Joining our classic shave care trio of Aloe Vera, Sea Buckthorn, and Sandalwood say hello to: Grapefruit & Mint. Combining zingy grapefruit with refreshing mint oil, the fragrance finely balances tart notes of black pepper, cedar wood, and vetiver for an uplifting shave experience. The perfect invigorating start to any day, see below as we explore the range and all its many skin care benefits!
Superpower #1: Hydrating and Toning
More than just aromatic and refreshing, mint leaves are also packed full of nutrients that make them ideal for maintaining healthy, hydrated skin. Naturally cleansing and mildly astringent, the strong antibacterial properties of mint leaves help to clear pores and remove any remaining dead cells from the skin. Leaving skin clear and smooth, the fresh extract also helps your skin retain moisture by tightening pores and sealing in hydration.
Did you know? All varieties of the mint plant produce a chemical called menthol that binds to the protein TRPM8. When this protein meets your skin, it activates the same receptor on nerve endings that are involved in sensing cold!
Superpower #2: Brightening
Combatting UV damage, mint leaf extract is fantastic for transforming dull complexions, lightening the skin to leave it flawless and glowing. Complemented by grapefruit, the extract features Lycopene to help reduce inflammation and redness and Beta Carotene to improve overall skin tone.
Did you know? As well as being an amazing ingredient in your skincare, grapefruit also possesses wonderful mood-brightening properties. Boosting energy and alertness, citrus fragrances can be beneficial not only to the appearance of your skin but also to your overall well-being.
Superpower #3: Anti-Ageing
Rich in Vitamin A, grapefruit is a wonderful anti-ageing ingredient. Helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by softening the skin and boosting collagen production, the extract is packed with antioxidants to help combat free radicals and premature skin ageing. Also abundant in antioxidants, mint leaves help to diminish dark circles under the eyes as well as improve the blood circulation to your skin.
