Essential seaweed oil

Zuzana, 42, sat down in the chair in March, right after checking her makeup in the car one last time and deciding she would not wear it again until something changed.

She had spent the whole winter in a dry, air conditioned office on Mlynské Nivy, and her skin had not let it go unnoticed. She stopped taking selfies with her colleagues, saying the light was bad, but in truth she was ashamed of the flaky patches on her cheeks and around her nose that no cream could hide. In the mirror she saw a tired face, not herself. When she sat down in my chair, I saw skin that had lost its ability to hold on to moisture, so dehydrated it almost crumbled under my fingers. I reached for the essential seaweed oil from the Hydra Blue line, precisely because she did not need surface level hydration but deep nourishment, something that would give the skin back what it had lost, not just make it shine.

After ten days of home care, she wrote to me that her cheeks had stopped itching. After her second treatment in the salon, her skin was visibly softer, and the rough patches under my fingers were gone. Six weeks later she came in without makeup, just for a coffee after her treatment. She told me that she had finally taken a photo of her face again, without a filter, and had not deleted it.

In the salon, I first applied the oil to thoroughly cleansed skin, gently massaging it in upward circular motions so it had time to absorb before applying the Hydra Blue mask, which works for ten minutes and leaves the skin feeling supple and cool. At home, Zuzana uses the same oil morning and evening, always three to four drops in her palm, gently warmed between her fingers and pressed into the skin rather than rubbed in, so the active ingredients are not dispersed. I recommended she apply it right after cleansing, while her skin is still slightly damp, since the oil locks in better that way and holds moisture throughout the day. Within minutes she can feel her skin firm up and stop feeling tight, and in the morning, under her makeup, she no longer sees the dry patches she used to have to cover with concealer.

Every additional month your skin spends dry and tight is a month that will never come back, a month spent covering up instead of living. Zuzana waited an entire winter before deciding to make a change, and today her only regret is not starting sooner. If you too see tiredness rather than yourself when you look in the mirror, do not wait for another season of hiding. Order Hydra Blue today, or come in for a treatment at our salon on Heydukova 15, I would be glad to examine your skin and recommend exactly what it needs right now.
