The Art of Feeling

For as long as I can remember I have yearned to be in nature. When I enter a forest I feel as though I have come home. This deep love of nature informs my life and my art practice.

by Tamara Dean

You know my #BeYOUtiful, I am like a bird, you see – or should I say “can you hear?” ?!

& as a free bird, I love to be in nature & if possible apply safe & environment concerned products to my body made also on earth – …I believe.
Clothes and textiles are the #1 source of primary microplastic to the oceans, accounting for 34.8% of the global total – as said by #fashionrevolution. However, I am sure that the beauty industry is contributing to this severe environment issue. As so, I am very happy to see that some beauty companies thinking about this subject & place actions in order to improve our planet & ultimately our health. 

 

Of course, I am talking about the line I ♥ my Planet from YVES ROCHER, remember (click here)?

This line states the love for the self & for the planet through the motto ACT BEAUTIFUL, which fully shares my view. 

ACT BEAUTIFUL is a state of mind in action!

That comprises the action of 1 press = 1 dose = 1 shower & IT IS REALLY ENOUGH FOR ME! The strong amazing smelling embrace us & make us feel as just if we were in nature. The plus? You will be all day feeling that smell & stimulating your brain to act accordingly. Fascinating, right?! Talking about stimulating the brain through the smell, did you know this line of YVES ROCHER really has fruit extracts?!

Here we find an old but at the same time, a new way of feeling ♥ this Concentrated of Nature and its soft envolving texture truly awakens our emotions:

♦ The Concentrate of Mango & Coriander promises vitality for a full day of pleasant tasks. Plus? YES! The essential oil of coriander is said to have anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory properties & others. But, we must pay attention as this can vary from the origin of the oil and also all the product formulation*.

♦ The Concentrate of Bourbon Vanilla makes all of your mornings a sensual moment of re-encounters. Love it?! I Love sweet things! If you do love sweet smells this is for you! For me, this concentrate dries my skin more than the other two & I have to shower very very well! If you don’t have dry skin, it might be fine for you!

♦ The Concentrate of Olive Petitgrain & Bitter Orange really makes my mind fly far….far away from the city & direct me to the enchanted woods. One of the best smells to me! They – IVES ROCHER – promise relaxing moments, well…I do feel relaxed with this gel!

Besides all of the lovely feelings & sensations that it promotes, as most of the body gels to shower it has surfactants – this is used in this industry to make products experience more pleasant while making foam (for example). And so, the KEYWORD here is EQUILIBRIUM, right my #BeYOUtiful!? One of the including surfactants is cocamidopropyl betaine – if in one hand it is very toxic to aquatic life, it might help you if you have acne.**

Well, the keynote stands:

If you ♥ the planet, you ♥ yourself

I hope you loved my view on YVES ROCHER #ILoveMyPlanet! Stay #BeYOUtiful!

Olá #BeYOUties ♥ 
Assim como um pássaro livre eu gosto de estar envolvido pela natureza e usar o que é seguro de usar! Acho que a isso já estão habituados por aqui, certo pessoas lindas?! Além disso, sabem que a verdade é sempre a mais importante e temos de admitir: para termos mais produtos e melhores condições de vida tudo tem de ser produzido. Mas para balançar as coisas, aqui entram alguns factores muitos importante: ética, a segurança do produto e a protecção do ambiente (desculpem-me os outros factores por não os mencionar, não vos estou a desprezar hehe).
Por palavras coloridas, mas sentidas trago a vós - minhas pessoas lindas - a minha experiência com o uso da linha #ILOVEMYPLANET da Yves Rocher e algumas dicas ♥ Mas não se esqueçam, se tiverem algum tipo de lesão na pele ou alergia não se esqueçam de falar com aquele que mais gosta de tratar de vocês - o vosso Médico.
Esta linha apresenta um conjunto de elementos que me fazem duvidar o quão citadino sou: primeiro, são concentrados e só com uma única dose é possível fazer a nosso higiéne matinal; segundo, desde que abrimos a tampa até ao dia findar vamos estar abraçados pelos extratos de frutos que apresentam na sua formulação galénica. O único se não...é que apresenta surfactantes ou os chamados tensioactivos - fantástico recordar as aulas de farmácia galénica da minha Licenciatura em Farmácia ♥ - na sua constituição. Contudo, estes compostos também são necessários (entre outras) para
termos espuma durante a aplicação. A palavra-chave aqui é - EQUILIBRIO - tudo tem a sua medida certa, correcto?!
Espero que tenham gostado e que façam da vossa vida um jogo equilibrado: Relaxem (Gel Duche Concentrado Azeitona & Laranja-amarga), Sensualizem (Gel Duche Concentrado Baunilha Bourbon) e Muita Garra (Gel Duche Concentrado Manga & Coentro) para as vossas vidas e sonhos!
