Dr.Hauschka Med PRESS INFORMATION Take a holiday at home – with Dr.Hauschka face masks Bad Boll/Eckwälden, 9 February 2016/is – An oasis of calm, time to take a deep breath and leave all cares behind, sensual moments for ourselves or for enjoying nature. When we grant our body and spirit a holiday from the everyday, it can take any of these enjoyable forms. We want to make the feeling of relaxation last as long as possible. So it's worth taking the time for a short break at home as well. The Dr.Hauschka face masks not only pamper sunburned or stressed skin, but also provide us with a moment for ourselves – to relax and gain a sense of perspective and rejuvenation. Twenty minutes are enough for a short but luxurious break. "Do nothing," recommends Susan West Kurz, author and former Managing Director of Dr.Hauschka Skin Care Inc. (USA). Whether before or after your holidays, each of the Dr.Hauschka masks gives the face the intensive care it needs. They harness the power of nature to promote the skin’s natural activity and fortify it over time. Firms and refines The regenerative and moisture-retaining properties of the Dr.Hauschka Rejuvenating Mask make it suitable for all skin conditions. The Rejuvenating Mask also provides intensive care for sun-stressed skin and broken capillaries (couperose). It soothes the skin and regulates its natural moisture balance. The composition of quince, kidney vetch and chamomile stimulates the skin’s natural activity and helps it to retain moisture. Because its natural activity can be weakened by too much sun or wind. Dr.Hauschka Skin Care reactivates these capabilities. It reinforces the skin’s healthy, natural processes and rhythms, protecting it from external influences.

This results in a smooth, firm complexion with an even appearance and texture. Soothes and relaxes No time – how often have we heard these two words? But it is precisely when life starts moving too fast that we should enjoy a break, gain a new perspective and restore our energy. After all, our skin often shows the stress and turmoil of our lives – it is the mirror of our inner self. So it's worth taking the time for a short care ritual with Dr.Hauschka Soothing Mask. It helps sensitive skin that is prone to reddening to restore its natural balance. With its moisture-balancing properties, it provides soothing, relaxing intensive care for irritated skin. Its premium ingredients alleviate redness and irritations. The combination of lady’s mantle, borage, buckwheat and mullein soothes and strengthens the skin, while quince seed extract and witch hazel water help to retain its moisture. Kidney vetch has a harmonising effect on reddened and irritated skin, and rich botanical oils of macadamia, coconut and shea butter provide especially intensive care. Smooths and fortifies Dr.Hauschka Firming Mask is just right for people with demanding skin as well as those who would simply like to enjoy a little luxury at home. It fortifies and revitalises mature facial skin that has become prone to dryness and lost some of its capacity for regeneration. But it can also be a pick-me-up for tired, dehydrated skin, restoring its tone and elasticity after too much sun or stress. With its silky, creamy consistency, the mask is absorbed quickly, leaving the skin feeling pleasantly smooth and invigorated. The composition contains selected herbal extracts of roses, pansies and marshmallow, which combine with botanical oils to provide optimal care for the skin and help it return to a harmonious balance. The complexion becomes soft and supple once again. The mask is left on for 20 minutes – ideal for relaxing and tuning out the world.

Containing a selection of botanical oils, waxes and quince seed extracts, it protects and moisturizes the skin and suffuses it with a feeling of well-being. It stimulates the skin's structuring and regenerating functions while fortifying its boundaries and encouraging its renewal. Almond oil alleviates itching, hydrates and soothes; olive oil harmonises and warms. Quickly absorbed and rich in vitamins, avocado oil supports and revitalises the skin. Jojoba oil stabilises the hydrolipid layer and protects the skin against the elements. Enhancing this creamy base, extracts of quince seeds soothe, smooth and prevent moisture loss. The Moisturizing Mask's composition is rounded off by waxes, such as rose wax and beeswax, which protect the skin while allowing it to breathe. Dr.Hauschka Moisturizing Mask is ideal as a periodic intensive treatment, but can also be used to supplement the daily skin care regimen. It is available from Dr.Hauschka Estheticians as well as in select department stores. "Do nothing" is the recommendation of author Susan West Kurz in her book Awakening Beauty the Dr.Hauschka Way. "If possible, set aside at least 20 minutes every weekend to do nothing. Just feel your feelings, experience your rhythms, and feel the beautiful rest that comes over you when you have nothing at all to do." Twenty minutes are also the ideal amount of time to let one of the Dr.Hauschka face masks work its magic. A short skin-care ritual can be a perfect way to make these 20 minutes a period of conscious enjoyment – a little everyday luxury for the body and spirit, allowing us to return to our centre and restore our strength.
