RAWKANVAS SKIN SCHOOL

Our bodies go through wild changes during our cycle, and your skin is no exception. Just like your energy, mood, and cravings fluctuate, your skin has its own hormonal rollercoaster. Let’s break down what’s happening during that time of the month and how you can keep your skin glowing all cycle long.

We all get breakouts. But did you know there's different types of breakouts?! With the likes of blackheads, whiteheads, milia, sebaceous filaments and pimples we explore them all so that you know what type of breakout you're having, how it formed and most importantly, how to treat it! So as they say, let's dig in (not sorry for the pun!).

Here's our Best Gift For ideas!

Driving productivity and accomplishments, in small doses, they say stress can be a good thing! But even though it's a natural part of life, stress for prolonged periods of time (chronic stress) can have a significant impact on your skin. That's because when you're stressed, your body releases a hormone known as cortisol, that can signal inflammation and a host of other changes in the body, ending with skin concerns.

Whether you're dealing with a little or a lot of stress, it's important to understand how it can affect your skin, and what you can do to help.

When it comes to keeping a streamlined skincare routine, there's a few things we know for sure. One, less is more. Two, time is important. And three, skincare is an investment. So it goes without saying, the more steps you can combine into one, the better! Multi-tasking products offer the ability to address multiple skin goals, while offering time and wallet-saving convenience too!

With so many skincare brands and products out there, it's hard to know which ones will actually work for your skin. And with time, budget and skincare goals aside, your skin actually plays a vital role in protecting you from environmental stressors and keeping you healthy... so it's pretty important to find the right skincare. Let's explore why skincare quality matters, and ways in which to find your best products.

Nowadays our lives are busy! While we’re trying to juggle everything from simply drinking enough water, working hard, chasing dreams and putting the kids to sleep, it’s easy to see how the likes of self-care and skincare routines start to slip. So, if you find yourself stretched and out of hours by the end of the day, but you desperately want to see those glowing skin results, then this one is for you!  

Check out our quick and easy tips, and go with what works for you.

Yep, it's getting expensive out there! And while we're cutting budgets left, right and centre... the good news is, when it comes to skincare, less really can be more. So if you're looking to re-evaluate your 10-step skincare routine for a more budget-friendly one, then this is for you! Because you can achieve the results you're after by focussing on quality over quantity - and it's called skin minimalism. Discover how to make the concept of skin minimalism work for you.

If you're a frequent flyer, you'll know that flying can take a toll on your skin. From dry cabin air (causing dehydration), recycled cabin air containing pollutants (causing irritation), a high altitude and reduced air pressure (causing fluid build up - aka puffy eyes) to the overall combination of dry air, pollution and bacteria (causing breakouts), needless to say, it's important to take extra care of your skin before, during and after a flight! We show you how.

When it comes to keeping a good (and consistent) skincare routine, there's a few things that we know for sure! One, less is more. Two, time is important. And three, skincare is an investment. And it's for all these reasons, that it's great to get multipurpose products into your routine - they replace multiple products, they save you time, and, they save you money (yay!). Not to mention, they deliver results.

So, let's introduce you to our brand-spanking-new multipurpose serums, Essence and Vibrance, shall we?!

"Skin cycling". It's approved by leading skin experts and dermatologists, so you just know it's going to be good! But what is it exactly? It's simple. Skin cycling is a night-time routine that focusses on using specific active ingredients, on certain days. For example, active ingredients are used for two nights in a row, followed by two nights of recovery, and then repeating the routine as a consistent cycle.

It's a great way to ensure you're kicking your skin goals and keeping your skin barrier in-tact, rather than over-burdening your skin with actives (which can cause more harm than good!). Here's what skin cycling would look like, using RAWKANVAS products.

Let’s face it, we all have those ‘off’ days, the ‘not-so-great’ skin days, where we aren’t feeling as confident as we would like in our skin.
