May 2013 Newsletter


What’s hiding in your makeup case?
Sometimes it can seem like you are doing all the right things for your skin—eating well, staying out of the sun, applying quality skincare products—yet your skin looks far from its best. Breakouts, redness, itching: you’re at your wits’ end! You don’t know what else to do.

Could your makeup be the culprit?

Makeup matters
People spend a lot of time and money on sophisticated skincare products and treatments but often don’t realise that their makeup plays an equally important role in their skin’s health.

When faced with rows of pretty colours, heady fragrances and sensual packaging, reading the ingredients list on a bottle of foundation or a powder compact can be the last thing on your mind. But knowing what’s in your makeup can make a huge difference to the quality of your skin. Many cosmetic brands regularly use ingredients such as talc, fragrances and colours that can aggravate conditions like rosacea and acne, or even create new problems.

Saving face
Keep your skin smooth and clear with these makeup tips:

·    Read the fine print – Check the ingredients list before purchasing products and avoid makeup that includes fragrances, parabens, binders or synthetic dyes.
·    Keep it clean – You’re only as good as your tools: opt for naturally fibred makeup brushes and remember to clean regularly with warm water and a mild shampoo.
·    Say goodbye – Makeup isn’t meant to last forever. Conduct a regular makeup stocktake and discard any products that have changed colour, consistency or smell.

au revoir April

This month we revisited the building blocks of healthy skin: cleansing, toning and moisturising. We hope you're feeling more confident and inspired about your basic skincare routine. 

Remember that we're still offering 20% OFF cleansers, toners and moisturisers today and tomorrow, so if you've been thinking about restocking your basics, now is the perfect time to give us a call on (03) 9533 2019.


Cleansing Tip #2

According to researchers at the University of Colorado, the average person's hands carry more than 3000 different bacteria. 

Don't forget to scrub up before cleansing!



Cleansing Tip #1


Just finished cleansing? Stop right there and put that grubby hand towel down! Damp towels that have been on the rack for days are perfect breeding grounds for bacteria. A soft, clean towel that is used only to dry your face will help keep bacteria at bay.


Which toner is right for you?

Now is the perfect time to make sure you're using the right toner for your skin type. Click below to see which toner is the one for you.

Cleanse, tone and moisturise...

Cleansing, toning and moisturising your skin might seem like a pain but caring for your skin = caring for your body.

Your skin keeps infections, chemicals and UV rays out, protects you from extreme temperatures, produces vital proteins and vitamins and keeps water in. Show it some love!
