Skin Type
Skin Concern
If we asked you “Have you ever kept a skin diary?”, I’m sure we’d be met with oodles of puzzled faces staring back at screens all over Australia (and the world!).
Yes, it does sound a little bizarre at first, but it can be SUPER helpful, especially if you’ve got problem skin.
You see, 99% of problem skin doesn’t just happen on its own. It’s triggered by other things in your life.
We wanted to ramble about something pretty important today. It’s important because it has to do with how you feel about yourself, and how happy you are just being you. Here goes… The idea of perfect skin is a myth. What!? Yup. We know. That’s the last thing you expected to hear from a skincare company, right?
Alrighty. Let’s stop what we’re doing and take a big, collective deep breath. There’s something in the air right now that is poised, waiting to send everyone into a perfection-seeking frenzy. Or maybe the frenzy has already got you? (Like it got us??).
The key to fabulous and flawless skin isn’t a fancy arsenal of pricey products. It’s knowing what your skin needs at every age. We’ll be the first to point out that everyone is different, and that 2 people born on the exact same day might have completely different skincare needs. BUT...
Diatomaceous earth, or DE, say whaaaaat? Sounds like something from prehistoric ages! And it kind of is. Let us explain. In short, it’s a naturally occurring, soft, and super fine plant and algae fossil.
There’s a bunch of essential oils on the market from anise and basil through to frankincense, tangerine and ylang-ylang (and about a million others in between). Yet given the abundance of essential oils, many people end up feeling overwhelmed or intimidated.
Heck, we’ve just passed the Winter Solstice, which means we’ve gotten past the shortest day of the year, but there’s still another 2 months of short days, cooler terms and gloomy skies. Your favourite bathers and glorious sun-kissed tans are still a while off… BUT! You don’t have to succumb to winter blues. Nuh-uh, not on our watch.
So it's Saturday afternoon, I'm sitting at the Happy Shed all on my own. It's farrreeeezing. Aaron is at home with the boys and I'm rugged up, typing as quickly as I can so my fingers don't freeze. But then inspiration strikes... I need some of my elixir... No, not a bottle of rum. I need my turmeric latte.
We get it, some days you’re absolutely swamped with work, family time or too ‘busy’ having a Game of Thrones marathon, all of which are totally legitimate excuses to skip the gym. But, if you fall under the category of loathing workout time and the prospect gives you a migraine, don’t fret!
