Getting Ready for Portugal

I always start my count down pretty early before we leave, maybe two months… three? Already then, I start thinking about what to bring (actually I think about that all year). I start working out specifically to benefit my surfing (those paddling arms), and I go through routines to prepare my body and my skin for a new setting and a different climate.
One of the routines that I’ve come to love is that of which my long-term collaboration with Skin Treat has allowed me to indulge in. Skin Treat, as you probably know by now, is a 100 percent vegan skincare brand with key active ingredients from organic farming. The products are naturally gentle but at the same time effective.
Right now I enjoy giving special attention to my body by scrubbing, exfoliating and moisturizing. I’ll be the first to admit I’ve never been so close to caring for my body as much as my face as I am right now. I’ve found a routine and it feels great. I’ll be ready for the beach in two weeks.
These are my essentials from Skin Treat right now, click on each product to find them on KICKS.SE.

This is a part of my ongoing collaboration with Esprit. We did our first project together this fall and have since met both in Stockholm and Berlin to create content focusing on their sustainability efforts. Earlier this spring myself and my Make it last co-founder Lisa participated in a panel debate on the future of fashion in general and the sustainable ambitions of Esprit in particular, it was a great talk. I tend to think longer, more integrated collaborations are more fruitful than one-offs. You get to know the brand, you get some insight into what the motivations and main challenges are.

Anyway, Esprit is on a journey towards a more sustainable business model and they are working a lot with better materials as a part of this process. Nearly 70 percent of Esprit’s denim is made of organic cotton and recycled materials, to mention one. They also work a lot with for example Tencel and a material I’m increasingly interested in, Ecovero (it’s derived from certified renewable wood sources using an eco-responsible production process which meets high environmental standards).
Here are my favorite sustainable Esprit garments for this coming summer. I’m so excited to bring them to Portugal in a month or so. I love the shirt’s detailing and the bag is perfection! Which are your favorites?

How To Boost Your Skin with SKIN TREAT

by Emma Elwin on 22 March, 2019
The spring hasn’t quite sprung in Stockholm yet and I’m desperate to save my skin from giving up due to the cold, dry climate and constant weather changes. It’s definitely the time of the year to make an extra skin effort, don’t you agree?
I like making it easy though. As you know I’m a fan of Skin Treat, a brand sold exclusively at Kicks and Kicks.se. Skin Treat offers 100% vegan, at least 90% natural body care in which all key active ingredients originate from organic farming. Naturally gentle and budget-friendly, while at the same time technical and effective. How happy I am for the developments in this field, it didn’t use to be easy to find these kinds of concepts only a few years ago.
My best products to boost skin right now are from the Skin Treat Intense Moisture series. Rich, creamy formulas that work deeply, beyond the surface skin. The Multi-Action AHA & PHA Rinse-Off Peeling, Anti-Blemish Body Treatment and the Anti-Blemish Gel Cleanser are my favorites!
Sold exclusively at Kicks.se, right now with a 25 % discount.
