'From Autumn to Winter'

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. Otherwise, tiny cracks can give way to visible lines that are not usually there. Dry skin due to cold or harsh weather can also cause irritation for sensitive individuals which is why its also a good idea to choose natural ingredients whenever possible. Many people will find they need to layer moisturising products over a hydrating serum to stay hydrated. Even oily skin needs hydration to stay balanced and to keep...

Back to school tips for teens

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.

Is massage therapy a luxury reserved only for the ladies? Absolutely not!

Men can enjoy and reap the benefits of massage too, especially after a long workweek doing all that overtime! Some of the top companies in the world offer workplace massage because they know its powerful benefits including enhanced morale and ability to handle heavy workloads. What many people don't know is these benefits extend far beyond just the workplace. Massage reduces the stress hormone, cortisol and releases the 'feel-good' hormones, dopamine and serotonin. Too much cortisol in the...

What is TEEN Beauty?

Let's face it—teens are overwhelmed with pressure by mates, classmates and themselves to look like unrealistic representations of people who should not be role models. Whether they are trying to copycat the makeup look of a reality show sexpot or watching the most recent video of their favourite pop star's lyrical exploration about sex, many teens are just following the crowd—and looking much older than they should. 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...

See Spots Run

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...
