Office Skincare - Little Drops of Heaven  


Your skin faces harsh damage everyday and this occurs mainly during the long hours at the office. With many modern working women finding it hard to maintain hydration levels, here are some tips to keep your makeup looking fresh - from day to night. 

Ill-Ventilated Air
Indoor air-conditioned environments are terrible for the skin, especially if are working in a large office building.  It is likely that air flows through miles of ducts hidden in behind ceiling boards and you could be sharing the same recycled air you breathe with everyone else. Combined with the lack of fresh air and the drying effects of air conditioned air, you can develop serious skin issues. 

To combat dehydration and defend your skin from damage at the office, try these following tips:

-         Tone your face after cleansing with our delicate organic toners: Organic Rose Water and Lavender + Rose Geranium Water to refresh and remove any residue on the surface of your skin… Bring this dual-function facial toner to office and use it as a face mist to hydrate your skin while you are slogging in the office.

-         Use our range of serums: Hydrating Serum and Firming (Collagen) Serum after toning your face to protect your skin from free radicals and environmental damage.  It will form a barrier to seal in your skin’s moisture and it is an excellent choice for long-lasting hydration.  If your skin is exceptionally sensitive, try Emu Oil. This oil is suitable for all skin types too and you will love the vitamins and antioxidants packed in this product.

-         Don’t think that you are hiding in the office and the UV rays cannot reach you.  UV can penetrate office windows and are potent if you sitting near the window!  Always shield yourself from these harmful rays with your trusty sunblock with at least SPF 30 and above.

-         Make sure you drink enough water to stay hydrated; six to eight glasses a day is the standard recommendation. Hit the office water cooler or bring in your own bottle from home to continue sipping throughout the day.

With these simple steps, your skin will look great from the time you arrive at work to the time you leave — that's all the time…
