Lust at First Sight - Comvita

A naturally bright complexion is healthy and beautiful, and the best part is, it's totally possible with the gorgeous skin brightening range from Comvita. These products work to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of acne scars, pigmentation and discolouration - read on for how to achieve that natural glow!

Skin brighteners are a relatively new genre of skincare that is gaining increased popularity in Australia (click here to read more about this new skincare concept) Comvita is an Australian brand that specialises in skin brightening products containing Synergy 12 Olive Leaf Extract.

So what exactly is Synergy 12 olive leaf extract? It is an extremely powerful natural antioxidant that contains 5 times the antioxidant capacity of Vitamin C and double the power of green tea extract and grape seed extract. In fact, it contains no less than 12 natural polyphenolic antioxidants! (polyphenols are considered to be a potent source of skin brightening agents)

Comvita sources their Synergy 12 Olive Leaf Extract from their plantation in Australia. They have the world's largest specialised olive leaf grove with over 500,000 trees and the Olive Leaf Extract is harvested in the morning (when the leaves are at their most optimum) and extracted the same day. When used in skincare, it provides unique healing properties and protects the skin cells from further damage.

Comvita's wide range of skin brightening products are gentle and natural. They help support a brighter complexion and reduce the appearance of dark spots and discolouration - leaving skin looking and feeling super silky and smooth!

This weekend, why not give your face an all-over glow by first exfoliating at night with Comvita Brightening Facial Exfoliant and then applying the Brightening Facial Serum before bed. Make sure you get a good beauty sleep and then apply the Brightening Facial Moisturiser in the morning. Now, after a few days (and as hard as it may feel!) put away your foundation, concealer and illuminiser for the day and rock out with your newfound bright skin! Finish off your natural look with a messy topknot and you'll be ready for whatever your day holds!
