Take me back to balance

Holiday! Finally you’ve got some time to wind down; to offload stress and leave daily life behind you. Because with all your To Do’s, you’ve hardly got time to take a breath. That’s why your holiday should be a chance for you to forget your routines, and get rid of stress hormones like cortisol that can weaken your immune system. Just press the reset button and get your balance back in 6 days with our self-care tips that you can use at home or while you’re away.

Day 1: Home SPA

On your “pampering day”, focus entirely on yourself and your body. Take a long, leisurely bath. Exfoliate to remove old skin cells and boost your skin’s regeneration. To do that, you could try out our FRESH scrub. Made with natural exfoliating grains from loofah, bamboo and pomegranate seeds, FRESH scrub contains no microplastic, and will leave your face and body feeling pleasantly smooth. Afterwards, make sure your body is adequately moisturised. With high-quality plant oils from aloe vera fresh plant juice and magnolia bark extract, our FRESH body milk grooms your skin and makes it supple. After exfoliation, your sensitive facial skin will love 2–3 pumps of a soothing tonic. FRESH tonic calm has a harmonising effect and promotes your skin’s natural pH balance. To moisturise afterwards, first apply FRESH hydro serum and then a FRESH cream –  either light (oily), medium (combination) or rich (dry) – depending on your skin type. With all this body care, you’ll feel completely at home in your skin. In the evening, our FRESH overnight treatments for face & body give you an extra vitamin boost overnight.

Day 2: Restore your balance

Standing on one leg and keeping your balance isn’t easy – and the same goes for your body. Stress and an unbalanced diet can make your body’s acid and alkali levels go out of kilter. So that you can restore your inner balance, try a feel-good treatment with PACK balancing. Diluted with water, our once-a-day veg-to-go shake helps to balance out the body’s acids and alkalis.

Day 3: Get out in the sun

Whether you’re at home on your balcony, in the garden, at the pool or on the beach – feeling the warm sun on your skin will help you relax. We recommend that you spend the entire day in your favourite spot, watch the clouds floating by, or take a refreshing dip. But make sure that your perfect holiday also includes sun protection. We suggest our waterproof FRESH sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) 25. Perfect for anybody who wants to avoid synthetic UV filters.

Day 4: A power workout day

Finding it hard to sit still today? Then make this your power workout day! Because movement helps you to relax. Decide whether you want to do it indoors our outdoors, endurance or muscle training. If you’re out and about, you can integrate a park bench or two to take in a couple of press-ups. And one really important point: don’t forget to drink. We’d recommend an isotonic solution that will give your body some extra support during physical exertion. With one sachet of SPORT boost mixed with 600 ml water, you can simply mix up your own carbohydrate-electrolyte solution. And your sport drink will stay cold for up to 24 hours in your thermos stainless steel SPORT BlenderBottle®Radian.

Day 5: Me-time with stretching & yoga 

Today is Day 5 of your self-care holiday week and you feel like your balance is almost completely restored. So today, you’re going to combat any slight but noticeable muscle tension with yoga and stretching exercises. For stubborn tension, a self-massage with a cooling gel or warming lotion works wonders. Oils like mint menthol provide a pleasantly cooling and relaxing effect.

Day 6: Relaxation day

Today, we’d recommend a really good lie-in and plenty of relaxing. Start your day with a late breakfast and enjoy simply doing nothing. Plan an early night, so that you can start your next working week fully motivated. Our vegan deceleration drink RINGANAisi helps you to unwind in the evenings in an entirely natural way. The lemon balm leaf extract it contains promotes good, restful sleep. And so… good night!
