Body Recon - Post-Cleanse Skin Conditioner

Star Ingredients:

Green Tea: Antioxidant, antibacterial. Rich in flavonoids including polyphenols EGCG, tannic acid, vitamins C, E, and carotenoids. Helps protect against free radicals that attack skin cells and interfere with collagen and elastin production. 

 

Vegan Squalane: Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, soothing. Squalane is produced naturally by the skin. This plant-derived squalane is biocompatible with your skin and is easily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Squalane helps the skin protect itself against UV damage and its anti-inflammatory properties help ease the effects of sunburns.

 

Jojoba: Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing. Jojoba is believed to mimic the natural oils of your skin. It helps prevent TEWL by strengthening the protective barrier layer of your skin.

Use in your mindfulness rituals to recondition your skin and replenish its natural lubrication. Start by taking a moment to breathe in the inspiring aroma of Body Recon. Pay attention to all of your senses as you apply the velvety oil to your skin. Massage your body and let the power of touch stimulate circulation and blood flow to nourish your skin cells. Breathe in and relax your body. Breathe out and calm you mind. Repeat, and let all your stress slip away.

 

Your skin follows a circadian rhythm that influences biological functions such as cell renewal, DNA repair, barrier protection and moisture loss. Recent studies show that the highest sebum production happen in the mornings and the highest TEWL (moisture loss) happens in the afternoons, evenings and at night.  

 

Use Body Recon post-cleanse as an everyday body moisturizer. Apply while your skin is still damp for ease of spreadability and dilution - a little goes a long way.  It may be used day and night to work with your body's chronobiology:

 

Morning: start your day with a shower / bath to address the increased sebum your body produces in the morning. Unfortunately, cleansers don't just wash away sebum and dirt, they also strip your skin of essential lipids. Use  Body Recon to replenish protective lipids and keep your skin lubricated throughout the day. 

Night: use in the evenings or before bed when your skin is at its driest, especially on areas where skin is thin and more susceptible to dehydration.

 

Conduct a patch test to check for sensitivities. If you are pregnant, nursing or planning on becoming pregnant, always consult with your doctor before trying any new products.
