THE MORNING

Tone, refresh, tighten pores

I use a toner or hydrosol to purify my skin, refresh my face and tighten my pores. This step is essential to purify and cleanse my skin of excess sebum before applying a serum or cream. The toning lotion is applied using a cotton pad or sprayed directly onto the face. It easily replaces cleaning with water for those who prefer to clean without rinsing.

The eye contour to open the eyes

I apply a hydrating and plumping eye contour serum to open up the eyes. Thanks to its concentration of active ingredients, often higher than a cream or milk, the serum completes the facial treatment. It is always applied before the day cream.

Treat acne (optional)

If necessary, I apply a localized treatment based on essential oils to my spots.

Hydrate, regulate and mattify the face

I apply a light, mattifying day cream that regulates excess sebum . Don't hesitate to choose a day cream with a slight UV index. Indeed, UV rays and the sun dry out the skin. They therefore have, in the short term, a beneficial effect on pimples and enlarged pores, but make no mistake: when you stop exposure to the sun, pimples will reappear with a vengeance. It is therefore better to protect yourself lightly all year round!

THE EVENING

Remove makeup from the skin

I remove my makeup with a two-phase lotion (oil-water) to remove excess makeup. Often, simple cleaning with water is insufficient, impurities persist and spots appear. Deep makeup removal is always essential!

Clean the face

I clean my face with lukewarm water using a mild purifying soap to remove excess sebum. Be careful, do not use a soap that is too aggressive, which will encourage excessive production of sebum and an outbreak of spots subsequently, nor a body shower gel or oil that is too greasy for cleaning the face.

Nourish without greasing the skin

I apply a moisturizing and healing night cream. Do not hesitate to also add healing active ingredients such as Allantoin or fine lavender essential oil if you have acne scars or stubborn spots. Avoid purifying creams at night, prefer a simple, low-fat healing cream.

Toning lotion for oily skin

To purify, cleanse and refresh your skin, nothing likepure sage hydrosol ! Spray it directly on your face or first on a cotton pad or reusable wipe. There is no need to rinse. For an immediate refreshing effect, do not hesitate to put your hydrosol in the refrigerator, it is also ideal for its conservation.

Spot treatment for spots with tea tree

In a 5 ml codigouttes bottle, add 1 ml oftea tree essential oil, 1 ml d'true lavender essential oil, 1 ml d'Java lemongrass essential oil and 2 ml of jojoba vegetable oil. Apply locally to spots morning and evening. Do not rinse.

Mattifying and purifying day cream with propolis

Pour 8 ml ofcry jojoba then add 3 g of cutine. Pour 37 ml of sage hydrosol and 0.15 g of baking soda then mix lightly. Heat 2 pans of water. When the water begins to simmer in the 2 pans, place your 2 bowls in the bain-marie at the same time and let your preparations heat up without mixing or stirring (the water must remain simmering). As soon as the cutina has completely melted in the oil, wait another 1 minute (very important to reach the right temperature) then remove the bowls from the bain-marie. Immediately pour the aqueous phase (i.e. the hydrosol) into the oily phase then beat vigorously with a whisk or fork for at least 5 minutes until a homogeneous and creamy texture is obtained (let cool further 5 minutes). Then add 0.5 ml ofpropolis extract, 10 drops ofisocide and 4 drops of vitamins E. Finally add 1 g ofGreen clay. Beat again to homogenize your preparation. Use in the morning on clean skin.

Healing moisturizing night cream with true lavender

Pour 15 ml of jojoba oil into a first bowl then add 3 g of cutina. Pour 30 ml of sage hydrosol and 0.15 g of baking soda into a second bowl then mix lightly. Heat 2 pans of water. When the water begins to simmer in the 2 pans, place your 2 bowls in the bain-marie at the same time and let your preparations heat up without mixing or stirring (the water must remain simmering). As soon as the cutina has completely melted in the oil, wait another 1 minute (very important to reach the right temperature) then remove the bowls from the bain-marie. Immediately pour the aqueous phase (i.e. the hydrosol) into the oily phase then beat vigorously with a whisk or fork for at least 5 minutes until a homogeneous and creamy texture is obtained (let cool further 5 minutes). Then add 6 drops of true lavender essential oil, 10 drops of isocide and 4 drops of vitamin E. Beat again to thoroughly homogenize your preparation. Use in the evening on clean skin.

Purifying scrub with green clay and olive stone powder

Pour 43 g of green clay and 7 g of olive pit powder. Add 30 ml of sage hydrosol and 5 ml of jojoba oil. Finally add 10 drops of tea tree essential oil. Mix. Then apply to damp face, massage then leave on for 5-10 minutes. When the mask starts to dry in places, it's a sign that you need to rinse!

Gentle soothing and purifying soap with green clay

In a bowl, melt 100 g of organic “Melt & Pour” soap base and 5 g of green clay. Once the soap has liquefied (this step can be a little long), remove the bowl from the heat and add 5 ml of jojoba vegetable oil, 15 drops of true lavender essential oil and 2.5 ml of rice protein. Mix gently to obtain a very homogeneous preparation. Then quickly pour your preparation into a mold because the soap solidifies more quickly with the clay. Let your soap harden for about two hours before unmolding it, then let it dry for 24 hours before using. Use like a classic facial soap. Lather and rinse with clean water.
