The Sandton Aesthetics Institute Home Care Range will blow your mind

Is it time to give your skincare cupboard a good Spring clean and try something new? Then I have the range for you. The Sandton Aesthetics Institute home care range blew my mind when I tried it the first time. And every time I go back to the SAI range, it does so again.

 Sandton Aesthetics Institute Home Care Range

Last Spring I told you about the product that changed my skin. I still stand by what I said:

The Sandton Aesthetics Institute Home Care Range will blow your mind

‘I feel like I don’t have the words to fully express how life changing this cleanser is. You may think that I’m exaggerating, but if you’ve ever had problem skin, you know exactly what it feels like when you discover the holy grail. And the SAI Glyco-Lactic Creamy Cleanser is mine.’

If you haven’t read my review, please do yourself a favour. I promise you, you won’t regret it. This cleanser is everything you want. And more.

The SAI Glyco-Lactic Creamy Cleanser isn’t the only product from the Sandton Aesthetics Institute that left me in awe though. Their products are really amazing and do what they promise.

Each product within the SAI range & their active ingredients are carefully selected & constructed by both Dr Clark & Dr Marks to offer not only the most incredible results but the highest quality standards too.

One of my favourite moisturisers has to be the SAI Hydrating Day Repair Cream. This day cream offers optimal hydration and leaves your skin feeling velvety soft and smooth. It works very well under SPF and foundation. It is suitable for all skin types and on my must-have list for Spring.

SAI Day Cream

SAI has a range of super serums. I’ve tried the SAI Hydrating Hyaluronic Serum and the SAI Skin Calming Serum.  The Hydrating Hyaluronic Serum offers advanced hydration benefits and is a winner during the dry months and change of season. The Skin Calming Serum helps to calm irritated and sensitied skin and leaves the skin feeling incredibly soothed. It is a winner if you suffer from eczema.

SAI Serums

Two other products that need a special mention is the SAI Rejuvination Eye Cream and the SAI Skin Resurfacing Lotion.

The Rejuvination Eye Cream is a luxurious, smooth, silky, eye cream that targets wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness. If you use eye creams, you will love this one. It’s beautiful.

I only tried a sample of the Skin Resurfacing Lotion and boy, does it pack a punch. If you like active ingredients, you fall for this lotion in a big way:

‘With 10% Lactic Acid and 5% Glycolic Acid it enhances cellular turnover and rejuvenation. It has a rich base of aloe vera and exotic ils and butters that replenish lipids and provide excellent skin feel, especially for an AHA lotion.’

The Sandton Aesthetics Institute Home Care Range truly is a range that was designed with the health and beauty of your skin in mind.

The Sandton Aesthetics Institute Home Care Range will blow your mind. But not your budget!

The Importance of Cleansing (and a game-changing SAI cleanser)

If I could turn back time, I would go back to 19 year old me, smack myself across the head and say… WASH YOUR DAMN FACE GIRL! I cringe when I think of all the nights I went to bed without removing my make-up. I will never again underestimate the importance of cleansing.

The Importance of Cleansing

The Importance of Cleansing

Why is proper facial cleansing so important?

First of all, it’s gross not to wash your face. Think about all that dirt and oil that builds up during the day (and night). Add to that pollutants, bacteria and dead skin cells, and you’ll think twice before you skip that morning and evening cleanse. You need to remove these impurities from your skin and you need to do it well. Plus, what’s the use of using amazing serums, treatments and moisturisers, if they can’t get passed all that grime to do what they are meant to? If you wear sunscreen and makeup, you need an extra step in your cleansing routine. Not double cleansing? You should! I see it this way… you first need to remove makeup and sunscreen before you can give your skin a proper cleanse. I’ve recently fallen in love with micellar water cleansers again and it’s my preferred method of removing my makeup. Then I let my cleanser get to work.

How important is using the right cleanser for your skin?

When I was younger I couldn’t be bothered with which cleanser I used. I usually went with one that left my skin feeling squeeky clean (read: stripped). The ‘cleaner’ the better, right? I thought it was better to spend hard cash on a serum and moisturiser. WRONG. At least in my case. Using the right cleanser for your skin has an immediate and long lasting effect on your skin. Over the past few months I’ve realised that the cleansers I use make or break my skin care routine. Make the effort to find a cleanser that works the best for your skin type and condition. I have and the difference it’s made is monumental. In the mornings I use a cream cleanser (favourites include the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and the SKNgentle cleanse cream – blog review coming soon) and in the evenings I use the SAI Glyco-Lactic Creamy Cleanser. This Sandton Aesthetics Institute cleanser is the most effective face wash I have ever used and it has changed my skin in so many ways. Full review coming soon. I can’t see myself spending money on any other cleanser ever again. SAI has 4 cleansers in their range and if the Glyco-Lactic Creamy Cleanse is anything to go by, you can’t go wrong with any of them.

Game-changing SAI cleansers

Game-changing SAI cleansers

SAI Glyco-Lactic Creamy Cleanser

Our Glyco-Lactic Creamy Cleanser is SLS free & perfect for all skin types. This cleanser boasts incredible exfoliating properties & is ideal for those wishing to improve the texture & appearance of their skin without altering their skin pH. An added benefit is that this chemical exfoliation will strengthen the skin while increasing collagen and elastin production

SAI Glyco-Lactic Cleanser Intense

By incorporating a higher concentration of Glycolic Acid this cleanser could be considered a little more aggressive in removing dead skin cells & for cellular turnover. Only the purest AHA imported from the USA is used to ensure product safety & comfort for those wishing to kick-start their skin back to a more youthful state.

SAI Gentle Cleanser

A natural and gentle face wash that is designed to prevent irritation. Suited to those with sensitive skin and normal skin types. Formulated with natural surfactants that gently degrease wthout stripping the skin and compromising the barrier.

SAI AHA Purifying Cleanser

Designed to reduce sebaceous secretion but also ease redness & inflammation associated with oily & acne skin types our SAI AHA Purifying Cleanser is the perfect choice for those with problem skin. You still want a cleanser to improve the texture of your skin & stimulate a glowing complexion, but it must control oil production too – hence the addition of the highest quality imported Salicylic Acid. Finally we’ve added lavender & camomile essential oils to help calm & soothe the area for all day comfort in your own skin.

Fine tuning my cleansing routine has resulted in brighter, clearer, less sensitive and irritated, healthier and younger looking skin. If you feel that your skin care products aren’t living up to their promises, try to change up your cleansing routine – it may just be the change that you (and your skin) has been looking for.

Do you agree with me about the importance of cleansing? Which cleansers do you swear by? Tell me in the comments below. I’d love to know.
