Skin: Our Thoughts

SENSIBLE SKIN SOLUTIONS

Despite science's remarkable advances and beauty industry 'claims' in health and skin care, we believe that well-being and external beauty are ultimately a result of a healthy diet, moderate exercise and consistent attention to, and protection of, the skin. Aesop has consciously used customer feedback as a mechanism towards meaningful product development, rather than employing an engineered strategy in the way of mainstream beauty companies.

Our approach to skin health and well-being is based on a regime of thorough cleansing, strategic hydrating and respect for the skin's own life cycle. Skin has a predetermined resilience that relates to hormonal and genetic factors. Diet, climate and environment are external factors that play havoc with the skin, and must always be considered when making your product choice.

The first positive step to fabulous skin is to choose products composed to work with your skin. Skin and plants have a great deal in common, by virtue of their similar chemical composition, so plant by-products have a wonderful physiological affinity with skin. We believe that for most healthy persons, only three products are required to maintain total facial equilibrium:

All Aesop skin care products are designed for use from forehead to cleavage. Some Aesop preparations contain very few preservatives and for this reason we ask you to ensure clean hands are used when dipping into jars. Product not being used within three months of opening should be stored in the refrigerator.
