RadIance, from the inside


Sharon has developed a mind-body treatment that is nurturing, centreing and a wonderful way to focus on your inner health. A radiant complexion comes as a natural result of the care she gives and the products she uses.

“My love of yoga, meditation and Reiki, along with a desire to create an unforgettably nurturing experience, led to the development of MV Radiance Therapy**” Sharon tells me. “It’s the kind of treatment I always wanted someone to give me – a total skin and body healing experience.”

MV Organic Skincare can be used by anybody, not just those with sensitive skin, and Sharon often recommends products for clients to use at home. In the month since the treatment, I’ve been using the Gentle Cream Cleanser, which is removed with a warm Muslin Cloth as recommended by Sharon because it is gentle and acts as a mild exfoliant when used as a compress, followed by the Rose Hydrating Mist and either the Instant Revival Booster or the Rose Soothing & Protective Moisturiser, and I’m acutely aware of the improvement in my skin. It feels soft but also stronger, as if it is moisturised at a deeper level than before and so is better equipped to deal with the stress I put it through – office air conditioning, a night out, a diet that goes a bit haywire in the silly season, exam time…… the list goes on. The smell of the products alone is like giving yourself a quick aromatherapy session in the bathroom; your spirits are immediately picked up and, as we know, how we’re feeling on the inside often shows on the outside, this time as vibrant skin.

The skincare you should know about

There are some things best kept to yourself, and there are others worth screaming from the hilltops. And when it comes to skincare, we think it’s all about sharing the love. We’ve uncovered a handful of noteworthy not-so-well-known skincare ranges that we think are worth a shout out.

The Vogue Beauty Blog - Breast Cancer Awareness: Chemo-Chic


 

Everyone has a different method of coping with cancer; Jessica Jones' was to blog her way through it.

'Chemo Chic - A Guide To Surviving Breast Cancer With Style' offers day-to-day advice on everything from moisturiser to Manuka honey, but writing her blog also led Jessica to embark upon a forensic investigation of her beauty products:

"My lashless eyes widened as I discovered that almost every one of them contained either neurotoxins, carcinogens or hormone disruptors."

She is now a self-confessed 'non-toxic beauty junkie', and kindly shared with us her essential products for a
non-toxic beauty regime:

Sharon's Skincare Advice Featured in Body & Soul




Seven beauty therapists spill their skin secrets.

Get the low down on what the experts use by checking out the Body & Soul feature,         which includes our very own Sharon McGlinchey.

Could you describe your skin type and concerns?

"My skin type is quite normal but it leans towards oil-dry during winter. My main concern is dark circles under my eyes."

What’s your skincare routine?

"I always cleanse with MV Skincare Gentle Cream Cleanser ($45, mvskincare.com) and remove with a warm to hot compress as I love the ritual and the beautiful aroma. I also can’t live without MV Energizing 9 Oil Cleanser ($84). It’s so multi-purpose: I use it to protect my skin from the harsh drying effect of water while I’m in the shower, and I love it at night as a treatment oil before bed."

What’s your top skincare tip?

"Don’t use anything inside the circle of the eye besides Pure Jojoba. It’s very much like the skin’s own sebum so is highly compatible with all skins, including the most sensitive. It’s super-gentle yet highly effective as an eye make-up remover, too."

One thing about skin you wish you knew sooner?

"Given how much I traumatised my skin in my 20s, I wish I had known then just how inappropriate it was to subject myself to fruit acid peels when I had quite normal skin, free from the conditions these products were originally developed to treat, such as acne scarring and prematurely aged skin."

Any skincare sins to confess?

"I don’t use a mask anywhere near as often as I should."

Any final words of skin wisdom?

"We’re all going to grow older – that’s a fact. We’re all going to get wrinkles one day – that’s a fact.  I love what Sarah Murdoch had to say when interviewed for a magazine some time last year: 'Embrace the beauty of ageing'. Hear, hear!"

What Linda Robinson is saying about MV...


Lately I've been making a few lifestyle changes for my family and I. We’ve always been a fairly healthy bunch, but recently I’ve become more intent on reducing the amount of chemicals we put in and on our bodies. I’m not naïve enough to think I'll be able to remove all the environmental nasties around us. I just want to reduce the chemical load by making safer choices.



Sharon McGlinchey is an Australian holistic skin therapist and founder of MV Organics. Her gorgeous range of certified organic products include cleansers, moisturisers, masks, skin boosters and  body creams. They’re a bit expensy (Gentle Cream Cleanser 120ml, $75. Oxygen Formula Moisturiser 70ml, $92.99) but, hey, it’s your face and you don’t need much so they last a while. 

You can buy MV products online www.mvskincare.com or click here for a list of Australian and International stockists. I’ve met Sharon and her commitment to producing safe, quality products is inspiring. I was also lucky enough to experience her signature treatment,  the MV Radiance Therapy, MV Radiance Treatments a few years back. Oh. My God. Heaven!

Star Ingredient - MV's Pure Jojoba



"This liquid plant wax closely resembles the skin’s sebum. It is excellent for flaky, sensitive skin and is highly compatible with the delicate eye area. It contains natural vitamins A, D, and E, and is so gentle it can be used on newborns. Sharon McGlinchy, founder of MV Skincare, says, “Jojoba has unique balancing properties so oil glands regulate naturally. It’s suitable for both dry and oily skin, making it unique in the beauty world.” It’s my new bathroom cabinet ‘must-have’! "

Genetics also play a significant role as they can determine defective oil glands, pore lining that does not shed dead cells properly and the production of abnormal sebum. ‘Rarely do people consider their condition might be hereditary, so this factor should not be overlooked,’ says Sharon McGlinchey from organic skincare company MV Skincare. ‘ One of the first questions I ask a new client with acne is whether anyone in their family, past or present, suffered from acne.’

MV Organic Skincare recommended in The Anti-Ageing Bible




MV Organic Skincare is proud to announce its Rose Soothing and Protective Moisturiser and Gentle Cleanse have been featured and recommended in The Anti-Ageing Beauty Bible.

An all-Australian organic skincare company, specialising in luxury formulations for discerning skincare lovers, MV Organic Skincare was created by facialist Sharon McGlinchey.

Catering especially to those with sensitive skin and conditions like rosacea, eczema and easily-irritated skin.

“I am a newcomer to this range and now I’m just wishing I had found it sooner! Firstly the Gentle Cream Cleanser is incredibly gentle (absolutely ideal for sensitive skins and those who suffer with eczema) but really effective at removing make-up too, said Jo Fairly, the co-writer of the Anti-Ageing Beauty Bible.

She further explains, “I am not usually a sufferer of dry skin but this harsh winter has definitely changed that - and a tight and flaky face is not fun - so the Rose Soothing and Protective Moisturiser has been an absolute saviour for me, nurturing and calming skin back to normality with a subtle but lovely, rose-y smell.

Rescu roadtests the MV Calming & Softening Mask



Beauty writer Chloe Schneider "A dry clay, MV’s organic mask requires you to mix the mask yourself before applying but the results are well worth it. We found skin to feel restored and refreshed after just seven minutes and skin was left looking luminous and far less blotchy. The formula supports the skin’s natural healing process making it a gentle solution to skin care." You can buy the Calming & Softening mask here.

British model Poppy Delevingne loves MV Organic Skincare



Liz Hoddard from Evening Standard writes: When I meet model and socialite Poppy Delevingne, at the El Palace Hotel in Barcelona (the Spanish equivalent of the Ritz), she looks like a gorgeous racehorse. Long limbs, platinum mane — even her eyebrows are finely drawn gold thread.

At 24 she is an ambassador for Chanel and has modelled for Chloe and Louis Vuitton. Recently she signed with agent Curtis Brown (the plan is to alternate modelling and her acting career). And now she is a new face for the autumn/winter campaign for Spanish brand Mango. On billboards from November you will see her modelling its eveningwear.

She's being going to the same hairdresser since she was 13 — Sophie at Stephen Casali on Ebury Street. And she swears by Australian facialist Sharon McGlinchey, whose MV Organic Skincare products are sold at Content in Marylebone.
