Just a friendly reminder. Keep in mind the skincare suggestions your beauty therapist, aesthetician or skin therapist make VS an influencer.Why? All of these are trained professionals and they have done a (hopefully) thorough skin analysis and consultation to understand you, the environment you live in and have truly taken the time to analyse your skin! #sayitloudListening to your qualified aesthetician is always a great idea!

Over the past decade, we have seen a significant increase in new, more sophisticated, device technologies. Meanwhile, ongoing scientific studies in cosmetic ingredients are discovering mechanisms of cell-to-cell communication and how the activity of certain molecules have now proven capacity to restore skin health and transform the appearance of the skin.They achieve this through novel delivery systems and formulations that strengthen the skin’s immune function, restore the skin’s microbiome and minimise inflammation.This evidence-based approach will help you take your treatment outcomes to the next level.This is the lecture Gay is going to share with us on July 19th! 🎤👏

As a #skintherapist, the issue of ingredient safet

As a #skintherapist, the issue of ingredient safety is something you need to be well versed in to support and advise your clients against any potential risks.Recently, the TGA released a multiple sunscreen recall having identified low levels of benzene detected. Many of these brands are very popular and even sold through salons and clinics, for example, the Cancer Council Sensitive Sunscreen SPF50+ ☀👇Please review details about the recall and advise your client who may be using a sunscreen that they have obtained independent of your recommendation.But let’s take a quick look at the issues with benzene:What is benzene and what are the risks?Benzene is a chemical that can cause cancer in humans, depending on the level and length of exposure. Benzene is not an ingredient in sunscreens but can be a contaminant in raw materials used in the manufacturing process. It has been detected in one batch of a raw material used in the manufacture of a number of products and the TGA is working with affected companies to confirm if benzene is present in their medicines and if it is, how much is there.Benzene levels in sunscreens sold in Australia must be below 2 parts per million (ppm). Although exposure at the levels detected would not be expected to cause serious adverse health effects, and risks to users are considered low, the sunscreens are being recalled to ensure consumer safety.You can find the full TGA report in the blog section on our website or on our Facebook Page ✨

Happy Tuesday!! How is your week going? 😍Bota

Happy Tuesday!! How is your week going? 😍Botanicals are rich in compounds that inhibit the melanin-synthesising enzyme tyrosinase, making them important constituents in skin-lightening formulas ✨ #TuesdayTipTurmeric root (Curcuma longa), which is the source of tetrahydrocurcumin, is a good example.As a natural depigmenting agent, this activity inhibits tyrosinase sufficiently to decrease melanogenesis and is more efficient than kojic acid and vitamin C.For topical depigmentation, a 0.25 percent cream formulation of the chemical was proven to be a safe and effective alternative to a typical 4 percent hydroquinone cream in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled research involving 50 human volunteers.

A recent media alert that attracted over 220,000 v

A recent media alert that attracted over 220,000 views and responses reported a bride-to-be visiting a salon to get her eyebrows shaped, but was also given a tint without her consent leading to an extensive allergic reaction that left her blind for over 24 hours.The allergy is most likely due to para-phenylenediamine, an aromatic amine commonly found in hair dye, which is the normal first trigger that alerts people to their sensitivity.Phenylenediamines of various forms are subject to restriction in the EU cosmetic and tattoo ink regulations. They are referenced in the Australian poison standards, but not in the context of cosmetics as far as we are aware.“This is a clear reminder of why patch tests should be conducted prior to eyelash or brow tints including henna treatments.There is a common misconception that henna being a natural tint is always safe, however, that is not the case, Tina Viney, CEO of APAN warns.📸 (Channel 7).
