Notes on Adaptogens
Adaptogens are a sound place to start. These are, quite simply, natural plant materials (predominately herbs, though these extend to various roots and mushrooms) which help aid the body’s natural processes and provide support for mental and physical stress. Used in ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years, adaptogens are clinically proven to provide support to […]
Notes on Back and Body Acne
The bad news isn’t solely reserved for oily skin types, however, as back and body acne is also prevalent in the unlucky few who have barely experienced so much as a pimple on their face. Back and body acne differs a little from facial acne as it’s triggered when hair follicles become infected. That said, […]
Notes on Beauty Sleep
In fact, the stakes for missing out on sleep are higher than ever: not only does it impact overall wellbeing, it can effect skin almost immediately. Think dull, devitalised, lacklustre. By missing out on sleep, you are forgoing an opportune period of time to really repair and rejuvenate skin with a host of sleep-specific treatments. […]
Notes on AHAs
AHAs dissolve the bonds between skin cells, which in turn thoroughly sloughs away any dead skin cells. The result? The subsequent unveiling of the smoother layer of skin underneath. AHA’s are a wonderful alternative to manual exfoliants, which some may prefer to avoid as they find them too harsh on their skin. Unfortunately, AHAs are […]
Notes on Augustinus Bader
Professor Bader is an internationally recognised authority within regenerative sciences. Bader holds over 200 patents and peer-reviewed papers. It is this background that led to the development of THE CREAM. He was driven by the question: Why do some wounds heal without a trace, while others don’t heal at all? Whilst treating burns victims, he […]
Notes on Why You Should Be Sleeping On Silk
The advantages of sleeping on silk are virtually endless (Slip Silk Pillowcases are my all time favourite). Silk is incredibly soft and gentle on your delicate skin, which, as we know, we need to avoid pulling and tugging on at all costs. On the contrary, cotton fibres WILL tug and pull at the skin, aggravating […]
Notes on A Maximalist Skincare Regime
The most effective skincare regimes are those that are the most simple – though this doesn’t mean you have to suppress your maximalist tendencies. Just make sure you’re using them to your advantage. Yes, a maximalist and an effective skincare regime can co-exist harmoniously. My number one tip for the maximalists amongst us: more is […]
Chronicles Of Her · This CHANEL-Approved Facial Saved My Skin
New year, new me, same skin goals. At this exact time each year, I find myself slamming the breaks on to reflect, recharge and recalibrate my mind and body for the year ahead. I love party season (I’m an Aquarian after all) – that is, until it spits me out at the other end feeling […]
Into The Gloss · The Sydney Beauty Tour
The woman behind Nicole Warne’s wedding glow, and basically the reason Australian actresses have such great skin. By popular demand, she is even bringing it to LA in 2019. I had a bespoke facial, designed to remove build up and debris (read: NY city air pollution). For me that meant gentle diamond microdermabrasion, a lactic acid peel […]
The Hollywood Reporter · 6 Pop-Ups Offering Oscar-Worthy Facials in L.A.
The go-to facialist for A-list antipodeans such as Lara Worthington, Joel Edgerton and Rose Byrne, Grant has also become a favorite with in-the-know Parisians thanks to her one-of-a-kind Chanel Facials (she is a skincare expert ambassador for the brand) in which she only uses Chanel products. Bespoke facials with Grant (starting at $750) are two […]
