2020 will be beauty or it will not be! After this end of the year rich in events and festivities, we approach January with a desire for sweetness and calm. A bit like setting the counters to zero, to recharge the batteries, cocoon and hibernate to attack this year in the best possible way. We reassure you:here, no good resolutions, because for us, it's all year round. Above all, it is important, even essential, to always have fun, without feeling guilty, and to do good.
To start 2020, find 3 articles in the form of episodes to fill up on inspirations and detox desires with food, lifestyle or even beauty.
Departure for episode #2 with a perfect skin program!
It is often said that the skin is a reflection of what is happening inside our body. A stressful way of life, a diet that is too rich, small excesses of alcohol very often show through on our skin:dull complexion, irregularities, imperfections, redness... This is why the secret of beautiful skin (and beautiful hair) is above all a balanced, healthy way of life (where we still have fun!). Drinking plenty of water, having a varied diet rich in fruits and vegetables (organic and seasonal), regular sports activity or 30 minutes of walking a day, practicing meditation for a few minutes a day are all actions that promote beautiful complexion and velvety skin.
We can give our skin a boost by promoting certain foods (see detox episode #1 right here) or certain healthy and natural food supplement cures. For superb skin in less than a month, head for the Atelier Nubio duo with "We want... rose petal skin" (ideal for sensitive and reactive skin, skin with imperfections linked to occasional hormonal variations - female cycle, stopping the pill - or even skin that has suffered from an unsuitable care routine, insufficient sun protection or cleansing, this supplement purifies, balances and visibly softens the skin) and "We want. .. a doll's complexion" (this essential treatment in powder form boosts the natural production of collagen and strengthens the skin's resistance).
The beauty of the skin also depends on the care you apply. At NUOO, we determine 2 essential and unavoidable gestures:
- triple cleaning
- beauty oil
Triple cleansing is THE essential step and THE secret to beautiful skin. Every evening, even if you are not wearing makeup, it is important to remove makeup and cleanse your skin, before finishing with a touch of hydration. At NUOO, we favor cleansing oils and balms, which are both gentle and made up of fatty substances. However, to eliminate fat (toxins, impurities, traces of pollution, sebum...) nothing better... than fat. We choose a light make-up remover oil that is applied to the skin by circular massages, without forgetting the eyes and the neck (for the look, you can remove the make-up with a washable cotton ball). Then comes the cleaning stage:for this, choose a gentle gel cleanser or a cold saponified soap. It will dissolve the make-up remover oil and all the residues to clear the way before the application of the care. Finally, we move on to the hydration stage with a tonic water that will dissolve the limestone and perfect the cleaning of the skin.

2. beauty oil
Beauty oil is one of our favorite secrets because of its many virtues. First, it is light, fluid and quickly penetrates the skin. Thanks to its concentration of active ingredients, it maintains skin hydration by restoring the hydrolipidic film. It protects, softens, softens and plumps all skin types. Rich in unsaturated fatty acids, it penetrates the epidermis well while preventing premature aging. For a glowy and radiant effect, apply it to the skin still moistened with the tonic lotion. We warm the oil well between our hands and we apply it by circular massages on the face, the neck and the décolleté. The ideal? Practice self-massage with the pulp of your fingers, your palms and a massage accessory such as a gemstone roll-on or a Gua Sha.

Enriched with vitamin E, this face oil is concentrated in active ingredients extracted from rose hips:it contains 2 times more regenerating sterols and 5 times more carotenoids than a classic oil.
Self-massage of the face is to take a beauty break, like a ritual, for a few minutes, every day. It can be done with the hands or the pulp of the fingers, or with the help of precious accessories such as massage roll-ons or Gua Sha in precious stones. The idea? Take advantage of the softness of these, while benefiting from the soothing and energizing virtues of stones such as pink quartz, aventurine, crystal quartz or even amethyst. Massaging your skin every day has multiple effects. First of all, it helps to tone the oval of the face, relax the muscles of the skin while releasing tension. Toning also means preventing the effects of time on our skin:massaging stimulates collagen, firms and fights against the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Massaging the face also has a real beneficial effect on fatigue. These gentle gestures reactivate blood micro-circulation, eliminate puffiness, dark circles and visible signs of fatigue. The precious stone roll-on tightens the pores of the skin thanks to its freshness, smoothes the skin and plumps it up immediately. The skin, day after day, is visibly brighter, refreshed and radiant. A trick is to keep your roll-on in the fridge for even more freshness and a boost of radiance when you wake up!

Hydration is an essential gesture for a fresh and rested complexion. To optimize your detox beauty program, choose an ultra-hydrating mask that you apply twice a week for 15 to 30 minutes, or even overnight instead of your night cream. It will load the skin with hydration and bring it comfort and softness.
