3-Step Skincare Routine: Cleanse, Tone, Moisturize

on Jul 29 2024
In a world of 10-step routines and endless product options, sometimes less is more when it comes to skincare. Discover how a simple yet effective routine can transform your skin. Step 1 - Cleanse: The Double-Cleansing Method Did you know that pollution is one of the top causes of premature aging? That's why proper cleansing is crucial. A double-cleansing method will thoroughly clear your skin of impurities. First Cleanse: Use our Revitalising Gel Cleanser to melt away makeup and surface impurities. Second Cleanse: Follow up with the same cleanser and our Konjac Sponge for gentle exfoliation. To help to support blood flow and thorough cleansing, massage for about 60 seconds using lukewarm water.    Step 2 - Tone: The Microbiome-Balancing Step    Toning isn't just an extra step, it's essential for pH balance and prepping your skin for maximum absorption of the products applied after. Try our Super Soothing Toner, packed with seaweed extracts and essential oils. Packed with probiotics, this toner helps support your skin's microbiome. Apply with our Reusable Cleansing Pads for an eco-friendly boost to your routine.   Step 3 - Moisturise: The Hydration Layer   Lightweight, multi-tasking moisturizers are the future of skincare. Our Really Radiant Moisturiser is a powerhouse of hydration and protection. Its plant-based microalgae, shield your skin from pollution while boosting collagen production. Apply in thin layers and patting gently for maximum absorption, to ensure deep hydration without any heaviness.    This 3-step routine isn't just skincare – it's self-care. By focusing on these essential steps and using products packed with clean, effective ingredients, you're not just treating your skin – you're transforming it. Remember, consistency is key. Stick with this routine, morning and night, and watch as your skin becomes clearer, brighter, and more radiant. It's not about having perfect skin – it's about having your healthiest skin possible. Ready to revolutionize your skincare routine? Our 3 Step Cleanse, Tone & Moisturise Kit has everything you need to get started on your journey to glowing, healthy skin.

Hydration Heroes - A Guide to Glowing Winter Skin

on Jan 25 2023
The changes in temperature, from freezing cold outside to facing the dry blast of heating when we walk inside, can really dehydrate or cause sensitivity to our skin at this time of year. Here are our winter skin heroes to get you through!    A Comforting Cleanse Our gel-based cleanser paired with a natural konjac sponge, as in our Seahorse Plankton+ Konjac & Cleanse Kit, gently melts away makeup and impurities whilst providing light exfoliation. Say hello to super soft skin that is revitalised and hydrated.       Smoothing Serum Try adding a hydrating serum, like our Seahorse Plankton+ Bright Eyes Probiotic Serum, as an extra step under a daily moisturiser like our Seahorse Plankton+ Really Radiant Moisturiser. This will nourish delicate skin and revive tired looking eyes with the power of collagen boosting marine extracts, caffeine, and probiotics.        A Daily Boost Boost your evening moisturiser by adding 2-6 drops (depending on how much extra moisture your skin needs) of our supercharged Seahorse Plankton+ High Definition Facial Oil with our restoring Seahorse Plankton+ Bright Night Intensive Cream for the ultimate hydrating duo. Top tip: apply to both face and neck to prevent moisture loss around the décolletage.    Overnight Treatment Applying an intensive oil based overnight face mask like our Abyssinian Oil Night Halo Potent Sleep Mask will balance skin as you sleep with nourishing plant oils and omega’s leaving a glowing complexion when you awaken. The mask will provide a protective barrier to skin to prevent dry air from pulling moisture out from the skin.

How can we reduce our use of Single Plastic at home- ultimately to eliminate all Plastic?

How can we reduce our use of Single Plastic at home- ultimately to eliminate all Plastic?

by Mukesh Kapashi on May 31 2024
Shedding light on Beauty Kitchen  2024’s Earth Day theme was ‘Planet vs Plastics’ Earthday.org are committed to ending plastics to benefit both human and planetary health. They ask that we come together to action a 60% reduction in the production of all plastics within the next 16 years (by 2040). We know that plastic is a danger to all living creatures and that it disrupts the delicate equilibrium of life on earth. They press for a rapid phase out of all single use plastics with the utilisation of innovative technologies and materials to build a plastic-free world. The world is already inundated with single use plastic packaging waste and recycling is not going to solve the problem. There are concerns over what actually happens to the packaging we carefully recycle at home. A Greenpeace report states that thousands of tonnes of our household plastic packaging put out for recycling ends up going into landfill or ‘toxic chemical leaching’ waste incinerators. It has been reported that, sadly, half of UK’s plastic recycling is sent abroad to countries that are known to dump or burn plastic waste illegally. What is the solution? Reuseable & Refillable packaging is widely agreed as the best solution moving forward. Beauty Kitchen does just this, eliminating single use packaging waste by reusing their packaging to support a circular economy. Empties can be sent to Beauty Kitchen.  They remove inserts and labels, then wash the packaging and send to their fulfilment team to reuse for the next batch of products. Beauty Kitchen partners with Reposit (Reuse programme)  to create a universal, professional-refillable, reusable packaging platform. The 2020 British Beauty Council survey revealed that 88% of consumers want to buy refillable beauty products, and that 88% of those surveyed expected brands and retailers to help them live more sustainably. Beauty Kitchen found that 92% of consumers would switch brands for a brand with refillable packaging!  How it works for your customers: Enjoy Beauty Kitchen award-winning products. Simply collect and return their empties back to Beauty Kitchen by generating a Freepost label using the QR code on the product label. The packaging is then washed and refilled with another amazing Beauty Kitchen product. Who is Beauty Kitchen? Beauty Kitchen is certified BCorp- they are the highest-scoring beauty brand in Europe! Born out of co-founder Jo Chidley's love of beauty products, but frustration at finding it hard to come by truly effective products that considered sustainable ingredients as well as packaging. Beauty Kitchen are known for their effective, natural and sustainable products, all crafted to the Beauty Kitchen Promise:   First, the products have to really work! Second, they have to give great results with only natural ingredients. Third, they have to be sustainable, both inside and out.   Made in the UK, the range calls upon scientifically proven formulations that give incredible results, crafted from natural ingredients such as seahorse plankton and Abyssinian Oil. As well as being certified cruelty-free, 95% of products are certified vegan by The Vegan Society. Every product in the award-winning range has been designed with sustainability at its heart. Their anti-aging range is supercharged with a unique blend of sustainable -sourced Seahorse Plankton to brighten and renew skin, proven to boost collagen. This natural microalga is grown in a carbon neutral environment -the microalgae absorb CO2 and releases oxygen, a process used to generate power in the facility, with the extra electricity sold back to the grid.  Join us in tackling the plastics pandemic with Beauty Kitchen!
