January 2025 Newsletter
New year, same us! I am so glad to have you with me as we enter 2025.
Thank you for all your support.
While the entire year has been significant in many ways, October and November were particularly busy for me. I have been working hard to replenish supplies in the workshop, which is always a good problem to have.
We will be back up and running on January 7th, ready to cater to all your all-natural, sweet-smelling skin, hair, and body care needs
In the meantime, here are some key points for summer skincare:
🌞 Sun Pre & After Care 🌞
Harmful UV rays are at their peak right now, so remember to “slip, slop, slap, and wrap,” especially during the most intense hours of the day.
When you’re outside—particularly if you’re swimming or sweating—be sure to reapply sunscreen every two hours.
Your weather app should provide a UV Index, indicating the hours you need to protect yourself; in some parts of New Zealand, this may be as late as 7:00 PM!
After a day in the sun, give your skin some care with occlusive hydration.
Our multi-purpose Kawakawa Healing Balm can help soothe irritation, while the Kawakawa Body Lotion replenishes lost moisture and calms inflammation.
🧴 Moisturise 🧴
In winter, it’s great to use thicker and richer moisturisers to keep your skin happy and hydrated.
When summer rolls around, though, you might want to switch to a lighter moisturizer that refreshes your skin without clogging those pores.
Our Kawakawa Face Lotion was formulated to deliver plant-based nourishment that won’t clog pores on a hot summer’s day.
Staying hydrated from the inside is just as important—so keep sipping on water. Your skin will thank you!
🛀 Cleanse 🧼
If sunblock isn’t removed properly each night, it may block pores and lead to acne breakouts.
Ensure you double cleanse to remove all sweat, sebum, and skincare products you’ve applied throughout the day, providing a clean canvas for sleep.
Our Kawakawa Charcoal & Coffee Soap is a gentle option for all skin types as it helps absorb toxins and naturally detoxify pollutants.
