Tea for Skin Health?
 Did you know that drinking tea can improve your skin health? Well maybe not any old tea, but certain types of tea can enhance your skin health from the inside, while you care for your skin on the outside. Try...

Moisturising vs Hydrating - what's the difference anyway?
Did you know our skin contains both oil-loving and water-loving layers? This is why we need to understand the difference between ‘hydration’ and ‘moisturising’ in our skincare routine. The outer layer of the epidermis is oil-loving (and hence water-hating) which...

Slowing down the aging process with antioxidants
We’ve probably all heard of free radicals and their harmful effects on the body’s aging process, but what does it really mean and how can we prevent the damage? Free radicals are damaged cells which are released when oxygen is processed by the body in the natural process called oxidation (the same occurs when you […]

Sleep & Youthful Skin
Whether you’re a night owl or an early bird, getting enough sleep can really impact your health… including the youthful appearance of your skin! We all know what it’s like when we haven’t had enough sleep; those dreaded dark puffy circles under the old eyes, the short temper, the low energy. Yes, sleep can […]

The eyes have it – wonderful cucumber!
Known for centuries to reduce eye puffiness, cucumber has so many health benefits for both skin and body. Let’s explore some of those benefits. Cucumis Sativus – the humble cucumber. High in fibre and super high in water content (about 96%), cucumber in the diet can help the digestive system work more efficiently, and….well….get things […]

Keeping Age At Bay With Antioxidants
While most of us may be able to imagine a day when we can look at ourselves in the mirror and proudly see our ‘happy lines’ as a reflection of a life filled with love and laughter, few of us want to exclaim “oh those deep furrows, wrinkles and sagging skin!” Let’s face it – there are lines […]

Manage eczema and psoriasis naturally
No, this is not just a pretty flower I picked from my garden. It is Calendula officinalis, or the humble marigold. In the garden its bright and summery and pretty, but on your skin, it is a mircle healer. Eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis (with which I myself suffer), are some of the most common skin conditions in the world, […]

Goat’s milk goodness
Yum! Goat’s Milk! One of the most gentle conditioning and moisturizing ingredients you could put on your skin….and available from the supermarket or health food store. Goat’s milk has smaller protein molecules, making it easily and quickly absorbed, and imparting a beautiful silky feel to the skin. It is not too alkaline and not too […]

How Effective is Natural Sun Protection, really?
In the almost four years since starting Rubifresh natural skincare, I have found that although there is a great interest in the idea of a natural sun screen, many Australians are sceptical about whether a natural product would be effective for our outdoors lifestyle in the intense Australian sun. The evidence seems conflicting, but like […]

The Truth about Coconuts
Coconut oil was once considered a baddie due to its high percentage of saturated fat. In recent years, evidence has emerged to show not only that saturated fats are not the baddie they once were thought to be, but the unique combination of fatty acids in coconut oil actually have powerful medicinal properties, due to […]

Fresh is Best
Just as fresh food is best for our bodies, so too are fresh ingredients best for our skin. But WHY? It is fairly well known that the fresher we eat our food (especially vitamin and mineral packed fruit & veg), the bigger the dose of those vits & minerals our bodies receive, and the better […]

Post workout skincare routine
If exercise is good for us, we would assume it is good for our skin. However, if we do not replenish our skin post-exercise we risk minimising the effect of our exercise, and causing skin problems that could be prevented. With a few basic steps after our workout, we can ensure we match our skin-health […]

Double Cleansing
Despite what we are lead to believe about cleansing the skin, using natural vegetable and nut oils for cleansing is one of the best things you can do for your skin. Oil cleansing has been used in many countries as a recognised face cleansing method. Natural oils, when rubbed in, dissolve impurities, environmental ‘dirt’ and makeup, […]

7 Steps to healthy skin
When we think of caring for our skin, it is easy to focus on it’s role in communicating our age. Let’s face it, none of us wants to look older than we are!
