4-Step Skin Rescue Kit

This past year has been like no other, and doesn’t our skin know it?
Face2 1

Regular use of masks means faces are confined to an unhealthy environment: warm & moist, with a lack of air circulation, which compromises the skin barrier and allows bacteria to thrive.

And in the absence of real-world social interactions, we are now exposed to unprecedented levels of blue-light as a result of increased screen time.

We’re all feeling the strain in one way or another, and internal stresses as well as environmental aggressors can cause havoc with our skin, leading to breakouts & inflammation.

So, ditch the PPE and take a slow, deep breath…

Our no-fuss 4-Step Skin Rescue Kit brings together some gentle & effective formulations to cleanse, soothe, heal & protect, while supporting the skin’s precious microbiome.

1 Cleanse

Regular use of face masks means our skin is exposed to an unhealthy environment: warm & moist, with a lack of air circulation. This humidity can exacerbate skin problems, slowing cell turnover, clogging pores, compromising the skin barrier and allowing bacteria to thrive.

Gently does it

More than ever we need to efficiently remove dirt, sweat, oil & micro-organisms from the surface of the skin.
