Spring has finally sprung! But this change in weather can wreak havoc on skin and the arrival of a new season calls for an overhaul not just of the wardrobe but the beauty regime too.
Meaning “earth” in Sanskrit, ila brings purity, energy and balance into everyday life through the creation of their organic hand-blended skincare products. Using the purest ethically-harvested ingredients such as Himalayan salt, wild grown argan oil and Rose Damascene that are blended together to create a range of products that nourish, energise and balance the body and mind.
Traditionally a time for dusting off the physical and emotional cobwebs, the movement from winter to spring is one of the hardest to adjust to. With the body and mind in quiet reflection and hibernation mode, the dramatic change of season and the sudden onset of creativity and productivity that springtime brings about can set both body and mind off-kilter if not managed properly. Many women in particular feel overburdened or out of balance at this time of year, almost as though they are being pulled in two different directions.
During this time of transition, ila believe it is important to remain balanced and uplifted. Enjoy the benefits of ila’s spring time beauty regime, a combination of five luxurious hero products, to leave skin glowing, healthy and flourishing with life, as well as helping to balance the mind and boost energy levels, preparing you for new beginnings and a bright summer ahead.
