Greening Australia, soothing scaly skin, lipstick and moisturisers.
This month, we focus on all your skincare needs – from nourishing and hydrating to cleansing, rejuvenating, plumping and safely tanning. As well, we salute an iconic lipstick classic & share stunning new party hairstyles.
CLARINS CONTINUES THEIR SUPPORT
Clarins has pledged to continue its support of Greening Australia in 2021, continuing its commitment to “making life more beautiful, passing on a more beautiful planet”. In January 2020, Clarins Australia supported Greening Australia with a $100,000 donation in response to the bushfires that ravaged the country.
In 2021, Clarins is pleased to repeat this donation, committing a further $100,000 to the environmental organisation. Jerome Bellony, Clarins Managing Director Australia & New Zealand says, “The restoration is going to take years. Continuing our support of Greening Australia for a second year allows us to contribute to our focus on plants and restoring habitats for Australian wildlife and will allow for greater environmental impact”.
SOOTHE SCALY SKIN
If your skin is looking a little dry and scaly, the new Jurlique Exclusive Edition Rose Body Oil is perfect to nurture the skin and the senses. Naturally fragranced with the subtle Rosa Gallica grown on the biodynamic Jurlique Farm, the body oil features fatty-acid rich Safflower, Macadamia and Jojoba Oils that help nourish and hydrate the skin.
PUMP IT UP
As you get older, your skin naturally becomes less elastic and you lose fat in the deeper layers of your skin, causing it to look more saggy and creased. Some serums provide concentrated doses of ingredients that plump up the skin and help to address all the signs of ageing. Hydropeptide Power Serum has a combination of peptide complexes and hyaluronic acid – known to hold a thousand times its weight in water – as well as skin-loving ingredients like soybean seed extract and collagen-boosting Ellagi-C that work to visibly erase the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving the look of tone, texture, firmness and suppleness.
Thalgo Exception Intensive Redensifying Serum resculpts the contours, plumps the skin and fills out wrinkles thanks to its patented Marine Replenishment Complex as well as hyaluronic acid.
Comfort Zone Hydramemory Serum is an ultra-light texture serum with an intensive hydrating action due to a combination of hyaluronic acid and natural extracts to help protect the skin’s barrier.
Made with 96.4% natural-origin ingredients, Skin Regimen 1.5 Retinol Booster is a wrinkle concentrate with 1.5% retinol and silybin, a highly effective natural alternative to retinoic acid, and Longevity Complex, an exclusive mix of organic superfood extracts (spinach, maqui berry and wild indigo) and a high-tech molecule (carnosine).
CAMERA READY
New from Napoleon Perdis Camera Finish Loose Powder and The One Concealer help you to blur and conceal while allowing your natural beauty to shine through. The powder can be worn alone to smooth and refine the skin, or can be worn over foundation to achieve a matte finish. The highly pigmented creamy concealer colour corrects and conceals dark circles, blemishes and pigmentation.
SWEET DREAMS
An overnight mask is a great option when your skin needs some serious hydrating. L’Occitane’s new Immortelle Precious Overnight Mask can also give your beauty sleep a boost thanks to a healthy dose of Immortelle Essential Oil, known for its ability to help fight the visible signs of ageing as well as the antioxidantrich Immortelle Super Aqueous Extract and Dynamic Hyaluronic Acid, a unique form of low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid.
ROGUE ROUGE
For almost 70 years, Dior Rouge lipstick has provided suppleness, style and nourishment to lips.
Dior Rouge lipstick was first launched in 1953 as a bold fashion statement. Over the years, this couture lipstick has been recreated in over a thousand shades, always drawing on flowers as colour inspiration.
The newly launched Rouge Dior not only takes inspiration from the colours of flowers, it also features them in the formulation. The iconic lipstick now includes the protective properties of red peony, one of Christian Dior’s most beloved flowers, to help preserve the lips’ natural moisturisation and boost the luminosity of the lipstick shades. They also include extract of pomegranate blossom to improve suppleness and comfort, while shea butter provides intense nourishment. The new Dior Rouge lipstick comes in 46 colours, in four different finishes including velvet, metallic, matte and satin.
DEEP CLEAN
Mesoestetic is a world leader in medical cosmetics and aesthetic medicine, and they have recently launched a new range that focuses on facial hygiene. Cleansing skin every day is important to remove accumulated toxins and allow for better penetration of active ingredients. Mesoestetic next-generation facial hygiene range has been carefully curated to contain products with different textures and specific active ingredients designed to meet the needs of each skin type. In addition, the entire range is formulated with post-biotics to provide an effective cleansing, antioxidant, anti-pollution and biobalancing action, promoting skin flora and perfect pH balance in the skin.
GENTLE ON SKIN
Summer is a common time for skin breakouts as hot, humid weather means more sweating. When dealing with breakouts, daily cleansing and protection of skin is very important. Choose a gentle skin cleanser with natural ingredients like Elektra Magnesium Charcoal-Pomegranate Cleanser. The charcoal absorbs toxins and pomegranate has been proven in studies to inhibit the growth of acne vulgaris. After rinsing with warm water, finish off with Elektra Magnesium Cream for protection of the skin barrier with nutritious plant oils and extracts. The fats of the cream help the skin’s elasticity, as well as to hold moisture in and keep skin looking great.
POWERFUL TRIO
Ten years in the making, Skeyndor New Corrective is an innovative fusion of three action mechanisms in a single treatment – peel, fill and decontract – which produces an intense smoothing effect on the deepest wrinkles. The treatment’s three action mechanisms serve to fill the skin and rejuvenate it. The biological peel accelerates cell renewal and smooths the skin’s micro-relief, while the filler combines three natural lipo-filling substances to complete the redensifying effect and fill grooves and deep wrinkles, especially vertical ones. The decontractor reduces wrinkles, leaving the skin smoother, and uses dermolifting peptides to repair damaged skin. The new range has four different products for home application including Wrinkle Filling Emulsion, Wrinkle Filler Cream, Wrinkle Refining Serum and Eye Contour Wrinkle Filler.
“RED IS THE COLOUR OF LIFE.” CHRISTIAN DIOR
LIGHTSTIM LED BED
Currently there’s only two of the new
LightStim beds in Australia, one in NSW and the other in Victoria. Using patented technology the non-invasive treatment uses 18,250 LEDs to temporarily relieve minor muscle and joint pain, stiffness, minor arthritic pain and increase blood circulation to rejuvenate, repair and energise every cell in the body.
PERFECT PROTECTION
Just because summer is on the way out doesn’t mean you should slow down on the sunscreen. The key to picking the perfect sunscreen is to match it to your skin type and lifestyle.
Invisible Zinc Face + Body is based on one key ingredient: naturally sourced Zinc Oxide. Zinc is a mineral reflector that provides a protective shield from the sun, as opposed to chemical sunscreens that rely on chemicals to scatter or absorb the sun’s rays, making them great for sensitive skin.
We Are Feel Good Signature Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+, is a non-greasy, long-lasting, broad-spectrum SPF, designed for the adventurer by co-founder and skin cancer and cosmetic physician, Dr Scott McGregor.
People4Ocean(P4O) is a reef-friendly, biodegradable sunscreen brand created by reef scientists that is not only gentle on your skin, but also marine life. Reef scientists Austin and Louise Laing founded People4Ocean as a result of research about the impact that sunscreen ingredients were having on marine ecosystems and coral reefs that they had dedicated their lives to protect.
