How to give your skin a fresh start in September

Posted by Sachiko van Veen on

September feels like a new beginning. Summer is behind us, and calendars fill up with work, school, and plans. Yet your skin may still show signs of sun and heat. Now is the time to focus on repair. With our Essentials, you give your skin gentle care and powerful support to ease the transition into autumn.

Post-summer repair: the power of antioxidants

After sunny months, your skin often needs extra care. Green rooibos is rich in antioxidants such as aspalathin and nothofagin. These rare compounds are hard to find in other plants and help protect skin against free radicals—the main cause of dullness, fine lines, and premature aging.

Rooibos works deep—down to skin cells

Research shows that rooibos antioxidants can penetrate into skin cells. They help reduce oxidative stress caused by sun exposure, pollution, and blue light. The result: skin that recovers faster and regains its natural glow.

Green rooibos vs. green tea

Green tea is often praised for its antioxidants, but green rooibos is just as compelling. It’s caffeine-free, mild, and suitable for sensitive skin—ideal not only to drink, but also as a skincare ingredient.

A Dore Moment in September

September often means long hours behind a laptop. Treat yourself to a Dore Moment after work: take a few minutes to cleanse, nourish, and consciously shift from work to rest. This small ritual supports your skin—and your sense of balance.

In closing

A September reset is about balance—in your schedule and for your skin. With our Essentials, you support post-summer repair in a gentle yet effective way. Create a daily moment of care and calm. Your skin stays fresh, radiant, and ready for the new season.
