A facial serum is a water- or oil-based cosmetic product with moisturising properties that usually promise anti-ageing, anti-oxidant or radiance benefits. The thing about water-based products is that water spoils easily if you add chemical ingredients to it. If you don't want this to happen, opt for oil-based serums, which don't so much moisturise as retain moisture and nourish deeply. If such a product is also 100% natural AND organic, you've struck gold! But these types of product exist? Yes! At Amanprana you will find this Queen of anti-wrinkle serums: Shangri-la.

The serum Shangri-la by Amanprana: 100% skinfood, organic and vegan

The serum Shangri-la by Amanprana is a genuine antioxidant bombshell, based on three base oils and 13 essential oils of the highest quality. Just massage a few drops each day delicately around your eye area, and on your face, throat and neckline for a radiant glow and a deeply nourishing and protective effect. 100% skinfood in its purest form: organic & vegan.

Shangri-la's three basic oils: olive oil, almond oil and red palm oil

Almond oil regulates the moisture content of the facial skin and eye area and reduces skin irritations. Especially dry, flaky and mature skin benefits from this oil due to its nurturing and softening properties. 

Olive oil has moisturising properties and retains moisture, thus having a balancing effect on facial skin. Olive oil also contains vitamin E, carotene, minerals and is very rich in antioxidants.

Red palm oil contains as much as ten times more carotenes than carrots and is particularly beneficial for the skin of the face and around the eyes when used daily. Red palm oil is also the richest source of tocotrienols, which protect against skin ageing and sun damage.

Shangri-la fan: “I especially see the glow that they all write about at the moment of application. The application itself with those natural fragrances awakens all my senses as a woman and I make it a nice morning ritual. With this facial oil, I feel that my skin can breathe and be part of nature, as opposed to a day cream that seems to close off all my pores. This is a new experience for me, matches who I am and I like it very much."

13 essential oils are the superfoods of Shangri-la anti-ageing serum

1.  Bergamot protects the skin from external influences. It soothes, cools and refreshes. 
2.  Myrtle has a cleansing and purifying effect on the facial skin.
3.   Sage cares for, protects and has a beneficial effect thanks to its antibacterial and fungicidal properties.
4.   Cinnamon prevents dirt from penetrating the skin and stimulates circulation.
5.   Rosemary is a revitalising oil that stimulates the circulation of the skin, making it more radiant.
6.   Basil regulates the moisture content and protects the facial skin from, among other things, UV radiation from the sun.
7. Rose geranium contributes to supple, elastic and firm facial skin, eye area, throat and neckline.
8.   Rose is THE oil for regeneration and elasticity of facial skin and stimulates cell renewal in deeper skin layers. 
9.   Thyme acts as a purifier, antibacterial and antifungal agent and also protects against external influences.
10. Clove has a preventive and protective effect against possible infections or inflammations. 
11. Oregano stimulates circulation, is strongly antiseptic and has protective qualities.
12. Szechuan pepper has wound healing properties and stimulates skin circulation.
13. Turmeric has cleansing and anti-inflammatory effects on the whole body.

Organic facial care full of antioxidants: a super food ORAC formula

Antioxidants is a collective term for certain vitamins (C, E, beta-carotene), minerals (selenium), trace elements and bioactive substances found in certain vegetables, fruits, nuts and herbs. Antioxidants protect the body from free radicals. These are aggressive molecules created by oxidation processes in our bodies. Oxidising means: bonding with oxygen and this in itself is a normal process. However, this can be accelerated by various forms of pollution, heavy metals, (cigarette) smoke, chemicals and an unhealthy diet. Antioxidants slow down the oxidation process. Olive, almond and red palm oils are packed with them, as are clove, cinnamon, oregano, turmeric, basil, pepper and thyme. These are all incorporated into the anti-aging serum Shangri-la by Amanprana.

Shangri-la fan: "We both use this wonderfully fragrant face oil, which is always on hand in our bathroom. It is a product that will definitely be brought on holiday.. After a hot shower, give your face good nourishment. This is my top product. No more creams for me. My husband also finds it a wonderful oil to apply after shaving."
