Product of the week: Aevitas BB Finish 1 in 5

I used to think that good skin was down to well applied makeup.

That was clearly before I got a job in beauty. Make up is an add on, it’s not the core item. To achieve good skin, you need a combined process of meticulous at home care, consistent dermal appointments and a balanced, healthy diet and lifestyle. 

While it’s common for many teenagers or young adults to want to cover up their blemishes with heavy layers of foundation, all that is, is a bandage solution for a gaping wound. The focus, instead should be to heal the aggravated skin.

That being said, as women, we often want to look and feel our very best and an easy way to do this is with some cover up. Whether it’s to even your skin tone, diffuse redness/pigmentation or disguise a blemish – we want a product that is healing rather than harmful for your skin.

The new Aevitas BB Finish is a 5 in 1 product designed by Omniderm, a subsidiary of Dr Spiller Skincare. A skincare company is the perfect fit to manufacture makeup as it ensures the ingredients contribute to the health and vitality of your skin.

The BB Finish by Aevitas Actives is nothing like you have experienced before in a complexion product. It delivers the most even-toned skin finish with the added boost of skin nourishing ingredients that will protect, moisturise, brighten and firm the skin.

The product is Australian made and owned and the ingredients used are organic, natural and rich with active ingredients. The 5 in 1 BB Finish is jam packed with:

  • enriching Omega 3
  • 6 fatty acids
  • Antioxidants
  • Vitamin A, C, E and D

The product comes in 5 different tones

  • Illuminate
  • Accentuate
  • Titillate
  • Fascinate
  • Captivate

This colour adjusting and brightening formula is the equivalent of ‘health food’ for your skin. A hydrating, concealing complex that will achieve your coverup goals without harming your skin cells.
Aevitas 5 in 1 BB Cream retails at Face Plus Medispa for $65.00

Available at Face Plus Medispa Bondi Beach & Bankstown

Product of the week: Acnoderm gel by Dr Spiller

Anoderm Gel by Dr Spiller offers hydration calming benefits while protecting the skin.

In the event that breakouts do occur this Easter Long Weekend, be prepared to combat them with this incredibly powerful micronized gel from Dr Spiller.

This anti-bacterial and decongesting gel is designed to control the formation of blackheads as well as reduce the appearance of redness and any other skin impurities.

If you have oily or combination skin then this is a must own treatment for you. The Acnoderm Gel focuses on keeping your skin effectively hydrated so it won’t dry your pores out.

The ingredients are a combination of naturally found agents such as cinnamon bark which is antibacterial and rich in antioxidants but also active acids such as sarconsine, arginine and capryloyl glycine.

Product Ingredients explained:
CINNAMON BARK
An antibacterial essential oil rich in antioxidant polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins, vitamins C and K.
SARCOSINE
A biomimetic amino acid and by-product in glycine synthesis (another amino acid) found in tissue to visibly renew a softer, clearer complexion.
ARGININE
A biomimetic amino acid to visibly repair and strengthen the skin.
CAPRYLOYL GLYCINE
A biomimetic derivative of glycine, an amino acid found naturally in the NMF and skin.

So how, does the gel work?
It penetrates the outer epidermis layer of your skin. This allows it to absorb into the congested areas of pimples and blackheads to begin the activation process.

How do you apply the Acnoderm Gel?
At the first sign of a breakout begin using the treatment. Each morning and night after you clean your face and apply the cucumber toner, apply 1-2 pumps of the Dr Spiller Acnoderm Gel to the affected areas of your face and body. Allow the gel time to absorb before applying any BB cream / mineral make up or eye and night cream.

Ultraceuticals: Ultra Hydrating Lotion

The weather may be inconsistent but your skincare shouldn’t be.

Autumn is always a crazy month in Sydney. One moment it’s freezing cold and pouring with rain and the next it’s a desert dry heatwave.

The changing seasons not only effect our physical health but also our skin’s health.  The Ultraceuticals ultra hydrating lotion is a handbag must have Whether its boiling hot or freezing cold outside it’s important your skin stays hydrated.

In the heat your skin can often feel overly oily and in the cold your skin can feel very dry, that’s why during the trans-seasons it’s important to compliment both with a gel that locks in moisture without clogging up your pores. This product by Ultraceuticals slides on smoothly but absorbs with a matte effect so won’t leave your face shiny.

The best part is a little bit of this product goes a long way, so it’s bang for your buck. Users with congested skin that are prone to breakouts particularly love this product as it hydrates without aggravating the skin.

Ultraceuticals is 100% Australian made and owned so the product is designed with the Australian climate front of mind. Ultraceuticals also conducts clinical trials on all of their products and credits science behind their skincare. It’s important when picking a skincare brand to look for ones with active ingredients.

The Ultra Hydrating Lotion is formulated with powerful biomimetic ingredients to help strength the skin’s barrier function to provide immediate and long-lasting hydration so you’ll be ready to face whatever weather the day bring.

Jane Iredale: Amazing Base Loose Powder

We all know that good skin, doesn’t happen by chance, it happens by appointment, at home maintenance and a healthy lifestyle.

While we’re often very critical of what topical products we use, we seem to forget that this often extends to our makeup choices too.

There’s no point is spending your time and money on regular facials, night creams etc. if you’re going to clog your pores with artificial toxins for the majority of each day.

Think about it, how many hours of the day do you wear makeup? I’m up at 7am and my makeup is the first thing I apply before I leave for work. I’m often not home until 8 or 9pm which means that for 14 hours a day, my face is covered in layers of makeup. It’s important to choose a brand that is rich in natural minerals so it helps nurture your skin.

Jane Iredale’s products do just that. They are vegan friendly and cruelty free. The products are oil free and weightless so your skin doesn’t feel clogged up. It’s makeup without feeling made up.

A must have product of theirs in the amazing Base Loose Powder.
Amazing Base Loose Mineral Powder, SPF 20, Jane Iredale, $83

I apply this after I used my Dr Spiller Day cream blended with my primer and BB cream. I use the powder as it has a medium coverage to even my complexion but also helps to mattify my other products as I hate my face looking too shiny. 

The powder also contains SPF 20 to make sure my skin is protected at all times from the harsh Australian sun.

The best part about the Jane Iredale product is the texture. It feels silky smooth on your skin. The coverage gives the face a soft-focus effect which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores. It’s airbrush in a jar.

Next time you are having a facial at Face Plus Bondi Junction ask your dermal therapist to apply some of the powder post treatment, especially, if like me you walk out with a bit of redness that you would like to cover.

Beauty Chef GLOW powder: You Glow Girl!

Growing up my mum used to tell me it’s what’s on the inside that counts when it comes to female beauty.

Now, we doubt she was referring to Gut Health, but as your largest immune organ in the body, your insides literally do make a difference to what you see on the outside. That’s why it’s so important to focus on what you put in your body, just as much as you care about what you put on your body.

While there are a million vitamin brands on the market, the beauty industry has come leaps and bounds to formulate a one stop beauty powder to eliminate the need for a handful of tablets before breakfast. Glow Beauty Powder by the Beauty Chef is an easy, teaspoon a day supplement that supports gut health.

This vegan friendly bio-fermented formula is designed to support collagen synthesis, beautiful skin, hair and nails by feeding your gut a pro-biotic rich formula packed with essential vitamins and minerals. This delicious berry flavoured powder can be enjoyed on its own in water or in your favourite smoothie. Our go to recipe perfectly compliments Beauty Chef Glow Powder’s natural berry flavour.

Smoothie Recommendation (vegan friendly)

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • ½ cup frozen mixed berries (naturally rich in antioxidants)
  • ½ banana
  • 1 teaspoon of Glow Beauty Powder
  • 1 teaspoon of Chia Seeds (great source of natural protein)
  • Small handful of baby spinach ( great source of iron which most women are deficient in)
  • Sweeten naturally if needed

Blend together & Drink Mindfully
Ask your Face Plus dermal therapist about Beauty Chef’s Glow Powder.

Peel & Reveal: At home micro

Don’t you wish you could complete a microdermabrasion in the comfort of your own home?

Trick questions! You can! Introducing the two-step system by HydroPeptide, Anti-Wrinkle Polish & Plump Peel.

Unlike an in-clinic microdermabrasion or chemical peel the two-step process will thoroughly exfoliate without leaving your skin red or irritated. So gentle, you can use this system about two times a week.

During the winter months when the skin is drier maybe once a week or complete a patch test before you proceed to make sure your skin barrier is not compromised.
Following just one use you will see that your skin is softer with a healthy glow.

In the two step process the first step is the product labelled Peel1. Peel 1 is a scrub with a light yellow colour that has a subtle citrus scent to it. Step 2 labelled Peel 2 is a clear gel with no scent at all.

You begin by gently scrubbing the skin with Peel 1, you will do this for about 1 to 2 minutes. Directly on top of the scrub apply the gel and massage the products into your skin at the same time.

Once you’ve massage, leave it on the skin for 5 minutes allowing it to sit for a few minutes before thoroughly rinsing it off.

Powered by lactic acid, the polish and plump peel reduces age spots, fines lines and wrinkles while vitamin V and peptide protect collagen and brighten your complexion.

This powerful duo is perfect for targeting any of the following concerns:
Aging skin
Free radical damage
Sun damage
Aging skin – fine lines and wrinkles
