How I went organic

The discovery...

In May 2019 I watched a Youtube video from a French girl called Marie which channel is SleepingBeauty and It changed everything in my vision of the skincare.

She is my age and like me, she has a Business School background but is very interested in doing good to her body and mental health. So she reads a lot and is constantly looking for information from international certified review or studies in order to cultivate herself, as she has not studied medicine, chemistry or biology... That way, she showed to her subscribers that her content was serious, professional and from trustworthy sources. Therefore, I fully trust her and the information she’s sharing on her channel.

One day I saw one of her videos about a skin care routine she does every day and she talked about a Melvita product “Huile de Jojoba”= Organic Jojoba oil. It is a 100% that hydrates and repairs the body or the face and it has characteristics similar to those of human sebum. This light plant oil with nice scent regulates sebum.

So Marie uses it as a night moisturizer because she has hormonal acne that needs to be regulated.

At first, I was intrigued … telling myself “it is not by greasing more and more your skin that all the sebum will disappear ! “

And that's where I learnt that even when we have an oily skin, and we try everything to make it matt effect, it is essential to moisturize our skin because otherwise it will feel more sensitive and attacked if it is constantly stripped to eradicate the sebum… It must in fact be well fed. It is a vicious circle that the pharmaceutical lobbies and my dermatologist have told teenagers: they sell us products to fight sebum with chemical abrasive creams in order to keep making money. Because if there was a magical cream that was taking away forever teenage acne it will be known. I can’t stand misleading advertising. It is totally my personal point of view and I wanted to share it with you to help you open your eyes on the composition of certain products that are sold in pharmacies.

Once tested, adopted !

So I tested the “Huile de Jojoba“ from Melvita at night during 3 months to be sure to see a real effect … and it worked so good on me!

No more oily skin during the day! Exit the expensive matt effect day cream! I was finally comfortable with my skin but above all, I discovered the power of the organic products and the wellbeing that it feels to give good and simple products to your face, body or hair, with just a few ingredients.

Not to mention the fact that quite often, they are less expensive than Clinique, Bioderma, La roche posay...

Namely that it has a "purge" function so for some people like me, the first effects will be the release of all the spots that should come out one day, then after one or two weeks the sebum will regulate itself and they disappear little by little.

I am so happy and proud of being able to testify and help my friends and you to just take a step back and think about the routine we give to our body.

Thanks to all of this, Melvita won a new and loyal client and thanks to their fabulous products that keep their promises, I started my transition to organic.

N ° 1 organic beauty brand in France in terms of reputation, Melvita is definitely THE qualitative and sustainable organic brand committed to the planet.
