WHITE TEA BALANCING CREAM RRP: £22.00 - 100ML Jorgobé White Tea Balancing Cream is an award-winning and multi-functional cream for all skin types. The cream can be used as a light, absorbent, moisturising day cream, a correcting night cream, as well as an intensive moisture mask. The intelligent formula is designed to regulate skin type, reduce sebum production of oily skin over time, whilst supplying more in-depth moisture to dry skin. The patent-ed palm fruit extract Regu®-Seb helps skin regain its natural balance. Jojoba oil moisturises and protects against drying, while argan- and sesame oil softens and nourishes the skin. Liquorice root, sugar beet and rosemary smooth the skin tone, and white tea protects against premature ageing.
How to Use: • Use as moisturising day cream apply to clean skin every morning. • Use as corrective night cream apply to clean skin every evening before bedtime. • Use as intensive moisture mask as needed - apply an even layer to skin, and leave cream to absorb. • For all usages - massage cream into skin with gentle, circular motions.
SACHAJUAN is driven by the beauty of simplicity. When they launched their range, they felt that haircare was becoming too complex. They wanted to make things easier for their stylists and clients. Since early 2000. They have worked with Swedish scientists to develop the perfect professional products. They let the performance of their products speak for itself and avoid hollow marketing claims. They use only the ingredients they need; nothing more, nothing less. They are honest in their product information, so everyone understands which ingredients they’ve used and why. Their product philosophy combines style with substance, form with
function. Their products help stylists and their clients achieve a personal look in the easiest possible way. Each one is designed to produce an effortless look, enabling a confident, modern and personal twist. Their performance-driven hair care products are straightforward and honest. They have clear and easy-tounderstand benefits and functional ingredients, and are named precisely for what they do or what they are. They tell you why they made a product, how they made it, and how it works. This makes it easy to create beautiful hair every day – and easy to select the right products.
