25.01.2022 The prickliest of shadows.

25.01.2022 We've hit December! Which means the silly season has officially begun and the countdown to Christmas has started (for those of you whose kids haven't been counting down since like, June anyways ). Have you got your Xmas shopping sorted? If you are looking to buy gifts online, Auspost is recommending that you buy well before the 12th of December this year if you want the parcel to arrive before Chrissy due to high demand. Happy shopping! xx

25.01.2022 I used to be super wary of using facial oils - as someone that grew up with fairly oily skin, I thought there's no way I'm putting more oil on my skin! I read an article that changed my mind on that though. Oil can actually fight oily skin - sounds massively counterintuitive I know - but it's true. Many people with oily skin have oil because their skin is unbalanced and so is creating excess oil in order to try & stay properly hydrated. There are good oils however that help ...the skin to create a balanced sebum (oil) environment that will over time, stop it from creating excess sebum! What you want to look for (like our Daily Rejuve Facial Oil), are oils that are low or 0 on the comedogenic scale (this means that they mimic the oils our skin naturally produce and won't clog your pores. Oils like Joboba, Rosehip, Grapeseed, Prickly Pear, Hemp, Argan, Olive & more.

25.01.2022 Prickly Pear Oil is not only one of the most nourishing oils on the market but it's also one of the most sustainable as it is a voracious grower (for a cactus) and is able to be grown in places where nothing else will grow - providing opportunities to communities that live in arid regions. The majority of PPO comes from Morocco, where the seeds are farmed by primarily women who are engaged in collectives where they earn a good wage & are also provided with education & healthcare programs.

25.01.2022 We'd all like to pretend that we have perfect habits & never get sunburnt, but since we live in Australia, that's not something most of us can say, even with the best of intentions. With the temperature heating up, try putting your White Clay Mask in the fridge and using it as a cool, soothing remedy for those days where you get a little bit too much sun. Kaolin Clay (the core ingredient in our mask) has incredible soothing properties that reduce inflammation & speed up ski...n cell turnover which increases the rate of healing. It can therefore help remove redness & inflammation from sunburn and the coolness from the fridge, will soothe that hot, too much sun feeling. #sunburntips

25.01.2022 So I only just realised, at 31 + 11 months old, that coconut trees grow directly from the coconut In hindsight, it actually should have been really obvious considering that pretty much every other amazing oil ingredient we use is pressed from seeds... but still, mind blown.

25.01.2022 Our BIGGEST sale to date! Up to 40% off storewide! We apologise for the last discount we ran earlier this week. It worked for some but not others. New website blues :( This is a no brainer, head over to www.cactusskincare.com and the discounts will apply to your cart automatically! ... Whilst you’re there, we hope you enjoy the new look site :) #blackfriday #blackfridaysale #blackfriday2020 #40percentoff #organicskincare #natural #love #newportbeach

24.01.2022 Spring! Hands down my favourite time of year. Every single day the natural world seems to give us something new. Can't help but feel a renewed hope for life and the world t this time of year.

23.01.2022 Why is our White Clay so effective? It's chock full of Australian Kaolin Clay which: > Is rich in Kaolinite, silica dioxide with a neutral pH balance which means that it will not dry out your skin.... > Is suitable for sensitive and mature skin & helps to control oil production by clearing the pores but not stripping them. > Contains anti-inflammatory properties that soothes your skin & can assist with the healing process. > Stimulates the skins cells, boosts circulation and brightens the complexion. #whitelclaymask

23.01.2022 Still my favourite skincare day of the week. #whiteclaywednesday

23.01.2022 Level up your skincare game with the White Clay Mask. We 100% guarantee you will see results or your money back. We're that confident.

22.01.2022 So my skin has been massively struggling with the super cold winds we've had in Sydney for the last week - especially around my nose, cheeks & mouth. I started using this little bad boy at night to give my skin that deep hydration boost it needs and boom! Back to supple skin.

22.01.2022 Was so fortunate to be able to get away for a couple of days this school holidays to one of my favourite places in the world - my happy place. Time seems to move so much slower there and I always leave refreshed and ready to dive back in to everyday life.

21.01.2022 We know that staying hydrated is vital to maintaining bright, supple skin, but what you probably didn't know is that your body can actually lose up to a litre of water whilst you sleep through sweat, humidity and just breathing. Smash a litre of water as soon as you wake up in the morning & get your hydration levels back on track.

20.01.2022 Why do you need to exfoliate? It boosts circulation. Promotes production of new skin cells. Smoothes lines & wrinkles.... Removes deep impurities. Reduces pimples & breakouts. Improves overall tone, texture & vitality. See more

20.01.2022 We're getting close to flowering season and I couldn't be more excited! If you haven't seen a cactus flower, they are BEAUTIFUL! They also have this rich, dreamy scent that you can smell from across a room. So lovely!

20.01.2022 Many Cacti only flower once a year but when they do flower, they are not only beautiful, but full of antioxidants that are amazing for your skin reducing inflammation, protecting your skin from environmental damage, helping your skin retain moisture (thus preventing ageing) and soothing redness. #findyourbloom

19.01.2022 A huge thank you to everyone who entered our Ultimate at-home Giveaway! Since we know that unfortunately not everyone could win, we want to give you something anyway, so we're starting our Black Friday sale early & celebrating all our beautiful customers with 20% off storewide! No minimum spends, no excluded products, 20% off everything (even already discounted bundles)! Just enter the code "EARLYBLACKFRIDAY" at the checkout! xx

19.01.2022 The Perfect Skin Prep Pack - three products that changed my skincare life. Before coming to Cactus, I looked after my skin (or thought I was) but used whatever I could buy off the shelf at the supermarket, not even looking at the label. But what we put on our skin is so important! Not only do these products genuinely work, but they are natural and good for both your skin & the earth. 1. Lemon Myrtle Cleanser 2. Gentle Exfoliant 3. White Clay Mask... 4. #findyourbloom See more

18.01.2022 Thanks for your review Chloe! We love the Lemon Myrtle Cleanser too. Lemon Myrtle Oil is totally natural antiseptic & anti-fungal and it has such a beautiful, fresh scent, so putting it in a cleanser was a no brainer for us! xx www.cactusskincare.com

17.01.2022 We often wear foundation to cover our blemishes, so I totally get it if ditching the foundation gives you heart palpitations! The truth is however that our skin needs to breathe to sweat & eliminate toxins & full coverage foundations completely prevent this. If you need some form of coverage, consider a natural mineral powder (they even come in green tones from green clay to cover redness) which give you coverage without blocking up your skin. Since they are made from minerals, they have the added benefit of containing things like antioxidants & zinc, which feed your skin.

17.01.2022 Sometimes I feel like a Cactus - full of good stuff on the inside, but just a little bit prickly on the outside Anyone relate?

17.01.2022 2020 has been one hell of a challenging year and so this year more than ever, it's so important to remember to ask your friends, family, acquaintances, colleagues and even people you don't know that you see aren't in a good place, R U OKAY? Those three little words could make a massive impact on the life of someone struggling with their mental health. So many people don't ask because they are worried they won't know what to say, but it doesn't matter. Just listen, encourage that person to seek help or take action and check in with them to see how they are going. We're always here with an open ear to anyone that wants to reach out if you're not feeling okay. xx

16.01.2022 Holy Grail product? I like the sound of that...

16.01.2022 Feat. Australian Kaolin Clay, Zeolites, Prickly Pear, Lemon Myrtle, Apricot Seed & Rapeseed Oils, the White Clay Mask deeeeply detoxes your skin whilst depositing serious goodness from the oils into its deep layers. The result is clean, fresh & glowing skin.

16.01.2022 Friends that Clay together, stay together!

15.01.2022 We LOVE helping people achieve their skin goals - and why wouldn't we? That sort of happiness and confidence in your own skin is contagious!

15.01.2022 Why do people come to Cactus? > Because they have persistent skin issues that they are looking to fix. Why do they keep coming back to Cactus?... > Because we fix them. How can we help you?

15.01.2022 The perfect Monday morning combo for Oily to Combo skin! + coffee, because... coffee!

15.01.2022 A huge Happy New Year from the Cactus Flower Skincare team. We hope that 2021 is a wonderful year for you (let's face it, and I am totally touching wood after saying this, but seriously, it has to be better than 2020 right?). Stay safe, have a wonderful night & we'll see you in 2021. xx

15.01.2022 The raw form of Kaolin Clay in our White Clay Mask. The name Kaolin Clay comes from the hill in China (Kao-ling) where it was mined for centuries but it is also found & mined in abundance in Australia (WA, SA, NSW, QLD & VIC) which is where we source our clay from. Kaolin Clay has long been celebrated for its ability to gently draw impurities from your skin whilst reducing inflammation and reducing the appearance of pores.

14.01.2022 Beautiful, clear skin speaks for itself.

14.01.2022 Totally hitting me in the Fri-Yay feels!! Don't forget that our Black Friday sales are running with some serious discounts (that we won't do again for AAAAGEES). If you haven't already, head on over to the website & check it out. www.cactusskincare.com

14.01.2022 The Perfect Skin Prep Pack. So named as you can & should expect incredible results from this delightful trio. 1 - Lemon Myrtle Cleanser 2 - Gentle Exfoliant 3 - White Clay Mask... #findyourbloom

14.01.2022 Mmmmm those freshly cleansed feels.

13.01.2022 Why exfoliate? Some people may think that exfoliating is just a step skincare brands sell you to make you spend more money however exfoliating actually genuinely helps you to have better skin because: 1 - it unclogs your pores by removing dead skin cells, dirt, bacteria & foreign debris that may remain on your skin after cleansing - this is vital to preventing acne. ... 2 - removing the above & stimulating your skin through the gentle massage of exfoliation increases skin cell turnover which makes your skin healthier & brighter. 3 - it allows your skin products to penetrate deeper into your skin which boosts the benefits of their ingredients & more deeply hydrates your skin. 4 - it helps to stimulate collagen production which is vital to elasticity, evening skin tone & keeping your skin looking plump & young.

13.01.2022 If you're someone that wakes up to puffy eyes sometimes (or all the time), try sleeping propped up with an extra pillow at night. Gravity will help drain some of the fluid from under your eyes preventing that next morning puffiness.

13.01.2022 What's your vibe? 1, 2 or 3? 1: Oily - Combo: Light Balancing Crème? 2: Normal - Dry: Nature's Antioxidant Crème? 3: Dry to Very Dry: Intense Hydrating Crème?... Answer in comments

13.01.2022 Time for a mid-week pick me up? #whiteclaywednesday

12.01.2022 I've recently made a change to start getting up earlier so that I can use my mornings better to start the day - like being more mindful, meditating and taking some time for myself rather than jumping straight into the demands of the day. It's done wonders for my mental health already and I feel so much more energised during the day. It's amazing how small changes to your routine can make such a big difference! #mindfulness

12.01.2022 Add the freshest of starts to your Monday routine.

11.01.2022 This is our kind of garden! Clean lines, cactus (& great food & cocktails, so all needs are met ) @thenewportsyd

11.01.2022 Since skincare is NOT just for ladies, here's @noskcajam rocking his White Clay Mask. If you have a beard, our White Clay is a particularly good way to make sure that you are giving that area of your face a thorough clean + detox. Follow with moisturiser (or a really good beard oil) and you'll see a huge difference in the health of both your skin + facial hair!

11.01.2022 Pimples - inconvenient, painful, swollen and often the reason we don't like what our skin looks like. But we can help them clear up faster! Scroll across to see how our White Clay Mask can help those red, annoying little spots of frustration clear up quickly!

10.01.2022 Now that the weather is heating up, let's talk sunburn. (not that we allow our skin to burn in an ideal world) but it happens to everyone at some point no matter how diligent they are. Aloe vera is a FANTASTIC plant to have on hand for those accidental sunburn days as it is a natural anti-inflammatory containing more than 75 active compounds that work together to heal & soothe the skin. It also works to keep skin cells moist & hydrated which increases skin cell turnover allo...wing for the more rapid more rapid maturation of collagen which in turn increases healing. So if you have a plant on hand, all you need to do is carefully skin one side of a leaf, use a spoon to scoop out the gel & apply it directly to your skin (face or body). Repeat as often as needed. Easy.

10.01.2022 Thanks Jenna for your lovely review! It is soooo hard not to want to use the White Clay Mask everyday as it does leave your skin looking so fresh! That's why my favourite skincare day now is #whiteclaywednesday because I get to use the clay! xx

09.01.2022 "I've had a love/hate relationship with my skin for years. At 35, I was still suffering from hormonal breakouts, an oily T-zone & dullness. I'd find a product that would work for a while but it always seemed like a temporary fix. Two years ago I had the opportunity to try out Cactus Skincare and I haven't looked back. My skin has never looked better - my breakouts are almost non-existent & my skin glows even without makeup." Thanks to the beautiful @kweenstitch for the lovely review!

09.01.2022 Thanks for the review Emily! The Daily Rejuve Facial Oil is designed to hydrate really dry skin on a daily basis or act as a pick me up or treatment for skin that needs a quick, effective moisture hit. It absorbs fast and works fast.

09.01.2022 Total Friday vibes.

09.01.2022 A HUGE Happy Father's Day to all the Father's out there who are always there with tickles, laughter and big bear hugs! We hope that you have an amazing day with your families. To the Father's no longer with us in earthly terms, you're always with us in our hearts. xx

07.01.2022 Only 35 DAYS until Christmas! Did that send waves of panic through anyone else like it did for me!? I haven't even contemplated starting the Christmas shopping as the tail end of the year has been just too busy. But hey - you can always give the gift of perfect skin right? #christmasgiftideas

07.01.2022 The weather can wreak havoc on your skin and different times of year present different issues. In Summer, your skin is fighting heat, UV damage and humidity which can cause oil, sun spots and sun damage. In Winter, your skin is exposed to the cold, dry air & wind & indoor heating which can seriously dry out your skin. So it is unlikely that using the same products all year around is the best for your skin. Instead, mix up your products to ensure you're matching the season, opting for sunscreens & lighter weight moisturisers during the hotter months and heavier creams & oils during Winter. xx

06.01.2022 Cactus Flower Extract is one of our favourite ingredients (duh). Why? It's a natural anti-inflammatory, reducing redness, irritation and soothing the skin. It's chock-full of antioxidants which feed your skin making it healthy and glowing. These antioxidants protect your skin from the damage caused free radicals which ultimately, slows down the ageing process.... xx

06.01.2022 An entire bed to choose from and he still chooses to lie sprawled awkwardly across my leg. But who am I kidding, I'll take kitty cuddles anytime! #catlife

06.01.2022 This looks soooo dreamy. Even if you can't get to a spa right now, try to work some element of self care into your daily routine. Do something that makes YOU feel good! It's so important for your mental health. And if you ever feel you're struggling, please reach out.

06.01.2022 Sunday morning vibes

06.01.2022 Spring! I always love this time of year as things get greener, flowers start to poke their beautiful heads out and the world seems that little bit brighter. In what has been a year generally full of negativity, this Spring feels even more important to me as it gives me a sense of hope that things are about to get better. I'm 100% going to believe this.

06.01.2022 Prickly Pear Oil - it really isn't an exaggeration to call it a miracle oil. > It has proven to prevent the unwanted effects of ageing. > It can be used for healing, repairing & nourishing the skin. > It's rich in Vitamin E, A, C and Omega 6. ... > It can visibly reduce pigmentation & signs of environmental damage.

05.01.2022 Raw, luxe + totally effective. If you haven't tried our White Clay, why not?

05.01.2022 Just chillin out with some essentials

05.01.2022 The ultimate duo for super dry skin - the Moisture Boost Serum & Daily Rejuve Facial Oil. Both deeply hydrating, the MB Serum sits beautifully under makeup or your usual moisturiser and offers a deep hydration boost whilst leaving your skin feeling matte whilst the DRF Oil offers deep, nightly moisture for the ultimate hydration.

05.01.2022 No better feeling than that post White Clay Mask glow. If you haven't White Clay'd before, we can guarantee you that you will be surprised by how your skin looks and feels when you take that mask from your skin!

05.01.2022 The stockroom cactus is flowering! Isn't it spectacular? Cactus flowers are so vibrant & pretty!

05.01.2022 The newest spiky green baby in the Cactus Flower Skincare cactus collection (it is growing quite quickly). Found this little guy (and a couple of other cuttings) discarded by the side of the road - totally our lucky day!

04.01.2022 Containing Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Avocado Oil, Rosehip Oil, and others, the Intense Hydrating Crème helps restore, moisturise and develop radiant healthy skin. It also assists in reducing mild chapped, scaly or itchy skin conditions. It is deeply penetrating and you can expect to find Vitamins E, B complex, A, D, C, Omega 3, 6, 9 inherent in the oils.

03.01.2022 #whiteclaywednesday with Byron Bay local - the gorgeous Kate

03.01.2022 Blemishes, pimples, ongoing acne, redness etc are super frustrating and often indicative of skin that might be unbalanced in some way. Our White Clay Mask uses the incredible potency of Kaolin Clay & Prickly Pear to remedy your skin's natural environment, leaving glowing, radiant skin behind. Ready to see your skin issues disappear? ... #claymask

03.01.2022 Prickly pear vibes.

02.01.2022 Thank you for the review Lucy! We are so glad that you find the Lemon Myrtle Cleanser as refreshing as we do! xx

01.01.2022 When was the last time you washed all your makeup brushes....? If you can't remember, then it's time to whip out the mild shampoo or cleanser and give those babies a good clean as makeup brushes provide a great place for bacteria to hang out that can block your pores & contaminate your skin when you use them. Once a week is ideal, but if you don't have that much time (or that good a memory - totally guilty ) then once a month is enough in a pinch.

01.01.2022 So I like to #whiteclaywednesday as it is such a nice little mid-week pick me up and selfcare to me, is ridiculously important. When do you White Clay? Or if not White Clay, what little things do you do during the week to look after yourself? xx

01.01.2022 It's no secret we love the Prickly Pear Cactus, but aside from being FULL of antioxidant goodness, it's also one of the most sustainable oils available on the market. The UN found in a 2017 study that Prickly Pear is an ideal crop with the onslaught of climate change as it is able to be grown through prolonged droughts & desertification. As it can grow in locations where most other crops can't, it ensures a livelihood in areas where other sources of income for local inhabitants may be limited and it able to be used to help restore degraded land for potentially using for other crops.
