May is Mother's Day among many other things!

Available through Target stores, griffin+row has a great starter kit on special for Mother's Day. The griffin+row Starter Kit is a lovely and cost effective gift which contains Cleanse, Hydrate and Nourish conveniently packaged in a wet pack bag to make travelling easy.

May is also the start of colder times and colder weather generally means that our skin becomes drier.

This is why at griffin+row, we have two moisturizers: Nourish and Enrich.  At this time of year we suggest using Nourish as a day cream and Enrich as a night cream.  If your skin becomes really dry you can use Enrich morning and night.  

As your skin ages individually there is really no age factor around dry skin - it is simply up to you to decide if you need something extra, and remember as the weather becomes colder even younger skin may need Enrich. The real difference between the two moisturizes is that Enrich contains a higher concentrate of our unique formula centess+complexTM.

centess+complexTM contains the most amazing natural ingredients which have both anti-oxidant and regenerative properties. The centerpiece of this formula is centipeda cunninghami-a traditional aboriginal medicinal plant which has been used for hundreds of years by the aborigines to heal their skin.

In addition to centipeda cunninghami there are other powerful plant extracts that each targets the causes of ageing:

• Lack of hydration
• Free radical damage
• Lack of oxygenation
• Diminished collagen

These ingredients are South Australian Wine Grape Seed Extract, West Australian Sandalwood and Fragonia oil, Tasmanian Wakame and Shitake mushroom extract (this last one is the only ingredient in our centess+complexTM that is from outside Australia and is included because it has such powerful healing qualities).

It makes sense that Australia, as the world's driest continent, has become the source of powerful skin healing and regenerative plant extracts. These plants have survived in the world's toughest climatic conditions! No wonder they have such incredible skin healing qualities and benefits for our skin!

Whether you are a mother, a daughter or both - we wish you a wonderful Mother's Day.

Our thought for the month (suitable for Mother's Day) is \Worry is like a baby - the longer your nurse it the bigger it gets!
