The 'Good, Clean, Fun' Blog

Years ago, if someone told you to smear oil all over your face, you would have looked at them in horror. But sometime over the past few years, face oils have managed to shrug off their bad rap as pore-clogging, acne-causing “don'ts” to being recognised as an instant way to get fresh, dewy skin.

Your skin barrier is a super complex ecosystem of lipids, acids, proteins and cells. But there is one part that’s just as important which is often overlooked - your skin's microbiome!

The cosmetics industry is far from perfect, and (according to us), packaging is its biggest shortcoming. The unfortunate truth though is that there’s no perfect cosmetic packaging out there for skincare products like ours, and regardless of the packaging we use we’re always going to have an impact on the Earth. It’s just up to us to minimise that impact.

Up till now I’ve played it safe with my skincare experiments but this time I'm doing something completely out of my comfort zone… microneedling!

Even if you’re spending a lot of time indoors and avoiding some of the outdoors-y skin enemies like the sun and pollution, being indoors and staying at home 24/7 comes with its downsides.

There was once a time when we all believed washing our faces with soap and water was all the cleansing our skin needed. Then double cleansing came along, and our bedtime routines were never the same!

As human beings, we crave contact with other humans and right now that’s something a lot of us are having to do without. So today we’re writing this blog post to reach out and give you a big virtual hug and spread some love. Here are 10 ways you can help your community and help create some happiness!

Have you ever wondered just how we go about making new products? Yes? Well today’s your lucky day. You’re about to get a peek under the covers of Woohoo Skincare and get some insider goss about the creation of our new haircare range.

Yes it’s true - in Australia cosmetic products don’t need to have an expiry date displayed. But when a cosmetic chemist develops a formula the goal is for it to last *unopened* in the bottles on a shelf at room temperature for 2 years. Minimum. But how long you have to use it once it's opened is another matter.

Moth Bean - despite its very unflattering name - has some pretty flattering powers. Its greatest power lies in its ability to provide retinol (Vitamin A)-like effects on your skin, but without the side effects.
