The skincare step women are finally talking about

The skincare step women are finally talking about

admin 0 Comments

Just like facial skin, intimate skin benefits from gentle cleansing, hydration and barrier support. Choosing products formulated specifically for this delicate environment can help maintain comfort and reduce irritation.

Here are several products designed to support intimate wellness and everyday comfort.

Gentle cleansing: YES Cleanse Intimate Wash Price

$22.95

Buy it here

The first step in intimate skincare is choosing a cleanser designed specifically for the area. Traditional soaps or heavily fragranced body washes can disrupt the natural balance of the vulva and lead to dryness or irritation. YES Cleanse is formulated to be gentle and fragrance free, helping cleanse the area without stripping moisture or altering the natural pH balance. Products like this are designed to support the natural environment of the intimate area while still providing effective cleansing. For women experiencing sensitivity, switching to a dedicated intimate wash can make a noticeable difference in comfort. The formula is certified organic and uses plant-based ingredients, which aligns with its focus on maintaining the natural microbiome rather than disrupting it. It is also designed for regular use, making it a practical everyday option rather than something reserved only for flare-ups.

Daily intimate care: Skin Federation Daily Intimate Skincare Routine

Price $109

Just as facial skincare routines now involve more than a single moisturiser, intimate care can also benefit from a simple routine designed to support hydration and skin health. The Skin Federation routine focuses on maintaining the delicate skin barrier while supporting overall comfort. Products designed for daily intimate care often include gentle hydrating ingredients that help maintain balance while avoiding irritants such as fragrance or harsh surfactants. This range has been developed with sensitive skin in mind, using dermatologically considered formulations that prioritise barrier repair and long-term skin health. It also reflects a more clinical approach to intimate care, bridging the gap between skincare and medical-grade support. Approaching intimate skincare in the same way we approach facial skincare is becoming increasingly common as awareness of vulval health grows.

Targeted comfort: Kolorex Vaginal Care Cream

Price $21.95

Buy it here

Some products focus specifically on supporting the natural balance of the intimate area. Kolorex Vaginal Care Cream uses bioactive horopito, a plant extract traditionally used in New Zealand for its soothing and protective properties. Formulas like this are often chosen when skin feels irritated or unsettled. Horopito is known for helping support the natural microbiome of the area while providing gentle comfort to sensitive skin. The cream is designed for external use and is often recommended as part of a broader approach to maintaining healthy vaginal flora. Its targeted formulation makes it particularly useful during times when the balance of the area may be disrupted.

Nourishing oils: Gaiae Yoni Oil

Price $39.95 50ml

Buy it here

Botanical oils designed specifically for the vulva are becoming increasingly popular as part of a broader self care routine. Products such as Gaiae Yoni Oil are formulated with gentle plant based oils designed for external use, helping soften and hydrate delicate skin while supporting the skin barrier. Oils can be particularly helpful for dryness or sensitivity and are often used as part of a calming self care ritual. This blend typically includes nourishing botanical ingredients selected for their soothing and skin-conditioning properties, making it suitable for regular use. The focus is on external care, reinforcing hydration without interfering with the body’s natural internal balance.

When dryness affects intimacy: personal lubricants

Another aspect of intimate wellness that becomes increasingly relevant with age is lubrication.

Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can lead to vaginal dryness, which can make intimacy uncomfortable. Personal lubricants can help restore moisture and improve comfort.

Wicked Simply Timeless Aqua Water Based Lubricant

Price $24.95

Buy it here

This water based lubricant was designed specifically with perimenopause and menopause related dryness in mind. The formula includes ingredients such as aloe, squalane, olive leaf extract and vitamin E which help hydrate and soothe delicate tissue while providing smooth lubrication. Water based lubricants are often recommended because they feel lightweight, wash away easily and are compatible with condoms and most intimate products. The addition of skincare-focused ingredients sets it apart from more basic formulas, offering hydration as well as glide. It is also designed to be non-sticky and pH balanced, which can make it more comfortable for ongoing use.

Longer lasting option: Pjur Woman Silicone Lubricant

Price $39.95

Buy it here

Silicone lubricants provide a different experience because they do not absorb into the skin as quickly as water based formulas. This allows them to provide longer lasting glide and comfort. Pjur Woman is designed specifically for sensitive skin and delivers a silky, smooth feel while helping protect dry or delicate tissue. Only a small amount is needed, making it a concentrated option for women experiencing significant dryness. It is also free from preservatives and water, which contributes to its long-lasting performance and suitability for those who find water-based options need frequent reapplication. The texture remains consistent over time, making it particularly useful for extended comfort.

Intimate skincare is simply another extension of self-care.

Just as we now use targeted products for the face, scalp and body, products designed specifically for intimate skin can help support comfort, balance and confidence as our bodies change over time.

For many women, the biggest shift is simply recognising that these concerns are normal and that thoughtful solutions now exist to support this often-overlooked area of wellbeing.

The Aussie skincare brand beauty insiders are ‘obsessed’ with (and it’s finally going mainstream)

The Aussie skincare brand beauty insiders are ‘obsessed’ with (and it’s finally going mainstream)

Skincare fatigue is real. Too many steps, too many products, too many promises.

That’s exactly why ESHU Skincare feels like a breath of fresh air.

This Australian-made brand has already earned praise from Forbes, GQ and Sephora’s Top 20, but what really sets it apart is how refreshingly simple it is.

Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today Arrow

No complicated routines, no cluttered bathroom shelves, no unnecessary fluff. Just effective, science-backed skincare that works and feels good to use.

ESHU is built on a clean philosophy: thoughtful formulations, sustainable design and results you can actually see.

It’s skincare for people who want healthy skin without turning their daily routine into a full-time job.

The brand’s launch range is intentionally streamlined, focusing on two everyday essentials that cover the foundations of good skin: exfoliation and hydration.

At the heart of ESHU’s ethos is responsibility. Australians are increasingly choosing brands that care about the planet as much as performance, and ESHU delivers on both.

The formulas use sustainably sourced botanicals, biodegradable ingredients and glass refillable packaging to reduce environmental impact, without compromising results. It’s conscious skincare that doesn’t feel preachy or performative. It just works.

The range that’s changing routines:

The Exfoliator

This is not your harsh, scratchy scrub.

The exfoliator uses biodegradable Bamboo Powder, Pumice and Jojoba Beads combined with natural BHA to gently lift away dead skin and smooth texture.

Kakadu Plum, Lemon Myrtle and Quandong calm and protect the skin, making it suitable for all skin types.

It’s effective without irritation, which is exceptional for exfoliation products.

The Mousturiser

Lightweight, fast-absorbing and zero greasy finish, this daily moisturiser is designed for real life.

Formulated with Australian botanicals, Niacinamide and Polyglutamic Acid, it hydrates, soothes and strengthens the skin barrier while sitting comfortably under makeup or sunscreen.

It’s the kind of moisturiser you actually want to wear every day.

The Moisturiser Refill

Same formula, smaller footprint. Designed for ESHU’s refillable glass system, it makes sustainable skincare feel genuinely easy.

The Bundle

Includes the Exfoliator, Moisturiser, bonus moisturiser refill and free Australia-wide shipping.

Available for a limited time only and honestly one of the best-value skincare bundles on the market right now.

The reviews back it up.

One shopper wrote, “I’ve been using ESHU for a little while now, and I really appreciate how gentle yet effective the products feel on my skin. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave any greasy or heavy feeling.”

Another shared, “Beautiful, effective skincare that truly delivers results.”

A third review summed it up perfectly: “As good as anything I have tried over the past 15 years.”

ESHU isn’t trying to overwhelm you with choice or trends.

It’s building a new standard for Australian skincare: simple routines, strong ingredients, sustainable design and products that fit into real lives.

If you’re ready to simplify your skincare without sacrificing results, this is the brand worth paying attention to.

What Happened When I Finally Tried Exosomes, The Biggest Skincare Trend Of 2025

What Happened When I Finally Tried Exosomes, The Biggest Skincare Trend Of 2025

admin 0 Comments

What have you done to your face?” I ask a colleague visiting from Germany, his skin akin to that of a lit candle. “Exosomes,” he replies, smiling, passing a hand across his luminescent visage.

I’m not surprised. Recently, it’s been hard to move for talk of exosomes. A skin-rejuvenation treatment that’s reached our shores after years of popularity in South Korea, exosomes have become synonymous with radiant skin and minimal downtime – a beauty editor’s happy place. There are in-clinic exosome treatments and at-home options.

On social media, people are reporting back after having exosomes injected into their scalps for excess hair shedding. (This, I hasten to add, is not legal in the UK yet.) So what are these genius things and why have they got the skincare industry so abuzz?

What are exosomes?

“Exosomes are tiny, extra-cellular nano vesicles – very small particles that can penetrate easily and are involved in cell-to-cell communication,” facialist to the stars and editors alike, Sarah Chapman, explains to me.

Think of them like clever couriers carrying biological information between cells, all the while carrying proteins, lipids, peptides and other genetic material along with them. Most impressively, exosomes accelerate skin healing and skin regeneration.

These ultra-reparative, anti-inflammatory messengers target skin texture and hydration, as well as supporting collagen and elastin production, and maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier.

Where do exosomes come from?

In the UK, the only legal exosomes are those that aren’t derived from humans – though we do naturally produce them. Instead, fish, bovine, yeast-cultured and plant exosomes, which can be manipulated to mimic human exosomes, are all that’s currently on offer.

Celebrity facialist Shane Cooper uses E50 Korean exosomes, derived from the fibroblast cells of salmon, and says their concentration and efficacy rate has helped him to repair his own skin barrier and calm down rosacea flare-ups. (E50 Korean exosomes aren’t to be confused with polynucleotides, another salmon byproduct also used to stimulate cell regeneration.)

What happens in an exosome treatment?

The way exosomes are administered can vary, though they’re usually introduced to the skin via injection or applied to the skin after a round of microneedling. There is a third, needle-free way, but more on that later.

“Exosomes can be delivered into the skin via direct injection – mesotherapy style,” aesthetic doctor and founder of the eponymous clinic Dr David Jack tells me, “which is where tiny, superficial injections place the exosome solution precisely into the dermis [the inner of the two main layers in the skin].”

The method you’re most likely to come across is microneedling. “Microchannels are created in the skin, which then allow topical exosomes to penetrate,” Dr Jack says, making me think of a crumpet slathered in exosome-rich butter. These microchannels allow the exosomes to reach deeper into the skin and work their magic where it’s most needed.

What skin concerns can exosomes treat?

Besides being suitable for innumerable skin concerns – from acne scarring to improving skin volume and calming skin redness and irritation – exosome treatments are unique due to the remarkably short recovery times required.
