A Little Something On Skincare

WRITTEN BY NEDA VRANICI

For us, skin is ideally cared for from the outside in and the inside out simultaneously. This post is about the external care which always starts with cleansing.

The epidermis is a living layer that breathes, sweats, looses water, produces oils, contains its own microbiome and regenerates. Add to that buildup as a result of the environment and you’ll get a clear picture on what needs to be washed away.

These below are our 4 of our favourite natural cleansers that are carefully formulated to clear accumulated dirt off of your skin:

  • Fitglow Beauty Vita-Active Cleanser: Loaded with certified organic botanical extracts including Organic Calendula, Burdock Root, Rosemary and Nettle Leaf to clean, hydrate and protect skin. Vitamin C defends from free radical damage and brightens skin. Great for all skin types – gentle enough to use day and night.

Exfoliate

When lathering on its own doesn’t penetrate deep enough and dead skin cells have created dry skin patches and with it possible discolouration, something more thorough such as exfoliation is needed. Exfoliation comes in different methods and not only helps you reach the healthy supple layer of your skin but also stimulates blood flow in different ways to aid in regeneration.

Have a look at these amazing exfoliators we carry:

  • Patyka Double Action Smoothing Scrub: Stimulates cellular renewal and makes skin more supple and radiant, combining smoothing, anti-ageing, exfoliating and softening properties in one product. Its creamy texture offers the comfort of a mask and the gentle exfoliation of a scrub to refine skin texture, brighten the complexion, blur any pigmentation issues and visibly smooth wrinkles.
  • The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5%: Lactic Acid is an alpha hydroxyl acid that exfoliates the skin. This 5% formulation offers very mild exfoliation and is supported with a purified Tasmanian pepperberry known to reduce signs of inflammation and sensitivity that is often associated with exfoliation. A stronger 10% formula is available here.
  • NIOD Non-Acid Precursor 15%: Instead of using direct acids like AHA/BHA or retinoids that are common in skincare, Non-Acid Precursor 15% uses fermentation bio-derivatives and amino isolates that act as precursors to skin-compatible acids, encouraging visible radiance and visible surface regularity without the redness and inflammation associated with acids.
  • Mad Hippie Exfoliating Serum: Mother Nature & modern science unite to reduce the appearance of skin discoloration & wrinkles in this alpha hydroxy acid based serum. Contains both Glycolic and Lactic Acid along with tons of other effective ingredients.
  • Blue Tansy Resurfacing Clarity Mask: This mask is designed to clarify and resurface skin with soothing blue tansy, naturally resurfacing white willow bark, and gently exfoliating fruit enzymes.
