Scorching hot days. Balmy nights.
Ah, summer in Australia. One of the best times down under to live, love and party.
However, our extreme conditions – particularly the heat and humidity – can wreak havoc on your skin.
Enter Bör Organics. Made right here in Australia, using one of Sydney’s reputable natural biochemists, the Bör Organics range includes a 100% natural facial citrus cleanser, daily hydrating moisturiser and nourishing firming eye cream.
The citrus cleanser is truly divine – it gets the job done and smells amazing. The moisturiser is incredibly effective, and worked perfectly well on my often dry but combination skin. And the eye cream. Oh, the eye cream. It effortlessly sinks into the delicate eye area, hydrates and restores, and I noticed instant minimisation in puffiness and dehydration.
Developed using ethically grown fruits, vegetables, plants, herbs, minerals and other organic food sources, Bör Organics captures the raw essence of Mother Nature in its recyclable and non-toxic colourful packaging.
Bör Organics makes the perfect base for your skincare needs – all year round (it’s definitely not ever leaving my bathroom cupboard again).
But what about when your skin needs a little more?
Meet Glamourflage.
We all know that our beautiful sunburnt country is the world’s driest inhabited continent and that the Aussie sun saps moisture from our skin, leaving it feeling dull and dehydrated. Prolonged exposure to both dry heat and air-conditioning increases the skins inability to retain moisture in the epidermis. But never fear – Glamourflage is here.
Glamourflage’s Fantastic Faith Rehydration Kit comes with 5 key products to keep Aussie skin velvety soft and hydrated. Boasting a rehydrating essence, rehydrating day and night cream, rehydrating oxygenating masque and rehydrating mist, the Fantastic Faith Rehydration Kit ensures skin nutrition and moisture – even in the harshest of climates. It’s perfect for sun-kissed skin, that needs some extra moisture and loving.
My absolute favourite product in the range is the rehydrating oxygenating masque. I’ve used a lot of face masks in my time, but never have I used one that goes on like gel and foams up over your skin. It’s absolute magic. It leaves skin silky smooth and super fresh.
So now your face and décolletage are well and truly sorted.
And it’s just your entire body that needs a little extra summer lovin’. Believe me when I say I have the one (yes, one) product you’ll need, for bump free pins and smooth arms.
Say hello to Australian owned and made, SODA & Co, that have harnessed the simple power of sugar in its range of all-natural and deliciously scented body scrubs. Available in Mint Burst, Orange Splash and Pink Lemonade, the range provides a nourishing bodily treatment by removing dead skin cells, stimulating blood flow and hydrating the epidermis for fresher, younger-looking skin.
As a natural source of glycolic acid, the sugary granules gently exfoliate the top layer of the skin and penetrate the epidermis to encourage cell rejuvenation for a fresh and healthy glow. Combined with vitamins A, C and E, the scrubs help naturally increase elasticity and tone skin while soothing redness, dryness and scarring for a smoother, more even complexion.
And they smell amazing. The oils within the scrubs also moisturise your skin, so I’ve found no need for extra moisturiser upon getting out of the shower – don’t we love a wonder product?
Happy summer, babes.
