For many, starting off the new year means making resolutions. With a fresh start, everyone wants to liven up their routine! But it's no secret that only few among us stick to it... So, to make things easier and help you set a nice, attainable goal, our team brewed up a list of planet-friendly skincare resolutions you will find easy to follow. It will give you the resolve for healthy-looking, radiant skin year-round!
1 – Take care of your body
We can’t repeat it enough, but your body is a temple. It carries you, your feelings, your life. In short, you owe it something! So take care of it with a few easy habits:
- Stay hydrated. Hydration is the key to a healthy skin and body. Drink between 1.5 to 2 liters of water per day to ensure your organs stay optimally hydrated – including the largest among them, your skin.
- Eat healthy. Everything you eat or drink affects your body, and as a result, your face. Eat a variety of fresh foods: fruits, vegetables, and fish (for the omnivores). To make sure your skin is as healthy as it can be, add antioxidants into your diet like berries, cabbage species (cauliflower, broccoli, kale, green and red cabbage…), apples, green tea, and even sneak in some dark chocolate! For firm and youthful skin, stimulate collagen production by regularly consuming foods rich in vitamin C (citrus, kiwis, berries…), zinc (pumpkin seeds, nuts, red meat, beans, and lentils), silicon (oatmeal, barley, asparagus, cucumbers, and certain species of algae), and sulfur (garlic, onions, eggs).
2 – Follow an easy and effective beauty routine
Having a coherent skincare routine is not always easy. Between your career and family life, taking care of yourself can sometimes feel like going through an obstacle course. Not to worry, our beauty routine is quick and easy to integrate into your daily life.
- Wash your face every day. The skin on your face is the thinnest on your body, yet the most exposed to the outside world. Washing it is primordial. Morning and evening, purify it with a cleansing routine from our Make-Up Removal/Cleansing Care line. Cleansing your skin helps the moisturizing, and even reparative care you use afterwards.
- Moisturize. For optimal skin hydration, start your day with our Hydra-Protect+ Replenishing Serum followed by our Moisturizing Cream or Fluid, on your face, neck, and upper chest. These versatile products with light textures and seven active moisturizing and hydrating ingredients guarantee fresh-looking and well-hydrated skin both on the surface and at depth for 24 hours. Thanks to ultra-effective formulas inspired by the oceans, our HYDRA-PROTECT + skincare products replenish the skin’s water reserves, reduce losses due to evaporation, and optimize water circulation. Derived from the red algae Gelidium sesquipedale harvested from the shores of the Basque Country, our patented extract Alga-Gorria® neutralizes free radicals with its antioxidant properties, protecting cells and preventing premature skin aging. Extremolite (an amino acid from extremophile microorganisms that survive in extreme environments) blocks out the harmful effects of pollution and blue light. The 100% natural ingredient list helps you both hydrate and soothe your skin simultaneously, shielding it from the elements (dust, salt, pollution, blue light).
3 – Protect your skin from the sun
Winter or summer, no matter. Wherever you may be, protecting yourself from the sun is THE secret to beautiful, healthy skin. At Laboratoires de Biarritz, as sun protection experts, we have created skincare products tailored for every situation.
- Daily. Our SPF30 and SPF50 Tinted Face Sun Creams will unify your complexion while protecting your skin from the adverse effects of the sun. A genuine healthy-glow skin-perfectioner, the SPF30 version is available in four tints (Ivory, Beige, Gold, and Amber) to match the lightest to the darkest complexions. Its 99.6% natural-origin formula shields, moisturizes, and makes your skin look sublime immediately! The Tinted SPF50 Face Sun Cream is particularly suited for people with light skin and ideal for everyone with fragile and sun-sensitive skin. We formulated it without added fragrances for risk-free use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding with 100% natural-origin ingredients and in three tints (Ivory, Beige, and Gold).
- Occasionally. For outdoor exercise, beachside vacations, or trips to the mountains, our Sport Suncare range comes with high and very high, sweat-resistant protection against UVA/UVB rays (SPF30, SPF50, and SPF50+). All the products are easy to use and travel-ready with compact formats too. To shield your face & body, use our Sun Lotion made with antioxidant Alga-Gorria® and 100% natural-origin titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for high-level protection (SPF30, SPF50) thanks to a fluid, non-greasy texture that is easy to apply.
