She is health conscious. Since the birth of her son, who suffered from eczema when he was little, she got more interested in the natural defense of the body and sees bacteria no longer as a negative thing. She eats as much as possible whole grain products, yoghurt, vegetables, nuts & fruits to stimulate the presence of 'good bacteria' which ferment fibers. Although she is not a fanatic sportler, she often takes her bike and follows regularly Pilates classes. She just read something about cryotherapy which intrigued her.
What are her needs?
- A natural, radiant & healthy skin complexion
- A skin free from irritations, redness or impurities
- She does not use a lot of makeup but rather prefers a natural, nude look
Her skin & hair care and beauty preferences are:
- Natural balance, hypoallergenic and PH balanced skincare products
- Microbiotic, prebiotic and or postbiotic skincare products
- Mineral make-up

HYA-ACT™
The Hyaluronic acid line for the ultimate beauty boost. Hyaluronic acid, also referred to in skincare as hyaluronate or HA, is a water-loving polysaccharide already present in the skin. With age, hyaluronic acid in the skin decreases quite sharply, resulting in a loss of hydration, volume and plumpness. Lines and wrinkles also appear, and skin is left looking dull and lackluster. Usually, when hyaluronic acid is added to skincare products, its humectant properties draw moisture into the skin, helping to combat dryness and dullness. What many people don’t realize is that hyaluronic acid comes in various molecular sizes. Larger molecules stay on the surface and give the skin a ‘dewy’ look, while smaller molecules penetrate deeper into the skin to deliver their hydration benefits.
