Now the whole world returns to a natural way of life. And it’s not surprising, that all leading cosmetic manufacturers certainly include vegetable extracts and oils in their creams’ compositions. Leading experts on thalassotherapy keep on inventing new programs, using various plants and minerals. Other thing is surprising: if one looks closely, he’ll see that at the heart of this beauty industry of many millions lie nothing but good old recipes, secrets of hereditary herbals and folk doctors. Moreover, a modern attitude towards one’s beauty care (SPA-philosophy as a complex approach to inner and outward human condition, a theory of biorhythms and physiological types) – all this is based right on ancient rituals and traditional concepts about human body.
We pay a special attention to our way of life and inner senses. And receipts remain the same, we use the same plants, which have been keeping beauty of women for many thousands of years. Fruit extracts, flower essential oils, concentrated medicinal roots, crushed spices – the entire culinary-cosmetic alchemy came to us from ancient days. And now it’s quite time to use it in our purposes – with its help we can recreate almost all the procedures of a SPA-salon at home. And if other people suspect us in our addiction to magic or attempts to learn a super-exotic cuisine, we’ll answer them bravely that taking care of one’s appearance includes both these factors, however, this is an art, above all. So, arm yourself with a mixer and cook your own elixir of everlasting youth!
