As the temperature drops deeper into the season, all skin types need richer and more nourishing protection and hydration just like fashion turns to thicker clothing to warm up.

Back to school means getting into a routine so that your skin looks its best. Sure, it will take some work but you can't expect to eat junk and suddenly wake up to a ravishing complexion! Here are a few tips to keep in mind while you embark on your studies. 1. Wash your face with an acne-fighting cleanser twice in the morning and twice in the evening and each time you sweat, such as after the gym. Just be sure to follow with a moisturiser since removing too much oil can result in your skin overproducing oil to compensate breaking you out further! A moisturiser specifically geared...

Many teens and adults alike don't realise that these celebrity 'ideals' of beauty go through hours upon hours of skin treatments, skincare, hair and...
You would think with all the spot products and vanishing creams on the market, we would see clearer faces in the hallways of high schools and secondary schools.
The problem is, most teenagers don't think about taking care of their skin. They think they and their bodies are invincible but the truth is, if acne is left untreated it's easy to pick at a spot and cause even more damage or worse - end up with scars for life. The good news is that acne is treatable and you don't need harsh chemicals to get the job done.
The first step is cleansing not only the skin, but deep down...

Lucky for you, Purity Boutique Spa are presenting their Skin Angels who will...
