New Replenish

A reformulated Replenish Hand & Body Lotion is now available on the Skinflint Website.

Replenish Hand & Body Lotion is a blend of two formulae - Hand & Nail and Replenish. These are now deleted and replaced with the new product. I've researched for many months to create the perfect formula for this product. It's an all-in-one hand and body lotion, so there's no need to clutter up your bathroom with lots of different products.

Replenish is scented very lightly (though the first batch is a bit strong) with a unique blend of essential oils that I've been working on for weeks. It contains light Ricebran oil which is blended with Shea butter and Rosehip oil.

Rich in Vitamins B and E, Rice Bran oil increases elasticity of your skin and keeps it hydrated and soft. Rice bran oil is unique in that it contains different kinds of both vitamin B and vitamin E, making it a more complex ingredient for your skin.
Shea butter is renowned for it's ability to soften and soothe. The traditional use of the butter is to reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars and stretch marks, and to ease a variety of skin irritations, such as psoriasis, eczema and sunburn.
Rosehip oil is a source of essential fatty acids that include omega-3, 6 and 9. They are vital for the health of our skin but our bodies are unable to produce them. Essential fatty acids help to regenerate skin cells and to repair damaged skin tissue. It is the essential fatty acids in rose hip oil that quench dry, sun damaged skin and help to improve the appearance of burns, scars, wrinkles and stretch marks. It is also a good source of vitamin A, which is important for skin regeneration.
A myriad of other fabulous ingredients make this a wonderful moisturiser for your whole body. Due to it's urea content, it has the ability to soften calloused skin areas such as elbows, knees and heels. It will also soften cuticles. Oat Protein provides the necessary protein building blocks for skin cell renewal and Calendula Extract is a soothing botanical for irritated skin.Scientific studies find that extracts of calendula can speed the healing of skin wounds and burns.

Check out the website for the introductory special for the rest of the month of August or until stocks of the first batch last.

Super Anti Aging Serum

As always, I love to research skin care ingredients. I've been studying anti aging ingredients recently and have come across the use of Vitamin C as an incredibly effective anti oxidant which can also assist in the repair of sun damaged skin.
Vitamin C, in particular, Ascorbyl Palmitate is a stable, absorbable version of Vitamin C used in facial rejuvenation treatments. It is a powerful anti oxidant that can

• Increase collagen production
• Promote healing
• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Minimize the appearance of scars 

Because Ascorbyl Palmitate is fat soluble, it penetrates the skin very rapidly and reacts with the cellular biology to prevent cellular aging. It is anti inflammatory and has been shown to decrease the effects of sunburn when applied topically.

All this exciting information has led me to reformulate Skinflint Rosehip Recovery Serum to include a high % of Vitamin C in the form of Ascorbyl Palmitate.
This ingredient comes from the US and is very expensive, so unfortunately the price of this serum will rise a little.

Skinflint Rosehip Recovery Serum with ACE is still the most inexpensive anti aging product you'll find on the market today.
Rosehip and Red Raspberry oils both assist with the effectiveness of Vitamin E in the serum. Added Vitamin A increases the amount of anti-oxidants so making this product a super anti aging oil.

Available in a very attractive container with a pump dispenser, Rosehip Recovery Serum retails for $35.
