Self-care is

Health-care!

Navigating through these unprecedented times, trying to figure out the 'new normal' and staying sane while in iso is no easy feat.

Maybe you’ve spent the past week binge watching Netflix..

Or maybe it's 4:45 p.m. and you’re yet to shower. However this situation has you feeling – stressed, anxious, angry, it’s OK.

Hell yes it is, because right now the most important thing you can do (besides staying home, social distancing and only coughing and sneezing into your elbow) is to be kind to yourself.

And nothing says be kind to yourself more than a little self-care.

Self-care

is essential to our mental health and wellness, but also an important part of living a healthy and happy lifestyle. Self-care doesn’t have to involve a huge time commitment, it doesn’t have to cost the earth and it doesn't make you selfish.

Let us help you refuel and energise your mind, body and soul with these self-care tips that will leave you hydrated and nourished.

1. SAY BYE TO MASKNE

If you diligently wear a face mask you may have noticed your skin reacting negatively to this new 2020 accessory. Maskne occurs when sweat, oil and bacteria are trapped on your skin while wearing a mask, creating the perfect breeding ground for breakouts.

Using Algologie products, this skin care routine will help you say BYE to that unwanted acne.

Step 1 – Cleanse

Start by using the Algologie Velvety Cleansing Milk to gently dissolve makeup, impurities and traces of pollution.

Step 2 – Toner

To eliminate impurities and tighten your pores for shine-free, even skin tone, use the Algologie Tonique de l'Archipel - Purifying & Matifying Toner.

Step 3 – Face Mask

Use the Algologie Comfort Nutri Soothing Mask to intensely nourish your skin and leave it soft and soothed.

Step 4 – Moisturise

Finish by giving your skin extreme comfort and maximum hydration with Algologie Richesse des Vagues - Hydra-comfort rich cream.

2. PUCKER UP

Have your lips feeling nourished, hydrated and plump with Runway Room’s Lip Prep.

This lip exfoliator will keep your lips in prime condition, ensuring plump, hydrated lips when used regularly. It has a soft hue of pink, allowing you to add a pop of colour and is the perfect everyday lip product.

3. LET BOOSTED HAIR, BOOST YOUR MOOD

We all know a good hair day brings a good mood and you’ll be feeling yourself with the Organic Colour Systems Aqua Boost range.

The Aqua Boost range uses organic, certified aloe, natural black oat extract, Vitamin B5 and lecithin to nourish dry hair and leave it naturally moisturised, smooth and shiny.

Additionally, the organic aloe and natural extract of black oats and lecithin will improve the structure of your hair, improve colour retention and condition – allowing you to have the iso glow-up you desire.

4. BE SCENT TO HEAVEN

After a day of treating yourself to a well-deserved self-care session, it’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy some beautiful scented fragrances. La’Bang Body has recently released various scented wood wick candles.

Our salon stocks four different scents:

• Raspberry Lemonade.

• Vanilla Caramel.

• Coconut and Lime.

These candles are 100% Vegetable Soy Based Wax and will leave you feeling in complete zen mode. All these products mentioned can be purchased at our salon or online, so your ultimate self-care session is only a few clicks away or an in-store visit.

 Let me introduce you to Algologie..

Algologie’s skincare range will revolutionise the way you view and use skincare. Originating in France, Algologie offer a scientifically proven natural range, which contains the finest active marine ingredients - developed from their local knowledge of the benefits inherent to the sea and to algae.

 With pure plant extracts and essential oils, Algologie products are designed to leave you feeling drenched in the beauty of nature.

Can the sea really be the answer to all my skin prays?

It sure can! Since the beginning of time, women from Eastern civilisations have applied seawater and sea plants to their skin with astonishing results. The high concentrations of the sea’s natural vitamins, minerals and protein have been their passport to maintaining a healthy appearance longer and at no cost. Now the sea is universally recognised as a primary source of both health and beauty.

The entire Algologie skincare range is 100% natural, cruelty-free and affordable (in case you needed more reasons to fall in love with this brand).
