Here is a wonderful review of our peachface products as tested by the wonderful NZ Oh Natural beauty & wellness go to site. 

Check out this amazing website to explore all you can on the incredible array of beautiful products...

As I am (sadly) no longer of the teenage years, we enlisted teen 'Guest Reviewer' Catie (who also writes her own blog on natural skincare) to let us know her thoughts on three Peachface products: the 'Sweet n Sassy Cleanser' (AU$26.95 for a 125ml bottle), the 'Full Bloom Moisturiser' (AU$25.90 for a 100ml bottle) and the 'Shine On Facial Scrub' (AU$26.10 for 100ml tub).

Here's what she thought...

I was so happy when Jenna picked me to review the awesome ‘Peachface’ skincare range for her website. I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with their products. The cleanser has a gorgeous smell and glides onto the skin leaving it feeling soft, smooth and refreshed. It was gentle enough to use twice daily, and I found it really great for removing sunscreen and make up. The moisturiser was also very nice to use. I thoroughly enjoyed the scent of this particular product as it smells very floral and light. However, what I really liked about the moisturiser was that it did not leave any oily residue on your skin. In the morning, my skin didn’t feel extra greasy or weighed down; the moisturiser had sunk right in without blocking my pores! Though I loved both the cleanser and moisturiser, the scrub would definitely be my favourite of the three. It is the first scrub I have tried that is gentle enough for sensitive skin, but that also leaves my skin feeling well exfoliated. The scent of walnut and organic honey makes this a very luxurious product. Both my sister, (aged 13), and I (aged 17), agreed it is the best facial scrub we have ever used. 

Overall, I found the Peachface range worked wonders for my skin. I would highly recommend these products to teens of all ages, even those with sensitive skin.  My younger sister enjoyed the range so much; she will be purchasing Peachface products once we have finished the samples!

Do - Love you, love your skin.

Don’t’s

Don’t - Use harsh chemicals, most make up, skincare product’s and acne treatments are filled with nasty chemicals that are worse for your skin than the odd pimple!! Use natural and organic products for this reason. Cleanse, scrub, tone, moisturise and pamper your skin with a mask once a week. Keep is organic and natural…

Don’t - go to sleep with your make up on. This is a big no no!

Don’t – give up on your skin, learn about your skin and be kind to it, be kind to you. What you do to your skin now in these early years will have profound and on going effects. You will be thankful that you cared so well for your complexion one day!

How to wash your face using peachface

1 Start your routine cleanse by putting your hair back out of your face.

First thing in the morning and last thing at night are the best times for you to do your skincare routine.

2 With your face over the basin or whilst you are in the shower take a little warm water and rinse your face with it this way your skin will be moist. Warm water also helps open the pores slightly. Use a small amount of peachface natural and organic cleanser; sweet n sassy cleanser (teen cleanser) or sweet blossom cleanser (tween skincare) smooth on to your face in circular motions. There is no need for hard rubbing, as the natural ingredients will do their cleaning thing with the motion of your gentle washing.

3 Splash your face with warm water to rinse away the cleanser, making sure that you have rinsed it all off. Pat dry with a towel and you are ready to apply the toner and the moisturiser.

Your skin will feel soft and cared for after each cleanse.

Peachface recommends using sweet n sassy cleanser to remove make up, sun block and face paint. You can use the peachface cleansers as often as you like as they are so natural and gentle that they will not strip your skin of its oils.

This is a brilliant review of our peachface tween product honey bee moisturiser written and blogged by the wonderful Sweet Elyse for Blush n Kiss who sells our peachface products in the UK and EU 

peachface tween honey bee moisturiser 

Firstly how cute is that packaging? I know I am a grown woman but I would want to display this all of the time, currently my honey bee is stored on my dressing table very proudly and away from little hands that like to make potions. 

The product itself was amazing, it's like that saying 'leave the best until last' and this product was for sure one of the best from all of the blush n kiss products. The moisturiser is an off white cream which is somewhere between a cream and a lotion. It absorbed really well and wasn't oily on the skin. My skin felt cared for, healthy and moisturised all day and night and upon waking in the morning I found that my skin was less oily on the T-Zone and didn't have dry patches on the cheeks. 

The scent is to die for, I generally don't like scented creams and lotions only because a lot of other brands (namely larger high street brands) smell awful, synthetic and chemically produced, but Peachface Honey bee smelled sweet, but not cloying and it did have a delicate scent of honey which was really nice. 

healthy You, healthy skin

it could also be said that a happy you means happy skin

here are some happy healthy tips for you and your skin.

1 Begin by drinking enough water, supplying your body with enough pure water enables your system to hydrate and flush out toxins. you will notice the results of drinking more water almost immediately. Add to this green tea and vegetable juices with carrot, celery, beetroot, parsley, ginger and seaweed extract and you will not only feel amazing but your skin will be ecstatic.

2 Sleep enough; when your body is developing, learning, playing and partying it needs plenty of sleep, generally 7 to 8 hours nightly. sleeping enough helps your mind absorb more for learning purposes and it also helps with calmness, so if you suffer from anxiety sleep more. put your zzzz'eds to good use by applying peachface in my dreams night clay to zap pimples and blemishes while you sleep.

3 Eat well especially at breakfast time. try eating quinoa, brown rice, barley, oats and lots of green leafy vegetables instead of processed foods. these grains have complex carbohydrates that keep you going energetically all day, they also make yummy salads and porridges. try sticking to organically grown produce when possible.

4 Eat slowly and consciously, chew ever mouthful, not only will you enjoy your food more, slowing down to appreciate it you will begin the digestion of it and your body will be grateful for this too.

5 Snack on healthy foods. fruit, nuts, cheese, yogurt and sour dough bread and real butter. they are full of nutrients and sustaining powers.

6 Exercise a little each day, go for walks, swim, jump, do yoga, play sport, skate, surf, ski, snowboard, climb, ride your bike, stretch, bend,  dance,  run and play alone and with friends, there is nothing better for you than movement and connection with friends.

7 Hygiene is important, wash your face in the morning and in the evening with a natural and organic product , sweet n sassy cleanser is perfect for removing the grime and excess oils that cause congestion and that then causes pimples and acne. use shine on facial scrub to exfoliate your skin a couple of times a week. you wont regret it.

8 Maintain good posture also. being conscious of how long you sit in front of a screen hunching over, stretch your body, go to yoga for a really good stretch and balance.

9 and best of all believe in your self. love the person you are and are becoming, meditate and become more present, when you are here now you have the ability to let go of the past and the future. If you are experiencing anxiety or depression find a therapist that works with teenagers and visit them. It is an very self nurturing opportunity to talk to a therapist. someone you trust that will guide you. you can also start journaling, writing about your life, your feelings and your worries can be very heeling. If you feel angry or frustrated which is very normal take a pillow and scream into it, cream and scream and scream… its always good to release these emotions. visit the peachface website to learn about positive affirmations and remember that all the peachface products have positive affirmations on them. peachface natural and organic  skincare contains balancing essential oils that help with emotional upheaval. and remember when you are developing in to a teenager your emotions will be all over the place too. this is just part of the change you  are going through.

10 Use natural and organic products, when you choose your products check the ingredients searching for as many natural and organic ingredients as possible, also buy green, sustainable, second hand, hand made and fair trade products as possible. when you apply natural and organic skincare to your body, hair, face you can relax more knowing that you are not absorbing nasty toxic ingredients. and when you buy fair trade products you are garnered that no body has suffered because of your purchase

As part of our philosophy, it’s important for teens and pre teens to be informed and stay informed. Here are some tips for healthy teen skin (and they can be used for pre-teens too!)

Pimple problems 

1. Overactive sebaceous glands can produce extra oiliness on the skin.

2. A build up of dead skin cells can cause blockages to the skin’s follicles.

3. Bacteria doesn’t help, as it can create inflammation and infection in the follicles.

4. Inflammation causes the redness and pain and can lead to scarring.

Being a teenager, or the parent of a teenager, can be fraught with worry. Everything seems to be intense and happening at once in the teen years. Self-esteem and personal body image are often the focus and this can be made even more stressful with the addition of pimples. peachface can make this time easier for everyone with a few easy skincare tips. Starting healthy habits early enough can really help with the stress and confusion so let’s take a look at what you can learn to do to support a healthier looking complexion.

1. 1. Don’t Use Soap

Soap is way too harsh to use on your skin. Soap or detergent based cleansers can really mess with your skin’s natural pH balance, because soaps are alkaline (higher pH) compared with your skin, which is normally slightly acidic (lower pH). An alkaline environment encourages acne. Our peachface cleansers are designed to be gentle and to help balance the normal production of sebum, which is the skin’s own oil supply. All you want to do is remove the toxins, grime and make up when you cleanse. If you are using a cleanser and it leaves your skin feeling tight and looking shiny you’re stripping your skin of its oil supply. When you reach puberty your hormonal system produces more oil and you can feel very oily at times - but stripping it away will only cause more oil to be produced. 

1. 2. Moisturise Your Face

The idea that oily skin doesn’t need a moisturiser is simply not true. Use a gel-based moisturiser such as bee so happy moisturising gel. This gorgeous product will protect your skin as it is full of balancing ingredients that also inhibit bacteria.

1. 3. Have a Daily Routine and a Weekly Routine

Learning to manage your skin at an early age is really beneficial! Not only does it help you get to know your complexion, it sets up great habits which will have a long lasting, and positive, effect as you grow older. You might begin to notice a change in your skin as a pre teen around 8 or 9. A simple routine such as the peachface tween or pre teen range is great. 

choosing a wholesome moisturiser that contains natural and organic ingredients is really important , especially in the winter months. Applying the most nurturing products to your skin can be uplifting for your complexion and your spirit. peachface provides a wonderful set of moisturisers that feed your skin and keep it clear from blemishes. As an added bonus the essential oils that we add in to our products help to balance emotional states in teenagers and pre teens. We have had a lot of positive feedback about how good girls feel when applying the peachface natural and organic skincare products. There is something extra that pampering offers us when we treat ourselves so beautifully as to pamper our body.

Common Ingredients in Organic Skin care 

Finding and using the best skin care routine for your young and developing skin type is a really important choice to make. Choosing organic skin care that contains organic and natural ingredients is so important for your skins over all healthy skin condition, for a lifestyle that uses less chemicals and as a way that you can support our natural world.

If you have never tried a natural skin care routine you will discover that natural and organic ingredients can give better results than ingredients that are not natural, natural ingredients do not have side effects, such as dryness, excessive oiliness and redness. Often chemical based ingredients are really very harsh for sensitive skin types and can cause damage and irritations and may not actually heal problem skin at all.

Our star ingredients are:
