The 'Good, Clean, Fun' Blog

Imagine a soft, squishy sponge, not unlike your favourite comfy pillow. Except this one’s for your face. The Konjac sponge originates from Japan and is made from the natural fibres of the Konjac plant — think of it as the sweet potato’s cousin. This little treasure has been a staple in Japanese skincare for over a century (yep, they knew what was up way before we did!).

The secret to a routine that’s going to make your skin happy can often come down to a “less is more” approach. If you over-do it your skin will feel ho-hum. Here’s our guide to how often you should be doing all your skin things - from exfoliating to facials - to make your skin strong, clear and bright.

There was once a time when we all believed washing our faces with soap and water was all the cleansing our skin needed. Then double cleansing came along, and our bedtime routines were never the same!

The key to fabulous and flawless skin isn’t a fancy arsenal of pricey products. It’s knowing what your skin needs at every age. We’ll be the first to point out that everyone is different, and that 2 people born on the exact same day might have completely different skincare needs. BUT...

The key to an awesome skincare routine is selecting the right products for your individual skin type (nope, not pinching your mate’s face wash!).

A way to make your skin happy and healthy with one simple routine that doesn’t involve more than 10,000 products?! Impossible, surely! Nope... possible! Best of all you can get it done in the TV ad breaks. Whether you have dry, sensitive, oily or blemish-prone skin – there is a three step routine for you.

Layering skincare can be incredibly confusing because most people’s routines start with 3, 4 or 5 products, but we’ve seen people who use as many as 10 products for their morning routine, and a whole different set for PM. Golly!

Tea tree and Eucalyptus are the world famous Australians. Known everywhere for their antibacterial and healing properties. But like Ron Burgundy they are hogging the headlines. There is another that is worthy of top billing.

Whether it’s your fave Little Black Dress or a black Ferrari, things are just cooler in black. So before you slip into your LBD and zoom off in your black Ferrari you absolutely must get some black activated charcoal on your face, darling!

We’ve already got 2 breathtakingly-amazing cleansers, but with 2 more in the mix now we have a cleanser for everyone and every occasion. One even covers formal A-list events with its suave black attire ;)
