At Siprès, we love talking about skin. But we also love talking about everything that contributes to its balance: local farming, seasonal cycles, and the freshness of raw ingredients. These small everyday choices may seem insignificant, but they have a real impact on our overall well-being.
Our philosophy does not stop at the skincare products we apply in our bathrooms. It is part of a broader, more coherent lifestyle, one that is closer to nature and living systems. That is why we work with plant-based oils sourced from Belgian and French crops, harvested in season and processed as freshly as possible.
This same logic can also extend to our diet. In June, local markets (or directly your local vegetable farmer) are full of seasonal fruits and vegetables that are particularly rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants: precious nutrients for the body and for skin that is constantly renewing itself. Because balanced skin is never built through cosmetics alone.
LES ALLIÉS DE VOTRE PEAU AU MOIS DE JUIN
🍓 LES FRUITS ROUGES
Strawberries, raspberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants, and cherries are naturally rich in vitamin C and polyphenols. Vitamin C contributes to collagen synthesis, essential for skin firmness. Polyphenols help fight oxidative stress responsible for premature cell aging.
🥕🥬 LES LÉGUMES COLORÉS
Spinach, arugula, lettuce, watercress, young shoots, carrots, beets, radishes, and peas provide a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
They notably contain:
beta-carotene (a precursor of vitamin A, important for cell renewal)
iron, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin C
Beetroot stands out for its antioxidant pigments. Peas provide plant proteins and amino acids that support tissue renewal.
🌰 LES FRUITS À COQUE (EN CONSERVATION)
Hazelnuts and walnuts are rich in vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids. They help maintain skin elasticity and support the skin barrier. A small handful a day is a good habit for both skin and overall health.
UNE VISION COHÉRENTE DU SOIN
Choosing seasonal fruits and vegetables, just like choosing skincare products formulated with locally sourced plant-based ingredients, ultimately follows the same logic:
- Prioritise freshness. Nutrients are best preserved close to harvest.
- Respect natural cycles. Adapt to the seasons rather than work around them.
- Support producers committed to human-scale supply chains.
At Siprès, we believe that healthy skin is built through a set of consistent habits. Skincare products certainly have a role to play, but they are part of a broader approach that also encompasses diet, lifestyle, and the environment we live in.
