Let me introduce you to a wonderful, natural and cruelty free brand that I have fallen in love with during my second spring.(Menopause)
So I would love to take you through my routine because i found it a life saver when my skin was changing due to the hormonal changes in my body.
The philosophy behind the brand is their swiss heritage-Born in the Swiss Alps. It blossomed over beautiful mountain’s, surrounded by crystal clear lakes, mesmerizing environment. Thriving of its community .
Being strong, fearless, elegant and glowing with confidence gives us a feeling of freedom, because feeling free is happiness itself.
Being your own kind of beautiful speaks louder than words!
I love knowing the story behind the brand so you know if it believes in its own principles. I feel during menopause more natural ingredients work best for your skin.
They combine innovative Swiss biotechnology along with pure magic of nature, it is an experience like no other. Your skin feels amazing from the moment the products touch your skin.
Immediately your skins feels happy and loved. It is a spa like sensation with the natural fragrance of white peach, rose blossom and iris(Female) and Wild herbs, fresh ginger, alpine forest(Male).
The brand focuses on being part of responsible beauty which is so important during Perimenopause and Menopause to reduce skin irritation as well as helping save the planet.
The brand is proud to be vegan and cruelty free containing the “Magic Swiss Code” a formula using plant-based stem cell technology. It is a multifunctional skin care system to help strengthen skin cells while activating the regeneration process.
Showing amazing results by helping our skin regain its natural WOW factor!!!!!
Since I have been using the range my skin is clearer and has felt more lifted and toned with an amazing glow!
The products glide of my skin effortlessly and immediately feel hydrated and calm as my skin is sensitive and can be patchy especially going through menopause.
It is best to use more natural based products so you are less prone to irritation.
My foundation seems to sit better ,looking more natural and illuminating .I don’t feel the need to wear heavy make-up as much. There is nothing wrong if you prefer a fuller matte coverage, it about being you no one else.
My routine routine consist of – ERAZE Balancing foam cleanser, with Aloe Vera, a cleansing agent enriched with antibacterial properties that flush out impurities gently.
Using two pumps of the foam on dampened skin. I use a little spritz bottle with water and spray my skin before hand.
I remove with a damp micro fibre cloth. It leaves my skin fresh and clean without feeling dry and tight which I have found with cleansers in the past.
Then I apply one pump of VITALIZE foam softener pat into my skin to remineralizer with licorice which has soothing effect on the skin, it eases inflammation, reduces redness, irritation and swelling while brightening the skin.
It calms my skin and prepares it skin for the next step….
BOOZT beautifying cellular serum to plump and smooth my skin, using two pumps I massage it into my face and neck avoiding my eyes ,this product is my desert island one.
I cant live without it and everyone who uses it says the same!
It is a amazing serum, from the moment I apply it to my skin it gives an instant smoothness and a lovely glow. It helps boosts elastin and collagen production.
I have been ask many times if you need to use a serum and a moisturiser and the answer is yes they work holistically together.
Your serum will penetrate to the deeper layers of the skin to work ,it is packed full of beneficial ingredients to help your skin regenerate form damage and stay healthy.
Helping speed up the cellular turnover rate so your skin feel softer, younger and more radiant. Serum will hydrate your skin by is not a replacement for your moisturiser or SPF.
Moisturisers have two functions , hydrate and prevent water loss. They seal in existing moisture that your skin already holds and makes it harder for moisture to evaporate during the day.
They do contain other ingredients to address concerns like anti aging, pigmentation or a difficult skin condition.
Your serum and moisturiser will usually share the same ingredients like Vitamins and minerals to help heal your skin or keep it healthy and moisturising agents like
Aloe Vera and Hyaluronic Acid but Your serum is thinner, lighter and has smaller molecules with higher concentration of ingredients to penetrate, improve, correct or nourish the skin.
Avoiding my eye area with my moistures because as I use VISUALIZE transforming eye cream which helps with my dark circles/ puffiness. I have suffered for years with sinusitis which causes my eyes to get very puffy .
I have tried lots of eye creams over the years and I have never found one I was really happy with until now, the difference is clear, my eyes are not as tired looking or puffy looking and the skin around my eyes are much smoother.
I love the airless pump bottle because it much more hygienic than dipping into the pot.
The airless technology has less waste and keeps the products fresher for longer and is eco friendly.
It contains amazing ingredients like Persian silk tree which boost cell energy and revitalizes tired skin as well as supporting the skins natural detoxification process, it also tightens week contours.
I apply one pump to the contour of my eye, about the size of a grain of rice.
Always using my ring finger because it has the lightest touch, gently tap small dots under my eyes.
Starting at the innermost corner, avoiding your tear duct, moving outwards to the temples then along brow bone.
Pat into the skin. The eye area is a lot finer than the rest of your skin so NEVER use your moisturiser or use your eye cream it too close to your eye. I use REGENERIZE regeneration cream for my frown lines, it helps deeper lines and scaring.
Then used my rose quartz roller at this point ,massaging over the eye contours, face and neck to detox and improve circulation.
My last step is my moisturiser ENERGIZE activating 24H emulsion SNA blend cell protection.
This hydrates and protects my skin from infrared and blue light-induced skin ageing. It has lots effective ingredients including Sunflower sprout a powerful anti-agent with high levels of antioxidants that combat free radicals .
Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage skin cells,the come from many different things including
- Pollution
- Toxins
- Smog
- Dust
- Cigarette smoke
- sun
The effects of the damage can effect the skin in different ways-
- Discolouration
- Brown spots
- Broken blood vessels
- Unevenness
- Wrinkles-Breakdown of Collagen
- Loose and Sagging skin-damage to elastic fibres
Twice a week I give what i call a “Magic WOW facial” Using MAXIMIZE energizing black algae mask, which purifies, exfoliates to activate the skins function to refine, plump and smooth.
Containing Bamboo Charcoal an amazing exfoliator, drawing out the impurities and debris that are located in the skins pores, an other key ingredient is Brown Algae which supports cellular renewal.
Slowing down the decline of collagen production helping to keep the skin elastic and smooth.
It also valuable minerals and trace elements so it has powerful blend to hydrate and sooth the skin .It is a powerful antioxidant as well .
Leaving the mask on for about 8 minutes(You can leave on up to 15mins), removing with a damp cloth.
Next I apply AMAZE rejuvenating lifting mask a 100% natural biodegradable softwood fibre, it has a lovely silky activating lotion.
Bursting with an anti -wrinkle peptide complex of Malachite, an innovative active mineral extract rich in trace elements and copper to protects against environmental aggressors and pollutions .
The powerful lotion easily absorbs into my skin leaving it feeling wonderfully fresh, plumped and smooth with lovely glow.
I also try to drink plenty of water throughout the day. In the morning I drink my water with lemon and ginger with my vitamins.
Mid-morning, I take a protein supplement drink mixed with lactose free milk and fruit and a shot of my Omega balance oil for my cellular health, menopausal symptom and healthy skin.
It helps my weight management, energy levels and digestive system because it contains fibre and prebiotics. I know we often associate protein with body builders and athletes, but it’s actually an essential part of anyone’s diet – and especially so for menopausal women!
Protein is a vital nutrient for building hormones, muscles, healthy skin, strong nails, digestive enzymes and more.
If you are feeling a bit unhappy with your skin because you are seeing you skin getting duller and lines are starting to appear or you are a little lost and feeling down and need help, drop me a comment or send me on Instagram or FB.I would love to hear from you.
You never know not only could you regain your glow, it might lead you to a new beginning, It did with me.
Sending love and support
Helena
