1. our ultimate self-care helpers: face masks
Sunday afternoon, rain, winter, everything gray in gray... the absolute best conditions to take time for yourself, relax and leave everyday life behind for a while. Unfortunately, our days are not always designed for putting our feet up and devoting ourselves to extensive grooming rituals. Often enough, the motto is: "The main thing is to be quick". AM there is little time or we simply don't feel like spending much time in the bathroom. We'd rather sleep longer or have a leisurely breakfast. Yet the minutes we spend applying creams, oils and serums can be a wonderful ritual to not only soothe our skin but also our soul Moisturize. Every now and then, it can be a little more pampering. For those little spa moments at home, you need the right products. Candles, tea, healthy snacks, bath oil and? Face masks! No matter what your week looks like, whether it's packed with appointments and to-dos or lots of free time and social life - a few minutes of care, time out and focus on yourself are really important.
2. what's inside and what do they do?
Hemp oil mask
What is hemp oil?
Most people probably associate hemp more with a little trip into the world of intoxication than with cosmetics. However, the plant has far greater potential and therefore deserves not to be labeled as cannabis or marijuana.
What exactly is hemp oil and what is the difference between CBD and THC?
Hemp oil is obtained from the seeds of the so-called edible hemp (Cannabis sativa), which contains only traces of cannabinoids. CBD oil, on the other hand, is made from the buds, leaves and flowers of the hemp plant. Industrial hemp also contains no THC. THC stands for tetrahydocannabinol, the ingredient responsible for the pain-relieving and intoxicating effect. The oil from hemp seeds can therefore be used in the bathroom without any risk of intoxication.
Hemp oil is produced exclusively on farms that are authorized by the state to grow the special industrial hemp. The hemp seeds are cold-pressed gently for production. This preserves the ingredients much better. Approximately 350 liters of oil can be produced per ton of hemp seeds. After harvesting, washing and drying the seeds, their shells are removed. The oil is then extracted using special oil mills. It is therefore a very valuable oil with an elaborate and complicated harvesting process. The yellow-greenish color comes from the chlorophyll or the carotenoids it contains.
What ingredients does our hemp oil contain?
Hemp seeds contain approx. 30-35% fat. This fat is almost completely separated from the remaining components of the seeds during the pressing process. The remaining seeds usually contain a lot of protein and can be used as animal feed. This means that you can benefit from the hemp plant in several ways.
Hemp oil is particularly characterized by its unique fatty acid composition. The essential fatty acids can be absorbed directly by the human skin and develop their effect. They support the skin's natural protective barrier, prevent the penetration of bacteria and Protect protect it from drying out. Compared to other oils, hemp oil stands out due to its exceptional ratio of unsaturated fatty acids. Alpha-linoleic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid EPA and docosahexaenoic acid DHA belong to the omega-3 fatty acids. Their anti-inflammatory effect is particularly beneficial for skin plagued by psoriasis and neurodermatitis. Omega-6 fatty acids are also essential for skin cell renewal and stimulate cell growth. Reddened and itchy skin irritations can be improved by the antimicrobial effect of stearic acid, for example. Like all oils , hemp oil also provides the antioxidant vitamin E and thus protects us from free radicals. In summary, the valuable ingredients soothe sensitive and irritated skin, allow spots and wounds to heal more quickly and strengthen the resistance of our skin barrier.
Clay mask
Clay is one of the oldest raw materials, which was used thousands of years ago and still takes care of our well-being today. Clay, also known as mineral clay or healing clay, was formed many millions of years ago during the Ice Age. Rock fragments were ground into fine particles by weather conditions in the glacier. This rock dust collected in depressions in the ground and over time was pressed through layers of earth under high pressure. This fine loose rock consists of the mineral components quartz, lime and clay minerals, among others.
After processing, a fine, colored powder remains. The different colors result from the origin. The effect also varies depending on the mining area. All clays contain important trace elements such as iron oxide, silicic acid and silicon. Aluminum, calcium, magnesium and sodium salts as well as manganese compounds and phosphates are also typical components.
White clay, or kaolin, is named after its oldest known location, Gao-Ling in China. It is considered the finest mineral clay and is extremely gentle on the skin. It is therefore particularly suitable for dry and sensitive skin.
How Treat alumina?
The effectiveness of the minerals is versatile. If the clay is applied to the skin in the form of a mask, a suction effect is created. The mineral clay binds fat, sebum and wound secretions, as well as bacteria and adhering substances. This makes it particularly interesting for oily skin . The granular structure removes keratinized skin cells, cleansing the skin of impurities and preventing the formation of pimples. The stimulation of blood circulation accelerates wound healing and refines the skin's appearance. Once again, Mother Nature has a true skincare miracle in store for us.
3. our guide to relaxation
Now that you know what's in our new masks and how it affects your skin Treat, it's time to put it into practice: relaxation! You probably know best what contributes to your personal Zen status. A sauna on a gray day. A relaxing bath (or footbath for those without a bath). Food porn on your plate. Sinking into a good movie or your current favorite book. Selfcare is so much more than just Bodycare. It's a ritual that cares for your skin and caresses your soul. Sounds cheesy? It can be!
We have compared self-care routines in the JUNGLÜCK team and collected them for you as inspiration:
Step 1:
Free the boobs, away with the bra! Put on your joggers or your soft and cozy bathrobe. Put on thick socks - and get cozy!
Step 2:
We all start our self-care routine by washing our face Cleanse. Most of us treat ourselves PM to this special time out, so cleanser is the perfect start to get rid of the day's dirt and dust.
Step 3:
What would Me-Time be without a face mask? Unanimous decision in the team: we don't do things by halves. While our new masks is working its magic on our clean faces, we soak in the bathtub, flick through magazines, watch our favorite series, meditate or let our feet splash around in the footbath.
Step 4:
Despite all the pampering, we still like to be efficient and wash off the mask directly in the shower or in the bath.
Step 5:
Who knows the feeling of getting into a newly made-up bed after a fresh shower? Just the thought of it gives me 100% comfy vibes. That's why I often treat myself to my me-time hour after I've tidied and cleaned the apartment and got the household ready. What could be nicer than relaxing in a fresh and clean apartment?
Your path to relaxation may be slightly different to ours, but it's important that we all take the time to look after ourselves and put the rest of the world on 'pause' for a moment.
