Post-Summer Skin Revival

From beach days to evening swims, summer can be deliciously carefree, but when the warm weather fades, the toll Australia’s harsh sun has had on our skin can be all too obvious.

Often, the sun’s rays and summer sweat, grease and grime can leave us with issues like acne or abnormally dry, irritated, sensitive or unevenly toned skin.

If you’re dealing with any of these symptoms, your skin barrier needs repair.

Post-summer skin recovery

When skin is inflamed or aggravated, the last thing it needs to contend with is toxic chemicals, which can exacerbate issues.

Help your skin bounce back by turning to products that regenerate, nourish and soothe.

The power of the Kakadu plum

An Australian superfruit used for thousands of years for its medicinal properties, the Kakadu plum has the highest recorded natural amount of vitamin C of any food in the world.

As the most abundant antioxidant in human skin, vitamin C plays a key role in skin growth and repair. It’s especially good at tackling photoaging (premature skin ageing caused by ongoing exposure to UV rays), and can reduce the breakdown of collagen, which keeps skin firm and elastic. Research also shows that Kakadu Plum has skin lightening and anti-pigmentation properties.

Kakadu plum also contains:

• Folate – essential for growing & repairing cells and tissue.
• Vitamin E – which reduces cell damage and helps skin stay hydrated.
• Ellagic acid – an antioxidant believed to have anti-inflammatory properties.
• Copper – which upregulates collagen and synthesises & stabilises skin proteins.
• Other skin-health essentials like calcium and lutein.

Rebuilding your skin barrier

After months of UV exposure and ahead of winter, ensuring your skin barrier is healthy is crucial!

In Awe’s 100% natural, Australian Made Kakadu Plum & Beeswax ointment rehydrates skin and supports its healing while soothing and calming irritated areas.

It does this not only thanks to kakadu plum extract, but also the anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory properties of purified beeswax. Beeswax is packed with vitamin A (which helps regenerate skin, enhance wound healing and reduce wrinkles) and is known to decrease water loss from the skin, as well as soften it.

In Awe’s Kakadu Plum & Beeswax Ointment contains no petroleum/petrochemicals, parabens or gluten, making it a gentle and safe daily skincare solution.

Looking Ahead

If your skin suffered this past summer, it’s wise to plan ahead for the next one.
