We’re all too familiar with the implicit undertone of the polite yet unsolicited morning greeting of “you look tired today.” Wake up dull and sleepy skin from within these 5 skin-rejuvenating and detoxifying remedies that we’re sure will leave you looking well-rested—even after those long summer nights.
Skin care problem: Tired, stressed-out—and thirsty
The fix: Sahara Tea Beautiful Foolishness pomegranate and white tea ($15.95), at saharatea.ca.
Detox ingredients: A fragrant, loose-leaf mix of white tea, pomegranate, coconut and exotic fruits, known for its anti-aging properties and improving skin’s complexion.
Skin rejuvenation: Make holistic skin care your cup of tea with this antioxidant-enriched white tea blend, which helps eliminate toxins absorbed in the skin from diet, environmental free radicals and stress, brightening complexion with a natural, healthy glow.
Best enjoyed: Sipped under the sun on your deck while your iPod serenades you with soothing ocean sounds (bonus points if you’re laying out by an actual ocean).
Skin care problem: Oily and inflamed
The fix: John Masters Organics Moroccan Clay Purifying Mask ($42) at johnmasters.ca.
Detox ingredients: A purifying mask made of Moroccan clay to sop of excess oil and impurities, infused with the anti-inflammatory and cleansing properties of balsam copaiba. Not just for a pretty-smelling face, lavender soothes stressed-out skin.
Skin rejuvenation: Purify and matte slick summer skin with this hydrating clay mask that calms inflammation as the oat beta glucan increases procollagen production to replenish skin with a soft, fresh layer once dead cells are washed away.
Best enjoyed: On a Saturday morning, while you tend to the rest of your at-home spa duties.
Skin care problem: Dull and drained
The fix: Skinnyskinny Organic Lavender & Eucalyptus Body Scrub ($30), at freshfaced.ca.
Detox ingredients: A brightening, moisturizing blend of turbinado sugar, sea salt, virgin coconut oil, jojoba oil, sesame oil, shea butter, lavender and eucalyptus essential oil—you could almost eat it.
Skin rejuvenation: An aromatic boost to lifeless, dehydrated summer skin, this therapeutic organic scrub gently sloughs away dead skin to naturally bring that natural, deep-seated glow to the surface.
Best enjoyed: Freshly scrubbed and baby soft, indulge skin in a luxe swimsuit while lounging poolside this summer.
