Doodle – The Balance

The Balance – Gel Moisturiser

Targets:
 Hydration
 Light Moisturisation
 Skin Plumping
 Barrier Repair
 Reduction in Fine Line & Wrinkles
 Calming Irritation

Tips:

Changing of the seasons and climates means switching up your ritual. During the drier months or
drier climates across South Africa (hello, Jozi!) you may need to add an extra pump of The Balance in
the AM and/or PM. Try sandwiching some extra hydration from serums and toners before The
Balance and a facial oil after.
During the hotter and humid months or climates (Durbs, thats you!) you may need to apply less. You
know your skin and what it needs the best! Help your skin feel comfortable.

Retinoids can be irritating for some. Use the sandwiching technique to prevent the irritation that
you may experience. After cleansing, apply The Balance before applying your retinoid product of
choice, and if needed, apply more of The Balance over the top of the retinoid.

Travelling can cause your skin to dry more quickly. The recirculated air in an airplane can lead to
dehydrated skin. Apply The Balance before and during flights to retain surface hydration and a
comfortable skin feeling.

Massage The Balance into facial hair. Especially short beards.

If you don’t believe in using a dedicated eye cream, you can gently pat or gently rub a dot (start with
half a pea for both eyes) of The Balance around the eye area with finger tips. If you don’t know how
much pressure to apply with, use the tips of your ring finger so apply. Keep an eye on your eye area
to make sure that the product is not too rich for under the eyes.

Highlight Ingredients:

 Protect your microbiome with prebiotics and probiotics to restore and strengthen your barrier,
decrease inflammation and assist your skin increase its ceramide production.
 Add and retain hydration with humectants such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin and urea. Prevent
transepidermal water loss and dehydrated skin with the sealing properties of fatty acids found
in grapeseed and avocado oil (both add an antioxidant benefit as well).
 Counteract the effects of extrinsic (environmental damage etc) and intrinsic (chronological)
ageing. Peptide complexes work to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by
triggering your skin’s cells to produce more collagen and elastin and increasing blood flow.
 Control and regulate sebum production with niacinamide. This multitasker also compliments the
other ingredients by aiding in ceramide (lipid) production, acting as an antioxidant, brightening
and improving cell turnover and assisting with inflammation, skin texture and minimising pore
appearance. It also compliments other actives such as retinoids.
