As back-to-school season kicks off, it's the ideal moment to revive your natural beauty and wellness habits. From morning face rituals to evening routines, body care, and hair pampering, here's expert advice from beauty blogger Johanne—a super active mom sharing real-life tips—to care for yourself and preserve that enviable summer tan.
For a radiant face, incorporate these two essentials into your morning routine:
1. A hydrating day cream to lock in moisture and extend your healthy summer glow. Try Happycuriennes, enriched with organic hemp oil, for daring, effective results.
2. An organic eye contour treatment—crucial since the delicate skin around your eyes shows signs of aging first. Our box of the month's standout is Atelier Sainte Victoire's eye contour with pure Provençal water. Not only highly effective, it's in a generous 30ml size—twice the standard format—so you can use it morning and night after makeup removal.
Don't neglect your body! That "caramel" summer tan fades fast at home, but these proven tips help prolong it.
3. Exfoliate gently once a week, then moisturize with organic body milk or oil. Contrary to myth, exfoliation is key to maintaining your tan. For extra longevity, consider a beta-carotene supplement—this plant pigment from carrots, melon, mango, lamb's lettuce, spinach, apricots, or parsley acts as an antioxidant, protects cells from free radicals, and boosts melanin production. Perfect timing to refresh healthy eating habits too.
Sun, sea, and sand can leave hair parched—revive it before school stress sets in. Choose a shampoo matched to your hair type; for wavy hair like mine, always follow with conditioner to detangle effortlessly.
4. Weekly, apply a repairing, moisturizing mask with coconut oil, monoi oil, or shea butter to deeply nourish strands. Use up any opened summer oils now—they're best within 12 months.
Keep it light and natural to showcase your complexion: Start with concealer to correct fatigue signs, follow with BB cream or light mineral powder foundation for even tone. Lengthen lashes with Caramel Color Revolution mascara, and finish elegantly with matte lipstick.
Finally, ease back-to-school stress by diffusing organic orange essential oil—its soothing properties work wonders.
Welcome back—stay beautifully natural!
