending some time pampering ourselves this time of year is a great morale boaster!
