Do you love organic, cruelty free, natural, and free-from-nasties skincare products? So do I. And I’ve discovered a range that will knock your socks off. I introduce Skinfrésh.

Skinfrésh – It’s all about the health of your skin

Skinfr é sh is a South African face and body care range. Skinfr é sh products are organic, cruelty free, vegan and all products are plant-based and free from harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances and colourants. The range is formulated for all skin types and ages. Skinfr é sh believes that it’s all about skin health. And healthy skin = beautiful skin.

All the formulations are carefully put together taking all the properties of each oil, butter and essential oil into consideration to treat your skin no matter your age or need.

I received the Skinfr é sh Renewed Youth Kit a couple of weeks ago and I am super impressed.

Can we please chat about the packaging and presentation first? WOW. Absolutely gorgeous. The containers and labels are super pretty and the box that the kit comes in, is stunning. When it comes to skincare, packaging is not on my priority list, but it doesn’t hurt if a range looks good. I was so happy to discover that the inside most definitely matches the outside.

The Skinfr é sh Renewed Youth Kit contains a three step routine that consists of Renewed Youth Pre-Mist, Renewed Youth Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin C Serum and Renewed Youth Myrrh & Frankincense Face Mousse.

I love that the kit’s instructions are engraved on the back of the Frésh box’s lid. Very cool, Skinfrésh.

After a thorough cleanse (always double!), you spritz the Renewed Youth Pre-Mist all over your face and neck. This toner soothes, tones, hydrates and balances the PH of your skin.

Properties of the active ingredients:
• It balances the skin’s natural oils.
• It can help reduce the look of temporary redness.
• It helps to naturally hydrate.
• It has antioxidant properties that nourish and protect the skin.
• It can help prevent fine lines and wrinkles and diminish the look of existing ones by keeping the skin hydrated.
• Witch hazel has many benefits for the skin, including relieving inflammation, tightening, and minimizing the pores.
• Rich source of antioxidants and vitamins that may help protect your skin.
• Soothes and repairs skin irritations.
• Use as an active spray in between workouts to refresh and hydrate skin.
• Contains Aloe Vera to soothe skin and can be applied to sunburned skin as an after spray.

The mist feels and smells lovely and is truly a pleasure to use.

Whilst your skin is still damp from the Renewed Youth Pre-Mist, it’s time to apply the Renewed Youth Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin C Serum.

This is what Skinfr é sh has to say about their serum:

Hyaluronic acid is a natural molecule found in our bodies. It holds the key to beautiful hydrated, plump, and glowing skin. It holds the ability to draw in moisture from the air into the skin. But thanks to ageing and environmental aggressors our cells lose the ability to produce this at a high level. HA is critical in maintaining skin hydration, reducing the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, and giving your complexion a healthy glow.

Properties of the Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin C Serum:
• Anti-wrinkle properties – due to its capacity to retain large amounts of water, skin stays moisturized and helps to prevent the development of wrinkles, and fills in already present wrinkles to reduce their appearance.
• Skin hydration – keeps your skin moisturized and radiant.
• Antioxidant – helps to keep skin looking healthy.
• Prevents breakout of acne.
• Keeps moisture locked in.
• Anti-Ageing, anti-bacterial.
• Vitamin C for skin brightening properties.
• Encourages new collagen to grow.

The serum feels great when applied and after only a few uses, I can already see that my skin is benefiting from twice a day use. Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin C for the win!

Last step is to apply the Renewed Youth Myrrh & Frankincense Face Mousse.

This day and night cream had me a bit nervous as my skin has changed from slightly oily with dry patches to very oily over the last couple of years. Usually, a cream that mentions anti-ageing, tends to be a bit too rich for me. I was pleasantly surprised by this cream. It feels like it will be too rich, but once absorbed it gives just the right amount of moisture and care. It feels amazing. And it smells delish too. There have been a few days when it was a tad too heavy (this Cape Town heat has been crazy!), but I think it will be absolutely perfect during the cooler months. FYI: Renewed Youth Myrrh & Frankincense Face Mousse creates a perfect base for flawless make-up.

Here’s what Skinfr é sh says about this beauty:

Our Myrrh and Frankincense Face Mousse is a miracle in a jar. By combining science and nature, we have formulated a face cream into a luxurious mousse like consistency that is a pleasure to slather onto skin.
• High in Vitamin E
• The astringent property of Frankincense oil has many benefits: It tightens and lifts skin, this astringent quality also reduces the appearance of wrinkles and combats the loss of firmness. Scars and marks of acne and blemishes on the skin fade at a much faster rate.
• Myrrh Essential Oil is purifying, restorative, revitalizing, and uplifting. It maintains healthy skin and soothes chapped or cracked skin.
• The Face Mousse is extremely hydrating and soothing when applied to the skin.
• Thick Mousse like consistency but melts at body temperature.
• Skin Brightening properties.
• Fights acne.
• Restores the skin ability to produce collagen.
• Anti-bacterial, anti-aging, anti-fungal properties.

This range truly ticks all the right boxes and I’m ready to try more. On my wish list is the Exfoliating Clay Cleanser, Vitamin C Night Repair Treatment and the Brightening Face Oil. And not to forget the Multi-purpose Body Balm and the Citrus Blast Body Lotion. Okay, you know what… I want everything!

Pop on over to Skinfresh and have a look at their gorgeous products. And try to resist. Or maybe don’t…

Do you suffer from clogged pores and blackheads? You are not alone. I suffer with you. Now I know there are many (MANY!) things worse than clogged pores, but when I look at myself in the mirror, I can’t help but see all these not-so-tiny oil-filled pores staring back at me. But I found a product that helps… SVR Sebiaclear Micropeel.

SVR Sebiaclear Micropeel

I’ve always had biggish pores. And I’ve always had blackheads. Kind of. I could never really figure out why (almost all) my pores always looked like they were clogged and I had a face full of tiny blackheads, but when I squeezed them (when I was younger and not as wise as I am today), they didn’t look like blackheads.

After years and years of not knowing what was up with my pores, I stumbled upon this…

Beneath the skin’s surface lie tiny glands that create sebum, an oily substance that helps lubricate the skin. Sebaceous filaments are structures that allow sebum to flow to the surface of the skin. When the body overproduces sebum, the sebaceous filaments can fill up. They may become visible and resemble very enlarged pores. People often confuse sebaceous filaments with blackheads. Blackheads are a form of acne. Sebaceous filaments are not a type of acne, they are normal structures within the skin. However, the overproduction of sebum that causes sebaceous filaments to fill up and become noticeable, can also cause whiteheads or blackheads. (source: www.medicalnewstoday.com)

I have found a product that helps stop my pores (in other words sebaceous filaments) turning into little oil wells. My skin is clearer than ever before!

SVR Sebiaclear Micropeel is a gem

Sebiaclear Micropeel is a concentrated dermatological solution that unclogs pores and smooths skin. It is as liquid as water and delivers an effective combination of ingredients. This fast-absorbing essence is quickly absorbed by the skin for an instant clean finish. Its powerful effects stem from keratolytic acids for rapid, lasting action on pores, spots and blackheads, without compromising on tolerance. The delicately scented, non-greasy, non-sticky watery texture guarantees a refreshing sensation. It leaves skin cleansed and purified without drying it out, with tightened pores and a smoother skin texture.

Sebiaclear Micropeel helps with:
• Purifying – removes oxidized sebum and unclogs pores
• Micro-peeling – smooths and renews the skin, tightens pores
• Anti-blemish – soothes, eliminates spots and prevents marks
• Non-sticky, non-drying
• 90% natural ingredients
• Hypo-allergenic

This beaut goes for R398 and I promise you, that is not a hefty price tag. This product will last for months. Find yours at www.riekiemedaesthetic.co.za, www.absoluteskin.co.za or www.shopfomo.com and at selected beauty salons and Doctors.

Here’s to clearer skin!
