This week, we’ve decided to look at Beauty Through the Ages. The evolution of beauty and some of the weird and wonderful things that women have done, and still do, to appear more youthful and beautiful. One of the most common theme is to achieve ‘perfect white skin.’ I’m truly grateful we live in an […]
Coconut oil, avocado, coffee, turmeric and cucumber are just some home remedies that promise clear, glowing skin when mashed up and applied topically to our face. But do they really work? When I was young and didn’t have access to good skin care, I certainly tried many things from the fridge. Lemon juice on pimples […]
Stretch marks, skin discolouration, varicose veins and sagging skin are some of the wonderful things that our parents can hand down to us. But just because our parents might have had these things doesn’t necessarily mean that we have to have them too. Skin disorders, just like any health disorder, are caused by the mutation […]
The primary purpose of exfoliation is to remove dead skin cells. When our skin is functioning as it should be, usually, around every 28 – 30 days, our body will naturally shed dead cells as new cells will replace the old cells. However, overtime, an excess of dead skin cells accumulates. Giving us the appearance […]

Serums – the Significant Difference! If you want to effect change in your skin, whether it is to beat your acne, slow the process of ageing in your skin or fight your redness, you need to use serums. Creams and moisturisers are universally known and understood, often being all that a person uses. However, […]
Vitamin E is found naturally in the skin in varying forms and is cleverly able to travel deep into the skin to the dermis. This is due to it being lipid-soluble and a powerful antioxidant in its own right, though when combined with others – WOW, it can have some punch! Vitamin E is actually […]
Where we live and the lives that we lead, are all big factors in not only our general health, but the health of our skin. So whether we live in the country, or the inner city, the environmental impacts play an integral part in skin health. With our skin being our largest organ, one […]
What Are Free Radicals? They are the “baddies” in our skin because they cause our cells to become dysfunctional…which makes us age faster! Free radicals are minute chemical particles that are usually the result of an inflammatory chemical process – they are the leftover bits caused from cellular damage or, as I like to call them, […]
If you are aware, or care about how to be healthy, you are likely to be a little confused about the Sun and, more relevantly, the UV rays which come from it. We are told to protect ourselves and our children from the potentially damaging Ultraviolet Light which the sun puts out and which is […]
Ageing, Sun-Damaged Skin? Growth Factors Are What You Need! Growth Factors are natural substances made by our cells to maintain healthy skin. They essentially control everything – regulate cell production, growth, division and maturation! We need them to keep healthy and looking good with a well-functioning skin. As we and our skin ages, fewer growth […]
Alpha Lipoic acid – does your skin need it? Alpha Lipoic acid, also known as Lipoic acid, ALA or thioctic acid is a very special antioxidant, both for our skin as well as our bodies and brains. Like other antioxidants, it can be taken orally (food and drink) as well as applied topically. It is […]
Shea Butter has been a universally loved ingredient in skin care products for centuries. It is the superfood for skin as it is naturally high in essential fatty acids, Vitamins E, D, A, plus many minerals. The five main fatty acids are palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and arachidic acids. The butter is made from the […]
Food in winter… it’s time to change your comfort eating habits! Winter is a time we tend to reach for comfort food and the effect on our skin can either be a devastatingly dull appearance or give you a gorgeous healthy glow. There can be long term effects over these three to four months if […]
Young, healthy skin holds water well, but from around age 25, the skin begins to lose its ability to retain it, showing signs of dehydration, and with this its ability to function well. Our skin is such a complex organ, continuing to work even when missing essential nutrients, that we often don’t notice until almost […]

Chirality ensures your skin can have more effective, purer, safer ingredients penetrating deeper. The skin, which is the body’s largest organ, has millions of chiral receptors; they are on every single cell. These receptors can be affected by what you put on your skin, so if a substance is foreign (a nasty chemical) to the […]
Vitamin A – facts, types and use Vitamin A in skin care products works by normalising skin functions which equals a correction of all skin conditions. It is a very exciting ingredient to add to your skin regime. It was conclusively proven in 1996 that Vitamin A as a topical skin ingredient is capable of […]
What does Natural, Organic and Science based really mean – it’s all in the label. Learning how to distinguish between natural, organic and certified organic personal care products and those based on artificial ingredients lies in the ability to decipher labels. First, understand that a product labelled “natural, botanical or plant based” under Australian standards […]
Toxic chemical’s as ingredients in personal care products slowly build up in your system and/or your skin over time creating a dehydrated, more sensitive, reactive skin which is in poor health. For this reason alone it is best to avoid them. Here are some of the common ones. SLS – Sodium Lauryl Sulphate Is a […]
Antioxidants in Skin Care – one vital step to slow the aging process! What are antioxidants? They are chemicals that are able to “fill the gap” in free radicals (damaged cells) without harming themselves. They stop the chain of events that has caused your cells to become dysfunctional ensuring you look younger for longer with more […]
Humans need sunlight. We need it to produce Vitamin D, which is essential for strong bones and lots of other important body functions. Feeling its warmth on our backs gives us a wonderful glow and generally makes us feel good about the world. However, there is a down side to too much sun. Whether it is incidental […]
Our body is made up of between 60-75% water depending on the stage of life we are in. 15% of our body weight is water which is around 4-5 kg in a normal sized adult. We know it is very important to our general well-being however studies are showing that when we are dehydrated our […]
