The Sand & Sky Guide To Your Skin Situationship

You know that feeling when after eating healthy, drinking water, removing your makeup every-night-without-fail-no-excuses, your skin still hits you with a breakout? 

We definitely do. 

 

So what to do when your skin is calling the shots in your relationship? 

We’ve got you covered, with skincare routines for every sitch.



1. Skin type: Dry/Sensitive - For when your skin keeps leaving you read on

Are you putting in all the effort, and getting left with a flaky reply?

Sometimes tough to budge skin issues like dullness, dryness, and pigmentation just need a skin reset. Say goodbye to indecisive skin with our glow-getting Australian Emu Apple combo.

Meet the Mega Glow Kit. A two-step routine that tackles pigmentation and deeply hydrates, fighting fine lines and leaving skin even and bright. Don’t be surprised if your skin comes back offering you a rose.

Start by resetting skin with Enzyme Powder Polish. A gentle enzyme exfoliant powered by antioxidant-rich Aussie fruits, it helps to slough off dead skin cells and break down pigmentation clusters. Dermatologist approved, ideal for sensitive skin, what’s not to love?

You can use Enzyme Powder Polish daily, after cleansing and before serums. To activate this powerful powder, simply pour it into the palm of your hand, and add a few drops of water. Rub your hands together to create a soft, purple foam and massage onto damp skin in circular motions. Rinse off, and feel the difference.

Follow with Dreamy Glow Drops. With a unique bi-phase serum, it keep indecisive skin happy by deeply hydrating with a 5-type hyaluronic acid complex, while sealing in moisture with ultra-lightweight hemisqualane oil. Rich in Australian Emu Apple and Kakadu Plum, it fights free radicals to instantly improve your skin’s natural hyaluronic acid and leave skin looking plump and youthful. 

Shake to wake your serum, blending the bi-phase levels. Add a few drops to the back of your hand, and apply to the phase in gentle upwards sweeping motions. Use daily, morning and night.

2. Skin type: Normal - When your skin glow is ghosting you

If your skin just won’t respond, no matter what you throw at it, it’s time to reach for the heavy-hitters that guarantee a response.

Remind your skin what its missing with this powerful pairing:

Tasmanian Spring Water Splash Serum

Australian Pink Clay Porefining Face Mask

Start by deeply detoxifying your skin with our award winning Australian Pink Clay face mask. A bestseller for a reason, it dives deep to draw impurities and toxins from the skin, clearing congestion to leave your skin bright, even, and blemish-free. Consider it a fresh start for your skin, clearing pollutants and impurities while tackling free radical damage.

Mask up to three times a week to kickstart your skin transformation. Apply using the brush provided to dry, freshly cleansed skin. Leave on for ten minutes, or until the mask is white or dry on the skin. Gently remove with a warm, damp cloth. 

Fortify your skin with Tasmanian Spring Water Splash Serum. It’s our secret to stronger, healthier skin and the perfect drink of water after applying a clay mask. Strengthened with naturally occurring essential minerals, and prebiotic Sea Kelp to help repair the skin barrier it’s the first step towards balanced skin and real radiance.

3. Skin type: Oily/Combination - For when your skin is a serial flirt

If your skin can’t make up its mind, oily one moment and dry the next, this is your best defence. Set some boundaries for your skin, and its oils.

The Perfect Skin Kit

The first step to getting through to combination skin is to look at its cause. Oily and combination skin can have just as much of a dehydration problem as dry skin. As your skin dehydrates, often due to us skipping moisturiser to avoid extra shine, the skin starts to overproduce oil to maintain a balance of moisture. Cue: oil slick. For combination skin, we often see that our t-zone is super shiny, while the outer areas like our cheeks stay tight and dry. This is because congestion in the t-zone prevents the oil from distributing evenly throughout the skin, causing it to accumulate in the t-zone.

So how we escape this cycle? Oil regulation is the name of the game.

We start with gentle exfoliation. Our Flash Perfection Exfoliator uses physical exfoliation and chemical exfoliation to gently break down and slough off dry, dull skin cells that cause congestion. This leads to more even oil distribution in the skin, helping to bring moisture back to our outer areas and stop pooling in the t-zone. Even better, Finger Lime Extract in our exfoliator is a light chemical exfoliant with humectant properties. That means it attracts and binds itself to moisture molecules, helping your skin better retain hydration and moisture. 

Exfoliate up to three times a week. After cleansing, gently add a squeeze of our Flash Perfection Exfoliator into the palm of your hand, and massage into damp skin. Leave on for a few minutes to allow the Finger Lime Extract to provide gentle chemical exfoliation and Australian Pink Clay to detoxify. If you have sensitive skin, you can skip the massage and use it as a leave-on treatment. Rinse off after up to five minutes, and follow with your usual hydrating serums or moisturisers.

Because both our Pink Clay Mask and Exfoliator contain active ingredients, we recommend using them on different days to maximise results. 

Clear congestion and excess oil with our purifying Australian Pink Clay Mask. One of the most effective yet gentle clays out there, it deeply detoxifies and clears pore-clogging impurities to help balance oil levels in the skin.

Mask up to three times a week to kickstart your skin transformation. Apply using the brush provided to dry, freshly cleansed skin. Leave on for ten minutes, or until the mask is white or dry on the skin. Gently remove with a warm, damp cloth.
