A holistic approach to beauty

Here at The Upcoming, we consider ourselves to be in the incredibly fortunate minority who get to sample a vast range of toiletries and cosmetics before they are released to the general public. We see, smell and enjoy products, so when you see a feature, you know it’s written because we simply adore the products! It’s not often that we come across such an innovative and unique range that encompasses your skin care needs, whilst treating your emotional and mental needs too!

AEOS, Active, Energised, Organic, Skincare by Aura Soma very cleverly embeds colour and crystal therapy within its products. All products are 100% natural and plant derived. When selecting a product, your first port of call is no longer your skin type. When choosing an AEOS product there are three colour options.

According to the website: “Pink is essentially the colour of kindness, caring, warmth – love. We could all benefit from a little more love and caring. Most of us do not allow ourselves the time or space to care for ourselves and more usually that caring energy is directed outwardly towards others – friends, family, loved ones.   The yellow associations are those of self-confidence, the feel good associations with a sunny day – joy!

The yellow is a lovely balance to the nervous system to encourage a more centred way of being and to bring in happiness.  Blue speaks to us of the qualities of peace, serenity and nurturing, qualities that we all have need of in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Our days are full of ‘busy-ness’ and extending out of ourselves. The blue gives an opportunity to ‘re-group’ and find some stillness within.”

Colour therapy is the theory that you are naturally drawn to what your body needs. The explanation behind your choice of product colour will surprise you, as we found, your selection gives a very accurate description as to your emotional state.

The fresh and modern approach to AEOS is what separates them from the sea of mass-produced cosmetics. Beauty has been re-defined. It is no longer simply about the external shell; the holistic approach introduces a new thought process. Modern beauty embodies our wellbeing, state of mind and happiness. Once we find true balance it is only then that our inner beauty and natural glow can shine through.

This luxurious three-phase programme is a true aromatic journey transforming what can often feel like a mundane task into a sensory experience to be savoured.

Phase one: Renewal. Thoroughly cleansed, but not tight or dehydrated skin is the first step to achieving the glow, active biodynamic ingredients effectively cleanse whilst nourishing the layers of the skin.

Phase two: Rebalance. Plant extracts and oils replenish the skins moisture balance, leaving it plumped, hydrated and balanced. This stage also prepares the skin for the application serum.

Phase three: Replenish. The final phase focuses on cell regeneration, reducing the signs of ageing and locking the previously applied products into the skin.

This synergistic blend of revolutionary ingredients re-affirms the message that true beauty is not just skin deep; treating the body as a whole ensures skincare benefits are maximised. If your skin care routine is ready for a New Year shake up, then look no further than AEOS – we guarantee you won’t regret it!
