Join us as we uncover the secrets behind these game-changing products and how they can elevate your self-care routine to new heights.

New Oil to Foam Total Cleanser by Dermalogica

Dermalogica’s latest multipurpose product simplifies your cleansing routine as it’s an all-in-one makeup remover and cleanser and, we’re impressed!

Dee: “This is my new favourite cleanser as it removes all traces of makeup with a single use. As it’s an oil-based cleanser, it’s super-efficient at breaking down oil-based particles such as makeup, sunscreen, debris, excess sebum, and pollutants but it doesn’t strip all the moisture from your skin. And, there’s no mascara residue – love it!”

To use, lightly dampen your face before applying the gel-oil. As you massage it onto your face and eyes, you’ll notice the formula starts as a golden gel-oil then, when you introduce a splash of water, the texture transforms into a luxurious, cloud-like foam, elevating your cleansing experience to a whole new level.

This Dermalogica cleanser is simple to use and effective – an all-encompassing solution that leaves you with a radiant and refreshed complexion.


Heel Perfection Unveiled: Scholl’s Expert Care Exfoliating Heel Peel

For the 1 in 3 people grappling with hard skin, Scholl has developed the perfect solution to get your feet summer ready! The clinically proven Exfoliating Heel Peel effectively removes dry and tough skin from your heels. The process is gentle on healthy skin, leaving visibly softer and smoother heels that maintain their newfound glory for up to 4 weeks with just one easy application. Say goodbye to filing and scrubbing – this AHA formula-infused marvel boasts Fruit Extracts for optimal results.

This foot-peeling mask works its magic by naturally shedding calluses, cracked heels and dry skin, leaving you with soft and nourished feet.

It’s normal to feel a slight cooling/tingling sensation during and immediately after use. The rough layers of skin will begin to peel within 2-7 days after treatment. It’s important that you don’t use a callus remover or pick at the dead, dry skin but, to speed up exfoliation, rub your feet gently with a clean washcloth while showering or bathing. Peeling will continue naturally for up to two weeks depending on the amount of dead skin on your feet.

You’ll get magical results!


Embrace a frizz-free and flyaway-resistant hair experience with Glow Lab’s Smoothing Shampoo & Conditioner duo!

In a world where humidity can be your hair’s nemesis, Glow Lab’s Smoothing Shampoo & Conditioner are here to become your essential allies. Sulphate-free and crafted with a blend of Betaine and Macadamia Oil, this dynamic duo is designed to tame and strengthen dry, frizz-prone hair, restoring its natural beauty, without compromising its natural bounce. The result? Hair that’s not only sleek but also strong and resilient, even if it has been damaged and is prone to breakage.

Why reduce frizz, you ask? Well, aside from the obvious aesthetic benefits of smoother and more manageable hair, reducing frizz helps maintain a polished and put-together look. Frizz is often associated with dryness and damage, and by addressing these concerns, you’re promoting healthier, more vibrant locks.

Here’s the kicker: Glow Lab’s Smoothing Shampoo doesn’t just stop at reducing frizz. It goes beyond by being a low foaming, hydrating shampoo that indulges your hair in a pampering experience. It doesn’t flatten your hair – you’ll still have your natural curls – it calms everything and gives a sleek texture to your locks.

And to keep your hair kink free, we suggest using a silk scrunchie like this one from Caitlin Crisp.

Glow Lab products are available from supermarkets and Chemist Warehouse.
