The 'Good, Clean, Fun' Blog

If you’re all over this men’s skincare caper then you already know how important it is for men to moisturise. But if you’re still on the learning curve I’m here to give you a bit of insight into your body’s largest organ. If you want to keep it in good shape, moisturising is something you shouldn’t skimp on.

While moisturising your face isn’t quite rocket science, there’s definitely an art to it! When done right, you’ll get more bang for your buck because you’ll need less product and it’ll actually work better. Sound good? Thought so ;)

There’s some pretty heavy stuff going down right now so we wanted to take some time to share some good news and some not-so-good news. Things in the Aussie recycling world aren’t all rosy at the moment. We don’t actually have the facilities in Australia to recycle a lot of the plastics that we’re using, and right now we don’t really have anyone to recycle them for us either.

It occurred to us the other day that we’ve never really given you a peek into the everyday going-ons of our Happy HQ (where all the magic happens!). Though it’s nowhere near as glamorous as people might think it is, we thought it might be a bit fun to walk you through a typical day.

Given most of us are in a perpetual state of distraction thanks to social media and our smartphones (and funny memes… and MAFS...!), it’s no  wonder the Slow Food and Slow Living Movement exist. Now without further ado we’d like you to meet our most trusted friend of all… the Slow Beauty movement.

Over here at the Happy Shed we’ve been doing some asking around, and found out that only about 1 in 5 people use a tonic or toner (they’re the same thing by the way). We’re complete tonic devotees so we were totally surprised by this. Are you on the tonic bandwagon? (If you’re not, read on, these tonics are good stuff!).

It’s Step #1 in our skincare routine - cleanse. Not rocket science. Agreed? Actually…. there’s more to cleansing than you might realise. And if you’re doing it wrong then you run the risk of the rest of your routine not being as effective as it could be.

When it comes to our happy little world, the men are definitely outnumbered. There’s a heck of a lot of girl power behind Woohoo Skincare, and today we want to give you a glimpse at the phenomenal team responsible for making your skin (and you, we hope!) so ridiculously happy.

The thing is, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all serum. A serum is where you get a chance to deliver an absolute bucket load of active and beneficial ingredients to your skin. Since your skin is unique, you need a serum that helps your unique skin concerns.

If we asked you “Have you ever kept a skin diary?”, I’m sure we’d be met with oodles of puzzled faces staring back at screens all over Australia (and the world!).

Yes, it does sound a little bizarre at first, but it can be SUPER helpful, especially if you’ve got problem skin.

You see, 99% of problem skin doesn’t just happen on its own. It’s triggered by other things in your life.

We wanted to ramble about something pretty important today. It’s important because it has to do with how you feel about yourself, and how happy you are just being you. Here goes… The idea of perfect skin is a myth. What!? Yup. We know. That’s the last thing you expected to hear from a skincare company, right?

When it comes to skincare, knowing your skin type is just about as important as knowing your name. You won’t get very far without it! Using products for the wrong skin type could mean even the very best ingredients mother nature has created could cause dryness, oiliness, breakouts or even irritation. Ugh. No thanks.
