The Puristic Beauty Look


The woman with the puristic style attaches great importance to natural beauty and a fresh complexion. While she will never own a large collection of decorative cosmetics, she will pay particular attention to her healthy skin. Without necessarily relying on a lot of make-up, she will prefer cosmetic products that emphasize the healthy radiance of her complexion. Cleansing care lotions and high-quality foundations will always find their place in her beauty case!

There is a skin care product the minimalist woman will always rely on: the facial care lotion! As an important tool for a perfect beauty look, the skin care lotion for the puristic style will need to have a relaxing and refreshing effect.

Aromatic Fragrances


The minimalist style calls for a fresh, unobtrusive fragrance, which ensures an unpretentious elegant finish. Green, aromatic scents that are reminiscent of fresh herbal gardens are ideal for this effect. Delicate fragrance worlds such as Lancôme Ô, Hermès Un Jardin en Mediterranée, Issey Miyake A Scent, and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca give their wearer a light, refreshing aura that remind of a small oasis of calm.

Subtle pieces of jewelry are suitable for this, since they rather stand out thanks to their discreet elegance and their immaculate geometric accents.
