Australia’s only Naturopathically Formulated and Certified Organic Skincare
Summer is finally here, hooray! This means warm days and nights, lots of catch ups and plenty of beach time. It also means your skin is exposed to more sun and heat than ever, and can be left a little worse for wear if not looked after.
Here are my 5 favourite products for keeping skin healthy and glowing this silly season.
1. Glow like crazy
I love summer for the chance to wear my beloved t-shirts and summer dresses, and nothing gives me more confidence than having glowing skin on my arms and legs. I’m not a fan of tanning lotions and would rather simply accentuate the health of my skin with natural oils. My favourite way to do this is with our Ultimate Baby Oil which contains 100% organic ingredients. Calendula gives skin a touch of natural colour, and camellia oil provides a natural glow and long-lasting hydration. It also smells absolutely divine! This product is for babes of all ages.
2. Spritz it up
Our latest product, Ultimate Biome Spritz, is perfect for keeping the skin on your face healthy this summer. Vitamin C and green tea extract protect skin against free radical damage caused by the sun (and excessive Christmas spirit!). Probiotics help strengthen the skin’s protective barrier against pollutants and rose hydrosol reduces redness. I keep a Spritz on my desk and in my handbag so that I have no excuses.
3. Soothe with our SOS Balm
Occasionally I do get a little too much sun and it’s the Ultimate SOS Balm I reach for. It calms any burns and helps to repair damage straight away. Its intense hydration means that skin is less likely to blister and peel when sun is most definitely maxed out.
4. Give lip service
Our Ultimate Lips is so named for good reason. Its ultra-hydrating formula means that lips stay moist all day long and protected against cracks and cold sores. And if you’re after a touch of colour, you can’t go past our Rose Tinted Lips. No lumps or feathering, just pure natural colour. Perfect for those summer evening catch ups.
5. Repair skin at night
I LOVE applying our Repair Face Serum of an evening because its anti-inflammatory ingredients immediately soothe any inflammation I’ve got going on and keeps my pigmentation in check. It also provides the prefect base for make-up, and can be blended with your foundation for a lighter coverage.
Don’t forget to keep skin hydrated with plenty of water, and take advantage of the glorious summer fruits and veg on offer that will help skin glow from within.
Have a fabulous summer.
When my skin looks and feels good, I feel amazing. But this is not as easily achieved as I get older. The decrease of hormones available in my body in my current state of perimenopause plays a huge factor in how well my skin stays hydrated and how it looks. Progesterone and oestrogen play many roles in the skin’s health, in particular the stimulation of skin sebum (the skin’s natural oils), the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid (which keeps skin thick and plump), and the stability of the skin’s barrier (which affects skin sensitivity, amongst other things).

Our skin is a creature of habit and it loves a routine. When you suddenly change the products you have been applying to it – either by adding in products or by changing products completely – you will very often see a reaction in one form or another. This reaction can be either good or bad. A good reaction sees your skin improve. A bad reaction is very often a skin purge. Let's talk more about skin purges, why they happen and what you can do to lessen their effect.
