The active regimen for firm skin – with lemon body care products from Dr.Hauschka Skin Care in practical special sizes

When the warmth of the sun finally returns in the springtime, the skin is grateful to receive special care. So as of now, three refreshing Dr.Hauschka lemon body care products are available in stores in handy, limited-edition 30-ml sizes – ideal for trying out, giving as gifts, or just to give yourself and your skin an invigorating boost. And for additional support the lemon body care products come with a free brochure outlining an active programme for firmer skin.

Dr.Hauschka Skin Care’s Lemon Bath, Lemon Lemongrass Body Oil and Lemon Body Moisturizer welcome the summer into the bathroom. The wonderfully fresh fragrance of sun-ripened lemons activates and invigorates the senses. For this reason, Dr.Hauschka Skin Care has put together an active regimen for firm skin, consisting of the three lemon body care products and a comprehensive brochure. Helpful tips and a separate skin care plan can be found in the brochure, which comes free of charge with the three lemon body care products.

The beneficial compositions of Lemon Bath, Lemon Lemongrass Body Oil and Lemon Body Moisturizer from Dr.Hauschka Skin Care complement each other to care for the skin every day. Lemon Bath increases the tone of the connective tissue, stimulates the skin’s functions and firms skin that is prone to cellulite. In conjunction with a balanced diet and regular physical exercise, targeted daily massages of the affected areas with Lemon Lemongrass Body Oil after showering can strengthen the connective tissue. The easily absorbed Lemon Body Moisturizer activates and firms the skin all over the rest of the body. Its fragrance is wonderfully invigorating.

The Dr.Hauschka care plan for firm skin

Regular contrast showers – with Dr.Hauschka Lemon Bath
A contrast shower (alternating hot and cold water) every morning stimulates the circulation. A massage in the shower once a week with refreshing Dr.Hauschka Lemon Bath can have a further firming effect on the skin. This counteracts weak connective tissue and stimulates the skin’s natural functions. The essential lemon oil of the Lemon Bath stimulates the entire body, giving it a new sense of well-being. A source of invigorating freshness – for body, mind and spirit.

Tip: Simply place a small amount of Dr.Hauschka Lemon Bath onto a moistened bath mitt (made of wild silk, for example) and use it to massage affected areas while showering.

Targeted daily massages – with Lemon Lemongrass Body Oil
In order to have a lasting firming effect on the connective tissue, it is important to stimulate the circulation in the areas affected by cellulite. Massages with Dr.Hauschka’s fruity, refreshing Lemon Lemongrass Body Oil can help. This composition of jojoba oil, lemon peel, mistletoe, horsetail and lemongrass firms the skin and strengthens the connective tissue.

Tip: Detailed instructions for massaging areas affected by cellulite can be found in our brochure entitled “My regimen for firm skin”. It can be ordered free of charge by phoning Dr.Hauschka Customer Service at +49 (0) 7164 930-181 from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The brochure can also be downloaded online at www.dr.hauschka.de/english/service/download-brochures/.

Activating care – with Dr.Hauschka Lemon Body Moisturizer
Used in combination with regular exercise and a healthy diet, Dr.Hauschka Lemon Body Moisturizer provides complementary care that helps keep the skin from losing its natural balance. Lovingly prepared extracts of sage and sloe berries activate and firm the skin. The scent of sun-ripened lemons is wonderfully invigorating. The easily absorbed moisturising lotion contains olive and jojoba oils and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth, never greasy.

2. What part does the WALA medicinal herb garden play in the company?

The garden is the primary cultivation site for many of the medicinal plants needed for WALA Medicines and Dr.Hauschka Skin Care. Our most important task is to guarantee delivery of the quantities and quality required on schedule. Guided tours of the garden are offered all year round for groups of visitors and conference participants, and of course for WALA employees. Guests frequently tell me how important the visit to the WALA medicinal herb garden has been to them.

3. How does working in a medicinal herb garden differ from working in other gardens? What is special about it?

There are a number of careers in horticulture that you can train for: for example landscape gardening, ornamental plant cultivation or vegetable growing. Medicinal plant gardener is not a designated career path, but you can learn how to become one by working here in the WALA garden. The range of our plants includes annuals, biennials and perennials, as well as plants usually counted as weeds, such as couch grass, and at the opposite end of the spectrum the hybrid tea rose. We grow birches and oaks, passion flowers, hybrid tea roses and calendula and around 150 other medicinal plants. The crucial thing is that we WALA gardeners strive to achieve the best possible quality for our medicinal plants. This striving for quality applies to all our work in the WALA medicinal herb garden: it starts with improving soil fertility, producing and using various biodynamic preparations, includes bee-keeping, design and upkeep of garden areas and of course takes in the harvesting of the medicinal plants.
