Beauty Tip – Access All Areas

However well cared for and glowing your face may be, if your hands and feet are not looked after it will detract greatly from your appearance. To keep your body beautiful, including your hands and feet, here are some helpful tips.

Tip 1:

The most important rule in having soft, supple skin is to exfoliate.

How to exfoliate

1. Lather your body with body wash

2. Apply Sea Salt Scrub or Stimulating Scrub and using circular motions with medium pressure, rub the product into your skin before rinsing.

Tip 2:

Rub essential oils into your skin including your hands and feet. Pay special attention to your heels.

Tip 3:

Use daily moisturizer on your entire body at least once a day.

Prevention is better than cure, so by using this daily, you are preventing your skin from drying out.

Important note: as our neck and décolletage are as visible as our face and also the backs of our hands, be mindful to continue your daily skincare regime on these areas.

The Secret Ingredients That Can Save Your Skin

The skin is actually the largest organ of the human body and absorbs high levels of substances that it comes in contact with. It is estimated that our skin absorbs 60% of chemicals it touches. Many more of us are becoming aware of what we eat in terms of avoiding synthetic ingredients so surely the same should apply to our skincare.

By using natural and botanical products we can drastically reduce the amount of chemicals we absorb.

It is very important when choosing skincare, to have a look at what ingredients are used because these will be absorbed by your skin. Our number 1 ingredient is Organic Aloe Vera.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera, Polysaccharides
Modern science has not been able to synthetically manufacture the polysaccharides in Aloe Vera. They are unique to the Aloe Vera Plant and provide the basis for many of the outstanding results to the body both internally and externally.

Moisturisation and cohesion

Most of the moisture in the skin comes from the deep inner dermis layers and goes out to the exterior through the skin. If you could create a barrier of some sort, and lessen the amount of water which is leaving then your skin would remain moist for a greater period of time. The polysaccharides in aloe vera naturally create this moisture barrier in the skin.

Penetration and Absorption

In independent laboratory studies it is proven that by using aloe in a product instead of water you achieve three times the penetration and absorption. Grace Cosmetics understands this, meticulously combining other proven natural and botanical nutrients into its formulations for the best results on the skin.

Anti-inflammatory

Testing has proven the reduction of pain, swelling and redness associated with sprains and strains as well as acne and a variety of the skin blemishes.

Protection from UV Rays: Strengthening of the skin’s immune function

When the skin sustains sunburn the immune cells in your skin are completely destroyed. Clinical study has found when the aloe gel is applied to the surface of the skin the immune cells were protected, providing full immune function. Also ageing spots were reduced with the application of Aloe. The studies also showed that Aloe provides the skin with constant rejuvenation and reverses the process of sun damage helping the skin at a cellular level.

Anti-ageing properties

Collagen is the skin’s basic support structure that keeps it firm and supple. When we age, the collagen production in the skin slows down, eventually ceasing. Inevitably, with age, and a depletion of collagen, the epidermis becomes wrinkled, creviced and thin. Many other cosmetic and skincare products, though promising anti-ageing results do little more than just hydrate the skin for brief periods. The production of collagen was not stimulated so facial lines and the evidence of ageing remains the same. However, when aloe is used on the skin, its penetration deep into the skin will stimulate the skin’s fibroblasts to produce collagen and reverse the visible signs of ageing.

Simple Makeup Tips Every Girl Should Know

Here are a few tips on going from day-time to night-time with a mini makeup purse.

Mascara, eyeliner pencil, pressed powder compact, lip brush with your favourite shade of lipstick and lipgloss.

Day Look:

Rule 1: Less is more

It’s worth considering laying off the eyeliner a bit and focusing on staying light and fresh. It’s younger and doesn’t look like you’re trying too hard to cover up your real face.

Rule 2: Perfectly groomed brows

Your eyebrows frame your face and it makes a noticeable difference when you have them groomed to perfection. Make sure you go to a credible eyebrow waxer and lay off the tweezers if you don’t really know what you’re doing. If your eyebrows are slightly patchy, try using an eyebrow pencil to work them into shape. Secret tip: if you’re not good with the eyebrow pencil, a brown eyeshadow applied with an eyeshadow brush will do the trick perfectly.

Rule 3: A little mascara = a lot of femininity

A little mascara goes a long way with a day-time look. It polishes the look and adds a touch of femininity that will draw attention to your fluttery features.

Night Look:

Rule 1: Say hello to liner

Be generous with the liner in the night-time look. It is dramatic and makes your eyes stand out in a crowd.

Rule 2: Play with colour

Add a little pop with a sophisticated shade that really enhances your eye colour. It’s fun, unique and it accents your naturally beautiful features.

Rule 3: Smoke it out

Use a deeper shade in the crease of your eye and smudge it out to reach the length of the line of the eyebrow. This dramatic smoky effect, when paired with lighter shades on the lid and highlights just below the brow makes for a picture perfect night look.

Keeping Cool This Summer Could Be Damaging Your Skin

With the summer months heating up most parts of Australia, it’s important to start thinking about taking care of one of our most important assets – our skin. Air-conditioning in offices and homes can severely dehydrate your skin by removing moisture. You may notice your skin becoming itchy, flaky or less supple – this can mean your skin is crying out for hydration.

We recommend an all-over body moisturiser every morning and every night. Just a quick application will ensure your skin is putting up its best defenses – and you’ll be left with baby soft skin in no time!
