Every woman's dream is to achieve that flawless, glowing radiant skin. Couvrez organic skincare bridges the gap between the desire and the accomplishment of these dreams.

Perhaps the most apt description for the Brand is: Nigeria’s First Body Shop!
Couvrez Organic Skincare is a natural organic skincare company that specializes in producing natural & organic skincare products for the Nigerian woman on the go.

The name Couvrez which is coined from the French word Decouvrez which means discover is reflective of their vision to take the normal woman on a journey of beauty rediscovery. The Brand’s goal is dedicated to inspiring a healthy lifestyle through the creation of innovative Natural & Organic skin and body care products.

Couvrez’s natural skin care product lines are oriented towards plant and mineral ingredients from our gorgeous green earth; these ingredients are often referred to as botanical-based. These natural and organic skin care products focus on stimulating cell growth and rejuvenating the skin, by thoroughly cleansing, gently toning and moisturizing. Deep cleansing of the skin is important, but should be done using natural ingredients the skin quickly recognizes to ensure absorption & avoidance of stripping the skin of its natural oils.

In line with their philosophy to provide 100% organic skincare products to their Clients, Couvrez would be administering free skin consults at the event with a view to teaching ladies how to achieve the flawless, beautiful skins they deserve. 

Remember, You can meet these eclectic ladies at the BEAUTY AND THE FEAST at the Coral Reef hall [10, IKOYA AVENUE, OFF MACPHERSON, IKOYI] on the 11th of October by 1:00pm.
