3 STEPS TO GIVE YOUR SKIN A BREAK THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
1.EXFOLIATE TO ENSURE AN EVEN TAN
The sun’s shining, it’s bikini season and you want to start working on your gorgeous natural tan. Whether you’re bronzing under the sun or using a self-tanning product, it’s very important to prep your skin first. Hence, exfoliating buffs away dead skin cells and dry skin areas that could cause an uneven or blotchy tan. Most noteworthy, Malée’s award-winning Exfoliating Body Scrub contains a gentle yet effective combination of multi-grain natural salt, skin-loving oils and naturally occurring alpha hydroxy acids to gently slough off dull, dead skin cells and reveal the youthful, radiant skin beneath. Therefore, a gentle exfoliation once a week is enough to ensure that your skin is perfectly prepped and ready to catch a golden glow all summer long.
DO:
To activate the scrub, dampen your hands with a little water to create a rich, milky body lotion. Rub in gentle, circular motions all over your body, concentrating on problem areas such as elbows, heels and knuckles.
DON’T:
Exfoliate more than once per week or scrub too hard when exfoliating.
2. MOISTURISE FOR A SMOOTH, YOUTHFUL FINISH
Once your skin is exfoliated and all the dull, dry skin has been gently buffed away, you’re ready for the next step. Due to the new skin cells that have been revealed, your skin is able to absorb moisture much more easily. So Malée’s Conditioning Body Cream can penetrate deep into your skin. Scientifically formulated with the rich moisture of a butter and lightness of a lotion, this non-greasy body cream is the perfect way to give your skin that much-needed moisture boost before you hit the beach this summer.
DO:
Squeeze a small amount into the palm of your hand and apply liberally all over your body in sweeping movements. Pay special attention to dry areas such as elbows, knees and heels. Apply to damp skin after showering or bathing for better absorption.
DON’T:
Never forget to wear sunscreen! Protect your skin from damaging UV rays by blending an equal amount of sunscreen with your body cream before applying.
3. REFRESH YOUR SENSES WITH THE PERFECT SCENT
Finally, it might be the summer holidays but are you still feeling a bit frazzled from work? Or maybe the hot, humid weather is making you feel dull and listless? What you need is a refreshing aromatherapy boost! Consequently, Verdure Eau de Perfume contains an energising blend of natural essential oils including soothing patchouli, known for its relaxing, stress-busting effects. This revitalising fragrance inspires your senses with a bright, energising burst of citrus, followed by refreshing mint grounded in warm, earthy patchouli. Due to the power of aromatherapy oils, Verdure encourages relaxation and gives your mood a lift.
DO:
Add a spritz of Verdure Eau de Perfume to your pulse points, including your collarbone, back of the neck, hairline, wrists, and the back of your knees.You can also lightly spritz your hair for long-lasting freshness throughout the day.
DON’T:
Rub the scent into your skin. This breaks down the scent structure and weakens the longevity of the fragrance.
