The 'Good, Clean, Fun' Blog

It may be just us but it seems as though the skincare world has gotten lazy when it comes to products that help blemishes (pimples and acne, that is). Even though there are thousands of products, most use the same rather harsh ingredient: Benzyl Peroxide. Or if you want a natural option: Tea Tree Oil. Yawn!

Applying vitamin-enriched lotions and potions can bring fantastical results to your skin when compared to when you eat that very same vitamin, protecting against free-radical damage, lessening hyperpigmentation and helping mature skin flourish. Our favourite skin vitamins are Vitamins A, B3, C and E, and here's why....

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a pretty fancy name, but to put it simply it’s really just a large sugar molecule (i.e. a natural polysaccharide) that looks a bit gooey and sticky. It plays a really important role in moisturising your skin, keeping it healthy and hydrated. 

There are a select few ingredients in the skincare world that have cult status. They’ve transcended the fads and seasonal trends and are now the cornerstones of many skincare routines (maybe even yours!). One of these classics is Vitamin C.

If you’ve ever researched or purchased a skincare product that’s targeted at “anti-ageing”1 you’ve probably heard the words “skin renewal” bandied about. It sounds impressive, so surely a product with skin renewal benefits is good, right? Well, yes, it usually is. But not always.

We sit on the fence about this topic. On the one hand, we want you to always feel beautiful in your own skin, embracing your imperfections, perceived flaws and beyond. At the same time, we get countless emails from beautiful people all over the world asking for assistance with reducing acne scars, stretch mark scars, surgery-induced scars and more. So we're here to help!

If only we were all blessed with perfectly clear skin—not a blemish, dry patch, or red spot in sight!

Nope, that’s just not the case but thankfully there are a bunch of beautiful natural ingredients that can be used as home remedies to help a number of common skin conditions.

It was love at first sight. Or should we say love at first touch? Ever since we first heard about the South Pacific's “First Aid Oil” we knew we had to have it. We’ve lost count of how many happy peeps have been helped by this unique oil.

You might be one of the lucky 10% but chances are that you share something with the rest of us... cellulite. Yep. We may not like to admit it but 9 out of 10 of us have some cellulite somewhere.
