PRODUCTS
Preparing your skin with specific products that also facilitate movements is the best way to guarantee results. Shall we review the essentials?
First step: cleansing! Having a clean face is essential for any treatment or exercise we want to perform. Cleansing will not only help us free the skin's pores and remove dead cells, but it will also prevent possible irritations. Therefore, we recommend looking for cleansers with gentle formulas that respect your skin's barrier while cleansing deeply. Our Purifying Bubbles cleansing mousse, for example, has a 96% natural ingredient index that removes all impurities and leaves the complexion clean, fresh, and ready for your workout. 3, 2, 1... let's continue!
Prepare your face for the subsequent treatment; using facial tonic is an important step because it restores the skin's pH. Glowing Tonic also nourishes, refreshes, removes impurities, and fights acne. Our advice? Gently massage your face with a cotton pad, and to help it penetrate the skin better, make circles all over your neck and face, paying attention to your chin, cheeks, hairline, and neck.
Now, let's get into action! With the skin prepared, we can start the exercises! Our tip is to use a few drops of oil, either with your fingertips or with a tool, to facilitate movement, avoid friction, and prevent skin irritation. Our favorite is Workout Oil, a combination of nine oils (sunflower, jojoba, avocado, argan, sweet almond, hazelnut, with essential grapefruit, orange, and ginseng) with a light and moisturizing formula. It's our star product for a reason!
TOOLS
You can perform your massage either with your hands or, to enhance the experience, you can add a tool. We'll tell you which ones are essential!
The most famous tool for performing your massages is, without a doubt, the Gua Sha. It was already used in traditional Chinese medicine and, naturally, over the centuries, its design and use have been perfected. Today, they are found in all kinds of materials; rose quartz, jade, nephrite jade, green aventurine, porcelain... However, since they are organic materials, they can be difficult to disinfect and, in some cases, have a risk of breakage. That's why, in our Studio, we use our stainless steel Gua Sha, which is very easy to clean, unbreakable, and additionally, cold steel counteracts muscle stiffness. Its benefits? It tones, drains, and reduces puffiness in the complexion and under-eye circles. Our trainers usually use it with our iconic Workout Oil, but did you know you can also use it with creams and serums?
It's no secret that screen use, combined with other modern lifestyle habits, negatively affects our gaze and eye contour. And this particularly delicate area needs special care. For this, there are facial tools focused on reducing bags and alleviating the area, such as our Facial Mushrooms, for example. These also drain toxins and decongest the skin, making it smoother. To use them, just use a suitable oil to facilitate mobility and massage from your temples to the eye contour with circular, upward movements. A big pro of our Facial Mushrooms is that you can use them... also cold! This way, you can also fight puffiness. All advantages!
Are small expression lines bothering you? We've got you covered!
Among the most recognized tools are the Facial Cups; two-sized suction cups that, thanks to the pressure they exert, improve circulation and define muscles. Their use is really simple; by pressing the tip, you remove the air, creating a vacuum effect and being able to massage from the chin to the hairline. We remind you that it's important to always use upward movements and go from the center of the face outwards.
There are thousands of product and tool options, but choosing a brand with strong values you can trust is essential for your facial care.
The best thing you can do?
Opt for natural and skin-friendly products, choose suitable tools for your needs, perform workouts correctly, and be consistent. Because enhancing your natural beauty with visible results and without the need for chemical products is possible.
