The importance of a bedtime routine

Every day, our skin is exposed to pollution, dust, sebum, and makeup, which can clog pores and lead to various skin problems. To have clear, well-oxygenated skin that is capable of regenerating properly, it is crucial to adopt an evening beauty routine. In this article, we will explore why it is essential to cleanse your skin at the end of the day (and not in the morning), the importance of double cleansing, and the benefits this brings to our skin.

The unexpected beauty benefits of a daily break

A lot is happening around us—the world, wars, the climate, health, our surroundings, work, family, finances—all reasons to think, perhaps a little too much. Sometimes you have to know how to refocus and take time to breathe. It’s easier said than done, of course, but taking care of yourself for even just 5 minutes a day would change a lot for our well-being and the beauty of our skin.

La Canopée loves allergens and you should too!

In the world of beauty, one term seems to cause concern: allergens! Unfortunately perceived as substances to be avoided at all costs, naturally derived allergens can play an essential role in the effectiveness of cosmetic products. In this article, we only address the case of naturally derived allergens because it is our specialty; we are by no means making a generalization that encompasses synthetic allergens, about which we do not know much.

Hyaluronic acid: a magical anti-aging ingredient?

Hyaluronic acid is considered a star ingredient in modern cosmetics, and for good reason! This versatile molecule is famous for its hydrating and anti-aging properties. But do you know how hyaluronic acid works and why it is so effective? Which skin types is it recommended for and what should it be paired with? In this article, we will explore the benefits of naturally extracted hyaluronic acid and how it becomes an essential cosmetic ingredient in a hydrating and anti-aging routine.

Double cleansing: THE essential beauty step

At La Canopée, double cleansing is king! We are convinced of its importance for skin beauty and, unfortunately, that if it is not performed or is done "incorrectly," your cosmetic routine is likely to fail. Let's take a look together at this essential beauty ritual.

Vegan Testing: our fight for animal welfare

It therefore took us years to find and study alternatives that suit us! We are proud to announce that our new eye contours have been subjected to rigorous and animal-friendly tests, in accordance with our commitment to ethics and respect for animal life. As part of our vegan approach, two evaluation methods were used: the agarose method and the neutral red release method, both in a vegan version, meaning they use a substitute for bovine serum. These tests make it possible to evaluate the potential irritancy of cosmetic products in a precise and scientific manner, without causing any harm to animals.

Anti-aging: between myths and realities

Anti-aging is one of the most beautiful promises cosmetics has ever made. But how can we see things clearly with everything cosmetics brands offer? What can we believe between magical promises and scientific realities? At La Canopée, we always love to share our knowledge of skin biology, as well as our discoveries in green chemistry.

At what point should I change my skincare routine?

This question may seem rather simple, and we have all asked ourselves this question, which is so important for the proper use of cosmetic products in general. While some people (very lucky ones!) manage to quickly find THE ideal routine based on their skin's current needs, finding THE right cream or the perfect routine can sometimes become an uphill battle. First, it is necessary to remember that the skin is a living, complex organ that evolves over time. Furthermore, we are not equal when it comes to this search; what is valid and works for one person may be unsuitable for someone else's skin. This is why diagnostics and advice are relevant when they are personalized 😉
