How To Care For Your Skin During The Holidays

November 30, 2017 No Comments

The holiday season can take a toll on your skin. From the tanning and swimming, to the non-stop eating and late-night partying, our skins can do a little freaking out! And since we’ve all spent time and money getting our skin summer ready, we think it’s just as important to care for your skin during the holiday period too. Hayley Kirton, Senior Skincare Therapist from Lightsculpt Clinic in Rosebank lists some tips on how to keep your skin looking it’s best during the holiday season: Keep your skin clean and moisturised: Never use soap on your face. Invest in a gentle pH balanced cleanser. Before going to bed, always cleanse your skin and remove all traces of make up, oil and sun block.

Say goodbye to dry skin forever, because there’s a new body scrub brand in town called Kahve Skin and we are totally obsessed! Kahve (Turkish for coffee) was created by two Capetonian guys who have a love for sport, travel and women.

QMS Medicosmetics Revamps New Generation Collagen Cream

June 20, 2017 No Comments

QMS Medicosmetics has revamped their soluble collagen creams that will leave the skin feeling softer and looking younger. Their soluble collagen cream is completely pure and natural, obtained by a very advanced technical procedure that guarantees it retains its inherent properties. The difference between this collagen and that of other brands is that QMS’s collagen can stay active and effective up to 37’C, while others have a short-term hydrating period. So despite environmental factors, QMS’s collagen retains moisture, protecting and nourishing the skin. The QMS Medicosmetics Day Collagen and Night Collagen contain a synergetic complex of native soluble collagen and hyaluronic acid with very high molecular weights. This compound has a high water-binding capacity, meaning it penetrates quickly, significantly smoothing the skin and improving elasticity. The depth effect achieved by the QMS Medicosmetics skincare system regulates and gradually reduces the moisture loss in the skin. This process allows the skin’s…
