Micellar Ceramide Water 100ml (CF Ceuticals range) This gentle micellar water is a must-have for daily cleansing, designed to remove makeup and impurities effortlessly. Packed with ceramides and natural actives like witch hazel and Centella Asiatica, it hydrates and protects the skin while maintaining its natural pH.

Eco Diva superfood skincare

Eco Diva offers biologically smart, functional skincare and makeup that falls within the beauty, wellness, and sustainability categories. The impeccable organic superfood ingredients not only provide the recipient with a beautiful complexion but also deliver the nutrients the skin needs to self-heal. The high vitamin, antioxidant, and omega count in every product offers the pH-balancing properties necessary to heal and calm skin irritations, pigmentation, and acne or breakouts.

Exfoliate, but don’t overdo it

Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, revealing your natural radiance. However, overexfoliating can irritate your skin. Use gentle exfoliants like a natural enzyme peel or a dry exfoliator made from finely ground oats or seeds no more than twice a week.

The magic of oil cleansing

Oil cleansing removes makeup and balances your skin’s natural oils. Use lightweight oils like jojoba, sweet almond, or grapeseed oil to cleanse your skin. Massage the oil in, then wipe it away with a warm, damp cloth.
