Soft, Smooth Hands & Feet

Skin gets a rough ride during the cooler months being exposed to harsh elements on a daily basis, from wind and rain to drying soaps, sanisters and air conditioning. Hands and feet are particularly prone to suffering from dryness, cracking and dermatitis during winter, but we have some simple tips you can do to keep them in soft, smooth condition!

  1. Avoid hot water when washing hands as it can strip the skins natural oils, making it more prone to dry out and becoming cracked and rough.
  2. Use sensitive soaps and sanitisers, and moisturise after EVERY hand wash. If you or a loved one suffer from dermatitis from hand washing and sanitising we recommend using one of our favourite hero products, Pure Fiji Dilo Body Butter or Gel. The molecular structure of Dilo oil remains intact with unique essential fatty acids to help alleviate many dermatological ailments. This amazing oil also naturally contains a unique essential fatty acid that soothes irritation and inflammation whilst super-charging the healing and repair process. Our Pure Fiji Dilo products soothe, nourish and replenish skin affected by: Sunburn, Windburn, Dermatitis, Dehydration Rashes, Insect bites, Acne, Eczema, Shaving irritation, Post microdermabrasion, Post Radiation and Chemotherapy.
  3. Make manicures and pedicures part of your selfcare routine. Manicures and pedicures are a great way to remove dry skin from hands and feet and feed skin specifically designed products that help with particular skin concerns. Your beauty Therapist or Nail Technician will also be able to identify any skin irritations and provide ways to treat them.

We have some fabulous Manicure and Pedicure specials on right now! See details below!

 

  1. Moisturise hands and feet just before you jump into bed for the night! Moisturising just before bed with products that contain key skin nourishing ingredients will ensure hands and feet have time to replenish moisture and hydration lost during the day and helps with the skin’s healing process overnight. Pure Fiji Hand Creams provide a powerful formula for supreme softness. Enriched with fresh coconut milk and nourishing organic oils to lock in moisture, this luxurious product is quickly absorbed into the skin and available in an array of tropical infusions.

Although this time of year can be more dull with the shorter, cooler winter days, your wardrobe sure doesn’t need to be! The easiest and most fun way to brighten up the winter months and lift your spirits is by adding colour, texture and patterns to your outfits!

From warm neutral tones to exuberant reds, we have the hot fashion trends to delve into this season so you can step our feeling fabulous whatever the weather or occasion!

Love it or loathe it, animal print is one of those fashion trends that will continue to return again and again.

Even though Leopard print seems to be the most popular, don’t forget about the other options such as zebra, giraffe, tiger and even tropical birds!

Amp up your denim with an animal print belt or shoes, or bring on instant glamour with a flowy dress or fluffy coat. And if you’re brave enough, why not get some fun nail art to top off your outfit!

Want to go a bit more neutral this winter? Nothing wrong with that!

Light brown, tan and beige continues to be a favourite this season. They pair beautifully with blue, beige and crisp white jeans. So why not welcome these neutrals to your wardrobe?

Whether you want to rock your cinnamon brown boots, your rust coat or accentuate your eyes with a chocolate eye shadow, you will be a natural at showing off your beauty!

Blue is such a classic colour that’s available in many different shades and can easily be dressed up or down.

Wear a smokey blue to the office, some navy blue to a special event or just that timeless pair of blue jeans for a casual coffee out with the girls. It’s an easy colour to wear on its own or pair with some naturals and soft pinks.

What’s the easiest way to brighten up a dull winters day? Add a splash of colour of course!

Do it your way with a piece of clothing, a scarf, a lippie or some nail polish. Whatever you choose you are bound to get some compliments and make you feel extra good.

Adding a bit of orange helps spice up winter days!

Colours such as pumpkin, sunset and salamander are warm and vibrant, while apricot, amber and sandstone has a softer feel.

Orange is associated with joy and sunshine, and when there is not a lot of sunshine around, why not create your own?!

What’s hot this winter season?

Green is definitely one of the popular colour trends this season. Whether you love a shade of deep-sea green, olive, rich green or all of them (nothing wrong with that right!) – you will definitely be looking cozy in your choice.

Pair it with black or neutrals or even some florals in pink or purple. Create a contrast, go all one tone, be YOU!

Yellow is such a stunning, but sometimes feared colour (to wear). Did you know that yellow represents personal power and fulfilment, abundance, courage and self-confidence?

You can easily introduce this colour by means of accessories or beauty products if you don’t feel quite bold enough to don a yellow jacket or pants.

Give it a try and bring some happiness and sunlight to your outfit!

An outfit isn’t complete without a sumptuous lippy! Just in time for winter, Quoi’s new lipstick shades have hit the shelves! These three fabulous colours are available in-salon now!

Regal Red from Quoi.

According to colour psychology, red is the colour most associated with passion, action and energy. Red represents confidence, lust and in some cultures, it represents luck. No wonder there’s something so sultry and divine about a woman who wears a bold red lip.

Let’s go to Paris! If only we could right now…
We’ll take you there with our Parisian Pink lipstick from Quoi.

The colour pink is the colour of universal love of oneself and of others. Pink represents friendship , affection, harmony, inner peace, and approachability. Pink is the sweet side of the colour red.

Dreaming of a tropical getaway, relaxing on white sand beaches, dining on fresh tropical fruits and juices, swimming in the pristine oceans of the South Pacific?

Although we can’t physically travel to the tropics right now, indulging in our Pure Fiji products will transport you straight to Fiji without leaving the comfort of your own home!
From body scrubs to butters, exotic body oils to lotions, your skin will not only thank you for using Pure Fiji, but your senses will too!

Sugar cane, pineapple, papaya, passionflower and green coconut are freshly harvested and processed within hours to preserve their fresh bounty of naturally occurring nutrients.

Pure Fiji’s blend of cold pressed coconut, dilo, macadamia and sikeci nuts revered for their medicinal and beautifying properties contribute pure, unadulterated nourishment, moisturisation, nutrition and protection. Deep-sea plants provide protection from the inevitable aging effects of the sun and the inimitable Ngi grass – living within reach of the ocean spray – contribute to the formula for enhanced hydration and drastically improved skin moisturisation.

The rich creamy fragrance of a delicately sweet coconut makes you remember the gentle caress of a sun soaked breeze, and let your imagination transport you back to paradise!

The amazing noni plant has been used by South Pacific Islanders as a source of medicine for over 2000 years. Noni fruit, Noni leaf hydrosols and Noni seed oil are all used in this skin rejuvenating range.

Discover the invigorating multi layered aroma of this exotic fruit with sparkling berry notes, intoxicating blossoms and the freshness of green leaves carried on warm tropical breezes.

Loved and shared throughout the islands, this refreshing and zesty fragrance conjures imagery of sun kissed days and balmy nights.

How to start prepping your skin for winter

Step up your moisturising game

Don’t forget your sunscreen

Just because you’re not hitting the beach and basking in the warm sun this winter, doesn’t mean you should forget about sun protection altogether. While it may not feel sweltering hot, the winter sun can still do plenty of damage. UVA rays are present all year round and are the main contributing factor for accelerated ageing.

Protect your skin every day with broad spectrum sun protection combined with a boost of moisture. Our best-selling non-whitening hydrating formula is fast absorbing and lightweight. Suitable for dry skin types.
