The Travel Edition: Jet-setting essentials!

Since we’re half way across the world at the moment scouting potential new ranges, we thought we’d theme this blog post accordingly! Here are our natural skin care jet-setting picks – so you can arrive at your destination looking glowing and rested; even if you don’t feel that way.

1. A de-puffing eye cream
As we’ve recently discovered, this is essential not only during-flight, but also after you arrive at your destination. After all, who gets enough sleep on a whirlwind holiday?! A good, soothing eye cream will work wonders for your tired eyes and make them sparkle again. Hello summer romance!
100% Pure Cucumber Eye Cream Gel

2. A revitalising and refreshing toner
Whether you use a toner as part of your every-day skin care regime or not, they are an absolute must for air travel. You know the red, blotchy skin you always seem to end up with after a long-haul journey? That’s due to dehydration. Drinking lots of water will help, as will using a moisture-injecting, skin-soothing toner like this one. Trust us – the difference on landing is incredible!

3. Makeup Remover
We know you probably won’t stick to your regular routine whilst you’re travelling – and we’re not judging you! Too many nights eating/shopping/partying/walking cobbled streets can take their toll on both your body and your motivation to take care of it. But there’s no excuse for not taking your makeup off at the end of the day – and your skin will thank you for it in the morning when you’re ready to do it all again. This little beauty will both clean off makeup and residue and hydrate the skin – so it’s a do-it-all product for those nights when you’re feeling a little lazy.

…Until next time xx

Our favourite multi-taskers

Who doesn’t love a product that can do more than one thing brilliantly?

Here are our favourite Eve Organics multi-taskers!

100% Pure Cucumber Eye Cream Gel = Soothing After-Wax Cream

This beautifully simple, soothing little gem is not only a cool drink for tired, puffy eyes; it’s also fantastic as a post-waxing treatment, to soothe skin, remove redness and prevent ingrown hairs. We’re serious – we’ve tried it!

 

 

 

Raw Gaia Clay Face Packs (Green/Rhassoul/Chocolate) = Facial Exfoliant

As well as withdrawing impurities, brightening uneven skin tone and refining texture, these powder masks exfoliate beautifully as you remove them; so they can save you money too (no need to buy an exfoliator to add to your regime!) – Simply pat on, leave for 10 minutes then rub gently in a circular motion in the shower, and whola – smooth, clearer, softer skin.

 

100% Pure Cucumber Juice/Lavender Honey Cleansing Facial Foam = Gentle Body Wash

The best thing about these simple cleansers is that a little goes a really long way! They foam as you dispense them, making application a breeze and meaning you use much less product. Because they’re so bubbly and easy to spread, they also double as gentle body washes, suited to even the most sensitive skins.

Do you use one of our products for a purpose it wasn’t made for? Tell us your secret! We’d love to hear about it.

…. Until next time xx

Coffee & Chocolate – Skin care just got tasty!

Their culinary appeal is well established – but did you know that coffee and chocolate also offer health benefits, including the maintenance of healthy skin?

Coffee is the latest cult ingredient in eye creams and oils due to its ability to reduce inflammation and under-eye circles. A 1981 study conducted at Seoul National University found that the anti-inflammatory properties of caffeine were comparable to those of aspirin; whilst an earlier study conducted in 1979 at the University of Tennessee found that adding caffeine to topical anti-inflammatory treatments significantly increased their effectiveness.
Caffeine is also a vasodilator (it acts to dilate blood vessels), so it encourages blood flow around the eye, which is what makes it so effective against dark circles.

As well as being choc-full of antioxidants (pardon the pun!), a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people who ate chocolate or cocoa-containing foods experienced lower blood pressures and small improvements in blood vessel response to increases in circulation. The research also hinted that chocolate lovers had lower levels of insulin, the hormone that controls blood sugar.
Because of its antioxidant properties (raw chocolate is the highest known source of antioxidants), chocolate acts to fight free radicals and stimulate circulation, and may act to decrease the skin’s sensitivity to UV radiation.

“In a double-blind study in Germany, women who drank a cocoa beverage high in antioxidants called flavonols daily experienced reduced skin redness in response to UV-light exposure—15 percent less than usual after six weeks and 25 percent less at 12 weeks—while a group given a low-flavonol cocoa drink had no change. The women also showed significant improvements in their skins’ texture and hydration, which the investigators believe were attributable to measurably improved blood flow to the skin.” (Allure.com)

If it’s gourmet, it’s our kinda thing!

As you know, here at Eve Organics we’re continuously and tirelessly researching the natural skin care market, on the hunt for new 100% natural skin care ranges to add to the
Eve Organics store.

As you’ll also know if you’ve ever received an order from us, we place an emphasis on decadence. We believe everything about skin care should be delicious – from the ingredients to the packaging. Like our slogan says, we stock ‘gourmet skin care for all skin types’ – so when we stumbled across a range named Gourmet Body Treats, well, we knew they were a perfect match for our philosophy.

The Gourmet Body Treats range is hugely popular in the US, and we’re proud to be bringing the range to Australian shores (and further)!

Of course, as per our requirements for new ranges, the Gourmet Body Treats line is 100% natural, alcohol-free, cruelty-free and beautifully presented. As if that wasn’t enough, the entire Gourmet Body Treats range is also vegan.

Some standout products (although they’re all just gorgeous!) include;
- the Clarifying Serum for acne-prone skin; an antiseptic and anti-inflammatory moisturiser containing vitamins B5 and A, neem and chamomile extracts to fight infection;
- the fast-absorbing, anti-aging Bio Hydrating Rose Cream, made with shea butter, vitamin E and the famous seabuckthorn extract; and
- the Sugar Cane Exfoliator, a miracle for those with enlarged pores. Made with sugar and fruit extracts, this refining gel removes dead skin cells and leaves behind beautifully clarified skin.

The range also boasts a plethora of eye creams, treatments, masks and solid cleansers.

We are so pleased to be welcoming Gourmet Body Treats to the Eve Organics boutique, and we’re sure you’ll love the products as much as we do!

We’ll be rolling out the full range by the end of May – If you’d like to be amongst the first to know when the Gourmet Body Treats products hit the shelves, sign up to our mailing list or find us on Facebook.

In the mean time, why not check out our other 100% natural products?
And, as always, if you have any questions or comments, please get in touch with us – we’d love to hear from you!

…Until next time! xx
