Valentine Skincare You’ll Love!
The Skinsmith | 12th February 2024
The origins of Valentines Day come from a few historical stories, however it started though it’s generally a time of the year that we are hoping to look our best with a radiant, glowing complexion to go with a fab outfit for that special day and our special someone.
With a skincare routine for everyone, Eminence has the perfect product choices so your skin can be Valentines ready in time for the big day.
Plus of course choosing a healthy product option will give you a healthier complexion, and a healthy complexion results in radiant skin, so let’s take a look at our simple guide to radiant skin:
Start With A Good Daily Cleanse
The simplest way to radiant skin is using a good cleanser twice a day. Cleansing your skin at the start of your day with healing botanical ingredients helps to prepare and protect your skin whilst infusing your skin with hydration so it gleams the whole day long. Cleansing before bedtime removes all the impurities you have been exposed to throughout your day, plus any make-up, SPF or other products you have applied that day, leaving your skin fresh and feeling healthier.
For HIM - Charcoal Exfoliating Gel Cleanser, is one of our favourite cleansers as this detoxifying cleanser gives a deep, fresh cleanse. Key ingredients such as peppermint, charcoal and malachite gemstone help stimulate and invigorate the skin leaving your skin feeling fresh, clean and re-energised.
For HER - Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser with a gentle lactic acid complex removes superficial dullness and dead skin. Red clover flower extract has anti-ageing properties and helps minimise pores. Mangosteen is high in Vitamin B helping to strengthen the skin whilst potent antioxidant in this super-fruit protects the skin from environmental stressors and leave you with a radiant glow.
For ANYONE - Stone Crop Gel Wash or Stone Crop Cleansing Oil. Fresh, earthy stone crop has so many wonderful benefits for the skin. It brightens, hydrates, repairs and stimulates the skin making it the perfect choice for all skin types and concerns. The gel wash gives a deep cleanse and is often preferred by those with a normal to oilier skin type, whereas the cleansing oil with jojoba oil and sunflower oils provides deeper hydration and is preferred by normal to drier skin types, although an oilier skin can use the cleansing oil too.
Exfoliate For Extra Radiance!
When dead skin cells build up on the surface of your skin it leaves your skin looking dull, dry and can have a rough texture. It can also emphasise fine lines and wrinkles which can leave a more mature look.
Exfoliation removes the dead layer of skin revealing a fresh new layer of healthy skin cells underneath which can also reveal a radiant, glowing more youthful complexion.
For HIM - Stone Crop Oxygenating Fizzofoliant - with adzuki beans, chickpea powder and detoxifying microgreens, this powder to foam physical exfoliant will easily remove surface dullness and impurities and infuse the skin with healing oxygen and nutrients. You can use this alone or shake it into your favourite cleanser!
For HER - Yam & Pumpkin Enzyme Peel gives red carpet ready skin with an amazingly yummy aroma. Fruit enzymes gently remove dead, dull skin, whilst Vitamin C nourishes the skin to reveal a brighter more even skin tone and firmer looking complexion. Use 1-3 times per week or the day before a romantic date!
For ANYONE - Turmeric Energising Treatment this effective 3-in-1 treatment warms the skin for a glowing, brighter, simply fabulous complexion. Zeolite gently heats the skin stimulating the circulation to feed and nourish your skin then anti-inflammatory turmeric infuses the skin with healing botanicals but the best part of this unique treatment is it contains real gemstone! Citrine is the gemstone in this treatment and it re-energises and renews your skin so you will look flawless like a gemstone too!
Masque
Masques can be applied 2-3 times per week. They are potent products that can make an instant improvement to your skin. Apply your favourite Eminence masque about 2 days before Valentines to give you an enviable complexion you just won’t believe.
For HIM - Snow Mushroom & Reishi Masque with an earthy scent this clay based masque deeply cleanses away impurities, intensely hydrates the skin for a smoother complexion and contours the face for a more youthful look.
For HER - Chocolate Mousse Hydration Masque... of course! Infused with antioxidants and nourishing almond and jojoba oil this masque smells just like chocolate. Intensely hydrating and rejuvenating this is more than just a decadent treat it is a zero calorie decadent treat!
For ANYONE – Kombucha Microbiome Leave On Masque, a luxurious creamy masque with pre, pro and postbiotics. This masque helps to strengthen and nourish your skins microbiome which then helps to calm and soothe the skin, minimises dullness and dryness. You can use this as a masque 2-3 times per week or leave-on in place of your moisturiser again 2-3 times per week. Luminous skin for that special date!
Treat and Moisturise
To keep your skin healthy and protected with a happy skin barrier function you should really moisturise daily if not twice daily! And for more intense hydration and moisture treat your skin to a concentrated serum, concentrate or facial oil, they absorb deeper into the skin for enhanced benefits and improvements in your skin.
For HIM - Stone Crop Serum and Stone Crop Whip. The fresh, earthy scent of our stone crop products is a big hit with everyone and especially the guys. Stone Crop comes from the same plant family as Aloe and is excellent at soothing irritation and calming the skin, whilst the brightening and healing properties of stone crop protect the skin for a healthier look. Stone crop is also excellent at soothing irritated skin from shaving too!
