HOLA To Healthy Skin

I'm only a few weeks back from Spain so couldn't resist the opportunity to say HOLA! But in all seriousness, this blog is about two great ingredients, honey and seaweed, which have long been added to skin care and body care products, and which are both simple and natural ingredients and known for their therapeutic and healing properties. And they’re both also good to eat! New from the growing cult brand, HOLA, are two new ranges; the groundbreaking HOLA Honey Anti-Wrinkle Range and HOLA Seaweed Moisturising Range. One of the key draw cards of both these new products is that the honey extract and seaweed extract are entirely home grown, plus they’re formulated into gorgeous skincare products that are natural, simple and effective. The HOLA Honey Anti-Wrinkle Range is enriched with Australian grown honey extract to ensure a smooth, lifting and glowing complexion, with the lineup including a Honey Anti-Wrinkle Cleanser, Day & Night Cream, Eye Cream, Glazing Masque, Lotion, Toner and Essence. Meanwhile, the HOLA Seaweed Moisturising Range has been developed using seaweed extract to hydrate, freshen and moisturise skin, and in this collection is a Seaweed Moisture Make-Up Remover, Cleansing Gel, Exfoliating Gel, Toner, Eye Gel, Eye Cream, Lotion, Repair Cream, Mask and Essence. 

I was sent a few products from the Seaweed range to test, which are ideal for travellers thanks to their super moisturising properties. As any frequent traveller will know, when you’re on the road your skin is often under attack, both from long haul flights, air conditioning and central heating, to the cold winds of the ski fields, so top of my list to try out was the Repair Cream which has a rich gel texture, virtually no aroma, and it melts into the skin easily leaving it soft and smooth. As a boost when your skin needs it, you can add a pre-moisturiser to your regime, in the form of the Essence. This is a deep skin hydrator which also helps to plump wrinkles and reduce pore size, as well as add radiance to your skin. The Cleansing Gel is also enriched with seaweed extract and has special facial “bubbles” to help rid the skin of makeup, dirt and excess oil, leaving your skin refreshed, clean and ready to moisturise. And finally, the Exfoliating Gel is a gentle treatment which smells like the ocean, and which you can you several times a week to slough off dead skin cells and smooth out your complexion. And there’s another bonus to this new HOLA range - affordability as well as quality!

HOLA Seaweed Repair Cream has an rrp of $32 for 50g, the Essence has an rrp of $36 for 30ml, the Cleansing Gel $21 for 100ml, and the Exfoliating Gel is $19 for 80ml. Both the Honey Anti-Wrinkle Range and Seaweed Moisturising Range are available via www.glamourflage.com.au or in-store at the new Glamourflage shop located at Melbourne Central in Victoria.
