MOTHER NATURE’S SKINCARE MAGIC
More and more people are starting to realise that the path to radiant, glowing skin has been right under their noses all the time. Mother Nature’s pantry contains a whole host of soothing, healing and moisturising plant materials that can help to restore your skin to its natural, glowing condition. But how do you access these ingredients? It is simple. Dawn’s range of natural moisturising creams and lotions contain 100% natural moisturisers, sustainably sourced Cocoa Butter and natural oils that can provide the best skincare that Mother Nature has to offer. Here are some of our favourites.
AVOCADO OIL AND ALOE VERA
Aloe Vera has been used for centuries to soothe, protect and moisturise skin. This is precisely because of its superior, instant hydration and absorption properties. When coupled with avocado oil - which is packed with vitamin E - the antioxidants and anti-inflammatory effect of this moisturising cream instantly soothes sensitive skin and leaves your body radiant and glowing.
ARGAN OIL AND VITAMIN E
Some of, even the skinniest and fittest of us, have stretch marks - but we no longer have to entertain them! Dawn’s new Vitamin E & Argan Oil Body Cream and body lotion are here to help you smooth your “zebra stripes” away. This body cream is enriched with 100% natural moisturisers and offers 48-hour protection, which helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks and other small scars. For best results, be sure to apply frequently.
SHEA BUTTER AND ALMOND OIL
Not only does this combo smell delicious, it revives dry and damaged skin and ensures a lasting, natural glow. Almonds are really good to eat, but their precious oil is equally amazing when applied to skin. It’s crammed with vitamin E and can even be used in pure form to treat psoriasis and eczema. Shea butter is, indeed, one of Mother Nature’s miracle gifts to us.
The oils found in the butter are rapidly absorbed by human skin. Thus, they act as a “replumping” agent that restores good fatty acids and rapidly provides the moisture required for healthy, elastic, and supple skin, which helps prevent premature sagging and aging.

SUMMER SKINCARE TIPS
FOR TOTAL RADIANCE
Summer is around the corner and this means it’s time to re-think your skincare regime to suit the warmer months. Why? Because our skins’ ‘behave’ differently in the heat than in the cold. The heat and sun flushes the moisture out of your skin. So it’s imperative to step-up your skincare routine to look great this summer.
Here are some tips from the radiance-experts at new Dawn Body Lotions and Creams to help you get ready for our favourite time of year.
KNOW YOUR SOAPS
Heat makes our skin produce more oil, so it can be tempting to wash your body with a strong cleanser. However, these may do more harm than good because while it's good to remove excess oil. It’s also NOT good to strip the skin of oil completely. The rule of thumb is, if your skin feels tight, your soap is too astringent. Rather opt for pH neutral cleansers and soap that remove the dirt but maintain your skin’s delicate balance.
CHOOSE LIGHT, HYDRATING MOISTURISERS THAT SOOTHE
The summer heat also makes us perspire more and lose natural moisture from our skin. Experts recommend that you quench parched skin with light, hydrating moisturisers, like Dawn’s Aloe Vera and Avocado Oil lotion that hydrates and soothes sensitive, weather beaten skin. It goes on light but gives your skin all the moisture it needs without feeling greasy for all-day radiance and complete glowing skin confidence.
Lucky for you this variant is also available in a thicker, richer cream format for the days that you need a bit more coverage. For those of us who love a little summer sparkle, why not boost your inner glow with a hint of gold dust? We highly recommend Dawn’s Radiant Glow and Gold Dust Body Lotion because it gives you a dose of hydration and leaves you looking glamorous and radiant.
YOUR SKIN LOVES WATER
Moisturise your skin from the inside out by drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. It’s the easiest and cheapest way to keep your skin happy and hydrated.
DON’T FORGET THE SUNBLOCK
Offset the harmful effects of UV rays on skin by wearing a decent sunblock with a high SPF. Wearing sunscreen everyday will prevent premature aging and sunspots for a more even and fresh-looking skin tone.
