My Alpha-H Skincare Essentials

My Alpha-H Skincare Essentials

Skincare has always been important to me, however it literally took years to find the right products that worked specifically with my skin. I went through some stages where products would work and then just weeks later loose their magic. Even resulting in dry skin, un-even skin tone, allergic reactions and breakouts. I actually believed that my skin was just always going to be a bit of mess.

That was until I was recommended the Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser. My skin improved from the first application and unlike other products I had tried in the past, it continued to have a magical effect weeks and months later. That was 4 years ago and I’ve used it every day, twice a day since then. I’ve also added a handful of other Alpha- H products to my daily routine.

There’s no denying that every girl wants beautiful skin, which is why I wanted to share this story. As well tell you the products which have worked for me. They’ve changed my skin for the better and if you haven’t yet found your own perfect skincare routine, I hope that they’ll have the same result for you…

Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser with Aloe Vera. This is a creamy three-in-one cleanser which is rich in Vitamin E and Aloe Vera. It completely removes all of your face and eye make-up whilst helping to correct the skin’s natural pH balance.

Alpha-H Instant Facial. This is a multi-purpose facial spray that helps to reinvigorate the complexion by refining the size of your pores, removing dead cell build-up and softening wrinkles. It also leaves the skin feeling fresher, smoother and firmer.

Alpha-H Liquid Gold. If you only try one product, try Liquid Gold. A skin resurfacing treatment formulated with a low pH delivery system to effectively diminish wrinkles, pigmentation and sun damage.

Alpha-H Liquid Gold Intensive Night Repair Serum. This is a high performance night time anti-wrinkle serum designed for both pre- and post-menopausal skin. Formulated with a combination of powerful age fighting ingredients, it works to visibly plump, firm and sculpt your complexion.

Alpha-H Liquid Laser Concentrate. This is a new addition to my skincare routine, which works to hydrates and firm mature skin. The serum has a light gel texture and is formulated with a low-pH delivery system to minimise signs of ageing. It will also make your skin glow!

Mondays are always the same; Snooze buttons, coffee and scrambling to get to the office in time. And, for the most part, reminiscing about the glorious weekend that was and looking for any reason to escape the daily grind… Well, this may be the perfect place to start.

Photographed in the wild terrain, where animals roam free and the sun beats down, the new collection from Zulu and Zephyr is a mix of multi-tasking, safari-inspired separates, perfect for any chic, sexy getaway.

Stomping Grounds Dress and Stomping Grounds Shirt and Shorts. To shop the current Zulu And Zephyr Ranger collection, and look out for additional pieces which will be arriving shortly click here.

Life has been so overrun with work and other things lately that I haven’t had a chance to focus on my blog in weeks. However the chaos is finally clearing and I promise to make more time to properly keep you in the loop. First, with the enchanting new collection from Keepsake The Label. A range consisting of fluid trench coats, flared pants, mini length dresses and off the shoulder styles. I have to admit, some pieces aren’t ideal for the cooler weather. However there really is no better time than the present to begin planning your new spring wardrobe. Especially one which features pretty pastel tones, softly flushed neutrals, navy and black. All imbued with a sense of romance, delicate lace, flowing silks and a deconstructed beauty.

My favourite piece from the collection is the perfect little black dress for the season ahead; The Much More Mini Dress in Black. Featured in the very first and very last image above. I love that this dress is also perfectly teamed with the Be Still Flared Pants for a fresh take on this current trend. You can find the dress and buy it for yourself at the Fashion Bunker by clicking here. Other pieces from this collection that I absolutely love include; The Shake It Up Dress in Navy . Tomorrow Mini Dress in Black . Not To Be Mini Dress in Black . Much More Maxi Dress in Black and the Chain Reaction Trench Coat in Black. To shop the entire Keepsake The Label Foundations collection visit the Fashion Bunker by clicking here.

There comes a time when you are just ready to escape your routine and head for a vacation. We all need to relax, reset and recharge; Ideally somewhere remote and wildly scented in the Mediterranean. Where you can spend your days lazying around and listening to the sound of the ocean. Unfortunately for me, my boyfriend is the one who will be spending the next few weeks between the coastline of Turkey and the Greek Islands. While I will be very jealous and spending my time stuck in a very rainy Sydney. Luckily, I have the gorgeous new Zimmermann collection above to evoke memories of sun-filled days and dreamy sunsets.

A range of their signature styles and timeless shapes. Each piece created in romantic prints, sun-bleached hues and monochrome palettes. With ruffles, scalloped edges, off-the-shoulder sleeves, romantic lace and an effortless, dreamy bohemian spirit. It’s enough for me to get stuck into planning my next holiday and my next holiday wardrobe. With the entire collection perfectly placed on any sun-drenched escape. The Zimmermann The Winsome One collection will be available from September, however you can shop their gorgeous current collection by visiting their website here.
