The Serendipity of Natural Beauty-EDELPURE Alpine Quintessential Skin Defense

   This tale of beauty began in the year 1900, in Switzerland. One day a young noble lady strolled through the lush green fields of the Alps, picking flowers as young girls often would. By accident, she stumbled upon a white flower, beautiful and pure, blooming majestically amidst all the other flowers. Such beauty captivated the young princess’s heart. She gathered the flowers and made them into a tiara, as young girls often do. She would often wear the tiara wherever she went.
    One day, the young lady noticed a remarkable change. The other flowers that made up her tiara withered away as time went by, but the white flower bloomed proud and magnificent as the day she first found it. Curious, she sought an explanation from the physician who’s also well-versed in botany. The physician told her the flower was called Edelweiss, the queen of Alpine’s flowers. Edelweiss grew during the three months of spring and only at the Alpine altitude of higher than 2,000 meters, the physician explained. It was a rare find, and this beautiful flower could withstand both intense heat and extreme cold.
     Hearing the physician, the young lady’s interests piqued even more. She asked the physician to investigate the source of Edelweiss’s exceptional quality. After conducting a study, the physician returned with an answer. He told her the secret of Edelweiss was its ability to hold moisture. The physician was able to extract the secret substance that helped to moisture and keep young, which became a beauty recipe the young lady used to keep her skin beautiful and pure like the Edelweiss flower. This beauty recipe has since been passed down from generation to generation.
     Today, the researchers at the Alpine Swiss Laboratoire continues to develop this beauty recipe, meticulously select and extract the substance of Edelweiss and mixing it with the goodness of seven other different Alpine plants. The result is EDELPURE ESSENCE™, the heart of the brand EDELPURE. Made by the gentleness of nature and rich with antioxidants,  E D E L P U R E  is the key that opens the secret to the skin, beautiful and pure.

EDELWEISS FLOWER STORY
     Edelweiss is a white mountain flower known by the Swiss as the Queen of Alpine Flora. This beautiful plant was at one time regarded as the symbol of ‘true love’ because, in a year, the flower is only found during the three springtime months in rugged, difficult terrain of the Alps, as high as 2,000 metres from sea level. So, persevering all the difficulties to collect Edelweiss in full bloom for a woman reflected determination and showed the true intentions of the man.
     Edelweiss is blessed with natural resistance to harsh weather conditions, be it scorching heat or frigid cold. The flower continues to bloom for a long period of time even after it has been picked because it is capable of locking moisture and antioxidants inside. These qualities make Edelweiss a true miracle of nature.

4 Steps to Sustainable Beauty


1. Cleansing Your Face
Every day, your face encounters various types of pollution, including dirt, smoke and residual makeup. It is also subject to products containing UV-protection sunscreen. These factors all contribute to the weakening of your skin. So, choosing your face-cleansing products well is an important step to good, healthy skin. Start by using a makeup remover, followed by a cleanser that is suitable for your skin type. Together, these products work to thoroughly clear chemical residue that may otherwise be left to clog your pores. A failure to cleanse your face well could lead to skin health deterioration, comedones, dark and dull skin and more. So, make sure you cleanse your face well, leaving it free from chemical residue, and preparing the skin to fully benefit from nourishing routines that will follow.


2. Toning Your Face
Once your face is clean, the next important step, which is often overlooked by many people, is to apply a toner to restore the right balance of your facial skin. This process helps skin to fully embrace further pampering, minimizes pores and replenishes skin moisture – making the skin feel smooth and revitalized.


3. Pampering Your Face
Now that your face is clean and ready for treatment, it is time to pamper it with skin-nourishing products that help to restore skin strength from within. Such products include intensive serum, eye cream and moisturizer. And for optimum results, use appropriate products for daytime and nighttime treatments.


4. Protecting Your Skin
The last step before you get out to face harsh sunlight and pollution in the morning is to always protect your skin with products that have SPF and PA ratings because they effectively protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays, which can easily make your skin look dark and dull. These sunrays also reduce proteins in your skin and contribute to pre-mature aging.
     Additional Practices to Enhance the Efficiency of Your Skincare Routine
     Apart from the above four fundamental steps, you may like to try the below practices a few times weekly to achieve even healthier skin.
     Facial Scrub: A facial scrub helps exfoliate dead skin cells to reveal younger, healthier and smoother skin. It also effectively stimulates natural skin cell renewal. Make sure to choose a facial scrub product that is gentle on the skin because the ones that are too rough or too strong may result in skin damage.
     Skin Rejuvenation: When your skin is weary and weakened by pollution or skin-damaging activities, revitalize it quickly and effectively with intensive skin-nourishing masks.
     With proper pampering and care, maintaining youthful and beautiful skin from the inside out should not be too difficult to achieve.
