As activists for self-care, we’re all about looking after your skin and caring for your wellbeing, the timeless way!
As you may have noticed, our products don’t follow the trends or give in to the latest fads. Instead, they’re developed to aid the skin’s natural function, and with this, enhance your natural beauty.
Slow beauty is a movement that supports everything we believe in. By taking a slower approach to self-care, you can find meaningful and mindful beauty routines that serve you and your skin best.
Slow beauty encourages a more focused attitude towards choosing the products that are a part of your routine as well as applying them.
Slow beauty products are made and developed using the finest ethical and sustainable ingredients, as well as the most biome friendly practices.
If you’re new to slow beauty, you can master the art by remembering the four Rs, and trust us, it’ll transform your life!
Reset
Resetting our skincare routines is harder than most people think. It is after all not just the products that need to change but your attitude towards product choice and application.
Slow beauty prompts you to change all you know about beauty, getting rid of the quick fixes and invasive products that as a society we’ve come to depend on.
Still not convinced? Byrdie reveals how dropping your complex, quick fix routine could make all the difference:
“Over the past few years, trends such as the 10- or 12-step skincare routine have overwhelmed some consumers. This is a move towards slower and simpler regimes that work best for the individual.
This more mindful approach is a form of self-care that relieves anxiety, aids sleep, and offers a sense of control in a world that seems anything but.”
Recharge
For most people, an at-home beauty regime is strictly for solving skincare issues. But there should be way more to the ‘experience’ than simply slapping on a product that works and going about your day.
We need a little help to recharge those batteries now more than ever. Post-lockdown life is exhausting and if our period stuck at home has taught us anything, it’s that self-care really should be a priority.
Make every stage of your beauty regime, a luxurious, spa-like experience. Instead of taking the slap-dash approach, work that moisturiser or hydrating gel into your skin with an indulgent self-massage. It’ll give you time out to gather your thoughts and get back into a good headspace, even after the most stressful of days.
Rebalance
Achieving that balance between body and mind isn’t always easy. Our busy lives often get in the way of the basics, but even taking 5 or 10 minutes out of your day to slow down, enjoy the moment and relax makes a huge impact. What better way to do that than by looking after your skin?
When applying your carefully selected slow beauty products, take the time to note all your senses. When using face oils, for instance, apply slowly and inhale the aromas that they create to find relaxation in a seemingly simple, everyday routine.
Recalibrate
The mindful mornings and evenings shaped by slow beauty will transform your regular skincare routine into a luxurious, essential, wind down ritual to prep you for the day or night ahead.
Taking a more natural approach will help you rest, rejuvenate and realign your body, mind and soul. By choosing products that are sustainable, conscious and created to enhance your skin’s natural function, your complexion will change for the better too. This will give you the chance to recalibrate your skin like never before.
With healthier, happier skin, in time you may even feel confident enough to go consistently make-up free, and reap the rewards of natural beauty on a grander scale.
