Welcome to spring! Goodbye down jackets and turtle neck jumper, let's go for lighter clothes and the return of drinks on the terrace. 

The month of march is just around the corner and that's great because it's not a month like any other. It announces the renewal, the birds singing and the trees in bloom, which immediately gives a boost to the morale. 

To enjoy and be ready for the new season, what a better way than to take care of yourself and your home. Pamper yourself by choosing natural or organic products.

Pamper your sensitive skin

Is your skin looking grey? With this rigorous winter, our body has had to face the rudeness of the cold and wind. Tight and dry, it needs comfort, deep hydration, protection, regeneration and intensive repair to maintain its elasticity and avoid its exhaustion, source of wrinkles and loss of radiance.

Opt for a complete routine by following these 4 steps with natural or organic products based on fresh snail slime. Used for thousands of years, snail slime repairs, heals, moisturizes, protects and brings suppleness and radiance to your skin.

1/ We begin with a well-cleansed skin and free of all the impurities accumulated during the day with an organic cleansing milk. In addition to removing traces of makeup, it moisturizes and cleanses your skin thoroughly.

2/ After a meticulous cleansing, use an organic face scrub for a gentle exfoliation thanks to rice and apricot kernel powder for a smoother skin.

3/ Once the skin is rinsed, an organic face mask will pamper your skin. Its target? To moisturize the skin of your face and neck as much as possible.

4/ And then apply a skin care cream according to your skin type: 

→Classic organic cream for all skin types, 

→Light organic cream for combination to oily skin with an acneic tendency,

→Organic rich cream for dry and mature skin. 

They restore radiance and luminosity to your skin while protecting it from external aggressions.
