Build Your Postpartum Skincare Regime With Augustinus Bader
Throughout my adolescent years, I experienced phases of moderate to severe facial acne, so much so, that it’s left subtle scars on my skin. Had I not been attentive to my skincare regime back then, the scarring would definitely be more apparent today. The funny thing about aging is that the skin is constantly changing - because of how hyper aware I’ve always been, it’s always my mission to find skincare products that are reliable, science-led, naturally-formulated and efficacious. One of my biggest skin concerns since I had my two children, is dealing with hyperpigmentation. I’m someone that rarely spends time in the sun, and I’m also someone that religiously applies sunscreen whatever the weather, so the fact that I began noticing a few freckles and dark spots really perturbed me. I soon realised that the hyperpigmentation was caused by hormonal changes after giving birth. After birth, some women deal with hormonal imbalances resulting in a decrease in oestrogen levels, which in turn manifests in melasma, dark spots, freckles, and hyper pigmentation.

With a growing number of people waxing lyrical about the physical and mental health benefits, it’s little wonder more and more people are booking this treatment.

The Power of Hyaluronic Acid for Luxe Skin
What Exactly is Hyaluronic Acid? Hyaluronic acid, often referred to as HA, is not as intimidating as it sounds. In fact, it is a skincare superhero renowned for its unparalleled moisturising prowess. This naturally occurring substance stands as one of the most potent hydrating components in the realm of skincare. Acting as a humectant, it possesses the remarkable ability to draw moisture from the environment and transport it to the upper layers of your skin, akin to a sponge. Astoundingly, HA molecules can attract water up to a thousand times their own weight, making them exceptionally effective at replenishing your skin's moisture levels and preserving a dewy, youthful complexion throughout the day. Interestingly, our skin cells produce hyaluronic acid naturally, striving to maintain adequate moisture levels. Unfortunately, as we age, these levels begin to diminish, leaving our skin less capable of retaining water. The consequence? Dehydration, a sallow complexion, and the dreaded emergence of fine lines and wrinkles. The good news is that there's an array of products designed to combat these ageing signs.
