Consistency in your favourite products is something you want to depend upon. Often, an Austin Skin product will look or smell slightly different to a previous one you purchased. Don’t be alarmed. As a small company, our production batches are small too. The smell, look, and texture can be different based on where the batch and its ingredients are sourced, as well as the time of year they were harvested.

For centuries, women have turned to the natural world for beauty secrets. From Cleopatra's milk baths to ancient Chinese herbal remedies, plants have been revered for their skin-enhancing properties. Today, botanicals are experiencing a renaissance in the beauty industry, and at Austin Skin too, with more and more people seeking natural and sustainable skincare solutions.
5 Ways Botanical Skincare Rules
The allure of botanicals lies in their complex blend of vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. These compounds work synergistically to nourish, protect, and rejuvenate the skin. Here’s how:
- Hydration: Aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, and cucumber extract are renowned for their hydrating properties. They quench thirsty skin, plumping up fine lines and creating a dewy complexion.
- Anti-Ageing: Powerful antioxidants like green tea, vitamin C-rich rosehip oil, and resveratrol combat free radicals, preventing premature ageing. These botanicals stimulate collagen production, thus reducing wrinkles and improving skin elasticity.
- Soothing and Calming: Chamomile, lavender, and calendula have anti-inflammatory properties that soothe irritated skin, reduce redness, and promote healing.
- Brightening: Liquorice root, vitamin C, and bearberry extract inhibit melanin production, helping to fade dark spots and reduce uneven skin tone.
- Acne Control: Tea tree oil, witch hazel, and neem possess antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help clear acne-prone skin.
