With the New Year been and gone and summer in full swing, it’s back to business for most of us. A New Year brings new goals, and planning your year is a great place to start to set you on track for achieving your goals. 2013 is going to be a busy and exciting year for everyone, with the improved economic situation helping to bring a positive vibe.

For our skin, sun protection is very important at this time of year with the harsh sun. Make sure you are keeping to your skin regime and feeding your skin the important antioxidants and vitamins it needs to keep functioning at its best. If you think it needs a bit of a boost, incorporate a ‘power product’ such as a serum or intensive to give your skin the support it needs. Colostrum Gel will help to heal damaged skin, while Ionzyme Focus Frown Serum will help to keep ageing at bay. If you really feel your skin has suffered some damage, adding monthly or fortnightly facials is a great way to improve its health, and see results fast.

Jane Iredale have a great range of products that contain SPF and are approved by the Skin Cancer Foundation of America. Remember, sun damage is one of the largest causes of premature aging, and it doesn’t end there. Lines, wrinkles, sagging and pigmentation can all be caused or made worse by over-exposure to the sun. Make sure you cover up when out in the sun – both your body and face. See the Jane Iredale Mineral Foundations for these super SPF products.

Also, Jane Iredale have re-released their most popular mascara – Longest Lash Thickening and Lengthening Mascara (link to new info). With a brand new and improved wand for real ‘Look At Me’ lashes, it’s a hit! The new brush is made from high quality hollow fiber, which works to separate and define lashes, and prevent clumping.

Great news, Jane Iredale has won the Best Mineral Makeup Category at the Bauer Best in Beauty Awards! In the five months leading up to the unveiling, editors trialled thousands of products including body care, makeup, hair care, nail lacquer, lipsticks, skin care and fragrance. The categories included products from across the brand spectrum, from prestige to mass market. Beauty editors considered quality, value, originality, innovation, consumer experience and even packaging when trialling and judging these awards.
