#memberoftheweek 🥳 Goes to Rachael Margach is the owner of Refresh and Rejuvenate Skin Spa and Beauty ⚡Refresh & Rejuvenate Skin Spa BeautyGet to know Rachael ✨
----In the South Australian town of Golden Grove, there is a wonderfully outfitted business.
Rachael's story will inspire you!Rachael, how long have you been in business and how would you describe the culture of refresh and rejuvenate?I have been in business now for just over five years. I purchased this business as an existing operation, which unfortunately had virtually no equity and was in dire need of repair and restoration. The business itself was running at a loss, however I could see great potential to turn things around. During the first 12 months of acquiring the business we worked on rebuilding it with the existing client base, even though many of them had left.During the second year we decided to remodel the premises including the furnishings, and we rebranded with a more sophisticated look and feel using soft, warm, flesh colours which we believed would be more inviting (previously the theme was blue and white.)Additionally, we extended our services by introducing new modalities to expand our client demographic. In terms of culture, we are about nurture and treatment excellence. We offer a variety of massage and body treatments through our spa division and grooming services, such as waxing and threading, hand and foot treatments, lash and brow enhancement and spray tanning.Additionally, we also offer high-end skin and age-management treatments including IPL, Fractional RF, Skin Needling, Ultrasound and Cavitation. In essence, we are a one-stop shop for nurturing and wellness treatments, grooming and skin improvement treatments. The only thing we do not offer is injectables.Read more in our APJ journal ✊Want to be our next member feature? Email social@apanetwork.com and you could be our next surprise member of the week.

Licochalcone in Liquorice root extract controls the excessive production of oil in the skin, while its antibacterial action reduces acne lesions.⚡️🖤 Brightens the skin: Liquorice extract also prevents the overproduction of melanin and helps in skin whitening.⚡️🖤 Protection from sun damage: Ageing and wrinkles are common when the skin gets exposed to the sun. Liquorice root extracts contain the UV blocking enzymes that protect skin against sun damage.⚡️🖤 Anti-inflammatory: Due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits liquorice is also useful in treating conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.

In the age of cosmeceutical formulations, we have

In the age of cosmeceutical formulations, we have at our disposal amazing skincare products consisting of validated ingredients that fight the signs of ageing. While the skin around the eye area may also benefit from hydration and toning, not all cosmeceuticals are safe to use around the eyes, as some can cause irritation and blurry vision. #wisdomwednesdayIn fact, many advance skincare formulations often recommend avoiding their use near the eyes. Here are a few benefits of consistently using eye cream:✨ 👀 Eye cream helps prevent common signs of ageingDull, tired, and crepy-looking skin happens for a variety of reasons, but two big culprits are dehydration and environmental stressors. A natural eye cream packed with hydrating ingredients can help protect the delicate skin around the eyes.✨ 👀 It can lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinklesAntioxidant and vitamin protection can also help to sooth and revitalise the skin, resulting in the diminished appearance of wrinkles and expression lines.✨ 👀 It minimises the look of puffinessPuffiness that comes from fluid build-up can be caused by sleep deprivation, allergies and loss of skin elasticity due to chronological and environmental ageing. The best eye creams have ingredients that reduce these visible signs of fatigue.✨ 👀 Minimise the appearance of dark circlesEye creams with ingredients to lighten and brighten the skin can help boost and improve skin texture.✨ 👀 Eye cream delivers tailor-made hydrationThe thin skin around they eyes needs a specialised kind of hydration, which eye cream provides. It does this with just the right concentration of ingredients that won't irritate the eye, while boosting hydration.✨ 👀 It can strengthen and protect delicate skinThin under-eye skin is more vulnerable and prone to irritants than the rest of the face. Eye creams boast ingredients to address this concern aiming to strengthen the skin’s architecture and help to minimise irritation and improve the skin’s appearance.✨ 👀 It soothes tired eyes.
