Get ready to pamper and restore your skin
To cure the end of winter blues, we recommend taking some time out for yourself, whether it be 15 minutes or a whole afternoon, to look after you and your skin.
Perfect for this task is our Epiology® Advanced Anti-Acne Recovery Mask. It’s a luxurious facial mask designed to rescue and restore skin troubled by acne, maintain a youthful appearance, and protect against the effects of the sun and environmental free radicals.
What gives it these superpowers? The Recovery Mask combines the benefits of our patented active ingredient, IDP®, hyaluronic acid and glycerine to help your skin retain moisture and remain smooth and soft.
We love talking about IDP®, and for good reason. It’s a natural bioactive protein isolated from fresh, pasteurised milk, and acts as a powerful defensive shield against infection. IDP® penetrates deep into the pores of stubborn spots to prevent the spread of acne-causing bacteria and reduce redness and irritation, leaving skin nourished and clear.
You may have heard of hyaluronic acid before, but did you know that it is naturally produced by your body, and works to keep your skin soft and moisturised? However, the natural aging process, exposure to UV light and pollution can reduce your levels of hyaluronic acid. This can cause skin to dry out, and increase the number of wrinkles and fine lines (which we all want to avoid!), so by using a product with hyaluronic acid as an ingredient you can ensure your skin gets all its benefits.
The other hero ingredient in the Recovery Mask is glycerine. Glycerine is a natural component of healthy skin, and works to hydrate the skin to make it smooth, nourished and soft. It does this by pulling water into the outer layer of your skin from the deeper dermal layers and the air, essentially trapping the moisture to keep it hydrated.
Some days, your skin just needs that something extra, and that’s when the Recovery Mask works well in conjunction with Epiology’s three step system. Once you’ve used the Anti-Acne Foaming Cleanser, give your skin that extra boost by applying the mask to restore and rejuvenate, before applying our Advanced Anti-Acne Cream (and Extra Strength Spot Gel if needed!).

Poll: Would you help your kids out with buying a home?
OPINION: Over the past year, I’ve had the same conversation with many Waikato families again and again.
A child has found a house. The market feels like it’s moving. There’s pressure to act quickly. And before anyone has really had time to think it through, parents are being asked to step in with cash, guarantees, or equity from their own home.
Would you help your kids out with buying a home? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
