Valerie Gradury created Odacite skincare as a result of
reinventing her lifestyle to eliminate as many toxins from her diet and
environment as possible. Having been diagnosed with breast cancer, she took
stock and quit her job, qualified as a health and wellness coach, and began to
blend potent plant oils for skin.In 2009, five years after she made the changes
to her own lifestyle, Valerie launched the pure plant Serum Concentrates.
I have been using the Olesomes Time Release Creme, which is
the base to add the oils to, allowing them to be absorbed by the skin more
gradually (overnight).
My two picks (of the many oil blends available!) are Vital
Glow Serum (Wild Carrot) and Radiance Effect (Green Tea + Lemongrass).
Both smell like heaven - you will not want to just apply
once. The Wild Carrot has a sweetness that wraps you up in a hug and the
lemongrass is a hit of fresh, tangy, zesty green. Radiance AND aromatherapy all
in one. I'd also love to try the Hyperpigmentation Serum (Papaya + Geranium)
and Elasticity Serum (Marula + Neroli).
Cruelty Free. Natural. Made in Australia.
Direct from the state that does the Big Pineapple, surfers,
parking meter women in bikinis and crocodiles, comes a skincare range that is
gorgeously packaged and really delivers. I’ve featured Rubifresh on the blog in
the past. I still love it.
My particular picks are the cleansing gel and cleansing oil.
Both smell citrus tangy and will cleanse gently so that you don't feel you just
removed your makeup AND every cell of moisture in your body.
I swear by the cleansers and the face and body scrubs. I’m
yet to try the Pigmentation Serum but I will be and I will report back. Stay
tuned.
There's three "Series" for the Hylamide range,
which allow you to use the basic Core range, the specialised Booster range and
the Finisher range, designed to blur pores, increase radiance and photographic
finish (if you're selfie inclined. I am not.)
These are intense serums and the high concentration of
active ingredients means if you have particularly sensitive skin, you may want
to apply less product, less often.
I find the Vitamin C (Booster C25) is seriously skin texture
nirvana, BUT it's super intense and I prefer to leave it on for two or three
hours before bed and wash it off. If you regularly use vitamin C products, you
might find you can leave it on all night without issue. I have no issue leaving
Booster Radiance on and my recommendation would be to use this on face AND neck
and chest to ensure you look radiant from forehead to chest rather than having
that "I have been tanning in a turtleneck" look. I love the Low
Molecular HA Rehydration Booster. Again, skin looks and feels smoother and I
look MUCH less tired in the morning.
I'm new to the Elucent Whitening skincare range, but I'm
loving it two weeks' in. This is not a bleach - the whitening refers to evening
out any pigmentation caused by sun damage and hormonal imbalances. So, vitamin
C, fruit extracts, vitamin E. saffron seed oil and Vitamin B are all combined
in the cleanser, moisturisers, eye creams and exfoliators.
Clinical trials have shown improved and clearer skin at 12
weeks (96% respondents) and it's recommended that to see real, long lasting
results, at least 3 months regular use should be committed to. Done!
