June's Inspiration: Mid-Year Recharge

Can you believe it, we are almost at the midpoint of 2018 *gasp*?

2018 has been a bit of a roller-coaster ride so far, and a well-deserved break is just what we need. Now is the perfect time to relax and recharge, to nourish and pamper ourselves before we conquer the second half of the year. 

So we rolled up our sleeves and got to work, rounding up the best Beauty & Grooming products we have got to offer. Check out the list below for all things you need to treat yourself from your head to your toe. (Spoiler Alert: None of them is "drink more water")

Short on time? Skip right to the end for the full list of products featured in this round up ;)


1. SUPER SEEDS BALANCE FACE OIL SERUM-INFUSED, Pera Skin Care, $46.00

This multi-functional oil and serum consists of 14 anti-oxidant and omega-rich oils, rounded off with a fusion of concentrated botanical flower extract. Each goodness-packed droplet will sooth and heal damaged skin, prevent discoloration, and leaving your skin balanced with a healthy, radiant glow. If you have dry, chapped, fissured or stressed skin, this oil could be your skin-saver!

Sea Buckthorn Berry Seed Oil - the hero ingredient in this product - is well-known as a natural cleanser and exfoliator. It also helps to heal rashes, burns, and wounds, as well as slow down signs of aging.

To make the best of this product, simply mix it with your facial moisturizer before applying.

2. HIMALAYAN PINK SALT SCRUB, Twig & Co, $16.90 [ships in 1-3 days]

Himalayan Pink Salt Scrub is one of the latest trend in skincare, and this natural blend of himalayan pink salt, oils and vitamins will leave your skin soft and hydrated.

This all-natural body scrub exfoliates your skin, detoxifies the body, soothes sore muscles, and stimulates blood circulation. And as Himalayan Pink Salt is a natural antiseptic, this scrub targets skin problems such as eczema, acne or psoriasis. Salt also absorbs excess oil from your skin, so do give this scrub a try if you have oily skin!

And at only $16.90, this product is a steal!

Butt Kickin' Deep Detoxing Coffee Scrub - Cinnamon Chai, Handmade Heroes, $21.90
NUTRI SUPPLEMENT DUAL ACTION MASQUE & SCRUB, Pera Skin Care, $66.00
Body Scrub, La Chinata, $25.52 (Save 10%)

3. BODY WASH - LEMONGRASS & PATCHOULI, The Natural Co, $19.90

Lemongrass and Patchouli is one of our favourite combinations of essential oils! Both are not only very effective at preventing skin infection and promoting skin healing, but also well-known as good natural toners and deodorizers.

Not only this skin-nurturing body wash has both lemongrass and patchouli essentials oils, it also contains a unique formula of olive and coconut oils, which will leave your skin not only cleansed, but also moisturized and glowing.

The calming and revitalizing aroma that comes with it is definitely a plus!

Also worth trying:
Lavender & Chamomile Castile Body Soap, earthoskin, $21.30

Golden Goddess Body Bar (Jasmine, Rose and 24k Gold Leaf), APSU, $16.00
Black Charcoal Soap Bar, SoapLah, $8.90

 

4. SWEET RESURRECTION NAIL OIL, Styx Organics Natural Apothecary, $13.00 [ships in 1-3 days]

Our hands and nails go through plenty of wear and tear on a daily basis and are constantly stripped of their natural oils through the use of soaps, detergents or hand sanitisers. It only makes sense that we dedicate one step in our grooming routine to our hard-working hands.

The Jojoba oil in this product's unique anti-microbial and anti-fungal formula makes it easy for the nails, cuticles, and surrounding skin to absorb it deeply and stay hydrated. It also strengthens your nails, prevents cracking and promotes healthy growth.

We especially love the simple but smart application: twist the end of the pen a few times, and easily apply the oil with the brush tip!

Also worth trying:
Amalfi Coast Hand Cream, Glasshouse, $39.00
NCLA So Rich - Pumpkin Spice, NCLA, $27.00
NCLA Mani E.R. kit, NCLA, $24.00

 

5. RHASSOUL CLAY MASK, ANIA Skincare, $52.00

ANIA Skincare is one of our first skincare brands, and it is also one of our favourites. We simply love their products!

This highly-raved-about clay mask consists of several amazing ingredients! 100% organic and hypoallergenic Rhassoul Clay helps to absorb grease particles and impurities, while the luxurious argan oil and Moroccan rosewater will leave you with supple, hydrated skin and a glowing complexion.

Using this mask overtime will reduce breakouts, blemishes, and blackheads, and even out your skin tone. It has even been tried-and-tested by the team at Naiise before! (Read our review!)

Just 5 minutes and you can see a visible improvement :)
