🔅The forecast says 35°C, but your skin says "ummm, no thanks." 🧊
Welcome to Day 2 of our Heatwave Survival PRO TIP Series.
Today, we’re talking about the "The Big Swap."
When the Melbourne heat hits, your heavy winter creams can act like a woolly jumper—trapping sweat, heat, and oil. The result? Congestion and that "suffocated, prickly" skin feeling.
THE MOVE: >
1️⃣ Swap: Trade your thick occlusive creams for weightless water-gels, oil-free emulsions or lotions.
2️⃣ Chill: Move your sheet masks, gel masks, toners, post treatment creams, eye creams and jade rollers into the fridge.
The Payoff: Applying chilled skincare doesn't just feel incredible; it helps constrict blood vessels to instantly take the "sting" and redness out of a heat-stressed face. ❄️
PRO TIP: Your skincare is an investment—don't let the heatwave devalue it. 🌡️ Most cosmeceuticals are formulated to be stored below 25–30°C to maintain active stability. When temperatures spike, your Vitamin C and Retinols can oxidize and lose their potency. If your bathroom is feeling like a sauna, it’s time to move your 'liquid gold' to a cooler spot.
