The Benefits

Cleansing

Cleansing involves using active cleansing agents to penetrate your skin and pores, breaking down and removing daily impurities, pollution particles, excess sebum, and makeup. Thoroughly cleansed skin renews and regenerates itself more effectively and absorbs follow-up products and active ingredients better.

Nourishing

Nourishing skincare focuses on providing a deeply comforting, soothing, and softening experience with richer product formats. Ingredients like oils and ceramides nourish your skin barrier, replenishing essential lipids and hydration to boost resilience and suppleness. These formulas leave your skin feeling nurtured and instantly improve rough texture. Well-nourished skin is less prone to dryness, dehydration, and sensitivity, giving you a more radiant and healthy appearance.

Repairing

Repairing your skin means restoring cells damaged by external factors like UV rays and free radicals, which can harm cell DNA and slow regeneration. Although our cells naturally repair themselves, this ability weakens over time due to ageing and repeated environmental exposure. Active ingredients can boost this natural process, preserving your skin's health, elasticity, and radiance. By supporting skin cell repair, these ingredients combat premature ageing and help maintain a firm, plump, and toned complexion.

Hydrating

Hydration is all about the water content in your skin that keeps it supple and healthy. Humectants, ingredients with water-binding properties, deliver this hydration by attracting water molecules from the atmosphere. For the best results, apply hydrating serums right after a shower. Humectants not only replenish your skin's hydration but also enhance its water retention, creating a long-lasting hydration reservoir. Adding humectants like hyaluronic acid to your routine will restore your skin's healthy glow, minimize fine lines, and provide a plumping effect.

Skin Barrier Strengthening

Strengthening your skin barrier involves replenishing the key elements in the top layer of your skin (stratum corneum), leading to a stronger and healthier barrier. These essential elements include lipids (ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol) and Natural Moisturizing Factors (amino acids, hyaluronic acid, etc.). Various factors, such as incorrect skincare use, seasonal changes, and aesthetic treatments, can damage your skin barrier. When this happens, your skin loses excess water through Trans Epidermal Water Loss (T.E.W.L) and becomes less capable of defending against environmental stressors, resulting in dryness, sensitivity, and irritation.

A healthy skin barrier is crucial for overall skin health as it helps prevent hydration loss, protects against environmental damage, and reduces the risk of skin conditions like eczema and acne. By strengthening your skin barrier, you ensure your skin remains well-hydrated, resilient, and protected.

Anti-Wrinkle

Anti-wrinkle products work to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles by boosting collagen and elastin, essential proteins that keep your skin glowing. Collagen helps reduce wrinkle depth, while elastin shortens their length. Keeping your skin hydrated is crucial, as dehydration can make wrinkles more noticeable. For smooth, bouncy skin, ensure you stay well-hydrated and use products that promote collagen and elastin production.

Plumping

Skin plumping involves using active ingredients to boost the production of key structural components like collagen, the dermal-epidermal junction, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), giving your skin more volume and density. Collagen provides structural support and firmness, while the dermal-epidermal junction, a thin connective layer, ensures smooth, wrinkle-free skin by facilitating cell communication. GAGs, like hyaluronic acid, keep your skin hydrated and plump from within. By stimulating these components, active ingredients help restore your skin's plumpness and radiance.

Active Ingredients

Coconut Derived Esters

Coconut Derived Esters solubilises lipophilic dirt (dirt attracted to oils) and removes impurities for a very effective cleanse without stripping the skin and disturbing the skin barrier function.

Luffa Oil

Luffa Oil is supremely nourishing and repairing. It has a natural composition of 72% polyunsaturated fatty acids, of which 62% are essential fatty acids. This fatty acid content type is close to that of our body's and therefore restores the normal lipidic (oily) state of dry skins, and rebuilds enough oils to replenish optimal barrier function.

Raspberry Seed Oil

Raspberry Seed Oil is rich in Omegas 3 & 6, as well as Vitamin E. It stimulates the repair process, activates skin regeneration and reduces Trans epidermal Water Loss (TEWL), preventing dehydration.

Tsubaki Oil

Tsubaki Oil is very rich in Omega 9, which is a key component of sebum and lipids (oils). It has immense nourishing, antioxidant, protective and strengthening benefits as it replenishes the skin's barrier function. It also protects collagen due to it being able to inhibit the synthesis of MMP-1, which degrades collagen. Therefore, this ingredient firms the skin and reduces fine lines & wrinkles.

Avocado Oil

Avocado Oil is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omegas 3 & 6) and has healthy repairing, anti-inflammatory and nourishing properties. Furthermore, it is also extremely adept at preserving the barrier function and preventing Trans epidermal Water Loss (TEWL).

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid or Sodium Hyaluronate, is a salt form of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. Sodium Hyaluronate has a low molecular size (<70 kDa), which allows it to penetrate the skin deeper and more effectively. Sodium Hyaluronate has superior hydrating and skin-plumping benefits. Increased skin hydration also contributes to efficient natural skin exfoliation, supporting the skin's natural renewal cycle.

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate)

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid or Sodium Hyaluronate, is a salt form of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. Sodium Hyaluronate has a low molecular size (<70 kDa), which allows it to penetrate the skin deeper and more effectively. Sodium Hyaluronate has superior hydrating and skin-plumping benefits. Increased skin hydration also contributes to efficient natural skin exfoliation, supporting the skin's natural renewal cycle.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a powerful oil-soluble antioxidant renowned for its excellent skin-protecting and replenishing properties. It helps prevent premature ageing by safeguarding skin cell membranes from damageing free radicals. Its nourishing qualities strengthen the skin barrier, enhancing resilience against environmental aggressors and improving water retention by reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). Additionally, Vitamin E has soothing effect thanks to it anti-inflammatory properties.

Targeting Dry & Keratinised Skin

Dry and keratinised skin is a common condition where the skin becomes rough, flaky, and thickened due to an excessive build-up of dead skin cells. This can lead to discomfort, itching, and a dull, uneven appearance, making a tailored skincare routine essential to bring relief and restore your skin’s natural glow. Dry and keratinised skin is often caused by a lack of moisture, environmental stress, ageing, and skin conditions like eczema. These factors can weaken the skin’s natural barrier, leading to increased roughness and a loss of that soft, supple feeling we all strive for. When the skin’s moisture levels are low, dead skin cells build up on the surface, creating a thick, rough texture. Cold weather, low humidity, and harsh skincare products can exacerbate dryness, while ageing naturally slows down the process of shedding old skin cells. Conditions such as eczema further disrupt the skin barrier, intensifying the feeling of dryness and discomfort. The key to managing this condition lies in replenishing lost moisture and gently exfoliating to remove dead cells. Hydration helps to soothe and plump the skin, while exfoliation reveals a smoother, healthier surface. Combined, these steps help restore the skin’s natural barrier and improve overall texture. Taking care of dry and keratinised skin means embracing a routine of consistent hydration and gentle exfoliation. Many people find that with regular care, their skin becomes noticeably more comfortable, less rough, and beautifully brighter. The right products work to soothe, soften, and repair, giving you back that smooth, resilient skin you deserve. Caring for dry and keratinised skin is about more than just addressing a condition—it’s about nurturing your skin back to its best self. By combining hydration and exfoliation, you can transform your skin, soothing discomfort and boosting your confidence. With the right care, your skin will feel softer, smoother, and visibly healthier. Embrace a dedicated skincare routine that meets your unique needs and enjoy the comfort and resilience of skin that looks and feels revitalised.
