The Brow & Skin Studio

Your answer to firmer, smoother, and naturally healthier-looking skin.

What do you want or most importantly what do you expect when you have a skin treatment at The Brow & Skin Studio? Only the best results of course – and that’s exactly what I got. I was recently treated to a facial at the skin clinic in Ashgrove. If you live in or around the area, you’ve no doubt heard of the long-standing beauty salon, or been looked after by the ever-so graceful owner, Sherril Dalitz.

From the moment I stepped inside the studio, I knew I was in good hands. Sherril greeted me at the door, before leading me to a room where I changed into a luxurious bath robe. I felt instantly relaxed thanks to the dimly-lit space and relaxing music.

I was booked in for the OxyGeneo – the new super-facial treatment that promises firmer, fresher, and naturally healthier-looking skin.

For those who haven’t heard of OxyGeneo, as a quick recap, the facial treatment is made up of three technologies: Tripollar Radio Frequency – a completely safe skin tightening treatment that uses focussed radio frequency, OxyGeneo – a unique oxygenating process used during treatment that triggers a physiological response known as the Bohr Effect, and Ultrasound, which improves blood flow and absorption of the active ingredients by applying ultrasound waves to the skin.

After a gentle face cleanse, we launched into the treatment. Sherril first started with some radio frequency to stimulate collagen and elastin in my skin. I found this step incredibly relaxing as it works by heating the skin.

Next, Sherril used an Oxypod capsule to gently exfoliate my skin and remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. Sherril used a detoxifying pod on me made up of green tea extract (it smelt divine!), but there are multiple pods to choose from based on your skin needs and concerns.

Sherril then placed me under Healite LED Light Therapy, which takes the treatment to the

next level, before moving into the final step, which involved applying a Geneo serum onto my skin and using ultrasound technology to help the serum fully absorb into the skin’s deep layers. All up, the treatment only took an hour, with no downtime involved – now that’s a win!

While a treatment like this works wonders, Sherril said the key to fabulous skin also comes down to choosing great quality skin products and keeping your daily routine as simple as possible!

Cosmetic Injectables Australia

The Cosmetic team excel at making you look and feel your best authentic self .

Molly Brown is a big believer in enhancing your natural beauty to make you look and feel your best. She’s been working in the cosmetic injector game for 13 years, and now co-owns Cosmetic Injectables Australia in Brisbane and Melbourne alongside twin sisters Jessica Whalley and Samantha Hair, who founded the brand in Darwin seven years ago.

Since opening the Brisbane branch in 2020, the clinic has only gone from strength to strength.

“Opening a clinic during a pandemic was certainly a gamble, however my experience and reputation in Brisbane –as I had worked in injectables for 10 years prior – definitely helped,” Molly, who is trained as a cosmetic nurse injector both internationally and nationally, says.

Offering all the latest in cosmetic medicine treatments and services, from collagen-stimulating PDO threads to anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, fat dissolving, and dermal needling, the Cosmetic team can achieve optimal outcomes with only the safest of techniques, whether you’re wanting to treat tired eyes, slim your jawline, smooth fine lines, perk up those lips, or enhance your cheeks.

Cosmetic Injectables Australia have also introduced their own scientifically-backed skincare line, Skin Health Science, which they sell onsite as well as online. Their range features four high performance products designed to solve any skin concern and slow the signs of ageing in all skin types. You can pick up products like a cleanser, serum, and moisturiser.

Preferring a ‘less-is-more’ approach, with Cosmetic Injectables Australia you can trust that you’ll look refreshed and revitalised, and no one will be any the wiser!

“I believe a relationship between a nurse injector and their patient is just like any other relationship, it’s built upon trust,” Molly explains. “My passion for cosmetic injectables and skin treatments is because I love to enhance patients’ natural beauty and believe prevention is the key to ageing gracefully.”

Specialising in handmade volume, they offer lash extensions from classics, hybrids, Russian volume to mega volume. Their team will work closely with you to understand exactly what you’re after. Want to hear more about their treatments? Give them a call today.

Hyperbaric O2 Health

Yes, you can actually slow down the ageing process.

Feeling stressed? Keep waking up tired? It may be time to try something new. Say hello to hyperbaric chamber therapy. While hyperbaric chamber therapy certainly can’t ‘rewind the clock’, it has been shown to have anti-ageing benefits, Matthew Baker, founder of Hyperbaric O2 Health, says.

For those of you who don’t know, hyperbaric hydroxy therapy is where you breathe in a combination of oxygen and hydrogen in a pressurised environment, like a chamber. Hydrogen targets the toxins in your body, while oxygen speeds up the healing process – it’s this unique combination that reduces the onset of ageing by rejuvenating your skin and muscle tissue. Other impressive benefits include boosting your immune system and improving focus and memory.

So, how long before you start to see results? Like most treatments, it won’t happen overnight. Matt, who is a highly trained and experienced musculoskeletal therapist, remedial therapist, and body psychotherapist, recommends starting off with two sessions a week, before transitioning into weekly sessions for a period. To maximise results, add a remedial massage or musculoskeletal therapy (type of therapy designed to prevent, treat, manage, and rehabilitate musculoskeletal pain). Trust us when we say you’ll be feeling brand new in no time!

Bonsai Aesthetics

A leading skincare clinic with a focus on results-driven treatments, and most importantly, fabulous, healthy skin.

The Bonsai Aesthetics team live and breathe skincare. The skincare clinic, led by Micheal Cordwell, was born out of a desire to celebrate fabulous, healthy skin, and it’s evident in the beauty services they provide. While they offer a number of injectable treatments, such as dermal filler, bio-filler, antiwrinkle, and bio-remodelling, good skin health and knowledge is at the forefront of everything they do. For example, while bio-filler is used to plump or add volume to the skin, the treatment has also been clinically shown to improve skin texture, hydration, and elasticity.

Bonsai Aesthetics, which now has two Brisbane locations (Teneriffe and Chermside), also offers a number of dermal treatments, such as skin needling, body contouring, LED light therapy, and microdermabrasion, which, in most cases, work hand-in-hand with the above injectable treatments. They also offer cosmetic tattooing such as brows, lips, and eye liner, as well as fullbody waxing and brows.

Quality customer service is also an integral part of the business, and the close-knit team, which is made up of dermal therapists, cosmetic tattooist, registered nurses, and receptionists, will go above

and beyond to ensure you’re comfortable and are receiving only the best results every time. They also take pride in offering a personalised approach and will tailor services depending on what you need. Micheal and his team are not interested in quick, budget, or fad treatments, so you can rest assured the services they offer have been thoroughly researched and are effective.

So, if you’re on the path to happier and healthier skin, look no further than Bonsai Aesthetics.

Inígo Cosmetic

The miracle recipe your skin needs!

Deemed one of Brisbane’s premier cosmetic clinics, and rightfully so, we uncover Inigo Cosmetic’s recommendations for achieving a glowing, healthy, and youthful complexion.

Think of it like a recipe, you need all the correct ingredients for the final dish, right? Likewise with skincare – you need all the correct treatments to achieve your dream skin! That’s exactly why the team at Inigo Cosmetic recommend combining treatments for a more holistic and effective result.

Even though we all love that one-off, relaxing facial, if you’re wanting to achieve real results, the first step in the method is to develop a trusted relationship with a therapist. Bonus points for one who has access to state-of-the-art cosmetic technologies, products, techniques, and most importantly background knowledge of your skin (Inigo Cosmetic therapists are pros at all of that, by the way).

One of their most effective and recommended treatment combinations is Emface, Morpheus8 RF micro-needling, and bio-remodelling treatments for full-face rejuvenation.

Let’s break that down; Emface contracts and shortens the muscles in the face (effectively treating the structural foundation on which your skin sits), aiming to give a more lifted and youthful appearance. Morpheus8 tightens the skin, boosts collagen production, and refines the skin’s surface to address laxity, scarring, and fine lines. Bio-remodelling treatments transform the health of your skin from the inside out, by boosting hydration and also promoting collagen and elastin. Then depending on your needs, pigmentations and red spots can be addressed with Lumecca IPL. You can see how when combined, these treatments are like a miracle recipe, addressing multiple factors which contribute to ageing, dull or tired skin.

The best part? The therapists at Inigo Cosmetic combine these advanced skin technologies with luxurious, cosmeceutical-grade facials, and a prescribed at-home skincare routine to support a healthy, functional skin barrier outside of the clinic.

Keen to start your skincare journey? You’ll be pleased to know that Inigo Cosmetic offers thorough consultations to develop a curated treatment plan involving multiple modalities to achieve your ultimate skin health and beauty goals. Head to their James Street salon today or enquire online.

DIARY BEAUTY my

Tell us, what does beauty mean to you?

In my eyes, beauty represents a feeling more than it does an appearance. True beauty lies within and is underpinned by feeling good in your own skin and honouring your body well by taking good care of it. I love seeing women embrace growing older and taking the time to appreciate themselves in all stages of life. Ultimately, I feel beauty radiates from a kind heart and an open soul.

Do you follow a strict beauty routine?

Good genes have blessed me (thanks to my mama), and my beauty routine is fairly straightforward –healthy, organic, and natural choices, good sleep, keeping hydrated, daily movement, and never a day without lots of laughter. I don’t believe in being too strict, because where’s the fun in that?

Beauty products you can’t live without: I love sampling new ranges and have quite a collection of beauty products I’ve discovered and loved. But of course, there are some firm favourites I return to time and time again. I adore: It’s All Fluff Face Oil #2, Mecca Cosmetica Restoring Retinol Serum, Dr Barbara Sturm Face Cream & Night Cream, iS Clinical Eye Complex, and Biologi Hydra Calm Bio-Cellulose Mask.

What does your beauty diary look like?

My beauty diary is actually quite uncomplicated and holistic and begins on the inside with a nutritious breakfast and some morning exercise. Otherwise, a great cleanser and day cream is enough to set me up on most days, and I generally wear very minimal makeup unless doing a photoshoot. I love a good exfoliation and hydrating mask too and always remember to hydrate my skin with a night cream and eye treatment before hopping into bed for beauty sleep.

Your proudest beauty feature?

While many women spend years and a fortune denying grey hair, I’m proud of my naturally silver hair and often get asked if it’s coloured this way. The day I chose to stop dying my hair and fully embrace silver in my early 40s was a liberating moment, and I’ve never looked back. My silver hair is a reminder of my strength and wisdom, and I love the way it looks.

Best beauty advice you’ve ever received?

Growing up, my mother always told me beauty began with a smile, and I still practice that today. No matter what brand of creams you put on your face or what shade of blush you highlight your cheekbones with, when you smile broadly enough that your eyes join in the party, then that’s beautiful.

Coquette beauty

Coquette beauty focuses on the hyper-feminine aesthetic with pink cheeks, glossed lips, and winged eyeliner taking the lead. Initially coming to light during the Bridgerton craze, coquette beauty has only grown in popularity as it also gains inspiration from other adored aesthetics, such as Barbiecore, balletcore, and even clean-girl-inspired styles.

PRE-WEDDING GLOW

We spoke to two local brides on how they nailed their wedding day looks.

Planning a wedding is no small feat. There’s finding vendors, picking the perfect dress, deciding on a venue, sending out the invites, and the list goes on. When it comes to nailing that wedding glow, there’s a lot more beauty prep that goes on behind the scenes than one might expect. Curious to find out more, we chatted to local brides, Karen and Margo.

Karen Truong

Tell us a little bit about your wedding day… Our wedding was more of an intimate affair, the day went perfectly with some of our many highlights being the ceremony and speeches. As cliché as it sounds, the day went by incredibly quickly, so make sure to find moments to take it all in!

How long did your wedding beauty prep take in total?

My pre-wedding skincare timeline really amped up a year prior to the wedding.

What beauty treatments did you invest in during the lead up to the big day?

I invested in Fractional RF Needling sessions to improve skin texture concerns at the 12-month mark. The last three months prior to the wedding was really all about exfoliation, hydration, and maintaining a healthy glow. To achieve this, I did a combination of gentle peels, LED, and hydrating facials at Glo Haus and Glow Skincare Annerley.

Do you have any favourite makeup/ beauty products that helped you master your glow?

My MUA Janise Chan introduced me to the most amazing body lotion with a luminous glow that lasted all night. It’s called RCK Body Glow by OFRA Cosmetics. In terms of skincare, my holy grails are the SK II Stempower Rich Cream and Tatcha Face Masks.

Margo Smyth

Tell us a little bit about your wedding day… Our wedding day was stressfully planned but turned out to be such a relaxed day! Once we got there, nothing else really mattered other than marrying the love of my life.

BRIDE-TO-BE BEAUTY CHECKLIST

• Book in your makeup, hair, and tan trials

• Cut down on your alcohol consumption and increase water intake

• Use sunscreen daily in the lead up

• Be diligent with your skincare routine

• Choose a makeup look that’s true to your personal style

• Use an intensive moisturising mask the night before

What was your wedding day makeup look and the inspiration behind it?

My wedding makeup was just an elevated version of my everyday makeup. When I went for my makeup trial, I asked for the typical ‘Glowy Bridal’ look but I realised it just wasn’t very me! As I usually wear a black wing, my overall look on the day was inspired by vintage Hollywood glam.

What is the best beauty advice you have for future brides-to-be?

My top tip is cut down on your alcohol consumption! I cut out drinking completely two months before and never looked healthier! My skin was so glowy and clear.

Why slip, slop, slap when you can glide, glisten, and glow without sacrificing on protection? We chats to Airyday Founder, Frances van der Velden, on her journey from sunscreen cynic to SPF innovator and how our Aussie-made sunscreens are some of the best in the world. Tell us about your journey with sun protection and how it inspired Airyday:

Hi Frances, lovely to meet you! Firstly, can you tell us what your relationship with skincare and sunscreen was like before founding Airyday? Thank you so much for having me! Having been in the professional hair and skin industry for nearly 20 years, I’ve been lucky to experience some of the most incredible and innovative skin products, so, I’m quite the skincare groupie. However, my relationship with sunscreen was very different as it wasn’t even in my peripheral vision and my use of it was entirely non-existent.

The idea for Airyday was born from a serious reality check. At 36, I was diagnosed with skin cancer. Fortunately, it turned out to be a Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC). Detected early, it can be treated and cured. Whilst I acknowledged that you need to wear sunscreen every day, I actually never did. My excuse: I couldn’t find one that my skin loved. My skin is very sensitive and reactive, and most SPFs only irritated it. I also couldn’t stand the strong ‘screeny’ smells and thick, heavy textures. I knew this needed to change so I went on a hunt to find a sunscreen that I loved to apply daily, just as much as my skincare. It turned from a need, into a full-blown obsession.

The Airyday day range is classified as TGAapproved, can you let us know what this means and why it’s important?

In short, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has the most stringent and well-rounded set of sunscreen requirements in the world. TGA-listed sunscreens have all met a rigorous checklist, inclusive of specific tests required to prove the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) and UVA/ UVB broad-spectrum claims. These regulations also include rules which must be followed through the supply chain and manufacturing process. This ensures the quality of the final product on the shelf.

We’re hearing the term ‘skinscreens’ a lot more these days, can you explain how these differ from regular sunscreens? They’re essentially a new generation of sunscreen where sun protection and skincare benefits collide. They are pushing the formulation boundaries and breaking away from the traditional sticky or thick sunscreens with textures that feel and act like skincare.

How does the Airyday range vary from other sunscreens?

Our goal was to create a SPF Wardrobe – a collection of sunscreens that people could choose and swap to, based on their skin and lifestyle needs. We stand out with our unique formulas and textures by creating ‘dreamscreens’ that feel and act like skincare. Our dreamscreens are lightweight, luxurious, smell great and are infused with skin-loving actives like hyaluronic acid, vegan collagen, and niacinamide (to name a few). Each SPF can be used as the final step in your skincare routine or as a primer as the first step in your make-up routine, with a different finish (from satin, to dewy or luminous). Each dreamscreen also provides the highest protection factor of SPF50+, is UVA/UVB broad-spectrum and includes a 40-minute water resistance factor.
