A True Friend To My Skin

MAAEMO - ELYSE KNOWLES 2020 10.jpg

I'm thrilled to be working with and using the MAAEMO skincare range. It's such a treat for my skin! The Certified Organic line of products are gentle, thorough, formulated with genuine purpose and beautifully presented in eco friendly packaging (glass bottles & recyclable eco tubes).

I've shared so much over the years in terms of my journey and continuous battles with the health of my skin. With the move up to NSW, a busy work schedule, huge amounts of travel and now a baby on the way - my skin has dealt with a range of changes in terms of climate, stress, hormones and a lot of makeup on shoots!

While I'm not complaining about any of the above, I do recognise that it's taken a toll on the condition of my skin. While I've been prone to breakouts since my early 20's, a busy lifestyle can exaggerate inflammation & cause my skin to freak out and lose balance.

Finding consistency & simplicity has been key for me personally. MAAEMO really encourages both which is why I'm really happy to be working with them. The conscious skincare range celebrates raw beauty and accentuates our natural glow using powerful plant based, nutrient rich ingredients such as aloe vera, green tea, sweet almond, rosehip and sunflower oils, Sandalwood & Bergamot. The beautiful smell is one thing, but the feel and the results is what excites me the most.

I've introduced a range of their products into my daily routine. The collection allows me to sink into a calming skincare ritual in the morning and at night and I've loved staying true to the process. Below is an outline of my usual day-to-day routine. I've linked some of my most used products for those who want to check them out - otherwise the whole range can be seen here or on Instagram @maaemo_organic

When I'm in the shower at the end of the day, I thoroughly cleanse my face using the MAAEMO Rejuvenation Clay Face Cleanser. Loaded with certified organic ingredients such as Aloe Vera & Sweet Almond Oil it's gentle, calming and it can help to fight off any unwarranted dryness and puffiness. For my particular skin type, this is a huge plus. After that I apply the Vitalise Face Elixir which gives me a healthy hydration boost overnight. The hemp seed oil in this elixir gives the skin a hit of omegas which assists in creating that youthful, plumpness we all love. I find that when I sleep it's a great chance to get my skin working so by the time I wake up in the morning I feel replenished.

Since using the range, I’ve seen & felt some noticeable changes. My skin feels a lot calmer & far more energised which is a big win!

Skincare can be tiring, stressful and very emotional for some of us. It's not about vanity, it's about finding balance and harmony within so that our skin can reflect the healthy, wholesome lifestyle we prioritise and lead. I encourage you all to check out MAAEMO and find out if it can offer you the peace and TLC it offered me.

Stay healthy, safe & kind everyone!
