At Home Protocol: 2. THE MUSE & HEROINE SIGNATURE DETOX FACIAL

Every once in a while, we all need to take a step back and focus on rebalancing our body, mind and soul. The environment we’re in, the food we consume, the makeup we apply, and so many more factors can have an impact on our overall wellbeing.

Sometimes, we all just need to hit the reset button. This is why today we are sharing number two of our At-home, step-by-step, holistic protocols: The Muse & Heroine Signature Detox Facial.

DETOX FOOT BATH

Start your holistic detox ritual by taking care of your - often neglected yet super important - feet. This salt bath helps to reduce the acidity of the skin, promotes the elimination of waste products and sets blocked energies free. Skin which tends to be dry and flaky is nourished intensively and sustainably. The alkali salt can be used in various different ways: as a bath for restoring the acid-base balance, after intense sporting activity, to reduce stress, for the treatment of skin disorders and for general regeneration. Ps: Through the feet our body detoxifies the most.

DRY BRUSHING

The Ionic Facial Dry Brush gives your face brushing ritual an upgrade. The ultra-fine copper bristles generate negative ions that energize your facial skin, ward off free radicals and make your skin glow again. Positive charged electrical particles, also called positive ions, block the energy supply to the body from the outside. An energy balance can be restored by negatively charged particles, also called anions. The fine bronze wires of the Ionic Facial Dry Brush create these negatively charged particles directly on your facial skin when rubbed. So, they create a harmonious energy level again and your facial skin shines energized, balanced and refreshed!

DOUBLE CLEANSE

Start your cleaning routine with an oil-based product. The gentle yet super effective Nourishing Cleansing Oil and makeup remover thoroughly cleanses your skin and dissolves all traces of makeup, dirt and impurities.
Oat oil helps soothe and cleanse sensitive and damaged skin and reduce inflammation, while Lingonberry seed oil has been known known to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and increase skin hydration and elasticity. Formulated with high quality organic oils containing vitamins A, C, D and E, this cleanser moisturizes, protects and nourishes the sensitive skin of your face and eye area and helps to restore your skin’s moisture barrier.

After removing makeup and impurities, start your second cleanse. The Detoxing Exfoliant Cleanser is a gentle daily exfoliator filled with natural exfoliating, anti-inflammatory, cell-renewing and brightening ingredients that thoroughly cleanse, balance and hydrate the skin, revealing deeply purified, smoother, and more even, glowing skin. This cleanser made with cooling and calming Jade, clarifies with fresh organic Pineapple, Papaya and Pomegranate fruit enzymes, detoxifies with natural French Green Clay and gently exfoliates with organic Musk Rose Hip Seed Powder to smooth and polish dead skin cells away leaving skin feeling and looking fresh.

REJUVENATE

Treat yourself to a spa-like facial. The Slim Cera Plus uses several rollers to imitate the motion of a therapist’s hands. Similar to a spa facial, the movement from the rollers stimulates facial muscles, rejuvenating and toning the skin. The special diamond-cut roller surfaces cleanse and clear the pores from impurities. It even features a solar panel that generates a micro-current with a simple indoor lighting. In addition, the new massage function added to the end of the Slim Cera Plus is used to massage and stimulate the acupressure points of the face and body for a real well-being therapy.

MASK

The Detoxing Jade Mask is a light but powerful liquid mask that deep cleans pores, gently exfoliates, calms inflammation and reverses free radical damage. Pomegranate, Pineapple and Papaya Extracts work to remove the outer layer of skin cells which trap bacteria and oils, French Green Clay removes impurities and White Willow Bark helps to tighten pores and reduce the risk of scarring. Vitamins C and E found in Watermelon penetrate to the deep layers of skin to deliver moisture and antioxidant protection leaving skin clarified and replenished.

MOISTURIZE

Now that your skin is fully and deeply cleansed, you have a blank canvas ready to absorb all following treatments. This nutrient concentrate is the first step for velvety soft, smooth skin. This product can be used like an ampoule to provide supplementary care or as a special beauty treatment. You will see the results immediately: the skin will look more nourished and feel exceptionally soft to the touch.

And now, for your moisturizer: Crème Bio-logique 27 is a hydrating, detoxifying & anti-pollution daily treatment for all skin types and all ages. The light texture cream melts into the epidermis, it intensively hydrates the skin by replenishing the cellular water reserves. Specially designed for urban and polluted environments, the formula helps diminish the penetration of carbon particles into the skin and protects against fine particles (PM2.5) and heavy metals, thus reducing oxidative stress and mitochondrial toxicity. The preparation acts like a protective shield for the skin. Skin is hydrated and feels as if it can really breathe again. It recovers its natural abilities and is better prepared to cope with daily environmental aggressions.

FACIAL MASSAGE

The first step for an amazing at-home face massage is a face oil. This rare and precious Wild Carrot seed oil is deemed to be the ancestral beauty elixir of French queens, known to “donner bonne mine” (give a fresh, glowing complexion). So concentrated, 2-3 drops morning and night is all you need to awaken skin's beauty. If you like bare, no-makeup skin, this serum is pure magic. Each drop of this nutrient rich oil helps to establish such a vital glow, that makeup becomes optional.In aromatherapy, Wild Carrot’s subtle and unique scent provides a feeling of wonderment.

Once you’ve worked the product with your hand, you can continue the massage with a face tool. A precious stone of protection and healing, the black obsidian from a volcanic rock, regenerates and heals the epidermis while promoting the production of collagen. The movements of the roller on the skin stimulate the blood circulation and the lymphatic system in order to give it back its brightness.

EYE MASSAGE

The sensitive eye area needs intensive yet gentle care. This protective eye cream, an alchemistic combination of botanical extracts like jojoba oil, rockrose, and echinacea, with white diamond essence, copper, and iron was specifically developed to nourish the eye area in order to prevent premature ageing, minimize fine lines and wrinkle and prevent irritations.

The way the Magic Mushrooms move on your skin stimulates the lymphatic system and the blood flow in order to revive your skin and gives it back all its glow.

MIST

Seal the skincare routine with a mist. This intensive mist contains naturally hydrating ingredients such as pseudoalteromonas e xopolysaccharide: a new discovery in natural bio technology, this marine ferment acts like a hyaluronic acid to powerfully attract moisture into the skin. It is blended with hyaluronic acids of three different molecular weights - 200,000 dalton, 5000 dalton and 2000 dalton (the smallest size derived naturally) - Aloe Vera and Rose Water together provide a super boost of hydration and ensure your skin stays soft, moist, supple and balanced.

TEA CEREMONY

Take your detoxifying ceremony to the next level with this purifying and draining blend. A delicate and perfumed tea combining wild pansy and ash traditionally known for their purifying and draining properties.

SUPPLEMENT

And last but not least: aim for the gold. Catalyst Gold is specifically developed to re-program your body on the cellular level while aiding the necessary nourishment and detoxification without harsh cleanses and unrealistic dietary restrictions. Catalyst Gold provides support in boosting the body's natural ability to cut unhealthy cravings and increase energy levels. Herbalore's first breakthrough superfood supplement helps to create a catalyst effect within the body assisting in achieving lasting permanent lifestyle changes. The allergen-free formula of supergreens, herbs, superfruits and essential minerals helps to protect and revive the immune –circulatory –nervous systems, the digestive organs, and supports to revitalize the hair and the skin.
