The 'Good, Clean, Fun' Blog

There’s just 1 thing we want to do today. We want to put a big, fat smile on your dial! You might have already guessed that we’re big fans of not taking things too seriously, so we’ve rounded up 10 things that are sure to give you a cheeky little giggle.

You’d think that being at home so much right now means we have loads of spare time take care of our skin, but it just doesn’t seem to be working out that way! What gives!?

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. You can imagine our excitement when we discovered that there's now a natural and safer retinol alternative.

It was a pretty exciting moment yesterday when we wandered down the road to grab the paper - a little birdie had given us a heads up that something really cool was inside…  it was us! ;) 

Can your mood really affect your skin?

The answer - we believe - is a big, fat YES.

(And vice-versa too… your skin can affect your mood big time! We’ve both had our fair share of skin battles Aaron’s eczema and Phoebe’s acne - so we’re all over this one.)

WHOA. Being a teenager in the 70,  80s and 90s was way more straightforward than today (anyone remember trying to keep your Tamagotchi alive!?). Teens and tweens are being bombarded by unrealistic images of perfection thanks to social media and, er, Kylie Jenner and have become slaves to their screens.

It’s with an *immense* amount of happiness and a few sighs of relief that today we can announce that the new Happy Shed is OPEN! Woohooooooo.

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind as we finished renovating and moved into the brand new, bigger, snazzier, custom-built Happy Shed.

The face oil versus face cream debate is as old as the hills but when you’re seeking complexion perfection, you can be forgiven for feeling a wee bit confused. Let’s dive in and shed some light on the benefits of each. We’ll get you well on your way to deciding which one is right for your skin.
