Our very own cosmetic formulator mastermind, Aaron, used to struggle with using deodorants back in his pre-Woohoo days as they caused extreme irritation under his pits – usually uncomfortable redness and itchiness. If you’ve been blessed with ultra-sensitive skin like Aaron, you understand just how difficult it can be.

Instead, focus on relieving your discomfort and repairing the damage that has been done to minimise the long-term effects on your skin. The cure-all answer is surprisingly simple: just cool and moisturise your burned skin with nature’s remedies!

In this blog we'll give you some guidelines for how long you really need to wait before you see lasting results from your skincare.

Reading product labels should be easy, right? So why does it sometimes feel like labels are written in an entirely different language? If you find yourself staring at product labels wondering how in the world you’re supposed to understand them without a science degree, you’re not alone!

Ingredients labels can be mind-boggling and there are *oodles* of ingredients claiming to be the best there is for healthy skin. To help weed through the confusion, here's a list of our top 10 superfood ingredients to look out for in your natural skincare. You’ll want to use these nutrient-rich superheroes in heavy rotation to keep your skin clear, calm, and perfectly balanced.
