Order of use and directions

1. Foaming shower gel: wet the skin and dispense a small amount of gel into the palm.
2. On contact with water, the gel transforms into a rich foam that should be spread gently over the body and rinsed thoroughly.
3. Shower oil: apply a small amount to damp skin instead of the foam, particularly when a richer and more nourishing feel is desired.
4. Massage the oil until it forms a silky emulsion or light foam, then rinse thoroughly.
5. The foam and oil do not need to be used together during every shower – they may be alternated according to the condition of the skin and personal preference.
6. Body cream: gently pat the skin dry with a towel and apply the cream to clean, dry or slightly damp skin.
7. Massage the cream using circular movements, paying particular attention to dry areas such as the lower legs, elbows and knees.
8. Hair and body mist: spray a small amount onto the skin or over the lengths and ends of the hair from a suitable distance.
9. Do not spray the mist directly towards the face or eyes.
10. When applying to textiles, first test on a small and inconspicuous area.

Pharmacist’s advice

Consider the shower foam and shower oil as two different cleansing options rather than mandatory consecutive steps. The foam is suitable for people who enjoy a rich texture, while the oil may feel more comfortable on dry skin or skin prone to tightness.

Only a small amount of product is required for showering. Using too much foam or oil does not cleanse the skin better and only increases consumption and contact with fragrance ingredients.

Apply the body cream immediately after showering while the skin is still slightly damp. This helps reduce water loss from the skin’s surface and prolongs the feeling of softness.

Use the fragrance mist as the final step after the cream has absorbed. The mist is a light fragrance product and is not a substitute for body cream, lotion, deodorant or anti-perspirant.

For very sensitive or reactive skin, do not use all four products for the first time on the same day. Introduce them individually so that any intolerance can be identified more easily.

People with active eczema, atopic dermatitis or a confirmed fragrance allergy may tolerate fragranced products poorly, even when the fragrance mist is alcohol-free. In these cases, fragrance-free emollient care should be prioritised.

If persistent itching, redness, cracking, oozing or scaling occurs, fragranced cosmetics are not the solution. The cause should first be identified and appropriate targeted dermatological care selected.
