Our skin queen Rose has a whole lot of new going on at Elixir Skin Fitness.
For some reason, trusting people with our beauty needs is next level — it’s like we’re putting our lives in their hands.

Elixir’s founder and Dermal Therapist Rose Bonasera is our go-to beauty guru, so when she said she’d get our skin match-fit for our latest event, we knew we were in the safest hands. Better still, it gave us an excuse to test-drive and learn about some of the brand new, state-of-the-art technology that Rose has introduced to Elixir’s offerings.
Because we’ve never been ones to gatekeep the goods, here’s what’s waiting for you behind Elixir’s chic doors…

A NEW SKIN SOLUTION
You may be familiar with the recently launched product range and treatments from Biologique Recherche. What you may not know is that Elixir delivers these products now as part of their service, and it’s the only place you’ll find them in SA! It’s celebrity endorsed and loved, and we’ve heard good things about this range.
Across more than four decades, French brand Biologique Recherche has been designed with each of us in mind — differences and all. They offer concentrated solutions, made using a cold process that protects the raw ingredients, which leaves them high in all things good for the skin, like vitamins and minerals. The best bit is that the product range has been tailored to help unique skin challenges, so we can all get that shiny, new feeling.

A WARM WELCOME
In the luxury of their brand-new consulting space, Rose and her team ensure your experience is as unique as you are. Using their high-tech Biologique Recherche skin analysis system, the Skin Instant Lab, they’ll get a feel for your skin and guide you on getting the most from your time with Elixir.
Rose is conscious that no two clients’ skin is alike. “We take an out-of-the-box approach at Elixir because the skin’s condition is constantly changing, and we need to adapt with it.” The Skin Instant Lab feels like the perfect combination of a clinical and personal skincare treatment, helping to identify those external factors that wreak havoc on our skin, like the weather and pollution.
If you want to feel super spesh for your next important event — brides, we’re looking at you! — Rose has dished out a few tips…

GET EVENT READY
1. Time
Get started earlier to ensure you have enough time for the correct treatment plan. In a perfect world, starting treatments a minimum of one year prior helps to create sustainable change.
2. An inside out approach
A holistic approach will see the best results. Take diet, lifestyle, ingestibles and gut health into consideration, in conjunction with skincare products and dermal therapy procedures.
3. Reduce stress
The anticipation and build-up to an event, such as a wedding, can induce quite a lot of stress and anxiety. Focus on self-care, like mindfulness, meditation, adequate sleep, exercise, lifestyle and alone-time in the lead up to the event to help reduce the stress response on the body and the skin. “Bringing the body back to a place of balance supports the skin treatment plans,” says Rose.
An Elixir experience reminds you that taking some time to indulge can leave you feeling great on many levels.
