'Supporting local' goes beyond just buying a product. Understanding the people behind the brand, learning how they got to where they are today and seeing the passion behind their products is what makes these brands something special. Ultimately, these brands make up a big part of our community. I could not be more grateful for every local brand's effort to contribute positively to our economy.
The Epiphany Directory brands are like family to us. Family that we are super proud of and want to show off! That's why we have created the "Meet The Founders" series.
Shahnaz, a mum of two gorgeous kids, is utterly obsessed with glowing skin. She has been a make up artist for the last 10 years and has worked on all types of skin and skin tones. It was during this time that Shahnaz realised how much she loved making skin look its best, and making the model's feel confident in front of the camera. But it was her own skin struggles and desire to get glowing skin that motivated the creation of Lumi Glo. If she was to have products that were clean, active and suitable for sensitive skin, she would need to develop them herself!
So she started Lumi Glo whilst still working as a full time professional makeup artist. She created products that are effective, easy to use and fun. And she has been able to measure her success through testing how her clients' skin reacted.
Shahnaz is also a beauty blogger who has had the privilege of testing out many different brands and ingredients, all contributing to her knowledge and experience today.
"I am all about skin health, the glow and self care. I love to help others in all things. I wanted to create a brand that really helps people with their skin, that can be used if you have sensitive skin without any crazy reactions but also gives the glow."
EPIPHANY PRODUCT PICKS:
The Skin Soother Sheet Mask - R99
We love this for a "Self-care Sunday", especially as we head into winter. CBD Leaf Extract, Collagen and Aloe Vera come together in this sheet mask to instantly calm and plump the skin. CBD works to soothe and hydrate the skin and, because of its anti-inflammatory properties, reduces redness and breakouts. Collagen smooths the skin and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while boosting skin elasticity and hydration levels. Aloe Vera - renowned for its calming and soothing benefits - helps heal dry and irritated skin while fading dark spots and soothing blemishes.
The Dewy Glo Face Mist - R275
A mist that brightens, hydrates, calms and protects skin. Created for sensitive skin but also skin that is dull, dehydrated and ageing. We love to mist this before using Hyaluronic Acid serum to ensure maximum hydration! Can be spritzed throughout the day (even on top of make up) to add a glow without looking shiny.
The Super Glo Hydro Boost Jelly Moisturiser - R325
This jelly moisturiser, infused with CBD Leaf Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Jojoba, Pomegranate and Squalene, has been formulated to suit all skin types. It calms and reduces redness while plumping and smoothing the skin. Although it is the perfect daily moisturiser for a dewy glow, we also like to apply a thick layer at night for a deeply hydrating mask.
