Rosehip Rescue Balm

No, it does not contain SPF. And here’s why! As a rule, sunscreen is meant to sit on the skin to act as a defense between your face and the sun. It's generally not meant to penetrate the skin, because it's supposed to block out all harmful UV rays. Moisturizers, on the other hand, are the opposite; their very purpose is to penetrate the skin, adding moisture and actives to deeper skin layers.

Proper solar protection requires a specific amount of SPF in order for it to be effective, leaving little room for other active ingredients in a formula. Most importantly, when exposed to air and light, sunscreen becomes ineffective after a short period of time (about 90 minutes max). You need to reapply it when your skin is exposed to the sun.

The best way to treat your skin is to put on a hydrating moisturizer such as the Balancing Facial Cream first, then apply an SPF 30 or more each morning and reapply throughout the day.

MAIWE’s products are suitable for all skin types - as gentle cleansing, very good moisturization and the magics of Rosehip work wonders for lots of skin types. We believe in a customizable skincare routine, where you combine the products according to your needs. Have a look at our Maiwe Rituals to know which routine is right for you.

You can determine your skin type by washing your face with a gentle cleanser and waiting a few hours:

If it feels rather dry and flaky, you have dry skin.

Shiny skin is oily skin.

An oily T-zone with dry cheeks for example is combination skin.

Your skin type can change given the time of the year, your monthly cycle and age.

I have suffered a lot from acne myself. Rosehip is amazing to diminish acne scars, and its linolenic acid will battle acute acne and make your skin less oily. The Rosehip Oil Serum is a great way to balance your skin and make it more calm.

It is important is to cleanse gently as well, for example with the Double Cleansing Ritual, and to bring in a lot of moisture. The Balancing Facial Cream is a great, lightweight & fragrance free cream to moisturize your skin and protect your skin barrier.

Never dry your skin out, and stick to a minimalistic skincare routine such as MAIWE’s Rosehip line.

Know that hormonal acne can never be fully solved with skincare only, so expect realistic results and think of other lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, avoiding stress and focusing on those vitamins. An occasional facial treatment can do wonders for your skin too.

Redness and rosacea is a long-term skin condition, of which the reasons are unknown. It is more common among women and people with lighter skin. Unfortunately it can’t be fully cured, yet it can be treated. A few tips on how to deal with redness are:

Protect your skin really well from the sun

You need an extra strong and protected microbiome to counter symptoms. Apply pre- and probiotics with the Balancing Facial Cream to diversify and strengthen your skin barrier.

Sometimes red flashes are triggered by alcohol, spicy food or caffeine. Important is to use skincare that is suitable for sensitive skin, such as MAIWE’s skincare range. If the symptoms are really severe and discomforting you, you might want to visit a dermatologist who will probably prescribe creams with antibiotics.

Aging is an inevitable part of life. So is aging skin. And while you can’t control the aging process, you can adopt a lifestyle that helps provide your skin with the nourishment and hydration it needs to stay healthy and vibrant.

Drink plenty of water

Avoid stress

Protect your skin from the sun every day

Do your skincare right: Double Cleansing Ritual at night, vitamin-infused treatment with Rosehip Oil Serum (vitamin A is a true booster for cell renewal, read more on The Vitamin Guide) and moisturize twice a day with the Balancing Facial Cream.

Try to embrace your wrinkles, they are a sign of life and the things you’ve been through. They’re a part of who you are.

Maiwe strongly believes in ecology, it’s part of our brand’s DNA:

We focus on wildharvested, non-threatened plants. These are very resilient, never cultivated and thus never treated. They grow on soils where agriculture is difficult such as mountain ridges or lake beaches.

The rosehip that comes from Chile travels once a year, right after harvest season. The social impact of this part of our business is of great value.

We formulate our products according to the EcoCert natural cosmetics standard.

We use almost only recyclable glass as packaging.

Our production, packaging and development is all based in Belgium and neighbouring countries.

We don’t believe in an excess of products: excellent, minimalistic skincare works for a range of different skin types.

We’re not perfect, but we always strive for sustainability and have it in mind in every step of our business.
