Prestige issue 286, Oct-Nov. 2017
At the autumn, tanned skin and sublimated complexion often leave place for a granular skin, some brown spots that reappear. In summer and to protect itself from the sun, the skin thickens accumulating sebum and dead cells under the stratum corneum, which often reappear and get inflamed once the skin regains its normal thickness. Hyperpigmentation and brilliance are also at the rendez-vous. Here are Lynn’s Apothecary tips, natural products to help your skin regain its shine and renew itself.
Deep cleansing and exfoliation
This is the step to strengthen. Repeat the double cleaning in the evening if you neglected it! Add a mask based on salicylic acid or AHA to remove dead cells accumulated on the surface without attacking. Star products:
- AHA & Copaiba Pai Purifying Mask (suitable for sensitive skins). A combination of innovative fruit acids and anti-blemish active ingredients, this purifying mask clarifies problem areas and tightens pores. It gently exfoliates.
- Clarifying Mask by Tata Harper. Elected this year Best product for oily skin, subject to pimples. It is an exfoliating mask with fruit acids that minimizes the appearance of imperfections and pimples, calms inflammation and fights against excess sebum. It rebalances the skin without drying or irritating it. The skin is purified, cleaner and smoother.
Face Steam
An old practice that is gaining popularity, facial vapors to do at home release impurities and toxins blocked in the pores. The skin is smoother and the skin is tightened.
Sensitive skins refrain. Star products:
- Marigold Glow by Skin Owl
- Botanical Facial of Fig & Yarrow
Light hydration
We tend to remove the moisturizer when we have an oily skin or prone to pimples. This is a mistake because dehydrated skin will want to produce more sebum to make up for the lack. It is therefore imperative to choose a light and suitable cream. Flagship product:
- Clarifying Moisturizer by Tata Harper. In addition to its high hyaluronic acid content for true deep hydration, it also contains Willow bark, a salicylic acid derivative that purifies and exfoliates gently, Tasmanian pepper to soothe inflammation and the seaweed to limit any scars left by the buttons.
Regenerating oil
In the new generation of products, oils are the super heroes of the skin. They are essential to help skin regenerate. Flagship product:
- Beauty Oil from RMS Beauty. A 100% vegetable and light oil, containing Buriti oil rich in vitamin A and antioxidants, which nourishes, regenerates and repairs the damage caused by the sun, for a radiant and perfectly protected complexion.
The Serum and Lightening Essence Duo by Tata Harper
With more than 35 constituents, it is one of the most concentrated and advanced ranges in the world. A powerful corrective treatment that unifies and illuminates the complexion, reduces pigment spots and prevents their long-term appearance.
