On days when I need a bit of extra moisture, I add a few drops of Face it oil serum to my Make my day moisturizer. Did you know that an oil blend can only be called a serum if all ingredients are active? Our Face it is a real powerhouse delivering high concentration ultra-nourishing ingredients to your skin.

Wellness tip: Now when many of us work from home and spend more time at home, it might be a good time to invest in some house plants. 🌱 Not only do they look lovely but NASA also recommends the following plants for air purification. Areca palm, Mother-in-law’s tongue,🪴 Money plant, Gerbera daisy, Chinese evergreen, Spider plant, Aloe Vera, Broad lady palm, Dragon tree, Weeping fig,Chrysanthemum, Rubber plant and Poinsettia! Perfect for the holidays 🎁
These plants beautify our homes while getting rid of toxins in the air. It’s a win-win situation
What happens to your skin when you are sleeping? There is a reason it’s called beauty sleep. When you sleep it gives your skin a chance to restore, repair and recover. There is actually a fair amount of research and science done about the concept of beauty sleep. This is when some of the most significant internal and epidermal revival takes place. When you sleep your body produces collagen which keeps your skin healthy, promotes cell reproduction and minimizes fine lines. Personally I use a silk pillowcase to avoid sleeping marks in my face and it’s also better for your hair. Even if the Algica in our Make my day cream has tested to be UV resistant it’s beneficial to use as a night cream for other reasons. It’s rich in antioxidants and a powerhouse of nutrients. Did you know that your skin absorbs a higher level of nutrients while you sleep ? So go ahead, close your eyes and take that nap 😴 😴 😴
We can now claim that our Make my day cream protects skin from air pollution damage. A recently conducted study showed that Algica, which is one of the ingredients in Make my day, prevents harmful air pollution from reaching the skin. Exposure of the skin to air pollutants has been associated with skin aging, inflammation, sagging, uneven and dull skin tone. Air pollution may even be as damaging as sun exposure on unprotected skin. We are very excited about this news! Algica is a real hero ingredient 😀💫✨For more information about Algica check out swedishalgaefactory.com

What is squalane? It’s an oil that is increasingly common in skincare. We have squalane in our face cream Make my day and in our body lotion Body buddy. The reason is that it is a phenomenal multitasking moisturizing oil that leaves skin visibly plump, hydrated and minimizes signs of redness and irritation. Squalane reduces the look of fine line and wrinkles, locks in moisture, improves skin elasticity, helps protect skin and assists with oil control while it doesn’t block pores. The squalane we use is naturally derived from olives. Watch out though, there is also squalene with an e. This is either unethically derived from shark liver or a synthetic material. Squalane -yes! Squalene -no!
