Face Facts with Face Oils...

Fancy looking like you have just been away and back from a holiday?

I recommend choosing face oils  that contain extracts of Rose and  Rose hip seed oil. These ingredients contains high levels of Omega-3 and Omega -6 oils which are proven to nourish the skin. The combination of these oils will act as anti-inflammatory oils which will help sooth any problems on the face.

Rose is excellent for all skin types, particularly beneficial for sensitive skin and extremely useful for rejuvenating and healing the skin.

Nourishing rich face oils helps repair the skin, however  you will achieve even greater results if on your face, you exfoliate once a week to remove dead skin cells. This will not only make the skin on your face look fresher and radiant but will help the face oil and night treatments penetrate deeper into the epidermis.

The face is the first thing people see when they come in contact with you, so don't neglect that area. Not only is the facial skin soft and delicate it is very important that it is treated with tender love and care with natural ingredients that will not cause any break outs or sensitivity.

WuChi Rose Face Oil   is a favourite with Hollywood celebrities and the press. Our Rose face was voted 9/10 for facial radiance and youthful glow. And loved by our customers and featured in numerous beauty articles.


Small changes big difference...

New Year..New You...WuChi Style

This is that time of year again, when everyone makes resolutions, And pledges to be good, stops eating chocolates, says no to drinking wine, promises to stop smoking again, And adds the ultimate I will exercise more and be healthier this year.

However, we all know half of the time that the resolutions are broken by the 14th of February which is Valentine's day when you receive flowers and  a box of gorgeous irresistible chocolates you smile and gobble it all up.. I don't make resolutions; instead I set my self  achievable goals.

My advice is to set your self achievable goals in all aspect of your life, write them down and review them regularly. Then you need to decide on what you really want to achieve, how you intend to do so and put in the hard work. Simple.


5 things to help you along the way:

1. Give your skin a boost- Monthly facials will do wonders for your face.  Facials can be done DIY style or at a spa by an  experienced  facialist depends on what works for you. Exfoliate on a regular basis at least once a week if you start now you will see the results by spring, if not immediately.Remove make up before you go to bed and always use a night cream. Try our Award Winning Nourishing Night Cream

2. Drink plenty of water- Did you know that drinking non cafinatted drinks like tea actually counts toward your water intake.

3. Exercise- This aspect of our lives can never be over emphasised enough exercise, exercise, exercise. So how do you fit in exercise into your life without breaking the bank or abandoning the resolution come February. Did you know that by just fitting in a 30-45minues walk everyday will do wonders for you health. Try to get 5 portions of fruit and vegetable per day.

4. Scrub up- Body exfoliation and body brushing are one of the best things if added to your 2010 resolution will do wonders for your skin.  Daily body brushing and exfoliation will help slough off dead skin cells, it also helps boost circulation and encourages the regeneration of smoother looking skin.

5 . Stay focused- Don't give up, start small,  and incorporate these ideas gradually into your regime. These are all proven methods that work. Put on a happy face; remember nothing is more attractive than someone with a happy smile.


Think about this carefully... Are you up to the challenge...?

Happy New Year! Welcome 2010

Happy New year to you all. Here is to greater things to come in 2010. Best wishes from all the WuChi by Maks Team. We look forward to making you smile in 2010.

The Healing Power of Honey

For centuries honey has been used for its therapeutic purpose to heal all sort of ailments including cough and sore throat and of course as a natural sweetener for food.

According to research, the antiseptic and antibacterial properties of honey is as effective as modern medicine.

A senior lecturer in biochemistry at the University of New Zealand Dr Molan, found that Manuka honey from the flower of the famous New Zealand Tree Bush has medicinal properties not found in other honey. Mauka honey is known to strengthen the immune system, it helps heal wound and fights all kinds of infection internally or externally. As a drink, natural honey and lemon juice also make a great drink to start the day, as the honey will boost your energy level with a gentle detoxifying effect.

Honey is versatile and the effectiveness is noted across the food and beverage industry, health, beauty and in complimentary medicine.


Mauka honey contains nutrients vitamins, amino acids and minerals the benefits are extraordinary it is moisturising, rejuvenating, nourishing, protecting and healing.Honey works as a humectant by drawing moisture into the skin.

Here at WuChi by Maks we love our honey, we use honey in our products and are very careful where we source our honey from and the honey we use in our products is from sustainable resources.

While at the natural and organic product exhibition I  became an fan of a company called Tropical Forest honey.. very delicious honey sourced from wild bees that thrive in forest across Africa. They were so kind to also give us some sample of their Organic Beeswax to try in our products.

For a home spa  beauty experience try using honey at home for a facial.  Apply honey on your face leave for 5-10min and rinse off.

The healing power of honey to stimulate wound healing and rejuvenate healthy skin is well documented.

WuChi Connecting on Social Media

With businesses and everyone going social media mania, like twitter, flickr, blogger, and Facebook we do not want to be left out so we decided to create a WuChi by Maks fan page on Facebook where we can connect, talk more and share more behind the scene information with our subscribers and customers about our products and what we are doing. Hopefully to build a closer interactive relationship.

Although it takes a while to get used to and eventually learn /understand how to manage all the social media sites we still took the plunge. Recently we just discovered tweet deck which some how seems to make it a bit simpler by having three of the most used social media sites in one.. twitter, Facebook and my-space; on it you can post and see everything all in one. Please don't ask me for more information because we are still getting used to the new gizmo's and getting used to the newly acquired freedom of speech.

However, this will all take a while and some getting used to.

Feel free to add us as your friend on facebook or to join our fan page.
so what do you say.. Lets connect via social media the next big thing.. since slice bread

Soap Making fun Day@ WuChi

These are the images from our latest Soap making workshop. This workshop however had kids in attendance.

We decided to add a kiddies fun workshop day to our workshops due to demand from parents wanting creative activities for their children
so we decided to create one.

We all had a lovely fun day making soaps coloring them adding botanicals and making different shapes. Wow!

Who better to make the perfect audience at one of our Soap making workshop but kids. Their feed back is absolute and they say it just as it is. They all had beautiful handmade soaps to take home. We got their creative minds buzzing. Well, For me it was therapeutic to watch them happy, excited and make their own soaps by hand to take home and as presents for members of their family.
