Brazilian Samba for your Skin from Beleza do Brasil
Beleza do Brasil – Vitality boost for your Skin.
The beauty of Brazilian women is legendary. It is almost as if they absorb the breathtaking beauty of the nature that surrounds them and convert it into an exotic, magnetic glow that exudes pure joie de vivre. It was this vivacity and beauty that inspired BABOR to create Beleza do Brasil, a body care range that encapsulates the vitality, freshness and energy of the Amazon. For a long time, the secret of the beauty of Brazilian women remained locked away in the rainforest. BABOR researchers embarked on a journey of discovery: they listened to the indigenous peoples, learned their treatment rituals and stumbled upon exceptional medicinal plants that do more than simply enhance beauty. The Amazonian Indians even attribute magical, beguiling powers to them.
The cumaru tree is the “medicine man” of the rainforest and has long been valued as a medicinal plant. Its seeds smell of vanilla and can be used to treat snakebites. They are even claimed to possess magical powers and to have a hypnotizing and erotic effect. It has been scientifically proved, however, that the seeds have a very high content of omega fatty acids, which are essential for the skin. The oil obtained from them supports the skin’s natural protective functions and makes skin strong and resilient.
The problem of dry skin affects an extraordinarily high number of people. It often appears at a certain age and follows a varying course with periods of more or less acute symptoms, but remains a dominating feature of the skin. Dry skin is generally bright and thin, is usually reddened due to the visibility of blood vessels, and is nearly always matt with closed, invisible pores. It has no shine and its surface is marked with mild flaking and fine cracks. Tangible and subjective features of dry skin include roughness, reduced flexibility, brittleness, tightness, burning, numbness, and occasional itchiness. Such skin lacks softness and quickly begins to show wrinkles, which form into a web of tiny lines on the face as the years go by. For people with normal skin, the first symptoms of permanent dryness usually appear around the age of thirty or even as early as twenty. It thus comes as no surprise that the vast majority of skin care cosmetics are designed for use with dry skin, and that the issue of maintaining proper moisture levels in the epidermis is one of the leading subject of research conducted at cosmetic laboratories.
