Skincare in Spring - Your Top #5 Tips

I highly recommend introducing essential fatty acids to your diet through the two main sources of Omega 3 - DHA and KPA. This will support cell membrane development and hence acid mantle creation and maintenance. This is an important step in treating dehydrated skin.

This will complement your skincare regime at home, but it works from the inside out.

The Skin Omegas+ is a complex omega 3 supplement containing fish oils and vitamin A. It is recommended for overall skin health and hydration, providing support for all skin types and is highly recommended for dry skin conditions.

When the skin is dehydrated, our SCCEs (Stratum Corneum Chymotryptic Enzymes) become inactive (stop working) meaning our skin's natural desquamation process ceases, resulting in a build-up of unwanted corneocytes (skin cells that need to be exfoliated off)

A triple-action exfoliant that combines Ecoscrub, enzymes and AHA’s to gently polish, removing lifeless cells. Skin is left feeling instantly smoother and more radiant.

The Bestow Body Brush detoxifies your skin. Dry brushing your skin each day encourages detoxification, stimulates circulation and promotes soft, smooth skin. The Bestow Body Brush is wooden and the bristles are made from natural fibres which stimulate the skin without irritating it.

Moisturising your skin is a vital step in any skincare regime and all skin types, even the oiliest skins.

Moisturising helps to lock in moisture, protect our skin from external aggressions, and stop pathogens from entering our skin and interrupting our moisture barrier function.

Our skin is our largest organ, so it needs to be protected every morning and night with a moisturiser.

An all-over hydrator infused with refreshing essential oils and resurfacing Glycolic Acid, working to tone, tighten, and smooth the skin on the body. Both treats and nourishes the skin on the body, minimising uneven texture, imperfections, and dry patches

Serums and body oils have a massive impact on our skin due to their ability to penetrate and deliver active ingredients to the deeper layers of the skin. This helps in binding moisture and preventing moisture loss.

Dermalogica Circular Hydration Serum is a long lasting serum which floods the skin with hydration, replenishes from within, and helps prevent future dehydration - creating a healthy circular and sustained hydration flow.  

This nourishing, light-weight body oil delivers satiny hydration and  luminosity to the skin. Wear this at the pool, the beach, or every day for a radiant finish.

This makes sun protection crucial for all Australians, all year round!
