June is recognised as Acne Awareness Month, a time when many people seek effective solutions for their skin concerns. In New Zealand, this month also marks the beginning of winter, a season that often brings dryness and heightened skin sensitivity. How can we tackle both acne and dryness during this time? The answer lies in switching to clean and gentle, natural skincare products.
Skincare products laden with synthetic ingredients can be tempting for those seeking quick fixes. However, they can irritate the skin and worsen existing problems, which over time, can exacerbate skin issues rather than resolve them. In contrast, natural products work gently and harmoniously with the skin’s natural processes, supporting the skin’s barrier function and promoting long-term health.
Carol Priest Organics, a leading certified organic, natural skincare brand in New Zealand, creates products using only pure, natural ingredients. Carol Priest products stand out for their exclusion of toxic chemicals which are used not only in the products but also in when growing and harvesting the natural ingredients they use. Tried, tested and trusted for 35+ years, Carol Priest offers safe and effective skincare solution for everyone.
