Beauty buzz

Skin and bodycare products we’re buzzing about.

Beauty bar

Soap just got a lot more exciting with the launch of Linden Leaves new cleansing bars, Aromatherapy Synergy and Crystal Crush, $10 each. These beautiful bars have been reshaped from Linden Leaves previous soaps so that they fit snugly into your hand.

Smooth as

Containing a formula that’s been perfected over three years – with influence from botanical-based skincare and solid scientific evidence – Arbonne RE9 Smoothing Facial Cleanser, $79 is a win-win to help to preserve and enhance your skin for a youthful appearance for many years to come.

Root cover up

If your regrowth is bothering you between hair appointments, Beauty Dust Root Cover Up, $40, offers a solution. The super fine mineral powder formula contains double-ended zinc particles, which work to ensure the product sticks to each strand of hair, disguising signs of regrowth or grey. It comes in six shades.

Citrus spritz

The steam-distilled extracts of bitter orange flowers, mandarin peel and lemon balm of Plantae’s Bitter Orange Blossom Spritz, $32.90, help to balance pH levels, improve hydration as well as freshen and brighten the complexion.

Bath tonic

Smith & Co.’s Bath Tonic, $20, transforms into a sumptuous milky bath soak when added to water. It’s enriched with almond and buckthorn oil, leaving the skin silky soft as well as hydrated. It is also fragrance free.

Archeus accolade

Archeus Botanic Repair, $14, has been shortlisted for the 2018 Pure Beauty Global Awards, which we think is pretty cool. It is a finalist in the ‘Best New Premium Skin Care Product’ category. It’s natural, vegan and a great aftercare product for cosmetic tattoo and micropigmentation procedures.

Shower buddy

An Ethique In-Shower Container, $20, is a great way to store soap bars. It has a lid and ventilated base to allow the bar to drain and dry between uses. Made from sustainable bamboo and sugarcane, it lasts for around five years before it naturally starts to break down – and when that happens, you can throw it in the compost bin.
