A detox on sunny days

How about taking advantage of the change of season and the arrival (finally!) of sunny days to reset the counters for our skin? For an hour, a week or a month, we take the time to take a break for ourselves and our bodies:we tell you everything about the cosmetic fast that awaits you.

Why opt for detox?

The detox offers our skin a beauty cure ! It helps the epidermis to eliminate toxins and impurities in order to accelerate its cell regeneration. Improving our diet, lifestyle and beauty routine allows us to display beautiful, clear and luminous skin during summer time. As the warm weather approaches, our complexion can be cloudy, dull or experience some redness:it's time to get a facelift and regain some radiance!

Adapt your beauty routine

For a successful summer detox, opt for a new beauty routine in order to lighten it and adapt it to the change of season. For beautiful skin rid of all its impurities, we keep the gesture of triple cleansing with gentle products.

Remove makeup and cleanse

First, remove make-up with an oil or a balm because nothing beats fat… to remove fatty substances! To switch to summer time, we choose a coconut oil like that of Sister &Co . deliciously indulgent, both antibacterial and regulating, or Evolve Beauty's Vanilla and Baobab Cleansing Balm with a half-gel, half-oil texture that melts into the skin to trap impurities and pollution. Then, cleanse your skin with a fresh cleansing gel or a creamy cleanser. For sensitive skin, opt for Pai Skincare's gentle moisturizing cleanser in duo with an organic cotton cloth:rose and camellia oils moisturize the skin during make-up removal while the cotton cloth gently exfoliates the skin. For all other skin types, opt for Akane's Fresh Cleansing Jelly , fruity and antioxidant thanks to its assets of apple and Akane apple tree leaves.

Toning and refreshing

Beautiful and luminous skin is above all well-hydrated skin. In order to perfect make-up removal and remove limescale residue, spray the skin with floral water or a tonic lotion. In order to refresh the skin in the morning, the operation is repeated when you get out of bed. A tonic lotion or floral water does not damage the hydrolipidic film and brings its daily dose of hydration to the skin. With sunny days, we choose products with fresh compositions and we do not hesitate to keep them in the fridge overnight. Balm Balm's natural rose water tones, refreshes and stimulates the skin's micro-circulation. For a shot of trace elements, head for Aloe vera mist from Make it Beauty which contains a large number of vitamins and 18 amino acids.

Gently exfoliate

During this phase of detox for our skin, we take a break and we leave aside the mechanical exfoliation to favor a gentle enzymatic exfoliation once a week which will delicately nibble the dead cells to make new skin. Madara's AHA radiance peeling mask concentrated in AHA , fruit acids and vitamin C moisturizes and acts as an ultra-effective exfoliator! To restore radiance to the complexion and take advantage of detoxifying properties, you can also choose white clay, an active ingredient very popular with combination to oily skin, as with the white clay scrub from Cattier .

Head for antioxidants

Vegetable oils, fruit extracts, and plant extracts contained in organic and natural cosmetics are naturally rich in antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, etc.). These help slow skin aging and limit the production of free radicals responsible for skin degradation by helping cells get rid of toxins more easily. Boost your beauty routine with treatments rich in vitamins C, A and E or in flavonoids which prevent the oxidation of fatty acids and are present in particular in green tea, peppermint or red fruits.

Beauty oils

You protect your skin with the light and penetrating formulas of beauty oils. Thanks to its concentration of active ingredients, it maintains skin hydration by restoring the hydrolipidic film. It protects, softens, softens and plumps up all skin types. If you want to make this beauty oil a moment of relaxation, we melt for Mon Huilette Day de Les Huilettes . Enriched with essential oils of Roman chamomile, Rosat geranium and myrrh with antioxidant and protective properties, this is an anti-aging oil-serum ideal for day care. Carrot essential oil combined with bitter almond oil reveals the natural radiance of the skin, while cistus shiuet essential oils with tightening effects help the skin regain its tone. To take advantage of all its virtues, place 3 to 5 drops of the oil on your fingertips, inhale deeply to take advantage of the psycho-sensory benefits of essential oils and apply with gentle pressure on the skin.

Lighten makeup

When the weather is fine, the skin takes on a light tan that we love:what a joy to see your bare skin so luminous! We take advantage of this so as not to suffocate the skin and let it breathe by only camouflaging small imperfections locally. We naturally beautify the complexion with light-reflecting mineral pigments, adorn our eyes with a line of ivory-colored eye pencil and dress our lips in a soft pink or bright red. To mattify the skin throughout the day, opt for a light, colorless mattifying loose powder:guaranteed results!
