Posted: 31/03/2024

Melbourne’s esteemed salon, Shine Skin and Body, continues to redefine the standards of skincare with its latest innovation, the exclusive Carbon Blackhead Removal Facial. This unique offering marries the benefits of a traditional carbon facial with Shine’s heralded extraction process, marking a significant leap forward in facial treatments. Sheridan Rollard, the visionary owner and facialist behind Shine Skin & Body, was motivated to blend the revered Carbon Facial, often nicknamed the ‘China Doll Facial,’ with their signature extraction procedure to create a treatment that not only purifies the skin but leaves it impeccably clear, radiant, and with a porcelain-like finish. The inception of this novel facial treatment was not without diligent scrutiny and experimentation. After a meticulous six-month trial period, Rollard noticed that while carbon facials were effective in drawing out impurities and stimulating collagen production, they often led to post-treatment breakouts. This insight spurred the quest for a more comprehensive solution that would prevent these breakouts by ensuring all impurities were thoroughly removed from the skin. The Carbon Blackhead Removal Facial is a testament to Shine’s commitment to providing holistic and transformative skin treatments. Lasting 70 minutes, this facial begins with advanced cleansing techniques, followed by a carbon facial phase where the carbon attaches to oils and impurities. This is complemented by Shine’s signature extraction process, tailored steaming, and pore extraction, which vary in duration to cater to individual skin conditions. The treatment concludes with the application of hydrating serums and sunscreen, offering a multi-dimensional approach to skincare that ensures clients leave with skin… Read More

Celebrating over 180 years of excellence in skincare, Palmer’s continues to stand out with its Skin Success range, a testament to the brand’s commitment to innovative, targeted solutions for uneven skin tone and pigmentation issues. Known globally for the iconic Cocoa Butter Formula, Palmer’s roots actually trace back to 1840, focusing on targeted skin treatments. The Skin Success range, marking a significant milestone, remains a favourite among skin experts and customers alike for its efficacy and affordability. With a unique formula aimed at addressing age spots, dark spots, and uneven skin tone, the Skin Success range works not just on the surface but penetrates deeper layers of the skin, supporting the skin rejuvenation process. Remarkably, 98% of women reported visible results within just four weeks of usage, a testimonial to the range’s effectiveness. Dr Liz Dawes-Higgs, a renowned dermatologist based in Sydney, highlights the importance of the unique blend of ingredients, including Niacinamide, Retinol, Vitamin C, E, and Songyi Mushroom, in combating pigmentation and improving skin tone. “The synergy between these key ingredients maximizes the skin benefits, offering a comprehensive solution to pigmentation,” she explains. Pigmentation issues are widespread, affecting individuals across various ethnicities, ages, and life stages. Dr Dawes-Higgs touches on the commonality of pigmentation in Australia, exacerbated by the nation’s high UV levels, hormonal changes, and ageing. Interestingly, recent studies have indicated that skin discolouration is a more perceivable sign of ageing than wrinkles, making effective treatment all the more critical. Palmer’s Skin Success range not only addresses the concerns of those seeking… Read More

Updated: 29/02/2024

While Taylor Swift undeniably reigns as one of the biggest stars on the planet, her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is swiftly making his mark as a close second – especially with Aussie fans eagerly anticipating his presence in Sydney. As Travis basks in his newfound fame, he’s already leaving an impression on Aussie culture, evident in the increasing demand for the ‘Travis Kelce haircut’ among local barbers’ clientele. Matthew Clarke, an esteemed Australian Modern Barber of the Year awardee and proprietor of Esq. Male Grooming in Milton, notes a noticeable surge in patrons requesting the ‘Travis haircut,’ particularly after the Super Bowl and in anticipation of Taylor’s Australian Tour. With Travis’s arrival in Sydney today, Matt graciously shares his insights on achieving and styling this sought-after look. For those aspiring to don the Travis Kelce haircut, Matt advises consulting your local barber for a buzz cut fade and presenting a few reference photos beforehand. He emphasizes the importance of reference photos in effectively communicating the desired haircut and individual style preferences, especially for those unfamiliar with barber jargon or venturing into a new aesthetic. Alternatively, if a shorter style with a slightly lengthier side appeals to you, Matt recommends inquiring about a classic crew cut with a low fade. This approach achieves the illusion of the Travis Kelce haircut while retaining hair thickness on the sides. Upon acquiring the Travis Kelce cut, Matt suggests styling the look into a short quiff or a slicked-back style. For a short quiff, he recommends utilizing the American Crew Fiber… Read More

Veteran American Crew All-Star and distinguished barber, Gary McKenzie, with over 35 years of experience, brings you his pro tips to maintain a healthy, well-groomed beard and moustache, even in the sweltering heat. 1) Clean Facial Hair is Half the Battle Facial hair can act like a sponge in the summer, absorbing sweat, dirt and oils. Neglecting this build-up can lead to skin irritation, ingrown hairs and acne. Regular use of a good cleanser, such as the American Crew Beard Foam Cleanser, is crucial to keep your facial hair fresh and clean. Get your hands on it at The Iconic. 2) Beware of Dehydration Frequent swimming in oceans or pools during the Aussie summer can damage your facial hair as salt water and chlorine dry out your skin and hair follicles.

The American Crew Beard Serum offers an easy solution to hydrate your facial hair and moisturise the skin beneath.
