Healthy Living & Natural Beauty

This month's beauty box has just arrived on our desk and here is a sneak peek into it...

We've all heard of retinol- an anti-ageing powerhouse promoting cell turnover, assisting with everything from acne through to fine lines, wrinkles and sun spots. Despite its benefits, many of us remain wary of retinol, instead looking for natural, botanical alternatives that won't sensitise already stressed skin.

Here is what everyone is buying in the Nourished Life office this Afterpay day sale...

Great skin starts in the gut. One simply cannot exist without the other. Our gut and our skin are in constant communication in a relationship known as the gut-skin axis. Messages are sent between our gut, our microbiome, and our skin via the immune system, the nervous system and the endocrine system to help keep our body working in harmony.

Unfortunately, living in Australia means we're pestered by flies, bugs, and mosquitoes year-round! Keep bugs at bay, but avoid showering your family in nasty bug sprays with these all-natural insect repellents.

Daylight saving is back with earlier nights and weather getting way cooler, we are starting to spend a bit more time indoors which frees some time for self-care time and more especially hair care time after summer.

Skincare is for everyone and should not be limited to any gender. While we often talk about skincare from a female perspective, the truth is that our huge range of skincare products work just as well for men! Skin thickness, texture or sebum production can however differ from person to person, so to find a routine that's right for you (or your partner), it's important to take into consideration skin type and specific concerns. Not sure what to look for? Some of our male staff have shared their favourite skincare picks below.
