The 'Good, Clean, Fun' Blog

As you age, there are many delightful surprises that await you in your golden years. Wisdom, for one. Lovely laughter lines. Plenty of experiences to be had. And a few decades of memories (some glorious, some not-so-glorious). To keep you glowing, here are a few fun steps to keep wise skin in check.

Active ingredients come with recommended levels and other recommendations so that they are safe and effective. And for many of these ingredients, if that level is exceeded it can actually mean that product will have a negative effect on your skin. Just like Vegemit on toast, it's often a case of less is more.

While for some, stress manifests in the inability to sleep, hair loss or eating a tub (or two) of ice cream, another part of your body that takes a hit is your skin. That’s because stress triggers a chemical response in your body, which can make your skin more sensitive and reactive.

It may be just us but it seems as though the skincare world has gotten lazy when it comes to products that help blemishes (pimples and acne, that is). Even though there are thousands of products, most use the same rather harsh ingredient: Benzyl Peroxide. Or if you want a natural option: Tea Tree Oil. Yawn!

Free radicals are unstable atoms that can cause damage to your cells.

Applying vitamin-enriched lotions and potions can bring fantastical results to your skin when compared to when you eat that very same vitamin, protecting against free-radical damage, lessening hyperpigmentation and helping mature skin flourish.

Hello, it’s Aaron here this time. You haven’t heard from me in a while as I am usually locked away in my Top Secret R&D room working on numerous projects. We have a few new products on the way but mostly we are looking at updating old favourites to ensure that they are still on the cutting edge. 

What’s A-Beauty? It’s short for “Australian Beauty”, and it’s not just about a particular brand or a product. It’s more of a way of thinking. A-Beauty is all about products that are minimalist, hard working, fuss free, and kind to our planet. And that pretty much describes what we’re all about here at Woohoo Skincare.
