]]>Australian skincare has been largely ignored.
Yes Lucas PawPaw is an essential and we all probably have at one time owned an Australis product.
But if you think about it, what place makes more sense to develop skin care that addresses all issues, than one of the most harshest places on earth.
No country wreaks havoc on their own citizens skin quite like Australia .
And right now it seems the world has caught on to this and is discovering and falling in love with these new skin care brands that are all proudly Australian made and owned and most importantly, cruelty free .
So we’ve sourced three essential Aussie made skincare products, every girl needs in her bathroom drawer.
Note they are in order of how you should use them, not in order of how much we value them, cos they are all pretty special.
INVISIBLE ZINC RRP
Tinted daywear 30+
Natural zinc protection shield UVA & UVB
The harshness of the Australian sun is no myth , every year Australians face skin cancer and melanoma issues. Many Aussies, are used to regular skin cancer checks and also sadly some often end up having to get these removed, before they do any further damage.
Slip slop slap is an Aussie phrase embedded in every kids brain from school.
Even as an adult, sunscreen is still an essential part of every Australians skin care routine.
Australian sun creams and lotions are sold world wide.
Invisible Zinc, includes zinc, a high 30+ protection against UVA & UVB rays. Combined with a tinted moisturiser, this pocket sized sunscreen is quickly becoming an essential part of every girls daily skincare routine.
GO-TO
PROPERLY CLEAN RRP $31.00
A cleanser that actually, yknow, cleans.
Zoe Foster Blake has beauty blood, the former beauty editor has written two best selling books , dedicated to all things beauty.
And for the last two years she’s been quietly researching and developing her own skin care range.
Given all she's managed all this while raising a couple of kids im guessing this switched on mama may know a little about keeping skin care simple.
Go-To Properly Clean, is a must have, using plant derived ingredients
and being proudly cruelty free.
This foaming cleanser is fantastic , it's quick simple and non irritable.
You can even keep it in the shower and just cleanse while you are soaping off the days dirt.

FRANK
ORIGINAL BODY SCRUB RRP $9.95
The scrub that kick started the rank phenomenon

Yep coffee …….
The coffee bean is known for having many properties, but one of its lesser known facts is it prevents or assists in fading cellulite.
Coffee invigorates and keeps your skin cells circulating to ensure a silky smooth surface all year round.
This cruelty free product is a must have in every shower .

Check out these recipes you can whip up from ingredients commonly found in your kitchen pantry.
While oatmeal alone won't moisturise your skin, it is a beneficial ingredient in a moisturising face mask. Oatmeal is a humectant, which means that it helps your skin hold and retain moisture. When used in with other skin-hydrating ingredients, oatmeal can help your skin take on a glowing, appearance
Oatmeal Face Mask
Combine 1/2 cup hot not boiling water and 1/3 cup oatmeal. Allow the water and oatmeal to soak and cool for a few minutes and then add and mix in 2 tablespoons plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 small egg white. Apply a thin layer of the mask to your face, and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Then rinse with warm water
I recommend applying this mixture and lying down and allowing it to dry. Put one slice of cucumber on each eye and relax.
Have some fun with a group of girlfriends and do this together with a few glasses of wine. Great way to relax and have a really fun catch up!
More to follow shortly :)
