My Skincare Regime

It gives me pleasure to tell you a few beauty secrets of mine, whats works for my skin and what products I cannot live without!

- FACE -

KORA Organics

I have been using the KORA products religiously since they have been released in David Jones and have fallen in love with them.. Not only because Miranda Kerr created it, but because they are organic and have given my skin the nutrients it needs on an everyday basis.

The KORA Organic products are infused with antioxidant rich Noni, Essential Fatty Acids, Herbal Extracts, Essential Oils and Vitamin A, C and E and many other highly rejuvenating and replenishing ingredients. It is designed to nourish, replenish and re-hydrate the skin.

I think its important to understand what our body and our skin is telling us and have come to find this product has worked really well with my skin. Everyone is different but this is a product recommended for all skin types, its uni-sexand above all it is organic so it has no harmful chemicals that will harm your skin!

- WHAT I LOVE -

- The Organic Rich Body Lotion -

YUM! This is one of the most amazing body moisturizers I have EVER come across, 

 It has organically grown Jojoba, Noni Extract, Cocoa Butter and Macadamia to assist in reintroducing essential fatty acids into the skin while Plant Botanicals help soften and protect the skin from harmful free radical.. 

- Exfoliating cream -

The exfoliating cream is a gentle blend of organically grown Oat Flour, Essential Oils and Bamboo. It buffs away dead skin cells helping to reveal a smoother, revitalized complexion and makes your skin feel so fresh and clean

- The recovery eye gel treatment -

The eye gel is a high concentration of Organic Seaweeds (known to boost collagen production) combined with Noni Extract and Chamomile help protect and rejuvenate the delicate eye area. It contains Aloe Vera to cool and soothe, tired puffy eyes... I use this before and after sleep to protect the delicate skin around my eyes.

- Rosehip Oil - 

I use the Rosehip Oil on my skin before I go to sleep, It is these additional Essential Oils that work synergistically with the Rosehip Oil to provide a rich source of anti-oxidants and Essential Fatty Acids for the skin. Essential Fatty Acids main function is their ability to counteract the drying effects of sun exposure and other environmental influences that lead to signs of aging and age related skin damage.

- Soothing day and night cream  -

This moisturizer is enriched with Evening Primrose Oil, Chamomile and Betaglucan for nourishing and revitalizing the skin. The vitamins and Noni Extract provide maximum anti-oxidant protection so it is a pure and natural way to protect sensitive skin and reintroduce lost moisture for a feeling of re-hydrated freshness... I use this moisturizer after I remove my makeup at the end of the day.

- Tinted day care cream - 

I use the tinted day care cream EVERYDAY, it gives your skin a beautiful glow and constantly keeps it hydrated as well as safe from the sun with UVA protection.

This is what some of the products look like... and they all smell incredible.

(The descriptions are based on my personal experience and what I have found in researching about the products)

- THE ACAI BERRY -

This anti-aging skincare product uses the antioxidant-rich Açaí Berry Extract to protect and repair damaged skin, and is clinically proven to combat environmental aggressors, protect skin from the first signs of aging and discoloration, and repair environmental damage that’s occurred over time... AND the Açaí has been extracted from its natural environment in the Amazon.

The Açaí berry (pronounced ah-SIGH-ee), is one of nature’s superfoods, and it has an astonishing array of health benefits.  The berry comes from an Amazon palm tree that is harvested in the rainforests of Brazil and is full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids.

- LIPS -

Lucas Papaw Ointment

We all know Papaw as a delicious fruit, but did you know that it ALSO has the ability to greatly aid the skin? If you get really dry lips in winter, this is the perfect product for you to use to heal chapped lips! For years I have come to know and love the Lucas papaw ointment - I believe it is one of the best products on the market and I always have it with me in my bag, you will never catch me without it!

- HAIR -

Moroccan Oil

Being a model I am constantly poked and prodded with hair and beauty products - This obviously isn't the best thing on my hair, and, over the years I have come to find the best products to feed my hair the essential nutrients it needs to keep it looking healthy. I have been fortunate enough to have worked alongside some amazing hair and make-up artists in my time, so I am always learning what products work well with my skin and hair. But the best product I have come across has been Moroccan Oil...

I constantly have my hair cut every 4-6 weeks whilst also applying Moroccan Oil daily, this keeps it strong, healthy and looking really great... Moroccan oil is known for its heavenly, tropical scent, it is another reason for its popularity... It really does smell SO incredible. Moroccan oil can be purchased in online stores and in some professional hair salons...

- ON THE INSIDE -

Keeping healthy on the inside is what makes us GLOW on the outside! By keeping well hydrated, practicing yoga, exercising and drinking green tea it gives me the essential energy I need to complete my day - Whether I am on a shoot, working out, or even just on an every day basis.

Keeping Hydrated

Keeping hydrated is extremely important to me - I drink from 1.5 -2 liters of water per day, water plays a key role in every bodily function, circulation, transporting nutrients and oxygen,  including digestion, and regulating your body temperature. Water also keeps you feeling full so you don't have the tenancy to snack in between meals.. When you don’t drink enough water your body gets dehydrated and you begin to feel weak, shaky, drained and tired.. My best advice to all people who may get up at a very early time and find it hard to wake up is to drink HEAPS of water, it wakes you up and makes you feel refreshed and ready for your day. I am always the model that pops into the building that scares everyone at 5am with how awake and excited I am for the day..

Green Tea:

I love Green Tea - I drink decaffeinated organic green tea. It provides my body with needed antioxidants, it has lower cholesterol, assists in digestion, fights aging, and has NO caffeine - I don't drink coffee, I believe organic green tea is so much healthier for my body and doesn't make it reliant on getting that 'caffeine hit' to wake it up - I usually try to keep everything that goes into my body as natural and as close to organic as possible. 

 Green tea assists in keeping your metabolism working at a healthy rate, provides fiber, and by having lower cholesterol, it increases muscle strength. With green tea assisting in the metabolic rate, you have more energy and hoard less fat which contributes to your overall health and fitness... and it fights aging - who doesn't like that? 

I am so grateful to have the opportunity to share my passion about health and skincare with you, but just remember everyone is different and body types are different - Although I do genuinely believe that the state of your outside health is the direct reflection of your inside health. 

For example - GIGO - Garbage in, garbage out.. Meaning if you put garbage in, you will get garbage out!
