How to easily achieve the effects of your dreams? Read some inspiring tips, use them in your daily care treatments, and start the new season with naturally beautiful skin!
Body Firming and Modeling
The basic principle of restoring firmness and smoothness is regular removal of dead skin cells. The key to flexible skin with natural glow is body peeling. You can achieve exquisite effects using salt and sugar scrubs. Those that also contain plant ingredients actively detoxify and nourish the skin, and reduce the fatty tissue and cellulite. In order to deeply cleanse and firm your skin, you can use ready formulations for individual use or for professional SPA treatments.
HERLA offers comprehensive care programs adjusted to different needs of your skin, including a nourishing program, a rejuvenating program, and a conditioning program. During the summer, when we are particularly interested in body modeling and firming, it is worth choosing the FEMMESSENCE slimming program, which includes a slimming and modeling sugar scrub, massage oil and a body mask.
FEMMESSENCE is a line of products for professional care of body with tendency to store fat and form cellulite. Sugar scrub, which is the first step of the body modeling ritual, effectively removes dead skin cells and stimulates circulation. It also has intensive decongesting properties. Thanks to vegetable oils (macadamia oil, pumpkin seed oil and pomegranate seed oil), it eliminates skin roughness and deeply moisturizes it.
Why is HERLA sugar scrub the best choice? Because it quickly and visibly improves the condition of the skin:
1. It breaks down fatty tissue and models imperfections;
2. It smooths and firms the skin;
3. It ensures skin tone improvement;
4. It prolongs the stem cells’ lifespan.
Skin Revitalization and Nourishment
If you want to enhance intensive skin regeneration and maintain young look longer, think of natural skin-conditioning oils. These products ensure radiant and smooth skin not only during holiday. You can now enjoy firm and silky body all over the year. Everyday care with such oil will indulge your senses and massage your body, offering a simple way to smooth and intensively moisturize the skin. HERLA proudly presents its extensive range of 100% natural vegetable oils. Products perfect for the summer include:
- FEMESSENCE slimming and modeling oil
- Modeling and firming oil with sweet almond oil
- Anti-cellulite oil with grape seed oil
- Macadamia&LipoutTM firming and anti-cellulite oil
- Soothing and smoothing African baobab oil
- Soothing olive oil
HERLA care oils ensure immediate effects that can be intensified by body exfoliation. The oils deeply moisturize and nourish the skin, preventing premature aging, improving the skin’s immunity and acting as a natural UV filter.
Regular use of conditioning oils applied during a massage can visible improve the skin’s condition, ensuring its firmness, flexibility and smoothness. You should remember that massage as a way to shape and maintain a slim figure has a positive effect on water-electrolyte balance, improves circulation, oxygenates the body and streamlines removal of toxins from the massaged areas.
Protection and Optimum Moisturizing
Women who dream of impeccable skin tend to forget that skin fatigue and sagging can be caused by vitamin (mostly A, E and C) deficiency and harmful effects of external factors. Summer is a particularly “good time” for free radicals. They are formed in the skin under the influence of sunbeams, damaging collagen fibers and hyaluronic acid, which ultimately leads to the loss of firmness and early skin aging. Free radicals can be neutralized thanks to the anti-oxidizing properties of selected plant ingredients such as cranberry butter, wild rose oil, ginkgo biloba extract, and grape extract. Plant ingredients offer a wealth of vitamins (A, D, E and K called “youth vitamins”) and antioxidants (flavonoids, carotenoids) which capture free radicals and stimulate collagen production.
In order to ensure the highest protection and optimum skin moisturizing, it is recommended to use balms packed with vitamins and plant ingredients. HERLA meets our expectations and offers aromatic, deeply moisturizing body masks. Our first choice when it comes to summer skin care is the FEMMESSENCE slimming and modeling mask. Thanks to the synergistic effect of brown microalgae and grapefruit oil, it stimulates blood circulation, reduces the visibility of orange peel, activates the process of fat thermogenesis and speeds up its burning. The mask contains plant ingredients rich in fatty acids, phytosterols, mineral salts and vitamins, so it prevents destructive effects of free radicals, protects the skin against premature aging and restores the lipid barrier.
Our tip! All HERLA masks have unique oriental scents that wrap your body and awaken your senses. Choose your favorite scent that will remind you of joyful summer moments on fall and winter nights.
Focusing on body care, do not forget to properly prepare your skin. In the summer, facial skin requires special protection. It is constantly exposed to high temperature and harmful external factors.
Face Cleansing
The basis for summer skin care is cleansing. In the summer, oil glands are more active, and the oily layer attracts dirt particles. This may lead to pore clogging, blackhead formation and intensive acne changes. Every day, thorough cleansing protects us against skin problems, allowing us to enjoy radiant, healthy skin. As part of the cleansing ritual, HERLA offers products from the PUREPERFECTION FACE CLEANSING line: oil, micellar water and makeup remover.
PUREPERFECTION Oil-Based Makeup Remover causes no irritation, and it is extremely delicate and gentle on the skin. It effectively removes everyday dirt and waterproof makeup. It provides necessary unsaturated fatty acids already during makeup removal without drying the skin. It nourishes and relaxes the skin, at the same time enhancing eyelashes.
If you are a fan of micellar water, choose the carefully developed composition by HERLA. Our micellar water for removing makeup from the face, eyes and lips is based on hyaluronic acid, babassu oil, oat extract and D-Panthenol. It perfectly cleanses, tones and refreshes the skin. It also soothes irritation and reddening, so that the skin feels comfortable.
The third formulation allowing to effectively cleanse the face is the delicate satin makeup remover. It removes all dirt particles, soothes and reduces irritation, and detoxifies the skin, enhancing cellular protection. Actively moisturizing and softening the skin, the formulation prepares it for further care treatments.
The PUREPERFECTION product line is a rich source of antioxidants, protecting the skin against premature cell degradation and making up for the oxygen deficiency. Each product leaves the skin thoroughly cleansed and revitalized. PUREPERFECTION formulations can be used on all skin types, including sensitive and easily irritable skin.
Tip for hot days! If you use makeup remover, it is a good idea to wash your face with cool water or wipe it with a wet cotton pad afterwards. You will thus achieve the effect of exceptional freshness and reduce the skin shining.
Moisturizing, firming, modeling and cleansing are key for a neat and beautiful body. Allow your cosmetics to act and enjoy every minute of the upcoming summer!
