My journey to reach you…
Imagine with me for a moment…
Look into the mirror and tell me what you see. …
How do you feel when looking at yourself, and your reflection? …
We all have an image of what we would like to see, and then, what is our reality.
Let me share with you what I would love to see when I look in the mirror each day…
I want to see a reflection I deem to be healthy, with clear skin, that is plump, skin that holds back signs of aging, even with few wrinkles, and has a glow that radiates with a youthful glow.
Now, sadly what I see of course is not always the case, and I’m sure you can relate, as reality can at times, be very different indeed…
I believe we all want to look and feel our very best.
I spent years looking for the perfect skincare, spending $1000s of dollars on treatments, and all sorts of products. Cheap, expensive, chemical additive-based products, and natural ones, many offering to be that miracle fix. In the meantime, I also started to take some short courses to learn to make some of my products. I realised that I loved creating things from scratch, playing with ingredients and making up formulas. It gave me such satisfaction and joy. I’m yet to find the miracle magic bullet so to speak, (does not exist I say) although in the process I have created some great products and had strong personal results.
Over the years I have gifted work colleagues, friends, and family a variety of bespoke skin care lotions and scrubs. Now I want to share my winning results with you.
I agree with many health experts and advisers on the importance of lifestyle choices and exercise. Personal accountability for how we live is super important, and this has a flow-on effect on the whole body, including our skin. Every one of us is different. We live with different climate conditions, we each react differently to ingredients and have varying sensitivities, which results in individual skin needs. Hence, I came up with the option of creating a bespoke, custom-made skincare range, where products are formulated in four different base oils. This gives each customer the option to decide what would work best work for their skin.
Some of my favoured ingredients are lavender, peppermint, geranium and vetiver essential oils, as they contain antimicrobial, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. They are great for my sensitive skin and can generally be used without side effects for most skin conditions, particularly for those suffering from irritations such as acne, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, scarring, rosacea, and broken capillaries. Lavender is very calming on the skin, peppermint is cooling and invigorating, and both are healing, so you will find them in every option in the main range. Geranium is wonderful to use whilst pregnant or breastfeeding as it is deemed safe and gentle on both mum and baby. The lavender and geranium combination is found in the second range.
I believe a true glow comes from a combination of the right skincare routine, living a healthy lifestyle and some level of physical activity, including getting on an occasional sweat.
