December
What makes us feel alive, refreshed, renewed and inspired this month
WIN: Protect and Renew duo, as seen in the NZ Herald
Our “smart looking” Protective Day Cream and Hydrating Mist Toner got the nod from the Herald’s trend-spotting Viva magazine last month. Praising the range’s affordability and use of marine ingredients, beauty editor Janetta Mackay said: “the toning mist is a lovely pairing with this day cream, which works well under makeup.” For your chance to win our dynamic duo presented in a beautiful gift pack, email your name and address to info@obiqoskincare.com with “gift pack” in the subject line by 20 December.
Congratulations to Jacqueline of Wadestown in Welllington who won the prize draw in our October newsletter. |

INSPIRED: Everyday luxury
At first glance you could be forgiven for thinking Obiqo’s chicly presented range of skincare with marine extracts comes with a budget-blowing price tag. Think again! Our premium product line is priced from just $30. Obiqo is an everyday luxury for women who are living life to the full, says Wellington-based founder Phillippa Fletcher. “Marine extracts have been used in skincare since ancient times. Today these traditions have been revitalised and renewed for contemporary use, using the latest in peptide technology. We have been able to include some of these outstanding skincare ingredients, such as organic sea lavender from the salt marshes of France, and marine collagen and elastin." |
REFRESHED: Our quay player
Whangarei’s Rosemary Cox possesses a mermaid-like ability to entice sailors ashore. Her quayside store, Nautical Trenz, is a popular destination for boat-bound tourists and locals alike. The specialist retailer now stocks Obiqo. “We’re on the marina here and that’s why Obiqo is relevant to us with its sea theme.” The Restoring Night Cream and Gentle Face Wash are personal favourites, she says. “The cleanser is fantastic. I use foundation and the cleanser just whips through it.” Asked what makes her feel refreshed, she answers naturally enough, “walking outside and seeing the water and breathing in the sea air.” Visit Nautical Trenz’s website.
RENEWED: Less stress
Let’s raise a toast to new findings from US stress scientists that say socialising is good for your health. Wrinkles, greying hair and sagging muscles – stress takes a heavy toll, inside and out. But there are lifestyle changes we can make to counteract the damage, says Thea Singer in Stress Less: The new science that shows women how to rejuvenate the body and the mind, including having good times with loved ones. It’s floor-filling music to our ears this party season. The book also champions the benefits of meditation – taking time out and slowing down – or finding what we like to call the "Obiqo moment," a still point in a busy day. |
