As winter approaches, it is essential to change up your skincare with repairing and nourishing additions.
I was recently invited to visit the beautiful Waterlily Skin Body Spa Concept Store on James Street, where I experienced their seasonal Superfood Marula Honey Spa Facial and enjoyed their gorgeous skin and body products.
While Waterlily's natural, active-ingredient products are the perfect additions to your winter skincare routine, their indulgent Marula Honey Spa Facial treatment is the most relaxing and revitalising experience for the skin and the soul.
Winter skincare essentials
Just as our bodies perform better and looks great with healthy eating, our skin looks its best from great skincare with quality ingredients.
According to Waterlily founder Michelle Reeve, the cooler temperatures and harsh conditions of winter means our complexion demands a richer emulsion to hydrate the deeper layers of our skin. Reeve recommends choosing omega rich plant oils, which are naturally high in skin protecting antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and phyto-nutrients.
Opt for a creamy milk cleanser like the Waterlily Palmarosa & Geranium Hydrating Milk Cleanser both morning and night, along with a crème and clay exfoliant every second or third day. The Waterlily Clarifying Fruit Gommage is perfect for refining and brightening while getting rid of any dry or flaking skin.
After cleansing, use a serum like the Waterlily Botanical Renewal Serum to protect your skin from dryness, dehydration, fine lines and wrinkles while boosting the skins immune function, skin texture and tone.
Complete your skincare routine with a repair crème for daily hydration. The Waterlily Green Tea and Rose Omega Crème is a buttery formula layered with omega rich soothing oils, anti-ageing vitamins and enriched with antioxidants to nurture sensitive skin to a youthful dewy softness.
Winter body care essentials
Often we focus so much on facial skincare that we neglect our body; I know I surely do!
The bodycare product Reeve cannot live without is the Waterlily Moroccan Melt Body Balm, “A molten cocktail of mango seed butter, shea butter, cocoa butter and coconut blended with six omega rich oils, vitamins and essential oils melt like silk into the skin leaving it supple, soft and super hydrated all day long”.
The Superfood Marula Honey Spa Facial
This seasonal spa facial is created by utilising superfood ingredients; a current trend within the beauty industry.
The treatment combines active natural ingredients and contains African marula oil, local Australian honey, beta glucan - a super nutrient which powerfully boosts the skins immune system while promoting collagen production and skin rejuvenation, super hydrating colloidal oatmeal, marshmallow root – to promote skin cell regeneration, reduce puffiness and redness and boost hydration, and a combination of vitamin C, A, E and B5.
Once I entered the James Street concept store, I escaped my stress and worries for an hour of indulgence. Prior to and during my treatment, Waterlily's beauty therapist encouraged me to be calm, relaxed and in-the-moment. I especially love how each product is luxuriously massaged into your skin, giving you time to take in the beautiful aromas. Although the products are fragrant, they did not cause any irritation to my sensitive skin, as all ingredients are natural.
As with any Waterlily spa treatment, it is impossible for me to pick a favourite aspect of the complete facial treatment. However the most unique point of difference, is the method of Waterlily's masque. The thick, warm liquid is applied all over your face, including over your eyes, which is just the most luxurious experience.
I left Waterlily feeling relaxed with skin that looked and felt rejuvinated, plump and radiant!
The Marula Honey Spa Facial treatment is a 60 minutes treatment for a cost of $140.
