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.


The Rise Of Infrared Saunas

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. Read on for everything you need to know about it.

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.

Is Fasting the Answer to Reversing Ageing?
The wellness industry has been witnessing a remarkable annual growth rate of 5-10 percent, as more and more individuals strive for optimal health and a long, vibrant life. Amidst this quest to age gracefully, perhaps the answer lies in something much simpler than we think. For the past three years, I've been on a mission to regain my sense of well-being and vitality. Nothing seemed to bring me back to the state of harmony I experienced in my 20s. Was I in denial? Should I accept that being a mother meant lower energy levels and a few extra pounds around my waist? None of these options resonated with me, prompting me to delve deeper in search of answers. After days of research, I stumbled upon the Karuna Detox fasting retreat and was captivated by the glowing reviews. Described as a holistic retreat for the mind, body, and soul, it promised weight loss and detoxification—a compelling proposition considering my skepticism after trying various fads and seeking professional advice over the past three years. Call me negative, but my expectations were modest. Yet, I was desperate enough to explore any holistic approach available.
