REVIVE YOUR ROUTINE
By Nateisha Scott
It’s the first full week into the new year and no doubt back into a work mode. Officially dusting off the last of the festive food and getting yourself into gear for 2020. With a new year comes an abundance of new year resolutions and a fresh set of goals for the year, an area that also sees a revival is your beauty routine. With a revival of your routine we’re talking about adopting key steps into your regime to get the best from your skin.
1. Opt for a thorough cleanse
When considering a fresh start, it warrants the time for a reboot and that also includes your skincare. A great place to begin and kickstart your routine is to double cleanse both thoroughly and effectively. Dermatologists and facialists swear by the power of double cleansing and its effectiveness in removing daily impurities but also getting into the pores and removing the oil and build up. As a new habit to pick up, double cleansing should be at the top of your updated skin routine.
Exfolactic Cleanser
A gentle exfoliating AHA cleanser that resurfaces and clarifies without irritating the skin.
Vitamin C Brightening Cleanser
The powerful brightening cleanser that corrects dull and uneven complexions. Targeted to reduce discolouration and flushing.
Cryo Pre-activated Toning Cleanser
A dual action cleanser that cleanses and tones the skin, by exfoliating, retexturing and brightening to leave a smooth and energised complexion.
NAC Y2 Restorative Cleaning Balm
A gentle balm-to-milk cleanser that removes make-up and daily impurities while hydrating, rebalancing and soothing irritation.
2. Brighten the under eyes
Dark circles or puffy under-eyes are tell-tale signs of fatigue, stress or a burn out. Whilst the holidays may have provided you with some rest, the chaos around the holiday season can make the return into the new year as though you haven’t had much rest. As this can be the case for many, there are a few products that you can apply to counteract the shadows and brighten the under eyes.
Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel
The powerful under eye solution that reduces the visible appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and undereye darkness.
Celestial Black Diamond Contour Gel
A peptide packed treatment gel that has been designed to focus on deep-set lines and wrinkles that is due to loss of elasticity.

Designed to combat puffy and tired-looking eyes. A two-step wonder treatment that tackles dark circles, puffiness and a lacklustre orbital area.
Celestial Black Diamond Eye Cream
A rich and powerful anti-ageing formula that is designed to treat advanced signs of ageing around the orbital area.
3. Revive the skin
For when your skin is feeling tired and lacklustre in general, applying heavier and richer products to the skin will help to revive and rejuvenate a tired complexion. Working denser moisturisers or oils into the skin will not only provide a substancial treatment but will also hydrate, protect and enrich the skin.
4. Go for a glowing base
Aside from skincare, applying cosmetic products to help lift the complexion is a great final step in reviving your skin. Working with illuminating and brightening base products will offer a helping hand in the strive for dewy, fresh and glowing skin. Implementing illuminating products to your make up base is a great addition after a thorough skin routine.
Mask
Sometimes your skin needs a pick me up and a great way to do that is to apply a face mask to your routine. Whether your skin needs nourishing, brightening, hydrating or toning, our masks create the ultimate treatment for the skin. Whether Celestial Black Diamond Lifting and Firming Treatment Mask, Bio Cellulose Facial Treatment Mask, Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask or Anti-Blemish Bio Cellulose Facial Mask, our facial treatment masks will fulfil all your niche skincare needs.
The Body
Focusing on your skin as well as your mind is important but the vehicle driving these also needs to be in top condition. From exercise to body treatments, ensure you are heading into the new year fit and strong.
Digital Detox
A trend that has increased in popularity in the last year has to be a social media break or more commonly known as a ‘Digital Detox’. The 24/7 attention that is curated around social media and the digital space in general has caused a huge increase of concern around wellness. Use the first few weeks of January as a way to escape the consciousness of social media and stay rooted in the IRL.
Try Something New
January is key for new year resolutions and creating new goals to achieve and one goal that should be on you 2020 agenda is to try something new. Take each week or each month and dedicate time to a new hobby that will open your mind and skills in the new year. Whether you decide to read more, invest in podcasts or trail new lifestyle classes, each new hobby will expose you to a moment of growth.
Clear & Open Spaces
As cliché as it might sound ‘a tidy space is a tidy mind’, working, living or even breathing in clear and open spaces does wonders for your mind. Taking Marie Kondo’s work from ‘The Art of Tidying Up’ as a concept for the new year, clearing out the old and decluttering your space works for decluttering your mind. Start your year on the right foot, clear and open.
The Mind
Focusing on your skin as well as your mind is important but the vehicle driving these also needs to be in top condition. From exercise to body treatments, ensure you are heading into the new year fit and strong.
Exercise
It is a given after the new year that you want to exercise and improve your overall health and exercise is the answer to that. Sign up to classes so they are etched in your schedule or find a new class to be obsessed with, either way, build up a sweat and burn the holiday period away.
Cryotherapy
Conditioning the body for optimal wellness, CRYO involves exposing the body to -85 degrees for 3 minutes in orders to restore and rejuvenate the body. Stimulating circulation and your metabolic rate, the treatment is the perfect addition into your wellness routine.
Cryo Heat
With similar connotation to CRYO, HEAT is a thermotherapy and infrared sauna wellness pod that utilises light to penetrate the skin. Encouraging skin health, detoxification, toning and deep relaxation, HEAT boasts a wealth of health and wellness benefits.
Body Exfoliation
The same way you would exfoliate your skin for a fresher complexion is the same way you should exfoliate your body. Using a polishing body product during your shower routine will alleviate and radiate your skin – slough away the dead skin cells and leave your skin smoother and polished.
