None of us expects skincare to become a time-consuming research project with specialized products and routines. We are happy to recommend a simple solution we have used for years.
We’re all familiar with the term “smoothie.” But what exactly is a skin smoothie, and why would anyone need one? The probability that you also need a smoothie is 99%!
PS! You can read more about the anatomy of the skin here.
When you mix fat-soluble and water-based products in your palm, the bioactive components can easily absorb into your skin. Some stay on the surface, while others can penetrate deeper. Fatty acids help to transport fat-soluble compounds, and hydrophilic compounds help to dissolve water-soluble substances.
Smoothies are much more enjoyable, easier, and faster to use than applying products on top of each other! We can promise you that! Try it – everyone who already uses this method sings the praises of the smoothies.
Here are some smoothie combos to get you started. NB! Take a creative approach to smoothie mixing. Depending on your mood, pick your toner, cream, or serum, and choose what your skin needs. Add BB cream or sun powder if you want a glowing effect.
Important! In some situations, we want to ensure that our skin has a solid protective layer, for example, in extreme weather conditions such as winter cold or intense sun, which causes the moisture to evaporate.
In such circumstances, you can still make a smoothie with toner and cream, but as the last layer, apply the product of your choice consisting of fatty acids, natural wax, or both. For example, Arctic Face Cream with beeswax is suitable for the top layer (beeswax protects best, preventing moisture loss like a film layer). Try Sunberry Day Serum with Turmeric – a natural protection against UV radiation, blue light, and other external stressors.
With intense sunlight, applying a toner under your moisturizer is a good idea. It protects against UV exposure while also hydrating. For example, NUDIST is suitable for the face and body. Make sure you have enough water with you before you go sunbathing! Sunburn is most likely to occur with dry skin, as a lack of hydration causes the burn. An after-sun smoothie with a refreshing Lavender Hydrosol and BIO-KLINIK moisturizer will restore evaporated moisture and soothe the skin.
People sometimes ask why we do not make a single, all-in-one product that contains all the substances needed for the skin. The answer is simple yet multifaceted.
Firstly, smoothies make it possible to combine the best products for you. It is more exciting and diverse.
Secondly, you can adjust the oiliness/lightness of your skincare product – if you want a fresher effect, add more toner and less cream, or if you need a heavier product, add more cream and less toner.
Thirdly, with natural products containing minimal ingredients, we can provide you with purer and higher-quality skincare.
We wish to create efficient, heat-treatment-free products free of emulsifiers and strong preservatives. It’s all for the wellness of your skin!
Suppose you don’t want to use creams because of thickeners or emulsifiers. In that case, you can make a smoothie with only toner and oil serum, without emulsifiers. You don’t always have to be afraid of them because we recently replaced many thickeners with local algae from Estonia. It means that your skincare routine has fewer components, ensuring that your skin receives the purest care possible while preserving the environment from overconsumption.
You also support local Estonian small businesses and farmers – the power of nature used in LUMI products comes from them! #supportlocal
