Your skin is the largest organ in your body, accounting for about an eighth of your total body weight. It has to last you a lifetime so it makes sense to look after it and treat it well, as it is under daily attack from pollution, oxidative stress, weather, toxins and the ageing process.
Natural and organic products are in demand, as what you put on your skin does not simply stay on the surface. Your skin actually absorbs applied products, partially or completely, into the bloodstream. In fact, up to sixty percent of the products we use on our skin are absorbed and deposited into the circulatory system. A survey conducted by the Women’s Environment Network found that eighty-one percent of women may have absorbed as much as 2lbs in weight of toxic chemical ingredients from their lipsticks alone over a lifetime!
There are plenty of makeup brands to choose from if you don’t mind what you might be putting on your skin, though Perfection by Xenca is designed to meet the increasing demands of women who want to enjoy wearing makeup without risking their health.
Perfection is a British brand. Clinically, dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested, the Perfection range of organic makeup is kind to your skin, kind to the environment and cruelty-free. The botanical ingredients are chosen for their therapeutic value and are suitable for sensitive skins. The powder and cream formulations are 100% natural, paraben-free, GMO-free, non-comedogenic and eco-certified.
An important ingredient in all the powder and cream products within the range is organic shea butter, as it is rich in antioxidants. It provides the makeup with skin-softening, moisturising, protective and healing benefits, as well as with natural sun protection. The formulations are so light you really don’t feel you are wearing any makeup at all because they allow your skin to breathe and they look natural.
Xenca likes to carry its environmental responsibility on beyond the product itself. The brochures are produced on eco-friendly paper, using vegetable ink. Even the packaging is environmentally responsible and fully recyclable!
Perfection is not just a makeup. It is more like a fusion of skin care and makeup because of the therapeutic benefits of its botanical ingredients.
