ON MY DESK for this month of July 2018 features ideas for keeping gorgeous in the colder months and protecting your skin from beautiful natural New Zealand made skin care brands.
Resurrect your skin in winter with these targeted products aimed at countering oily skin: Juliet Skin-Brightening Gel Cleanser uses hero ingredient antioxidant Vinanza Grape and Kiwi seeds to inhibit melanin production promoting lighter and brighter skin.
Resurrect Clarifying Facial Toner is a slightly astringent facial toner to bring balance with sweet sage to minimise pores.
Worship Skin Defence Antioxidant Serum has been scientifically shown to inhibit oxidative stress in-vitro on human fibroblast cells by up to 90%, meaning it can counteract free radical damage and strengthen skin against early ageing.

Dry winter lips?
Healthy and hydrating Moisture-Boost Natural Lipsticks by Antipodes use avocado oils, evening primrose and calendula to condition and moisturise lips whilst adding rich colour. These vibrant colours are enough to brighten any winter day.
Forest Berry Red is a warm-based true red inspired by native berries in the New Zealand bush. Cool-toned Ruby Bay Rouge takes its name from a seashore bay at the top of the South Island of New Zealand.
If you love earthy tones, you’re in luck as they are perfect for Winter fashion looks. Pictured above are Queenstown Hot Chocolate in a rich brown tone, and Boom Rock Bronze inspired by the coastal cliff face at Cook Strait.
Chia seeds are not just for pudding! They are a botanical powerhouse of goodness for your skin’s health. The aptly named Goodness Skincare, from the company that makes Trilogy and Ecoya, makes chia seed-based natural skincare at affordable price points. It is all crueltyfree. Packaging states how often you use it. Pictured here is the certified organic chia seed facial oil, every evening cream moisturiser, and everyday cream cleanser.
