A transition ritual to close the summer and start the new cycle with renewed skin and inner calm
The end of August has a special energy. The sun begins to set earlier, the body asks to slow down, and before we realize it we are already looking toward September. Back to work, to routines, to projects… yet also a new chance to begin from another place: more balanced, more conscious, more connected with ourselves.
From Eleven Obi we offer you a gentle transition where natural cosmetics are not just another routine but a ritual that helps you close the summer and prepare your skin (and energy) for a new cycle.
The change of season begins on your skin
After summer, many skins reach the end of August dehydrated, unbalanced, with a new spot or more sensitized areas. Heat, sun exposure, and shifting habits disrupt the skin barrier and the microbiome as well. Therefore, before thinking about “correcting” or “recovering,” the goal is to prepare the ground: soothe, balance, and strengthen.
Eleven Obi transition routine: gentle detox + deep repair
A proposal to accompany you during this return phase—without overloading the skin, without excessive exfoliation, without chasing perfection. Just caring from attentive listening.
- Step 1: Respectful cleansing.
Green Tangerine Revitalising Foam
A tangerine-scented foam that cleanses and soothes without stripping the lipid mantle. Ideal for starting a facial massage, reconnecting with the face through touch and aroma. - Step 2: Soothe and prime with natural ingredients.
Le Jardin Sauvage Toner
Rebalances post-summer pH and helps calm redness or reactions. Also perfect for post-holiday stress: use it as a mist on neck and wrists to wind down. Let yourself be wrapped in a mantle of scents from our wild garden. - Step 3: Repair from within.
The Eleven Radiance Cocktail (morning)
A complete serum with antioxidant principles that, thanks to its unique blend of actives, shields your skin from free radicals and treats spots from within. Perfect for starting a depigmenting routine, always paired with sunscreen. - Step 4: Repair from within.
Wondrous Regenerating Serum (night)
A complete serum with regenerating properties that, thanks to Reishi, offers spectacular regenerative power without irritation. It stimulates collagen production and cell renewal to help repair post-summer skin. Perfect for strengthening the depigmenting routine at night and assisting skins with marks, laxity, or accumulated sun damage. - Step 5: Seal with deep repair.
Bakuchiol Deep Resurfacing Elixir
This oil serum regenerates the skin with the full power of a phyto-retinol, leaving it nourished, balanced, and glowing. With continued use it tackles not only spots but also wrinkles and marks. Wake up to renewed skin every morning.
Inner ritual: return without losing the holiday calm
It’s not just your skin that needs preparation—your energy does too. Returning to routine can be demanding, and we often try to compensate by controlling everything down to the last detail, adding stress we don’t need.
We suggest this mini daily ritual to come back calmly and without extra stress:
- Five minutes of silence after your facial routine, letting the aromas and softness of the products embrace you.
- Three deep breaths with your favorite toner or oil as an aromatic anchor.
- Start the day with relaxing music that helps close your personal care routine.
Transition instead of restarting
There’s no need to “start from scratch” in September. You can simply transition—from rest to action, from the expansion of summer to the focus of autumn—and you can do it accompanied by cosmetics that respect your biological and emotional rhythm.
At Eleven Obi we believe in beauty that supports real processes, not imposed ideals. This change of cycle is also an opportunity to care for yourself better, without demands, with more love.
Your skin knows how to come back. Your body does too. You just have to listen to it.
