GOODNIGHT LIPLINES!
As we age, the formation of vertical lines above the upper lip, sagging in the perioral (mouth) region, and feathering outside of the lips become more pronounced – especially for those with a history of smoking. While the eyes are often thought to show the first signs of ageing, the lip and mouth area develop some of the most dramatic visible differences. “Ageing in the mouth region, including marionette lines and nasolabial folds, can also be caused from collagen breakdown from damaging UV rays, trans-epidermal water loss, smoking, drinking through a straw, and whistling. It’s no laughing matter: lip lines can be caused by using your lips!,” says Caroline Parker, Head of Education for Dermallogica New Zealand. Lips lack the protective outer layer (strateum corneum) that facial skin has, and fewer layers overall (3-5 layers versus the face’s 16). Lips also lack the same composition of oil and sweat glands that provide moisture to other areas of the face, while at the same time, saliva dries out lips’ natural oils. As a result, moisture evaporates from lips faster than the 220 GETTING PERSONAL

According to Chohaili, a popular romantic winter proposal is a trip to the snow. Whether you’re a snow bunny or not, everyone loves building snowmen, and nothing says romance like discovering ‘marry me?’ written in a white wonderland. He says for those who prefer the sun on their skin, he has seen some one of a kind romantic getaways glamping in the winter sun. “Last year a couple escaped the winter chill with a very romantic glamping adventure. The gentleman in question had thought of everything – handpicked flowers, the breakfast menu exactly as she liked it, and the question was popped over a spectacular tropical sunrise.” For a twist on a classic proposal, he says he always loves hearing about proposals from the skies, such as hot air ballooning, and the age-old throwback of horse and carriage rides. Chohaili says that to do it right – he is a traditionalist – always seek permission from her father and, last but not least, make sure you perfect the ring! “This is the main ingredient. If you have no idea, do a little background research. Take a peek through her jewellery collection and take note of the shapes, stones, style and metals that she wears, before making an appointment with a master craftsman,” he says. www.diamondworldjewellers.com.au

BEARDED GOODNESS The Dark Heart Beard Co believes that when a gentleman is at his most natural, he’s closest to the spirit of that which created him; closest to his source; his creative genius. They maintain that ideas are born from the stroke of a beard, and that much greatness is born from that moment of inspiration. The brand is built on a distinctive and alluring coffee and leather scent, the products being infused with the inviting aromas of Fair Trade Arabica beans, supplied by Meebz Coffee Roasters of Auckland. The blend is rounded off with natural whisky, woodsmoke and leather fragrance oil. A birdie has told us that they intend launching a Whisky & Spice blend next - Macadamia oil, infused with locally brewed Thomsons Manuka Smoked Whisky, imbued with notes of cedarwood and lemon. There’s a beard wash in the pipeline, too! The Coffee & Leather Beard Balm provides styling hold, enabling guys to shape their ‘stache and refine the lines on their facial growth. The Coffee & Leather Beard Oil softens facial hair, reduces beard itch, promotes hair growth and improves gentlemanliness. Dark Heart Beard Co - this is one to check out personally, guys! www.darkheartbeardco.nz
