New to Bounty?
From sleepless nights and hormone surges to dehydration and limited time, your skin can sure take a hit during motherhood.
Pamper trips to the salon might be harder to come by these days, but there’s no reason that the skin radiance you felt in that glorious second trimester can’t last you beyond the baby years too.
Putting ourselves first is necessary for our wellbeing and the wellbeing of our family and that includes taking some time of our busy days to look after ourselves and our skin.
Looking after your skin doesn’t need to break the bank either.
According to beauty influencers and editors, you can truly pamper your skin with a savvy supermarket buy and get great results.
MCoBeauty’s new Brightening Glow Luxe Face Oil promises to be “your one-way ticket to glow town!”.
Featuring 11 potent natural oils, the lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs instantly into the skin leaving it feeling hydrated without a heavy oily feeling – even if your skin is already oily. Magic!
FUN FACT: Oily skin LOVES oils! While it might feel strange to apply more oil onto your face, it’s actually proven to help balance excess oil production and regulate the skin’s own sebum levels.
The Brightening Glow Luxe Face Oil is available to shop at Woolworths, Big W and MCoBeauty.com with an RRP of just $35!
