Reflecting on a testimonial from our website when a good friend gifted to another good friend a bottle of deLadonica’s Amazing Goddess Serum!
It really tells a story of how we look on the outside can reflect on how we feel on the inside, something deLadonica is always trying to highlight and one of the many reasons why our skincare is so important.

Friends birthday
What do you get for a friend's 70th birthday, especially when they live in a motor home.....I know.... DeLadonica Facial Serum.....I love this product....my friend was starting to get out of bed late and stay in her pj's all day.....but after using the serum.....her skin was looking and feeling good.....it encouraged her to go have her hair done as well......... feeling much better about herself.
SJ
This is a perfect example of how this serum made this 70 years of age woman FEEL!
She was a bit low key, sleeping in, unmotivated and unenergized.
I did speak with Sdj and the friend also commented that once she started to use the serum and saw this radiance and vibrant glow from a more younger freshly revitalised image looking back at her in the mirror was… so uplifting!
It made her feel much better, feel much better about herself. Happier!
Feeling happier about how she looked made her feel much better on the inside too.
It brought change… it changed her daily activities, her daily life!
She felt energised to bounce out of bed and not sleep in.
She felt an exuberance to get up, get moving and do something active!
She felt motivated enough to even go and get her hair done!
This surely added even more power to her newfound energies, happiness and confidence!
How good is that?
All because of our lovely little serum!
So, if you need a lift just like Sdj’s friend or know someone else who does…
… maybe you can help them or yourself
Even More Than You Know!
Ask yourself are you happy with your skin to age ratio?
Is your skin looking fabulous?
Is it worth a try to see if a small simple change like our lovely little bottle of Amazing Goddess Serum could add a more youthful, radiant glow and make you much happier too?
We can’t help ourselves; we are our own worst critic!!
But if you want to step things up and are having concerns with a dull complexion, fine lines and wrinkles, dry skin, oily skin, enlarged pores etc…
And you definitely want Non-Toxic…
… No Chemicals, No Nasty Ingredients…
… then let’s talk… grab a coffee prop your feet up.
… Every deLadonica skincare product is 100% Natural ingredients!
Because like you, we don’t want nasty toxic chemicals to rub all over our face and body either!
Why would anyone want that?
Just one quick note… at deLadonica we often like to steer people away from chemical products. ‘Parabens’ is one of our most squinty eyed candidates for that!
Parabens have been used in cosmetics, skincare and personal hygiene products for decades.
Parabens are a group of man-made chemicals that are used for preserving the product.
They are toxic and can cause allergies and irritations.
Parabens have been identified as a cancer risk. Parabens can activate the hormone estorgen.
High levels of estrogen have been found in breast cancer tumors.
Breast cancer is also associated with the continual use of personal care products containing parabens. Personal care products commonly used near the breast area.
Parabens are definitely something deLadonica steers way away from!
For your wellbeing, may we suggest you have a look through the products you own! In your product bag, draws, cupboards, medicine cabinet, travel bag, everywhere!
If you find any products with parabens on the ingredients list, may we suggest you throw them in the bin!
Perhaps from this day forward, when you purchase any products whether it be skincare, body wash, moisturiser, shampoo, conditioner… anything… and you see the word parabens on the list… please, please, please put it back on the shelf!
So please, do yourself a favour and always read the ingredients list.
Here is some information regarding carcinogenic ingredients to look out for
You want a skincare that adds radiance and a more youthful glow to your complexion! Right?
You want results! Results from your skincare that you can feel and see!
That’s the big message right there… feel and see!
You want to see proof that your efforts and choice of skincare is worthwhile and working for you!
You want something that feels beautiful and smells amazing?
You want something that truly is 100% Natural and Organic?
deLadonica’s Amazing Goddess Serum is all those things.
Our Amazing Goddess Oil Serum is 100% Natural ingredients and Organic ingredients are always used wherever possible in all deLadonica products.
You can checkout the percentages of each product on the product page on our website. Click on the ingredients tab and you can see the percentages.
You’ll see our products are always One Hundred percent natural ingredients.
Mother Nature’s gifts makes amazing skincare products!
And amazing household cleaners and healers for many purposes.
But it’s not possible to have 100% Organic ingredients across a complete skincare range. We can only put in what is possible here on planet earth that is organic.
We need emulsifiers and thickeners and acids etc to make products and not all these things exist as organic. Natural Yes! Tick that box!

Feeling Good
Well, I’ve had several compliments lately “Gee you are looking good" Can only be DeLadonica products. These products are so nice to use, no eye iterating (which I do often suffer from some products) and leave the skin so smooth after using. Honey & Oatmeal Gentle Exfoliator is so creamy, it looks good enough to eat. and leaves face feeling so smooth, as does the body feel after a scrub with Coffee and Orange with Shea Butter and the smell of the coffee, oh just yummy. I use most of the products and I have no complaints at all. I really like the facial serum, the vitamin E, day and night cream all so lovely and hydrating. When your skin feels soft and smooth and looks good, you Feel Good. Do yourself a favor and use the products.

Won’t use anything else
Absolutely love this oil. I have been using it for about 8 months and it’s a product that has given my face results I’ve been looking for in a skin care line for a long time. My skin glows beautifully and I’ve been complemented on how good my skin looks so many times. A small amount goes so far.

Amazing
This serum really works my neck and de'colletage which has shown the damage of age and way too much sun had improved immensely I love these products and this is one of my favourites.
All those lovely ladies with their lovely testimonials all have different skin types and they are a variety of different age groups.
No matter if your skin is normal, oily or dry The Amazing Goddess Serum will be suitable for you.
We have formulated her for all skin types.
DRY SKIN: THE BEST HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR HYDRATION
Suitable for dry skin magnificently capable to provide plenty of hydration and nourishment for the dryer skin types. And ingredients that provide that hydration for a long time.
All day hydration is a plus and a must in our hot climate here in Australia. Powerhouse humectants and occlusives are also what makes this serum so great.
Humectants draw moisture from the air around you helping keeping your skin hydrated all day long.
Occulsives form a protective barrier, preventing moisture loss from the skin. Once hydration is in, occlusives barriers trap the moisture in the skin.
Don’t forget… deLadonica products are 100% natural ingredients.
These are light and feel refreshing on the skin, not heavy like some occlusives can be.
OILY SKIN: OUR SECRET SAUCE
This is a sneaky formulators secret source of knowledge how these natural ingredients behave and what their special superpowers can achieve.
The spectacular combination of Jojoba Oil and Geranium have a special talent they perform gifted to us by Mother Nature.
When these two are combined they are a powerhouse at letting our skin know that it has produced enough sebum and will stop it from doing that!
This is why it is suitable for oily skin. Oily skin doesn’t know it has produced enough sebum which is why it ends up as being oily skin. In turn it then can become clogged in our pores, which can lead to acne and other blemishes and enlarged pores making our skin appear older than it is.
Very clever our Mother Nature.
These ingredients will perform this task individually as well, but when blended together in the same bottle, they become a powerhouse!
NORMAL & COMBINATION: SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!
Put simply, if it works for them, it works for you too!
HOW IT WORKS:
Amazing Goddess natural organic ingredients facial oil serum offers a multitude of benefits that can transform your skincare routine and enhance your overall appearance.
By harnessing the power of vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, the ingredients in this serum provides deep nourishment to the skin, promoting a youthful and radiant complexion.
The potent combination of natural oils such as Jojoba and Coconut and Pomegranate and every other amazing ingredient helps to rejuvenate the skin by reducing fine lines and wrinkles while improving elasticity for a more youthful appearance.
These combined ingredients are specially selected and formulated to be working magnificently behind the scenes for you.
They are building strong skin cells, strong cellular blocks that can build up thin skin. Thin skin drops easily and is prone to wrinkle and show those fine lines easier than plumper skin.
So How Can deladonica’s Amazing Goddess Serum Boost Confidence?
BOOSTING CONFIDENCE: VIBRANT RADIANCE! NO MORE DULLNESS.
We look better, we feel better. As you will have read our story from Sdj already.
Isn’t it great when we feel much more eager and ready to take on the day ahead?
Imagine how would feel if you were much happier with the reflection looking back at you in the mirror if your skin looked more radiant, glowing, and vibrant!
That dull or drab complexion now gone and the disappointment when you leave the mirror… Gone!
Imagine that you even start to see fine lines have diminished. Maybe even a little lift is starting to appear.

]]>No doubt you’ve heard of ‘butter’ for skin. You’ve probably heard of their popularity and that people have gone a little crazy over them and they are in products everywhere!
Body Butters! Shea Butter! Coconut Butter!
Have you wondered… WHY?
What are the benefits of using BUTTERS FOR OUR SKIN?
The answer is … HYDRATION! HYDRATION! HYDRATION!
Butters Also Improve Skin Appearance and Radiance!!!
How Good!
Butters have a long LIST Of Benefits!!
Beautiful! … Beautiful! … Beautiful! … Benefits!!!
That’s what I like in my skincare products! A long list of benefits!
How about you?
That’s what I like about deLadonica products.
Every product is a cocktail of benefits and surprise!!
Surprise here means visual skin improvement, change, radiance, glow, anti-aging, all that jazz!
I reckon I know your answer!
You like lots of benefits and Cocktails and Surprise too!
Good!
Butters contain a wealth of enriching vitamins, particularly A, E and F.
This helps provide relief for conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
They are packed with antioxidants that help combat signs of aging!
They even act as anit-inflammatory’s.
They are great for helping relieve sunburn by nourishing the skin as well as providing that hydration to help heal and re-hydrate.
Many also say butter feels so luxurious that it nourishes both the body and the soul.
Butters work significantly to help improve skin elasticity and promote a healthy complexion.
Right there… straight up I just mentioned two little things butters and vitamins do for our skin.
Did you notice or did you speed read straight over top of them, with a ‘yeah yeah heard it all before kind of thing?’
Did you just go back and look for them? …
No need to, here they are again in caps…
PROMOTES SKIN ELASTICITY & HEALTHY COMPLEXION
There are lots of reasons we spend our time shopping for good quality skin care.
Then we decide carefully which products we are going to spend our money on.
Then we spend time again using the products massaging them into our skin daily.
These reasons are:
To look our best we use products that AGREE WITH US!
We want:
Products that TAKE ACTION!
Products that DO SOMETHING!!
Products with BENEFITS!!
Products that are ANTI-AGING!!!
There it is! That’s’ the big one… ANTI-AGING!!!
We all desire to look Our Best and Younger!
These two things : PROMOTES SKIN ELASTICITY & HEALTHY COMPLEXION
That is what they both do…
The intense hydration that the butters supply is a huge help to both these factors.
The hydration helps keep skin supple and bouncy.
When we see a dehydrated wilting shrivelling plant, you know straight away, that plant needs water.
Our skin is the same, it constantly needs help in hydration.
The more we keep that up, the better our skin condition over the day, the week, the years.
Butters are abundant in antioxidants, and fatty acids that work synergistically to nourish and protect the skin.
This is just part of the way it helps us keep a healthy complexion!
Healthy Complexion = Beautiful skin = Looking Younger = Anti-aging = Looking Great = Happy Us!
These Fatty acids are a vital important element the skins needs.
They act as building blocks in the skin cells.
They strengthen the skin's surface layers for a smoother, healthier and younger-looking complexion. A healthy complexion!
Here’s Some More Cocktail & Surprise!
More significant benefits of using natural organic butters is their ability to deeply moisturize the skin without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue.
Focus on that again…
Deeply moisturizes skin… very important!
Without clogging pores… repeat… very important!
Clogging pores can lead to breakouts, blackheads, wrinkles & aging… boo to that!!
These nutrient-rich products offer a wide range of benefits for our skin, making them an essential addition to any skincare routine.
The emollient properties of butters such as shea, cocoa, and mango make them ideal for restoring dry or damaged skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and supple.
The use of natural and organic butters cannot be understated.
Overall, incorporating these luxurious ingredients into your skincare regimen can lead to visibly improved skin texture and overall radiance.
In summary and conclusion the benefits of using skincare products that contain butters assist in radiant hydrated younger looking healthier skin!!!
Including butters into your skincare is a game changer and extremely beneficial and luxurious.
Everything deLadonica is all about!

Avocado! What a delicious, nutritious vitamin bearing, tasty little pretty green gift from Mother Nature!
Avocado’s brilliant beautiful colours gloriously dress up our plates, salads and smoothies and our skincare too!
These days avocado is just as famous and beneficial in skincare as it is in our salad or on toast!
It is silky and rich and feels absolutely beautiful on our skin.
Vitamins & Benefits
It is nourishing and hydrating and contains lots of vitamins A, B, C, D, E & K. (Riboflavin B2, Niacin B3, Pantothenic Acid B5 & Pyridoxine B6) It is also high in Folate, Magnesium, Potassium.
Avocado absorbs well into the skin and has long lasting efficacy. For these reasons is also a big part of why it works so well in skin and hair care.
It is so beneficial to our skin with plenty of magic tricks up its sleeve to help us inside and out.
Abundant in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and omega-9’s.
All the while keeping our skin looking radiant and beautiful with a more youthful glow. Mother Nature’s ingredients in skincare like avocado helps keep skin and all the components beneath the skin surface functioning strong and healthy with evident results.
All these also help fight free radicals. If you want to know more about free radicals or kick in a reminder of how they are nasty to us you can read our blog here.
Free radicals causes ageing, contributing to the early wrinkles on our face by introducing fine lines and wrinkles.
There are many benefits from all these nutrients and the list of benefits is long but here is a few to mention.
They help boost collagen production which in turn is generating strong healthy skin cell blocks.
You may already know that as we age, our body slows down as does our collagen production. So we need to continually boost it and help it along.
In turn to this the avocado smooths and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles.
It is regenerating and rejuvenating, soothes inflammation and is repairing and healing to our skin and hair.
Avocado provides moisture for the skin, therefore is hydrating, which helps in anti-ageing, dryness, flakiness even psoriasis and eczema.
These are all things the skin loves and thrives on and helps in the anti-ageing process.
deLadonica
This is what deLadonica is all about! Anti-ageing!
This is how we want to help and provide for you!
By putting the best into ourselves! To be our best beautiful self!
So we are looking radiant and glowing!
And we want to provide the best information and products in the anti-ageing process for you!
Wrinkles & Dead Skin
Avocado is one of those wonderful ingredients that cleverly sloughs away dead skin cells from our skin surface. This is such a major step in skincare and anti-ageing routines.
Dead skin cells on our skin surface, causes blockages, blackheads, acne, infection and wrinkles.
Dead skin on the skin surface can also imitate and just appear to look like ageing skin and wrinkles.
Don’t forget about the scalp which is the base for healthy hair.
As we have already mentioned how avocado is good for the skin in repairing and healing and providing vitamins and nutrients, all this flows onto the hair shaft as well.
Avocado is hydrating. Having dry skin is a sure fire way to age quicker. Think of your skin as a plant. If you don’t water your plant, how does it look? Dehydrated, sagging, browning and sad. Water your plant and see the branches, fronds and leaves all stand up and watch it green up and have healthy soil and is then capable to flower! Your skin behaves on the same sort of basis. Hydrate is and watch it flourish!
Hair
Avocado is one of the few ingredients that can actually penetrate into the hair shaft to hydrate, heal and repair and seal cuticle cells.
That right! That is almost all that needs to be said about avocado oil and hair. As you read above how good it is for the skin, this includes our scalp.
Avocado Oil helps smooth the hair and makes it pretty and shiny! It helps condition and detangle and all those wonderful amazing vitamins and minerals helps prevent breakage.
Because avocado is hydrating and sloughs away dead skin cells and all the other skin benefits we have mentioned, this helps with those prone to dandruff.
Psoriasis and eczema can occur on the scalp as well as anywhere else on the body, so avocado oil can be a healer here as well.
Dandruff can also be caused by dead skin laying on the scalp or dryness and irritation. Of course there are many other reasons too like stress or using the wrong shampoo or not washing the scalp often enough.
Eating Avocado
You’ve all heard the saying ‘you are what you eat.’
What you put into your mouth certainly participates and reflects on how we look on the outside.
For example eat too much sugar you will most certainly have pimple outbreaks and a larger waistline. In fact you will be most likely to put on weight all over your entire body, not just your waistline.
Eat foods that are good for you and contain healthy vitamins and minerals and antioxidants this will reflect in your skin and hair too.
A poor diet can absolutely reflect on your hair, like dull lifeless hair, breakage, split ends and slower growth.
Eating avocado as well as topically on your scalp and hair can help promote stronger healthier hair. You are what you eat!
Avocado is most definitely one of the top delicious foods that can deliver amazing health benefits!
It is good for your metabolism and helps you to have healthy radiant skin and hair. Unlike the sugar, avocado fights off acne and bacteria. Remember avocado is an antioxidant which fights free radicals.
Including avocado in your daily diet is definitely a big plus! But beware eat too much you could start to put weight on.
Avocado is something that a doctor may recommend to a cancer patient. Suggesting eating as much as they possibly can to help put weight on, as well as absorbing all those sensational vitamins and minerals the avocado has to offer.
A good rule of thumb could be no more than half an avocado a day for a person eating 3-6 meals a day balanced with protein, carbs and greens etc.
Avocado is also abundant in lauric acid which also has many favourable benefits just to name a couple it can help with viral infections and flu’s.
more deLadonica
deLadonica has been sure to include avocado in our products for us to receive and benefit from its amazing potential.

Amazing Hair Mask Serum: We mentioned earlier how amazing and caring avocado is for the hair and scalp. It is certainly included in our hair mask along with other top shelf ingredients that are so amazing for hair and scalp care, like Coconut and Pomegranate and Jojoba.
Avocado was selected as a key ingredient in our hair mask serum because it penetrates so well into the hair shaft, not just sit on top. This gives you beautiful and healthy looking hair as well as smooth and shiny. And is one of the best ingredients for keeping your scalp healthy. Having healthy hair starts at a healthy scalp. The avocado also helps heal the hair shaft making it stronger against hair breakage. This also improves hair loss and malting from the scalp including for men, even elderly ones. Some even say they see less greys once they start using the Amazing Hair Mask Serum.
Body Oil: deLadonica’s Body Oil should be called Goddess Oil. It gives such beautiful glowing radiant skin and heals many skin issues like rashes and dryness, bumpy skin, rough elbows, itching and the list goes on. Avocado again was chosen for many reasons we have already pointed out but one of the things I love about it is its magic worked. If you’ve ever wondered about free radicals and wondered are these ingredients all really working and protecting us. When it comes to our Body Oil, the evidence of this may be found on the toilet seat. If you’ve ever found traces of grey on your toilet seat, looks a bit like dirt and oil mixed together. This could most likely be the ingredients from a product you are using that is leaching toxins out from your body. Seemingly from the product or Body Oil sucking out toxins and impurities and bringing them to the surface of the skin. This type of evidence is not visible on our clothes but a white plastic toilet seat will certainly show you! If you are doubtful, try it yourself and you may see. After showering rub our Body Oil all over your legs and thighs or whole body and give it a little time.
Coming Soon to deLadonica: we have a Green Clay Mask power packed with powerful green ingredients such as Avocado, Green Tea, Matcha Tea, Spirulina & Peppermint. It works absolutely beautifully smoothing and deep cleaning the skin and working its magic in anti-ageing. Along with that will be some other clay masks that we can’t wait to bring to you!
We give a little help for doing this from both inside and outside!
Turn back the clock! Be happy with your skin & its appearance!

All those things mentioned helps reduce the visibility and presence of fine lines and wrinkles.
Hyaluronic Acid is therefore an amazing anti-ageing wonder. And we don’t want to go without it!
Super Powers of Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
If it does all this, why do we not plaster HA on our face and entire body all day long?
This is because HA has a daily limit to our skin. Too much HA topically would be damaging and reverse its wonderful affects and cause skin to dry out.
Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in the body, but unfortunately like everything else its presence decreases as we age.
The average size human body consists of approximately 15 grams of HA.
Feeding more HA into the body can help hydrate and lube skin, cells and joints.
We can get HA from food sources such as:
Bone Broth
Soy Products
Sweet Potatoes
Potatoes
Carrots
Oranges
Lemons
Grapefruit
Turnips
Artichoke
Almonds
Spinach
Kale
Brazil Nuts
Cashew Nuts
Chai Seeds.
Hyaluronic Acid can be found in almost every cell in the body.
Everyday 20 billion cells in our body die off and are replaced with new cells.
So, we need to continually and repeatedly replenish and nourish those new cells that are growing and developing every single day!
Almost 50% of the body’s HA is found in skin tissue. This is in both the deep dermal layers and top layers. Remember as we age our HA levels are declining.
Feeding our skin HA topically is hugely beneficial. Your anti-ageing daily skincare routine should absolutely definitely include HA. If your skincare routine goals are for anti-ageing, then HA is a major player.
Feeding HA from the inside with foods is certainly beneficial and imperative. As we now know that approximately 50% of HA is going to our skin. We need to keep supplies up for HA to be beneficial to help with other things like eye and joint health.
And as you also now know, HA is like a very thirsty plant and needs watering. We have just shone a spot light on one of the many good reasons why you should be sure to keep well hydrated and keep up the approximate 8 glasses of water a day as a rule of thumb.
Remember… Hyaluronic Acid draws moisture in!
Some warnings:
There are different strength levels (or molecular weights) of HA. The different strengths (weights) can depend on how far into the skin layers HA can get.
Some HA molecule weights are larger than others. The larger HA molecules sit on top of the skin, while smaller molecules can penetrate deeper into dermis layers.
So, where does HA draw moisture from?
This is something most beauty brands especially the big ones don’t tell us. And why would they? They don’t want to bother us with this information.
They know we just want them to do the homework and put a product in a bottle for us to use and hopefully works!
But, here at deLadonica we believe you should be made aware of the best and safest way to use any ingredient or product.
We also believe that knowing this type of information will be something of interest to you.
Once you know more about the product you are putting into your skin, you may want to make some alterations. You may want to put more on, or less, or change a product all together to make it work better for you.
After all, this is what it’s all about… anti-ageing and caring for our skin.
This next part explains how it can get a bit tricky using HA!
But we are here to help you work it out and make it simple!
Nobody wants a hectic routine!
Not too many brands will tell you this information, but the information is out there on the big World Wide Web!
These are some questions you may want to ask yourself.
Also keep in mind a company or skincare brand doesn’t know what your other skincare products are.
So, here are the questions:
How moisturising are the products your using now? Are they great, ordinary or poor. Perhaps you’re not sure?
Are you using more than oneproduct that contains HA?
How many times a day are you using these products?
Remember… HA draws moisture in!
HA is looking for moisture to pull in, like a slow yet strong magnet.
If there is no moisture, this results in HA searching deeper within the skin layers to pull moisture from. If it can’t find any, then the skin dries out.
This causes HA to have the reverse effect and then becomes damaging and drying to the skin, instead of hydrating and providing that beautiful bouncy plumpness and giving that radiant glow.
The company selling you HA also does not know much water you drink.
Are you staying hydrated or not?
What climate are you working in, air con or the hot sun?
Are you in a dry humidity area?
Are you sweating all your moisture out of your body?
How many times today have you applied your HA skincare products?
How much did you put on?
Did you pump out 3 or 4 squirts or just 1 as per the directions on the bottle?
Sometimes more than you wanted squirts from the applicator. If you are at your daily limit, you would want to be sure you are hydrating your skin inside and out.
All these things can factor in to whether HA is going to work for or against you.
It would not be unusual that a person reads the wonderful good things about HA and wants the magic to happen, so they dump large amounts several times a day onto their skin, unaware of these important facts and in turn ends up with dried out skin and wrinkles. All the hard work and effort failed.
There is a safe daily limit how much HA we can use on our skin.
deLadonica’s Hyaluronic Acid Eye Gel is safe to use up to five times a day.
We created it this way for a couple of reasons.
Firstly to allow room for you to use it more than twice a day.
Many people like to give themselves a refreshing top up of their skincare products during the day or night.
Secondly we wanted to allow room in case you are using more than one product in your daily skincare routine that also contains HA.
When using HA you need to think of your skin as a very thirsty plant that needs watering and attention!
The fix:
What should you do when applying HA? Don’t worry, this is simple!
Applying HA: Hot Tip!
HA should be applied to damp skin with wet fingers! Tap a little water into the skin along with the HA product!
If at any point you have completed your skincare routine that contains HA and you soon after feel a slight dry or tacky feeling, simply wet your fingers and tap some moisture into the skin. Simple.
Another Hot Tip:
Even hours after your skincare routine, even with make-up on, tap a little water on your face and feed the thirsty plant! Give the HA in your skin something to absorb and pull in, so it can plump and radiate you!
This practice will give HA a platform to work with.
This is watering your thirsty plant.
The other products in our daily skincare routine from the cleanser through to the toner to the serums and creams should have hydrating properties and ingredients. These will help water the thirsty plant.
Remember HA is pulling moisture in from its surroundings.
All deLadonica products contain ingredients that provide intense hydration!
Is HA getting into deeper layers of the skin or the upper layers?
There are smaller and larger HA molecule types.
Both smaller and larger HA molecules are beneficial to the skin.
While the smaller molecule types can penetrate deeper into the skin layers better for more intense hydration and plumping.
The larger molecules can sit on the upper layers giving more visible results, but with a shorter life span. Regular top ups are a good way to go as long as you do not exceed the daily limit.
You can use deLadonica HA Eye Gel up to 5 times a day! As long as this is the only product you are using that contains HA.
Currently, deLadonica has only one product on the market containing HA!
If we ever bring another product into our collections then you would need to alter that number ‘5’!
It is most likely when you purchase your HA product you will not know what size molecules the HA is in your new product.
Either way, HA will pull moisture from all or any direction, from outside the skin or deeper layers within the skin. So to be safe water the thirsty plant!!
Science
Some science explains that HA is bound to collagen on one side of a cell and links on to water molecules on the other, this contributes to the plumping effect.
Researchers have learned that HA belongs to the extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules of the skin.
The ECM are vital and important layers in between these skin layers. They are important to the functions of everything that consists in these skin structures. For example how the cells take to each other. How they communicate during the life of the cell. When to die off to allow fresh new cells enter and exist. They are made up of fibres, and protein and glycoprotein and collagen and so on.
The diagram below shows the skin layers from the top the epidermis, the dermis and hydro dermis. And the ECM layers in between.
Some HA Trivia
High levels of HA increases protection from free radical damage, hydration, arthritis, joint lube, inflammation and some eye disorders and more.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) was first used commercially in 1942 as an egg white substitute in bakery products.
A somewhat large 30% of protein is made up of collagen.

Why should you do a body scrub and why is it best to do a coffee body scrub?
Body scrubs remove dead skin cells. That’s reason number one right there!
Why is it important to remove dead skin cells?
Everyday 20 Billion cells in our body die and our body can replace 20 million cells in just a few seconds. So over our lifetime the body is busy replacing and regenerating new skin, hair, blood, saliva and so on.
When this replacement process is taking place, our body sheds an entire layer of our skin every two to four weeks. This leaves dead skin cells sitting on the top layers of our skin. These dead skin cells if not removed can start to cause some skin issues which gives an unhealthy aged look. Pores become clogged, acne and blemishes appear. Our skin looks dull and can inflame psoriasis and eczema.
So, this is when a body scrub or exfoliation is needed to remove the dead skin cells and reveal fresh new clean, radiant skin.
Without exfoliation or scrubbing as the skin becomes clogged with dead skin cells it also becomes quite flaky and dry and patchy and accelerates skin issues and ageing. This is why a coffee body scrub is an excellent choice!
The benefits and results of a body scrub or exfoliation.
Giving your face and body a refreshing scrub or exfoliation, scrubs away the dead skin cells. Exposing newly hydrated, nourished and healthier skin. This helps combat the earlier mentioned skin issues and is an anti-ageing procedure and treatment.
This new fresh skin is now more vibrant and radiant and polished and will feel very smooth, buffed and polished.
The new fresh skin allows moisture and nutrients and vitamins into the skin much better than the clogged dead cell skin. The renewed freshly scrubbed skin responds to what is being fed to them.
The ingredients in a body scrub should be packed with powerful active ingredients that replace and hydrate, nourish, regenerate, rejuvenate and help build strong skin cellular building blocks etc.
It’s helpful to think of your skin as a special plant you need to keep hydrating and fertilizing to keep alive and in peak condition.
Why is a coffee body scrub so good?
Coffee is an amazing wonderful benefit to skincare.
Coffee and as a coffee scrub is invigorating, stimulating and soul lifting!
It can help be awakening but also calming at the same time. Its aroma is mood lifting and helps overcome fatigue.
Studies have shown that coffee helps promote healthy skin. Coffee is a powerful antioxidant and fights free radicals. It has antimicrobial properties to help protect skin from germs.
Coffee body scrubs help circulate blood flow, this helps pump more oxygen through our entire body.
Coffee can also help boost collagen and elastin and help reduce cellulite and dimples and reduce the premature ageing of cells. Particularly in the common cellulite areas like stomach, thighs and buttocks.
Coffee is an excellent exfoliator. The exfoliating action brightens skin, also good for the eye area in a facial exfoliator.
Coffee contains vitamin B3, this is good for helping fight off cancer. It reduces inflammation and acne.
Coffee sloughs away dead skin cells brilliantly.

]]>You’ve probably heard the term ‘free radicals’ many times and how antioxidants help fight free radicals. You’ve no doubt been curious what these ‘free radicals’ are and what they do and what they mean for us humans?
Free radicals are unstable molecules that have an unpaired electron in their outer orbit and can damage our cells. Electrons like to be in pairs. Oxygen in the body splits into single atoms aka ‘free radicals.’ Like hyenas they scavenge and seek. They find other electrons to become a new pair this causes damage to cells, proteins and DNA.
Free radicals can alter our DNA and trigger diseases in the human body.
We actually need to have a balance of antioxidants and free radicals for physiological function of the human body, such as growth and healing from nutrition in our body.
We can get this much needed nutrition from the food we eat and what we put into our skin.
What causes free radicals to affect us?
Although free radicals are produced naturally in the body, our environment and things found within our environment and lifestyle are known to cause free radicals to be disruptive and accelerate their production.
These factors can be caused by:
UV rays from the sun
Pollution
Smoking
Alcohol
Pesticides
Exposure to X-rays, ozone, air pollutants, industrial chemicals.
Exposure to toxic chemicals, this can be from our personal hygiene products, skincare, household cleaners, foods we eat.
In what ways do free radicals affect us?
Every single day 20 billion cells die in our body. Our bodies are working to replace these cells, every day.
This sounds like hard work doesn’t it. Based on that alone, you would think we would all be slimmer & trimmer having this process keeping the metabolism well on the move.
This cell replacement sometimes goes wrong due to the above mentioned factors and this can also be why cancer occurs.
If free radicals overwhelm the body’s ability to regulate them, a condition known as oxidative stress occurs.
This then results in more free radicals, cell damage and oxidative stress. Besides cancer other chronic health problems can be cardiovascular, inflammatory disease and cataracts.
Then as we age, the body slows down and is less energetic and strong and loses its ability to combat these effects.
The effects of free radicals on our skin include premature aging and wrinkles.
What can help fight free radicals?
Antioxidants is the best quick short answer.
Antioxidants help neutralize these free radicals before they can cause any harm to our cells.
Antioxidants such as Vitamins A,C & E.
Taking supplements is one way.
Taking care of yourself and eating well and paying attention to what is in your personal hygiene, cleaning products and your skincare. Find safe anti-aging non-toxic skincare.
Some good foods high in antioxidants to focus on are:
Blueberries
Coffee
Strawberries
Broccoli
Sprouts
Kale
Whole cereals
Pulses
Fish
Red Berries
Red wine is a better choice than white, but beware. While red wine has antioxidants and is good for the heart, it’s not that good for the gut. So, in moderation is best.
And of course there is always slip, slop, slap for so many reasons, so now you’ve been given another reason to cover up when spending time in the sun.
Natural and Organic is also a wise choice. Non-toxic and chemical free. As you just read above how chemicals can affect the balance and reproduction of our cells.
How can free radicals affect our skin?
Our skin is the largest organ of our bodies. It is porous and it absorbs whatever we put on it.
So what you are putting into your skin goes into your bloodstream and lymphatic system.
If you are using harmful toxic chemicals and this can be colours and fragrances too. These can most certainly have a nasty effect on your health, as they will make their way into your body. And can cause any of the things we have listed. The conclusion here is to choose natural products.
All deLadonica products are natural and contain organic ingredients.
All deLadonica products contain multiple ingredients that contain antioxidants and vitamins.
You can read on each product page the benefits of each product and its ingredients.
In conclusion how to take care of your skin to best avoid free radicals!
We’re here to help if you want to start immediately using non toxic, non harmful, natural skincare products…
Ageing is a natural process of any living thing here on planet earth, it’s the inevitable!
But for us humans this natural changing process of the skin is caused firstly by ageing.
Other things in our environment can contribute to the way our skin looks and behaves as we age like the sun, stress, alcohol, dehydration and smoking.
But let’s talk here firstly about the natural process of the skin as we age.
Under the skins layers we have many things going on in the dermis like skin cells, blood cells, building blocks and collagen and protein and a whole lot more.
As we age everything seems to slow down.
Our energy, our metabolism, production of collagen and again, a whole lot more.
Collagen is the protein that gives our skin the structure, suppleness and stretch and bounce, that youthful ‘plumpy’ bounce we had when we were young.
As we age our body doesn’t produce collagen as well as it once did.
Collagen isn’t just in our skin. It’s in our muscles and bones and tendons and ligaments our organs and blood.
So when you learn that collagen is produced naturally in our body by the foods we eat, it makes a whole lot of sense here to eat healthy every single day and feed our body well.
To help boost and feed your collagen, eat foods like:
Fish
Chicken
Leafy Greens
Avocados
Red and Yellow Vegetables
Egg Whites
Tomatoes
Berries
Citrus Fruits
Garlic
Bell Peppers
Beans
Soy
Cashews
Herbs : Chinese Knotweed, Horsetail, Gynostemma, Gotukola, bala, Ashwagandha
This is feeding our skin from the inside to what we see on the outside.
To continue to combat ageing and help by feeding our skin from the outside we need good quality products that help provide all these vitamins with ingredients that have the power to feed and supply and build our skin cell building blocks to give it a strong sturdy structure.
If you think about an old shack that over time the roof is caving in because of weathering and time and the walls and support beams underneath are weakening and buckling and caving in because they are not strong anymore and are just crumbling down and sinking in.
Now think of your skin as the roof and under your skin is the walls and support beams.
You want to give your shack a new strong and straight shiny roof but you first need strong walls and support beams to build it on.
So with good diet and good quality skincare you will be feeding your skin from both sides. And you stand a really good chance of rebuilding that shack (I do mean your skin) and make it look like time has turned back and it’s become strong and sturdy again.
So when collagen in the dermis is crumbling down. And is not as present as it was when we were younger.
Your skin is collapsing in a little and this is what creates wrinkles. When we get more wrinkles we can get what is known as ‘crepey’ skin. Skin becomes thin and this is at different levels for everybody.
It is less flexible and has lost its bounce.
Hyaluronic Acid is possibly the best number one ingredients for plumping along with Vitamin C and all the other vitamins. Ingredients that contain antioxidants and cell rebuilding, repairing, rejuvenating abilities.
You may already be familiar with our Hyaluronic Acid Eye Gel. This will help plump the skin.
So What’s Coming?!
deLadonica of course has created something that delivers all of this.
We have bottled a serum with powerful capabilities that you will visibly see taking action soothing out, dissipating fine lines and wrinkles along with giving yours skin a radiant glow and feels oh-so amazing, of course!
Coming Soon...

Feel more Vibrant Younger Confident! Hot tips to a younger you! Take years off inside and out.
]]>The secret for looking youthful has been a constant question since the beginning of time it seems. In fact, many researchers have done some experiments to find ways to slow down the ageing process.
There are some techniques that have been implemented, but the most important things for us to do are being consistent in implementing a healthy lifestyle and eating habits.
One thing we can do is make better choices by selecting products that are not full of nasty harmful chemicals.
We can’t stop the natural change it is the inevitable, but we can still look younger if we want to.
That’s right, yes you can!
We can do this by putting in a little effort and take time and attention to slow down the ageing process.
Therefore, I’m going to help you with 10 easy steps to make you look younger:
1. Detox: It’s important to start detoxification, getting rid of toxins from our bodies. Our body’s metabolism has done that process, but in everyday life, we are exposed to so many chemical hazards from air, food, and environment.
Fasting or just consuming fruits and vegetables are ways to detoxify our bodies.
2.Sleep: Having enough sleep, at least 6-8 hours a day, will make our skin healthier. Having a good sleep is also important because the growth hormone is working during that time. It renews the old cell of our body, including the skin cell. Our skin will look fresh and young if we have enough sleep.
3.Food: Eating healthy and safe food every day will make our body fit, slim, and also look younger. Try to eat more fish instead of red meat. Fiber foods, vegetables, fruits, and supplements are important food to consume. Supplements are generally concentrated. Drink less coffee and other caffeine beverages.
4.Exercise: Through routine exercise, we will feel happier, energetic, and confident. It also increases our bone density and muscle which can make our body look 15-20 years younger. Are you thinking about putting on your joggers right now and take the dog for a walk?
5.Relax: Destress. By trying to be relaxed, our face will look younger. Stress and worries appear on our face. If we can manage our stress and feel at peace, our face will look younger and attractive.
6.Be Positive: A positive mind and affirmations can lead to a healthier life. Negative thoughts tend to bring failure and make us look older. Meditation can lead to a positive mindset.
7.Medical Check-up: Just like a car, our body also needs attention and care so it can work well every day. Having routine medical check-ups is important to recognise diseases as soon as possible.
8.Active Life: Always try to be active during your life. Activities can increase health; and if you are in your elder age, your memory will increase too.
9.Social Life: Happy social life can increase our spirit, bring a peaceful mind, and make us feel and look younger. Communication with our friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, and others can bring happiness to us.
10.Performance: Start to look at our performance. Is our body weight ideal for us? If not, try to fix that to the best ideal weight. Also look at the skin, hair, nail, and teeth. Those are important as they will show our age. Looking good and feeling good will increase our performance.

]]>
Okay just kidding, maybe not ‘the end’, if you would like to know a little more information, please do read on.
Don’t forget I am only referring to natural ingredients here, no chemicals. We rarely talk chemicals here.
Some say the lotion should go on first to moisturise and hydrate into the skin.
Some believe the lotion will penetrate more than oil.
They could be stating this because lotions are partly water based, so they will moisturise better.
But…
There are many oils that will penetrate deeply and quickly.
Coconut Oil & Rosehip Oil are very quick to absorb, while Jojoba & Sunflower are a little slower and Almond Oil is even slower again.
Wow, think about that!
Look at all the beautiful layers oozing into your skin as you apply the oil or lotion.
Rolling in like gentle waves one after another after another, gifting you all these wonderful benefits over and over and through and through.
What a beautiful thought.
This is one of the many reasons you will find these amazing raw and natural ingredients in deLadonica products.
These wonderful ingredients can be in either your lotion or your oil!
There is an order of application rule in skincare maybe you have heard it somewhere before.
This means the thinnest product should be applied first and then the next thickest and so on and the thickest (usually the lotion or day/night cream) would be last.
If you think about that for a moment, it may make more sense that the thinner product would absorb quicker and easier into the skin, while a thicker (most likely a lotion) will seep into the skin slower.
So that’s one rule you could go by if you choose.
Try a little experiment.
First for the body.
After your shower…
Don’t scrub your body dry. Pat dry with a towel, leave a little water on the skin.
The skin is our biggest organ and it absorbs natural and unnatural particles very well.
Next…
On one leg, rub in your lotion.
Then go to the next leg and rub in your oil.
If you’re anything like me that oil just disappeared and my skin just drank it all up.
Best bet to keep that young youthful glowing healthy nourished skin, after every shower you put both lotion and oil on your entire body.
So…
Now go back to the first leg. (This has given time for absorption of any kind.)
Now rub oil over top of your already lotion moisturised leg.
Now go back to the second leg and rub lotion over the top of the oiled leg.
What do you think?
Does one feel better than the other?
In this case following what we believe or what is our personal preference or what is our body telling us, is most likely the best choice for you.
‘the end’
Just kidding again.
Read on for more.
So for me, for the body I like the lotion first and then the oil.
I like the way that feels best. My skin feels happily moisturised and nourished.
Some say oils may sit on top of lotions. Perhaps this depends on the products being used.
It is said that deLadonica Body Oil does not sit on top of the skin like other oils can.
You can feel that it is soaking into the skin nicely.
And when it has been seen to heal so many skin issues it’s pretty hard to argue that.
But… for my face I do the reverse.
Here, I’ll follow the thinnest to thickest rule.
To me, this feels best and my skin feels happy and nourished.
For my face Cleanse : Tone : Serum : Eye Product : Day/Night Cream.
Try the little experiment again here if you like. Try reversing it.
Which way feels the best to you?
In all things in life they say listen to our body.
This is most likely the best way to give it what it wants and needs.
So, as I said in the beginning it really is personal preference and clinically proven trials and results says same.
You can also do this.
Pay close attention to what your skin appearance is telling you.
Look for less signs of ageing and skin tone appearing more even.
Our deLadonica Perfecting Facial Cream Cleanser is one of the quickest of our products that reflects those exact results in skin toning.
Usually after just the first or second use!
Not kidding you at all, try it and see for yourself!
Retinol builds skin collagen and stands it back up if it’s falling down.
Rosehip and Carrot together will do that.
Those ingredients are in there together in our Perfecting Facial Cream Cleanser and in our Perfecting Collagen Night Cream.
There are times when it can be best to wait between applications.
For example vitamin C can be a little slower to absorb into the skin, possibly 90seconds.
Our Amazing Goddess Facial Serum is based on vitamin C in case you want to consider allowing a little absorption time.
Sunscreen is one you may want to give that bit of time to absorb before adding anything over the top.
Acne treatments may require a wait time.
So there is no One Size Fits All Answer.

Our skin begins to sag and will not be as firm or as tight as when we were younger.
Try and find pores on a new born baby or young child. … How did you go?
Did you get out a magnifying glass and still couldn’t see them?
So, don’t be so hard on yourself they are a part of the cycle of life.
But, they don’t necessarily have to be so visible or unhealthy.
Large pores can also be a result of clogging and build-up.
Our body naturally produces an oil known as ‘sebum’ and it coats and protects our skin.
But for many people our body can get a little carried away and produce too much oil or sebum and this can then clog pores.
This can then create a bacteria build up and cause acne, blackheads and whiteheads.
All of this can also be the causes of large open pores.
A: Factor Number Two: Ageing!
Our skin is not as firm or tight as we age.
Our body isn’t producing the collagen and elastin etc. as it used to.
That’s the way the human body works, unfortunately.
It’s copped the sun and pollutions and exposure to many things for many years now.
We need to keep nourishing and feeding our skin with moisturisers and serums and also through the foods we eat.
We need to use good quality products that are active!
Products with the capability to rejuvenate and regenerate healthy new skin cells! Products that have the ability to lift, plump and tighten.
And incredibly reverse damage!
They need to contain brilliant antioxidants giving the power to fight free radicals.
Delivering the power for immaculate cell stimulation and the proficiency to soften and smooth wrinkles.
And there you have amazing anti-ageing action.
This is very helpful in reducing in size of pores.
Diminishing their size and appearance and improving their health!
So, how do we do all these things?
Number one: Cleanse regularly – Day and Night!
Both are extremely important. As we sleep our body produces oils that need to be cleansed to unclog pores and balance skin pH if you are using the right cleanser.
As we sleep, we can still be copping toxins from the environment around us.
Planes, trains and automobiles, just to name one – pollution.
And of course remove makeup that can clog our skin and not allow it to breathe so easy and removing the toxins from the day’s activities.
Number Two: Weekly Scrubs or Masks.
A more intense and deep cleanse once or twice a week is also extremely important.
This removes dead skin cells that contributes to clogging and unhealthy skin. Also causing acne, blackheads and whiteheads which also lead to large pores!
Number Three: A good Daily & Weekly Regime.
Cleanse : Tone : Serum : Eye Cream : Day/Night Cream
To help our customers, the above daily process is on our website and on our packaging.
We know it gets confusing, life gets busy. It all gets too much. There are so many elements in our day.
So to help keep it simple we have provided this constant reminder to help you out.
If you’re not sure of what a good daily regime is, just read the label on the packaging. Simple!
And weekly, just once maybe twice a week have a gently facial scrub or mask.
Number Four: Quality Products with Active Ingredients!
We hear the hype too.
A lot of companies out there claim to be something they are not.
Including in the natural skincare sector. That’s very disappointing to hear.
We can assure you, that deLadonica use all natural and organic ingredients in all our products.
Natural and Organic plant ingredients are gifted to us by Mother Nature and they are amazing!
They are active, they have healing abilities.
They provide us with the things our body needs, but doesn’t necessarily produce or produce well.
We can use them to infuse and boost us with what we are lacking from what they are bountiful.
They are truly magical in their performance and possibilities.
We are truly lucky to have them.
So, now what will you use?
Cleanser: deLadonica has an amazing Facial Cleanser. It’s balancing, healing and cleanses beautifully. You will see and feel instant results on your first use.
deLadonica’s : Perfecting Facial Cream Cleanser
Scrub or Mask: a Tea-Tree Facial Scrub will be one of deLadonica’s first new products for 2021 and of course it will be magical and beautiful.
We have been trialling and perfecting a Pink Clay and Chocolate Mask and we will bring that to you when we make some decisions.

The sun is the number one cause of our skin ageing. Treatment after sunburn is extremely important. It will take a little effort but worth it in the end to Reverse the Sun's Damage!
]]>To get the very best out of your skincare products take the time to apply them generously. A quick slip slop slap just won’t do!
While you are young, you may be confidant that your skin can take it.
But beware the warnings and down the track in later years is where it will all catch up to you.
The wrinkles and aged looking skin will come creeping in.
So, do protect yourself, cover up, wear lots of sunscreen and drink water to hydrate.
And nourish your skin!
It has the ability to reverse sun damage and is anti-ageing and healing.
Its powerful, natural and organic ingredients work together and has so many healing powers tucked away in there it’s magical.
But you can’t just slip slop slap it on.
You need to massage it into your skin.
A good count of ten rubs onto each area is a good measure where you will inevitably see the benefits.
If you want to have glowing, healthy, younger looking skin from head to toe, this is no doubt one of the best products you should be using and you will be so glad you did.
I’m sure we all agree that JLO has sensational, amazing goddess like skin.
She recently told us she believes a good quality Olive Oil is one of her favourite most important ingredients for your skin.
deLadonica knows this too, and completely agrees.
This is why it is in our Body Oil.
It is also known to help after sun exposure to fight cancer causing cells.
deLadonica Vitamin E Oil has so many benefits to help out here they are almost countless.
It too helps reverse sun damage and reduces the redness.
It boosts and reproduces new skin cell growth assisting in anti-ageing.
It hydrates and provides a protective barrier to keep that moisture in and keep treating that drying stinging sunburn.
It penetrates and does all this work, deep in the skin layers, not just sit on top.
Some severe sunburn where blistering may have occurred can leave behind scars.
Our Vitamin E Oil was created with treating scars and stretch marks in mind.
A good trusted Aloe Vera spray to calm and cool down that heat and stinging from the sunburn is well needed.
And you will get on top of that sunburn pretty quick.
And see it start to turn into a beautiful suntan.
And depending on the severity of your burn and your skin type, you could quite easily get away without even peeling if you keep the effort and attention up as needed.
Our body is made up of 60% (give or take a few) of water.
We need to top up our body with H2o every single day.
A day out in the sun and being active needs a bit extra as you know.
We need to replenish and hydrate our body even more so when sunburnt.
We need to be mindful to give a little extra here.
Sunburn draws fluid to the surface of the skin, taking away from the rest of the body.
Vitamin C is also a top major factor our skin needs every single day!
With or without sunburn.
A little extra helping hand here is required.
Vitamin C packed foods can be oranges, blue berries, sweet potato, broccoli, kale.
There is a long list you won’t go hungry.
This is something for all ages!
Unfortunately we will not be 20 or 25 or young forever!
We highly recommend for all the young ones, don’t wait to start seeing the signs of ageing.
Start using deLadonica Body Oil every day.
You will find that you will love putting it on for a special event, a night out, just to have that gorgeous glowing shimmer.

Is serum in your skincare routine?
Is it missing from your range of daily beauty products?
If it is, you need to fix this quickly!
You no doubt are already incredibly beautiful. Right?
Let me hear you say ‘Right!’ … … Perfect!
Now, let’s build the support beams to keep skin strong and youthful.
Let’s turn back the clock!
This is not a myth and is totally possible for anyone.
It’s easy to go through life and believe we know the basics of skincare.
Wash face regularly, keep moisturised, scrub or mask weekly
We think we are doing enough, until the day we learn more and try better products.
By then we sadly see age marching all over our face. Eeek!
There’s two keys right there … Learn more! And Try better products!
Do this and start to see amazing results and vast improvements right there on your face.
Some people may even comment and give you a compliment. The kind ones will anyway.
We are not going to be young forever, unfortunately.
Start early, this is going to pay off in the years down the track.
Skincare routines don’t need to be complex or take too much time and money, but it does need to take at least a little effort.
Especially because of the world we live in with its toxins and radicals and whatever else is in the air and buzzing about us.
It’s so very important to remove all traces of makeup every single night and cleanse properly and nourish and moisturise, not just moisturise.
If you are one who is often asking yourself ‘what is the right routine?’
Here it is and it’s at the top of all labels on deladonica skincare products.
Cleanse : Tone : Serum : Eye Cream : Day/Night Cream
So, why use serum?
And what are the six ways that serum makes a younger sexier you?
Number One: Ingredients!
A good serum contains high quality, more concentrated, active ingredients.
Natural organic is of course the best way to go every time providing us that wonderful quality that’s so important.
Plant based ingredients are rich in vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids.
Our bodies do not naturally produce or provide so many things our skin needs like vitamins and antioxidants and collagen.
We need to get them from plant and food.
So we’ve bottled it for you and created a formula that delivers.
Number Two: Skin Appearance & Anti-ageing!
This is what we want!
Lovely looking clear, dewy, fresh looking skin with a healthy glow.
Serum helps soothe and soften skin and improve flexibility.
Fights free radicals, balances and treat skin issues.
Its anti-ageing, soothing and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles.
Regulates sebum production, so this is balancing.
Number Three: Smells Amazing!
Not all serums have a lingering pretty smell.
Our lovely customers are delighted by our deladonica Goddess Facial Serum and enjoy receiving comments from others who want to know what they are wearing as it smells so lovely.
We provided a link in the image below to our serum page if you want to read more and discover not only our wonderful ingredients but what their amazing benefits are how they are helping your skin.
Number Four: Skin Conditions!
Not just a pretty face!
Our serum helps skin conditions like acne, eczema, dry and oily skin and more.
There are many things our skin loves, absorbs, needs and thrives on.
One of those things is fatty acids with omegas.
These absorb quickly into the skin, so it’s fast acting and helping treat troubling issues like we just mentioned.
This gives you clearer healthier skin making a younger sexier you!
For those with oily skin.
Our serum contains ingredients that make the skin think it has produced enough oil, so it stops. This action helps clear up blemishes and acne.
Number Five: Protection ~ Rebuild ~ Balance!
Some ingredients are known as ‘occlusive’ these form a protective layer on our skin keeping moisture in and other things out.
This also helps reduce the impact of stress on our skin like radicals, and simple things like ‘wind’ that can be drying to the skin.
Now, drum roll please … this is our favourite!
This is our serum secret!
Not all serums will do this!
All serums should contain Quality, Concentrated, Active Ingredients with a Purpose.
We believe a serum should also do this…
Number Six: Slough Away Dead Skin Cells!
This is absolutely a big step to the younger sexier you!
This is an amazing anti-ageing action you need in your life!
Here’s a question. Dead skin cells, are they invisible or aren’t they?
They can be all over your face and almost even hiding, yet they are visible adding an ageing look to your appearance.
They can be very good at hiding especially under the eyes where we wear makeup and maybe don’t clean in there as well as we should because we don’t want to rub products into our eyes.
So cleansing and the toning is so important to help remove all traces of make up dirt and grime and clear the way to allow our amazing products to get in there and do their job.
Removing dead skin cells leaves a vibrant, fresh, glowing clean new layer of skin revealed.
Wait! It doesn’t end there…
Our serum will also then get in there and help generate, rejuvenate and stimulate new skin cell growth and turn over!
How good!
Again revealing a younger sexier you!
deLadonica has a goal in mind for each product we create.
Each product has a focus and a particular issue to target.
We created our serum to provide your skin with the vitamin C it needs.
The very best anti-ageing ingredients.
And to slough away dead skin cells.
Of course it doesn’t stop there, visit our store and discover the many other benefits our Amazing Serum has to offer.
Deladonica has no known reactions from our products to date.
In fact those that may usually have sensitive eyes to skincare and make up, don’t seem to have this problem with deladonica skincare products.
How good!
So let’s get the best natural organic skincare serum into your daily beauty routine and onto your skin now!

Mother Nature has provided us with natural organic flora in herbs and plants.
These are powerful medicinal gifts from nature.
They fight free radicals, and contain antioxidants and vitamins and other things our skin needs to fight ageing and stay healthy. Things that our body doesn't naturally produce.
We have to get these things from food and plants.
Deladonica brings you 'plant in a bottle.'
These don't do damage to ourselves and our environment like nasty chemicals.
]]>
Why use Natural Organic Products? Why buy deLadonica? Who is deLadonica?
Good questions, happy to answer them.
Natural Organic products are from nature, and Mother Nature knows best. People go on with their lives keeping busy and racing to keep up with their tasks to tick off for the day. Meanwhile silently in the back ground synthetic and nasty chemicals are doing damage to ourselves and our environment.
It’s frustrating to us to see popular products and brands that have been used and trusted for years have nasty chemicals in them. While at the time it seems they are possibly doing the job you purchased them for, but in the longer run this all unravels.
Organic is an extra step in the process of using these wonderful gifts from nature. Organic is farming without the use of synthetic chemicals or genetically modified components and the process in which the goodness or oils may be extracted and collected.
This allows the natural goodness and vitamins to be still available in the collected product, and when we make other products with these natural organic ingredients, they are active!
What do we mean by active? For example, if an ingredient best ability is to fight free radicals, or soften and plump skin, then that is what it will do – naturally. And they do it well! Synthetic products will have nasty groups of chemicals in the ingredients and they just add horrible things like Mineral Oil, which is crude oil, which is cheap and nasty, they add them to put something in the tub to make it feel like a moisturising cream or lotion. Down the track these horrid chemicals will add ageing to your skin and other things, but we will leave that for another day.
Have you ever used natural and organic products before?

Hello deladonica Lovelies!
We have a little info on cleansing for you.
We understand we should wash, bathe, shower, cleanse every day as our mothers taught us. A scrub in the tub, a step through the shower, whatever process you like.
Just as you may shower morning and night, our facial skin needs the same attention.
But why should we cleanse our face morning and night?
If you cleansed with your favourite cleanser at night, backed up with your daily regime and all you did was go to bed and sleep. Why should you do it again in the morning?
The Answer is this:
As we sleep oils will still build and surface on our skin. For some people this can be why they get blotchy or spots or acne. Sweat may become present and be a good reason why you should practice this simple little routine both morning and night.
Dust and pollution still exists around us and this is another great reason for a morning cleanse.
But… yes there is a but.
Be careful not to overdo it. If you are removing make up or you have been gardening all day and you are covered in dirt, you should give a good cleanse to be sure all is removed followed up by your toner to help remove any dirt or make up missed.
The following morning if all you have done is sleep then this would be a quicker light gentler cleanse. Taking just a few seconds and being mindful not to give a such a thorough once over.
And as always followed up by your twice daily regime.
Cleanse : Tone : Serum : Oil : Eye Cream : Day/Night Cream
]]>Feeling Like Your Standing On a Mountain Top.
Can you ever feel so free and alive and powerful and strong when you’re amongst nature? The fresh breezes touching your skin and whisking your hair. The sights and scenery of colours before you keeps you content and absorbing the moment. The sounds and smells around you, uplifting your spirit leaving you feeling unbreakable like a Goddess!
Adonica means very beautiful Greek Goddess and ‘del’ is short for deluxe, this means when you shop deLadonica, you shop for the deluxe Goddess… ‘you.’
Let’s bring that good feeling into your home and have that uplifting goddess feeling in any room.
Goddess Tip:
How to hold onto that standing on top of a mountain out in nature feeling and stay in your deluxe Goddess state?
The little things…
Everyday little things that are positive, pleasing, healthy and clean are essential to your every day. Discreetly they power you along and give you charge to complete your day.
These could be your morning detox tea, the dusting and cleaning is up to date, the stratospheric ambience you created in your home décor, and yes, your daily diet, absolutely and without doubt.
Is there something in your home that when you look at it, it turns your smile upside down, or makes you feel a little weight on your shoulders and drag your feet?
Could it be clutter? Clutter is a miserable eyesore. Does a cluttered cupboard, table, draw or bench exist in your existence? This silent but miserable dark spot can change your mood and your habits at a glance.
Clutter also usually means dust; dust is unhealthy, for everyone, but especially if you or someone in the home has allergies and dust doesn’t bring a smile to your heart.
You might even agree that it’s time for it to go!
Since it’s not going to fix itself and requires some manual labour and stimulant we think a healthy tip would be, to not put it off any longer!
Your next day off, pencil in an hour or however long you think this dark spot will take to fix, set it aside and start dreaming up and creating how you want the new space to look.
How might you change this to how a Goddess would own it?!
What needs to go in the rubbish, never to be seen again?
What can be added or taken away to make more open white space?
Open white space? Clean, clear uncluttered happiness.
Does it need colour added to continue a theme that exists in the home already?
A splash of paint?
Out with the old in with the new?
Don’t think poverty, think big! Think beauty, richness, happiness!
Once you are done, and you are excited, proud and happy with your new creation, take some pics, post them on social media or just send to your bestie or your mum, because no doubt your feeling pretty good right now.
Don’t let that good feeling go, keep going.
Which part of the house is next on your target list?
Good job Goddess!
We hope we can help again in the future!
]]>Leather is timeless and beautiful and admired and loved in many ways.
Its durability has stood the test of time and is a first choice for so many things we use in our daily life. Furniture pieces, boots, bags, cases we won’t name them all, you know what they are.
There are several different ways leather is selected and processed and differences that seperates the ‘qualities’ or ‘grades’ and in turn the price.
Quality leather hides go through particular treatments and here we explain some of that to make your selection clearer.
Top Grain Leather and Full Grain Leather. Don’t be fooled by the word ‘top’ here, this is just the name of the process this leather goes through.
Top Grain Leather has had the natural grain sanded away and an imitation grain has been stamped in its place. This gives the grain a more even all over look to the finished product.
Full Grain Leather has had no sanding process at all. The markings and grain you see in the leather is the natural characteristics of the animal from which it was collected from. Full Grain Leather will be selected from top quality hides. This process looks and feels more natural and is treated by transparent aniline dyes.
Pure Aniline Leather is also known as Aniline Full Grain Leather, True Aniline Leather and Naked Aniline Leather all are Natural Grains (not sanded or stamped.) This leather is of the elite 5% of leathers available and is favoured by people who love the natural characteristics of the grain and its markings. These leathers are selected from the very purest quality of the finest leather.
So if it is the very best you want then the Pure Aniline may be your choice.
Semi-aniline Leather falls in the top 10 – 15% of available leathers and is processed a little more than the Full Grain Leather. The coating process will cover minor defects of the characteristics of the grain but will not cover the natural markings and characteristics.
Nubuck Leather is a type of aniline leather. It has a velvety like texture and is extremely soft and lush in appearance. The grain has not been processed but has been brushed and polished. Running your hand across the surface of Nubuck leather you will see the shade change. Nubuck is a slightly higher quality than suede. Suede is the inner side of the hide.
Corrected Leather Grains falls into the Top Grain Leather category. These will go through a considerable amount of sanding, buffing, stamping and dyeing. This is to give an even and uninterrupted uniform look to the grain. This process removes any environmental natural characteristics like insect bites, barb wire scratches etc. Corrected leather falls into 18% of available leathers.
Given this information you possibly know which type of leather is your preferred choice and happy that you know a little bit more about how and why leather looks the way it does and why higher qualities of leather exist.
It is recommended not to choose a leather lesser than the mentioned 18% for your next piece of furniture. Patent and bonded leathers don’t measure up to the strength and durability and quality of the Full and Top Grain leathers.
Another element where top quality is sourced can be geographical. Some of the finest leather suppliers will only collect from cooler countries with a moderate climate instead of the tropics. Places where the animals will be less affected by insects and disease.
Some will only use the ‘drum’ dyed process to ensure full even colour permeation.
You may have heard that Italian Leather is one of the best if not the finest leather in the world. These elements mentioned are a huge factor in why this is so.
And these leathers are coming to deLadonica soon. We can’t wait to bring you beautiful works of furniture pieces with a massive selection of fabrics and styles and colours for you to choose from. You will be able to chat with us and we can create custom designed furniture that you will love.
]]>These simple little household items really are precious little treasures in our homes, or even outside our homes in waiting rooms and hotels.
When you walk past your cushions in your home do you look at them with admiration and smile and look forward to the next time your due to snuggle? Or do you look at them and decide you can do much better and it’s time for those cushions to go?
Besides what a cushion creates and adds to your décor with its colour, texture and theme of style, they have great purpose that brings us pleasure every day. We pop them under our head to see the tv or magazine or book we are reading. Sitting up straight popping the cushion behind our back gives lumbar support. Laying down and popping cushions under our knees or feet brings a very relaxing comfort too.
The keen home decorator will be sure these little additions to our home are appealing to the eye and suit the room helping create atmosphere and mood, even though they are likely to be one of the smallest items in the room. The lounge itself, the rug, the coffee table and the tv are much bigger, but your cushions will catch your eye and they are what you reach for once you open your book or find your tv show to watch.
Now, what about what’s inside your cushions there are a few different fillings of choice
The most popular is polyester or a polyester cotton blend. These are most popular because they are strong and durable and easy to clean and available in several different densities for firmness or softness of your choice. They are non-allergenic and odourless.
Feather down is another choice, which are the soft fluffy undercoat feathers of a duck or goose. They create warmth, and to a certain degree can regulate temperature acting as an insulator, so they won’t necessarily be hot in summer. They can be cleaned in your washing machine but clumping of the feathers may occur and this can leave your cushion insert lumpy and uncomfortable.
Recycled water bottles are deLadonica’s choice of cushion insert. They look and feel just like high quality polyester inserts. The P.E.T. Recycled water bottle therefore will last longer. For every 1kg of fiber used we have saved 70 water bottles from landfill.
DeLadonica cushion inserts also have a zipper at one end, you can add or remove filling to your comfort satisfaction. They are machine washable and non-allergenic and completely odourless.
You can find this information on our ‘Cushion Insert Page’ on the following link.
]]>Black is beautiful, brown is earthy and neutral, when you’re creating the look for your room these bold colours are excellent choices depending on the room. What is the room? How is the light? Is it spacious? You will want other colours in there for balance, pop and mood. Similar to when you are contouring with makeup you will use your contour and you will place highlight in the right places to get your look. Same here for your room, you will have high lights and low lights, but every surface, shade, colour and piece is doing its part, as is the lighting.
Most likely your target is not to create a hum drum flat line motionless room. Chances are your aiming towards stylish, more than satisfying, beauty and comfort.
To add some hightlight colours to go with your blacks and browns can be silver, white, cream or grey perhaps a dash of blues, yellows or greens that might be in a rug or painting.
These highlight colours can be added simply by being in your lighting, lamps, side tables, vases, wall hangings, even wall coverings, rugs and cushions.
DeLadonica totally agrees that the rugs and cushions will certainly add texture, warmth and love to your room. With your bold colours, adding softness will definitely help you achieve your balance. You can’t get any softer than our Mongolian Lambswool Cushions and lambswool rugs and pouffes. Enjoy creating your room, mixing it up and playing around with your brilliant ideas.
]]>Summer is melting down, April has arrived and the cooler months are now starting to greet us.
Lambswool is a natural insulator trapping air deep in its fibres regulating temperature so it is cool in summer and warm in winter. This is why sheepskins make great seat covers even here in Australia. They are not hot as people think they are and many people see them only as a winter time product. You can enjoy relaxing and cuddling with your lambswool products just as much in summer as winter.
Now that winter is on its way, so you can enjoy the warmth while cuddling up to your cushion or rug, order yours today and we’ll send it right out for you. Scroll through our range of colours to help you decide on your favourites to buy.
DeLadonica Monglian Lambswool cushions are the highest of quality. Besides touching and cuddling up to your beautiful cushions they add beauty and texture to your home décor.
Our selection of neutral colours will easily go with your décor. They will mix and blend or maybe add pop to wherever you choose to place them.
