Irritated, Itchy, Rashy, Eczema, Dermatitis or just plain stressed out skin?

October 11, 2016 Monique Finlay

We all know what it's like to have Stressed Out Skin.

The annoyance of excess dryness that causes itchyness, which makes you scratch, which then causes cracking, redness, inflammation and irritation leaving YOU and your SKIN stressed out and annoyed! EEeeek!

Maybe you or your loved ones get dermatitis or eczema. Perhaps your a Gardener, Chef, Mechanic, Painter, Nurse or Hairdresser and your hands get a beating. I hear ya honey!

The last thing that you want to do is smother your skin in Petroleum derived products which is what the base of a lot of those Paw Paw ointments out there. Neither do you want to just go for a Steroid cream, yes they work but are a quick temporary fix that cannot be used repeatedly without big negatives like thinning of the skin.

Well the way I see it, the best way to deal with your Stressed Out Skin is to ........

Time To SPRING Clean Your Skin!

September 7, 2016 Monique Finlay

Yes, our most favourite time of the year is finally here, SPRING woohoo!

That means the weather is warming and you will need to start to shed those multiple layers of clothes and show more flesh, Eeeek!

If you are anything like me then you rug up over the cooler months, covering from head to toe and things like a pedicure or leg wax are a distant memory and thing of the past. Even my usual routine fortnightly Facial Mask has slipped behind.

It's all OK, don't stress. Take a deep breath, inhale that lovely clean SPRING air and breathe out slowly........ Now is the perfect chance to get back on top or your self care. Consider it a SPRING CLEAN of your sacred temple, your body. ❤

The best place to start is with a Facial to refresh, renew and buff away the drearyness of those cold months. Now is the perfect time to deal with any winter stresses and damage that has resulted in dry, dull, dehydrated skin and cellular build up. It's super important to nurture your skin, your body's largest and most exposed organ, in preparation for the warmer months to come.

Shed the dull, dreary, dryness, it's time to blossom baby!

So whats the secret to beautiful, healthy, glowing SPRING skin?

We love water, just not in our skin care!

February 3, 2015 Monique Finlay

SO, YOU'VE JUST FORKED OUT YOUR HARD EARNED CASH FOR YOUR FAVE SKIN CARE PRODUCTS. BUT ARE YOU GETTING 100% PRODUCT OR A WATERED DOWN VERSION?

WE ALL KNOW THAT TO STAY HEALTHY AND HYDRATED WE SHOULD BE DRINKING PLENTY OF CLEAN, PURE, FILTERED WATER. AFTER ALL UP TO 70% OF OUR BODY IS WATER. OUR BODY CAREFULLY COMBINES THE WATER WITH NUTRIENTS FROM THE FOOD WE EAT AND THE RESULT IS MOISTURE, NUTRIENTS, VITAMINS AND MINERALS THAT HYDRATE AND FEED OUR BODY TISSUES.

Did you know that the bulk of commercial skin care products list Water or Aqua (same thing, just sounds flasher) as number 1 on their ingredients list. That means that there is more water than any other single ingredient in that product and often comprises of anything up to 90% of the total contents. Is that really what you thought you were getting when you bought that product? Probably not huh as you can get water out of your own tap at home for free right?

Are You Fat, Fake, Cheap and Easy?

October 15, 2014 Monique Finlay

As the saying goes "You are what you eat"

so please don't be Fat, Fake, Cheap or Easy!

Wouldn't you much rather be Real, Clean and Lean? I sure as heck know I would.

If your body is your temple then please respect it by fueling it with wholesome, nutritious, REAL food and not FAKE food, full of chemicals, preservatives and Genetically Modified components.

Exactly the same goes for your skin, your bodies largest organ. To have the healthiest skin possible you need to feed it healthy REAL organic skin food, without chemicals, synthetic preservatives or Genetically modified components. Your skin absorbs up to 60% of what is applied to it so please, keep it clean gorgeous!

Of course if you are "blossoming" then we have made it super easy for you and have taken all the hard work out of it for you.

For fabulous glowing skin you should also drink plenty of clean filtered water, eat organic, nutrient rich foods and ensure you are eating healthy fats found in things like Raw, Organic Coconut oil, Almonds, Avocados and oily fish like Salmon. Get plenty of vitamins, antioxidants and especially vitamin C from Berries, Pomegranate, Kiwifruit and get moisture from Cucumber, Celery, Aloe Vera and Watermelon. I know, like you really needed an excuse to eat more Watermelon!!
