Masking is fundamental to skin health and rejuvenation.
Truly organic masks are packed to the brim with food ready to feed your skin all it needs. Masking really helps create that smooth fresh canvas for any of your treatment products you apply after.
I love to mask every single day to help feed and refresh my skin. Sometimes I leave a mask on for over 4 hours for a deep cleanse, and other times for 20 minutes as a quick burst of life.
We've formulated our Natura Miracle Mask and Coffee and Cacao Face Scrub to work together in harmony to elevate your masking experience. The coffee & cacao gives your skin a quick exfoliation whilst the miracle mask delivers deep nourishment helping to depollute and refresh ready for all the goodness from your treatment products to work their magic.
Other NINI approved picks are Ayuna Essence Mask for an enzymatic exfoliation and Josh Rosebrook's Hydration Mask for a boost of water for your skin.
2 - Going Foundation Free
It's an unfortunate fact lovers, our skin is not actually designed for makeup!
With that in mind here at NINI we choose to use a more natural approach to make up and use colour brands that are much more gentle and natural for the complexion.
We do suggest trying to go makeup free whenever possible and only using either the bare essentials or something much lighter and natural.
For those moments we do need our skin to look that extra bit special, our top make up picks are; Honey pie mineral foundation which comes in loose powder form and is free from all the usual nasties.
There's also Sappho vegan mascara for that lifted eye look and Absolution lipstick to add a pop of colour to your face.
3 - Ditching the serums
This will be a controversial one!
I'm a strong believer that any serum other then Hyaluronic Acidone is just a gimmick to help add to a brands catalogue of products.
I'm anti Retinol Serums and all about the Planitnols (vitamin A from plant oils like sea buckthorn or rosehip).
I would never reach for a serum that is vitamin C based as the stability will be compromised (no matter what the advert may say). The only form of vitamin C that is stable is in powder form which can be added to a product to activate.
Hyaluronic Acidone serums are truly magical as they will do exactly what a serum is supposed to do - plumping hydration back into your skin.
Our top picks are Twelve beauty's Moisture boosting serum and Josh Rosebrooks Hydration serum.
4 - Oil cleansing daily instead of Foam cleansing daily
Oil cleansing should be the first step in anyones cleansing routine
Cleansing this way will help to regulate and nourish your skin without striping it of its natural defences or compromising the PH, acid mantle or the lipid barrier.
We should only ever use a foamy cleanser as the second cleanser every 2/3 times a week or if you have been in a heavily polluted area.
We formulated Halo cleansing Elixir to be gentle enough for all skin types and effective enough at removing all makeup.
I love to use our Halo cleanser in the morning followed but Coffee & Cacao face scrub for an extra brightening effect.
