Welcome to Joyful June. We particularly love this month as Mark and I have a double birthday celebration, his being the 2^nd and mine the 3^rd and we met all those years ago on his birthday!

This year will be particularly special as we will be in Cyprus and on his birthday, we renew our wedding vows in a Byzantine chapel celebrating our Golden wedding anniversary! I’ll share photos next month, but for now this photo of The Mediterranean sea, sky and infinity pool was the magical scene that captured our imagination and the idea for TEMPLESPA was conceived. Twenty-six years later, we can hardly believe that upon renewing our vows then, in the same hotel and chapel, we would be where we are today with our beautiful brand and we’re so thrilled that you are part of it, thank you.

I don’t normally devote my diary to a big, long brag on our products, but we are so thrilled and proud of our new product launch this month, it’s been a huge part of our activity and involves the whole company in a united effort to bring something so unique, innovative and a first to market. There are three trends that we have captured all in one with this product, glass skin (translucent, fresh, glowing) eyes, let’s face it we’re all obsessed with them and serums, that magical ‘underwear’ that feeds baby new skin cells and prepares for moisturiser.

If you’re anything like me, you might sometimes look in the mirror and think “I just want to look less tired”! Well, ‘just want’ no more, you have a new bestie... bring on GLASS ACT.

OMG, this is a game changer. To introduce you, it’s a state-of-the-art ‘memory-gel’ serum with a fantastic texture that instantly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, nourishing, cooling and refreshing the eye area and here’s the ‘sciency’ bit, it contains a super-power cocktail of hyaluronic acid, peptides and marine exopolysaccharides that firm and lift the eye area to provide a smooth, glass-like effect. Enriched with brightening niacinamide, a mineral blend of copper, zinc and magnesium, as well as adaptogen herb root extract that helps reduce the look of under eye puffiness and dark circles, restoring energy to tired looking eyes. If the eyes are the window to the soul, this product completely delivers our ‘science with soul’ brand credo and gives the whole eye area a visible boost.

You can use Glass Act in three ways. Firstly, like any facial serum, it’s applied under moisturiser (in our case this would either be Windows of the Soul, or Eye Truffle). The next way is applied when you are having your weekly spa treatment and whilst your facial mask(s) are on, you apply a thick layer of Glass Act all around the eye area for twenty minutes and literally watch the puffiness disappear.

The final way, and I love this hack, is to use it to freshen up the eyes on top of makeup. You know the one, you’ve had a weary day, and you need to feel and look wider awake and fresher around the eyes; so, a tiny amount is patted around the eye area and it immediately puts the sparkle back and smooths out creases and fine lines. Truly, a wonder!

As a wellness brand we are also celebrating Global Wellness Day on 13th June and it’s good for all of us to give focus and priority to our own mind-body-soul wellness, but honestly, all of us need to be kind to ourselves EVERY DAY and find that pocket of peace amongst the noise and fast pace of life.

I leave you with these thoughts and wish you a beautiful mid-summer month
My love, Liz xx
