2010 will be the year of the mood-boosting beauty product

One of the key trends for 2010 is chromotherapy, a holistic approach inspired by the healing properties of colour. It’s an ancient philosophy that relies on the vibrations from colour wavelengths which can induce feelings of harmony. KROIA uses colourful active ingredients, such as micronised gemstones and pink Quartz crystal, to bring balance to the skin and the soul. Ranges are Age Defying Pink Therapy, Energizing Yellow Therapy and Soothing Blue Therapy. £35 at www.glowgetter.co.uk.

Kroia Chromotherapy products are products that are based on natural energies found in the essential oils of plant and fruit extracts. There are currently three types of moisturizers, the Energizing Yellow therapy, the Age Defying Pink therapy, and the Soothing Blue therapy. Each lightweight, foaming, daily moisturizer works to enhance the skin’s health and hydration. The lotion has a very clean, fresh smell and immediately soaks into the skin working throughout the day to promote a healthy, youthful appearance.
