We know we know, the last thing you want to do is put on heavy cream these days. It’s time to tweak your skincare routine to help you cool down — with everything from facial mist to belly sheet mask to eye roller serum, these cooling beauty products will help you beat the heat! UpCircle Beauty Hyaluronic Acid + Mandarin Water + Chamomile Face Toner This uplifting, fresh citrus-scented face toner will help your skin look glowy and plump. Made with upcycled green mandarin fruit water, and chamomile stem extract, it’s anti-inflammatory (best for acne-prone type) whilst soothing and nourishing your skin. Yes, a cup of chamomile tea for the skin please. Woods_Copenhagen 24-Hour Hydra Facial Gel Moisturizer Replace your day cream with this cooling face gel moisturizer and you won’t regret it. As soon as you open it, you will know what Scandinavia smells like. Not only does it provide any skin type (even sensitive skin types) with an instant moisture for 24 hours, it also transforms your skincare rituals into a balancing and enjoyable moment for yourself. Evolve Organic Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Eye Complex This eye serum roller has been one of our bestsellers of all time, and I am not surprised. Infused with hyaluronic acid, cucumber extract and tuberose plant cells, it has a powerful 3-in-1 solution to reduce dark circles, wrinkles and eye puffiness. It’s so compact and easy to carry around, or you can leave it on your work desk — just reach over whenever your eyes feel tired from a computer. Woods Copenhagen Niacinamide Lifting Face Mist Another compact option: take this Vitamin B3 spray with you wherever you go and use it as a therapeutic pick-me-up for hydration and refreshment.⁠ It evens out your skin tone (brightening) and strengthens the moisture barrier (hydrating). The organic aloe vera and cucumber extract add a fresh scent and a cooling feel to every drizzle. SoKind Nourishing Belly Sheet Masks Dear Mom-To-Be: this is a belly facial dedicated to you. The concentrated serum (a blend of cucumber, aloe vera and bisabolol) in this mask instantly reliefs your itchy and dry skin, leaving your belly skin feeling hydrated and relaxed.⁠ The best gift option for any new moms. Earth To You London Organic Rose Water Facial Mist (30% Off) This Rose Water Mist is a game-changer for your teenage/adult acne.

It also increases the water content of skin, making it a deeply hydrating moisturizer without the greasy impact of heavy creams, and it smells amazing like fresh petals.

… And our recommended natural beauty products to prevent blackheads⁠.⁠ MYTH 1: All those dots on my T-Zone are blackheads. Chance are you don’t have blackheads but oil glands (sebaceous glands). These oil glands supply pores with oil, and yes everyone has them.⁠ The oil produced from these oil glands are sebum. They keep oil flowing, so your skin can maintain its natural moisture. Yet, the excess oil builds up along with dead skin cells, dirt and bacteria would clog the skin and turn sebaceous filaments into blackheads and pimples. MYTH 2: If I just scrub more often, they’ll be cleared out. ⁠ If you have oily or acne-prone skin, rough scrubs can make acne more inflamed. To get the best results, choose scrubs/exfoliators that are made of natural gentle acids like glycolic, lactic and salicylic acid. They work to remove dead skin cell and dissolve oil. MYTH 3: Blackheads are caused by too much oil. ​Yes and no, the cause of blackhead is a combination of excess oil with dead skin cells and dirt. People who have oily skin are more vulnerable to blackheads and acne — still anyone can get them. I can’t stress enough that removing dead skin cell is so essential in a skincare routine, and exfoliating is a critical step to slough away dead skin cells. ⁠ MYTH 4: Junk food causes blackheads. Yes and no, frequently eating unhealthy fast food and high-sugar desserts can mess with your hormones. Hormones play a huge role and lead to the production of too much sebum, impacting the formation of blackheads. In fact, some positive foods can be anti-acne, and fiber seems to help reduce acne. Try apples, carrots and oatmeal. MYTH 5: Wearing makeup will clog pores. Not all beauty products will trigger the formation of a comedone. Opt for sheer, water-based, non-comedogenic and fragrance-free cosmetics or foundation may help you avoid potential breakouts.⁠ Here are some of the pore-clogging ingredients you should avoid: lanolin, carrageenan, sodium laureth sulfate, palm oil, coconut oil and wheat germ.

Introduce skincare products gradually to teens’ skin. You’d want to keep irritants/allergies at bay and maintain their beautiful skin.⁠ See the 5 fundamental yet affordable natural skincare products that a teen needs in their routine: DOUBLE CLEANSING: MAKEUP REMOVER + FOAMING CLEANSE Remove your makeup and dirt by using Skin Sapiens’ gentle Oil-To-Milk Face Cleanser, and follow up with their Foaming Gel Cleanser with Oat. Oat is one of the best-known ingredients for sensitive skin type. Not only does it help hydrate and nourish skin, it also reduces skin irritation and redness. RECOMMENDATION: Choose a gentle and low-pH gel face wash (meaning pH 6.5 and under) that doesn’t dry out your skin.⁠ ALCOHOL-FREE TONING: High alcohol toner is very harsh/harmful to teenage skin. The aim of toning here is to purify and soften skin without stripping its natural moisture. It helps prepare your skin for the next step of hydration and serum treatment. RECOMMENDATION: Choose a gentle and low-pH toner to balance your skin and keep the acne away. Look for ones that contain natural BHA Salicylic acid. Try UpCircle’s Soothing Face Toner with Hyaluronic Acid, Mandarin Water and Chamomile extract. ZINC PCA TO TREAT ACNE: Zinc-PCA (zinc salt) is the stress-free ingredient that has been hailed as a miracle cure for blemishes. It effectively reduces blemish-causing oiliness whilst increasing water content (hydration) in the uppermost layers of skin. RECOMMENDATION: Use Skin Sapiens’ lightweight Mattify Face Serum with Zinc PCA to clear acne. It also helps relieve irritation and reduce the appearance of acne scars. The cooling cucumber extract makes this the best choice for the summer! HYDRATING MOISTURIZER For such a hot and humid weather, the last thing you’d want to use is a heavy face cream, and thank God — there is a gel cream. A gel cream is thinner and more lightweight than any face cream, yet offers the best of both hydration and skin refreshment. Remember, having oily skin doesn’t mean your skin is hydrated, so you shouldn’t skip a moisturizer in your skincare routine — you just need to choose the right one that suits your skin type. RECOMMENDATION: My new favorite is Woods Copenhagen’s 24-Hour Hydra Gel. This unisex gel cream is so hydrating and absorbs into your skin immediately. The scent of Scandinavian botanicals is uplifting. What’s better: you can share it with your partner. SUNSCREEN, SUNSCREEN, SUNSCREEN Sorry, but those makeups that have an SPF are no substitute for a proper sunscreen. Get a dedicated broad-spectrum sunscreen for your face and body. Wear it every day no matter what. It helps protect you from skin cancer and slow down the skin’s aging process, a.k.a. anti-aging. RECOMMENDATION: Planning a junk boat party? MIMITIKA’S Sun Essentials is trio of travel-sized sunscreens features a mousse-like face sunscreen SPF 50, a milky body spray of SPF 30 that smells like a banana shake, and a watermelon-scented after-sun body lotion with aloe vera and coconut oil.

The Organic Store is featured by Expat Living Magazine’s as part of the latest beauty news in Hong Kong! Here at EL, we’ve already tried out the Vegan Manicure Duo, by vegan nail polish brand Kia Charlotta. We loved both the nail polish and the natural polish remover that come in the set; they were effective and nice to use, and the remover had a much nicer smell – infused with eucalyptus and lemongrass – than traditional ‘chemical’ versions. We also liked the fact that the nail varnish comes in a small size (5ml), as larger sized nail varnishes tend to dry up and get chucked away! See full article: expatliving.hk/beauty-news-the-latest-products-and-treatments-in-hong-kong How Did The Organic Store Find Kia Charlotta? We wanted a nail polish that is durable, fashionable and dries fast, but we also want to put the least amount of toxic ingredients on our body.⁠ Conventional alternatives were 5-free, 7-free or 9-free. Luckily we found Kia Charlotta’s 15 free nail polish from Munich, Germany. The number of 15 indicates the amount of aggressive, harmful ingredients that WERE NOT included in the formula of nail polish.⁠ ⁠ With their low waste philosophy, 5ml is the right amount that you are going to use and do not end up throwing them away.⁠ 100% Vegan & cruelty-free certified ⁠ 100% plant based⁠ Micro-plastics free⁠ 15 Free⁠ Safe for pregnant women and kids 我們如何找到Kia Charlotta？ 我們想要耐用、時尚並且快乾的指甲油，但亦希望將指甲油的有毒成分盡量減到最少。現時常見相對健康的新產品係5-FREE，7-FREE或9-FREE。⁠ ⁠ 我們好幸運地發現了來自德國的小眾品牌 Kia Charlotta 的15-FREE指甲油。15數字代表，指甲油配方中沒有包含的侵蝕性有害成分的數量。憑藉 Kia Charlotta 的零浪費理念，這5毫升指甲油亦不會過量生產而造成浪費。⁠ 100％純素和零殘忍認證⁠ 100％基於植物成分 無微塑料 15 Free⁠ 兒童和孕婦可安全使用
