1. Cleaning and cleansing

Whether you use make-up or not, cleansing the skin at the end of the day is important to cleanse the face thoroughly and the first step for a thorough cleansing is to obtain micellar water which, through the micelles, captures all the dirt particles of our skin, leaving it fresh and clean but without attacking it.

After removing make-up and cleaning the face with micellar water, we can proceed to washing.
The Himalaya cleanser is formulated to purify the skin to be used every day as a facial cleanser, to make the skin smoother and remove excess oil and impurities without drying it out. Neem, known for its purifying and antibacterial properties, removes bacteria at the root. Combined with turmeric, it helps control acne and pimples, leaving skin soft, clean, refreshed and hassle-free.

2. Daily hydration

Hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and Jojoba oil combined for a rich and nourishing formula that moisturizes the skin and prevents dryness and irritation from the mask. Furthermore, considering that we face the summer heat, it is not greasy and is not heavy on the skin at all.
Our favorite product is 100% organic and vegan and is Amazon's best seller.
To be used every day before make-up and before going to bed.

3. Weekly and night hydration

To protect the skin from irritation and dryness, daily hydration may not be enough.
That's why we advise you to boost once a week with a fabric mask or a night mask, which not only works for longer but tends to be heavier, as it is not used before makeup.

4. Focus on the eyes

The make-up with the mask, no surprises, will be exclusively an eye make-up.
Sure, no tranfer lipsticks and lip tints help, but with the heat coming, it doesn't seem like a great idea, to put on your lips under the mask.
We also avoid putting the foundation that in addition to staining, it helps not to let the skin breathe, better to avoid it for a while "!

Before putting on eye make-up, you too have probably spent the last few months staring at the screen of your smartphone, pc or TV and now you have dark circles more evident than normal.
