In traditional Chinese medicine, the year is divided into energetic seasons inspired by the 5 elements, each bringing strengths and keys to our daily well-being.
Our laboratory develops natural and organic cosmetic ranges inspired by the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. As the first holistic cosmetic brands, our PHYTO 5 and Ageless La Cure ranges meet the needs of our skin and our inner well-being. According to this philosophy, we have thus created over the years ranges of natural skincare products following the energetic seasons in order to best accompany each of the phases our skin and body may go through throughout the year.
This is the whole objective of our PHYTO 5 5-element range, as we have entered the energetic season of Water (until January 17).
This is the last part of the energetic cycle, which signifies tranquility, rejuvenation, and renewal. It's time to let go of the year that is ending, to allow ourselves a break to welcome a new cycle in which we will have the energy to invest ourselves. As fatigue sets in, the body preserves itself and calms down to save its reserves. In winter, the complexion is dull, the skin is dehydrated, and the hair loses its volume.
The Quantique Water product range offers treatments that support the energetic circulation of water in our body and provide all the essential nutrients for the skin and hair to restore their strength and radiance. Examples include the Phyt’Ether Water Serum with organic essential and vegetable oils, to be applied to the entire face. Or the Day and Night creams that provide continuous hydration and protection for dry skin exposed to the cold.
While our well-being is supported by this skincare routine, it also involves diet, a key step in a holistic approach. During this period, the body needs to receive energy-generating foods and warmth such as nuts, beetroot, turnip, chard, and red cabbage. Cereals and legumes should also be favored as they provide unsaturated fats and slow sugars that will be assimilated slowly but surely to preserve the kidneys and bladder, the organs of water.
Let winter settle in, and you will be nestled in a routine where your body and mind are warm and cozy!
