The emails start to pile up again, the diary fills up, and in mirror image the complexion wrinkles, the feet marked by sandals, the lengths weighed down by salt and sand. The famous holiday “glow” quickly disappears if you go back to autopilot mode. Good news: a few professional beauty procedures are enough to prolong the benefits of summer well after the start of the school year.
Remove your makeup well!
First pillar, makeup removal becomes a treatment in its own right. This step is essential for cleansed and healthy skin, so that your products penetrate better afterwards.
Instead, take oil or balm textures which are easier and, above all, more pleasant. Use movements from the center outwards to massage your face. For a draining effect, go down to the shoulders.
Emulsify with water, supplementing if necessary with a double make-up removal with gel or mousse.
Simple, effective: brushing your hair
When it comes to hair, brushing becomes a real care ritual. It eliminates sebum, styling residue and pollution particles. We choose a boar bristle brush for polishing, a nylon brush for detangling.
Ayurvedic brushing stimulates microcirculation: head tilted, brush from right to left, from left to right, then from the forehead to the nape of the neck to ventilate the scalp.
The little ones forgotten…
Sandals and slides encourage calluses and trap grains of sand.
After the beach, we pass an old toothbrush over the furrows and around the nails to dislodge what has slipped between the skin and the border.
Then, we gently treat the heels and bottom of the feet with a scrub or an emery rasp, without trying to remove everything at once so as not to weaken the skin.
Pretty hands
For the nails, the idea is to let them breathe. The semi-permanent remains occasional and we avoid keeping our varnish on for more than three days. Daily, massage an oil onto the nail and cuticles to moisturize and stimulate the nail bed.
We obtain a natural glossy effect, without scratches or abrasion.
