L
ike most
things the
way we look
at skincare
needs to
constantly be
evolving to really understand
the relationship between what
our skin needs to support these
issues while delivering really
positive results.
Since starting in the industry
I have seen many changes in
skincare trends. People want
potent, natural products that
will show effective results
and actually solve skin issues.
It’s not just about what’s in a
product, but making sure there
are effective amounts that can
do the job.
The quest for smooth supple
skin has been going on for
thousands of years. Did you
know one of the earliest
formulations was 2000 years
ago by a Greek named Galen.
He created a moisturiser made
from beeswax, rose water
and olive oil. That recipe is
still used today and is called
a ‘galenic’. This mixture has
stood the test of time but as
the world around us changes,
ARE NATURAL
PRODUCTS
REALLY
EFFECTIVE
For Modern Skin Challenges
Like Rosacea, Hormonal
Acne And The Impact Of
Urban Living?
so does the need for natural ingredients
to work in different ways.
We are seeing the impact of pollution
and more recently EMF’s (Electro
magnetic field) from our phones, TV’s
and computers and our skin is not
coping. Through recent studies we are
seeing a major collagen breakdown
which causes a variety of issues like
early aging, flaky patches, spots, clogged
skin, red veins.
Historically people identify your skin
type as oily, dry or a combination to
find the correct solution suitable for
you. This is now outdated and to help
with these new symptoms, we need to
find a way to manage this all at once.
Hydration and healing are needed more
than ever. Power products do just that. I
pride myself in making sure that next to
your skin is a range of ingredients that
combine together to protect, nourish,
heal and hydrate.
Of course, the quality of ingredients
is so important, and how they have
been extracted and used
in the product. I believe
skincare is like food, it
needs to be carefully grown
and harvested and then
prepared properly for you
to get the best benefit
from it. Along with quality
equally important is the
quantity of ingredients,
especially when some
brands add an ingredient
based on cost rather than
function.
Our Hero Bee venom is a
great example. This costs
$90,000 a kilo, it’s more
expensive than gold. Many
products, especially those
in the tourist market, will
only have 0.001% which
is not going to have any
effect at all. We add 30
times more and that why
we get effective and
instant results.
