Eco FINDS SEASONAL MUST HAVES
SANATISE AND Moistorise • Constant handwashing and sanitising is leaving hands dry and painful - give your hands some essential care.
Why I just love Flaxseed Oil… • Orally and topically, this oil has so many beneficial properties that it should be part of our daily diet and skincare routine.
Clean CLEANSERS • Cleansing is the most important and basic part of skincare. Without clean skin, your other skincare products will not be as effective. During the day, the skin accumulates sweat, oil, dirt, make-up, and other micro-organisms. All of these clog the pores and prevent the skin from renewing itself, thus accelerating the ageing process. Cleansing is therefore the first and most important step in any skin care routine. Whilst washing or rinsing the face with water may remove some of the superficial dirt and grime, cleansers are formulated to effectively remove oil, dirt and make-up that is embedded on the skin so that it can be flushed away with water.

Each season brings its challenges, not to mention stress and poor lifestyle decisions. Dr Yael Joffe has spent time researching how the immune system works at a genetic level and how this helps improve your odds of beating the bugs that affect our health.
The Bloom AT THE HEART OF OUR HERITAGE • When you think of heritage, you often refer to a language or culture. But as South Africans, we’re privileged to have another layer of heritage - the magnificent biodiversity found only in our country. The Cape Floral Kingdom - is the smallest of only 6 Floral Kingdoms worldwide but it is the floral kingdom with the largest botanical diversity.
