Beauty news: Lucy and the Powder Room introduces Synergie

The wonderful Lucy Vincent and her clever clogs beauty team at Lucy and the Powder Room are always on the hunt for killer new product lines, and are amongst the staunchest in the business when it comes to standards that anything new needs to meet. Needless to say, that means that anything that passes muster will most likely be pretty damn impressive, the latest being the Synergie line of skincare.

Synergie joins their carefully curated selection of skincare lines available at both Takapuna and Newmaket locations this week, and you can get a great chance to try it for yourself via the new Winter Warmer package.

But first, a little about Synergie. Founded by Australian biomedical scientist Terri Vinson, it is a collection of highly active cosmeceuticals that is blissfully free of toxic additives. The collection is designed to protect the skin from harsh environmental conditions, harnessing the best of science and nature, using only the most ethical, safe and effective ingredients. A major in both Immunology and Microbiology and having owned a skin clinic in Melbourne, Vinson saw an opportunity for a range that was cosmeceutical grade, yet very active and using stable ingredients. The end result was Synergie, and the collection now includes a range of essential vitamin serums ( A, B, C and D), cleansers, moisturisers and sun protection. Highly concentrated, a little goes a long way and the effectiveness can reportedly be recognised in as little as three days - amazing!

To introduce this exciting new addition, Lucy and the Powder Room's Winter Package - from June 1 - has been designed to include some of Synergie's exceptional practitioner products. First up a Synergie Lactic-based Hydro Peel and Age Revert Mask work to restore and hydrate the face, then a restorative foot massage and a luxe paraffin wax treatment - amazing! - will warm and nourish the feet. The Age Revert Mask's key ingredient is Niacinamide, which regulates oil production, enhances skins immunity and helps to combat hyper pigmentation. It’s the perfect restorative mask for winter's climatic extremes and also contains Manuka Honey, a powerful antiseptic and healer.

The Winter Warmer $100 (value $160) and is available until August 31. For bookings call Newmarket (09) 524 6702 or Takapuna (09) 488 0585 or head to
