THIS IS WHAT YOUR SKIN NEEDS

Last summer I turned thirty. Ouch, you heard that right and yes, it sometimes still hurts a bit (for example, when the makeup artist asks if you apply eye cream under your eyes daily). I want to keep my still reasonably vital body skin, so after my shower ritual, I like to slather myself with a good dollop of body cream. A cream so thick that you have to run around the room naked for a quarter of an hour before it’s absorbed. Yes, I love it. And my legs even more...

And just when I started to see the bottom of my (until that moment favorite) body cream, I met Isabelle Ulenaers, a successful clinical psychologist who now heads her own skincare label. She made quite a career switch after her little girl faced a well-known skin problem: eczema. Her plan: to create a 100% natural care line with respect for both skin and nature. Look, that’s what I love. Because I prefer to apply something to my skin that is as natural as possible. Nowadays, you never know what’s in the jars, and we are increasingly discovering that skincare is not as natural as claimed. After a lot of magic with various natural ingredients and sniffing essential oils, her second baby was born: SELF.

SELF body care is an explosion of active ingredients and the best natural oils that give your skin only what it needs. Each product is made in such a way that even the most sensitive skin is cleansed, nourished, protected, and improved in a gentle manner. All ingredients have their own specific effects. For example, coconut oil is rich in antioxidants and lauric acid that help improve the skin's resistance. Macadamia promotes skin metabolism and thus has anti-inflammatory and healing properties. The fresh sweet mandarin works regeneratively against wrinkles and cellulite. Look, that’s what we love to hear.

The best part about SELF products is that the cute pink jars look incredibly nice on your bathroom shelf. All creams, body butters, and lotions come in recyclable packaging and have an insane Instagram appeal.

Isabelle promised me that I could have a big dance party in my room with her Fine Delicate Body Cream. I’m already looking forward to tonight. With a glass of wine in my hand #wantfuckdryjanuary.
