What is your favourite ManukaRx product, and why?
My favourite product is the Restorative Eye Cream because it hydrates, reduces puffiness, and diminishes fine lines, giving my eyes a refreshed and youthful appearance.

What does International Women's Day mean to you personally?
A day where I can express extra love and admiration to all the women in my life!
Can you share your skincare top tip?
Double cleansing, especially at night! This is important as the first cleanser will break down any makeup and remove dirt and excess oils from the day, whereas the second cleanser will clean your skin, allowing products you put on afterwards to work better!
I recommend massaging our Soothing Cream Cleanser into the skin for at least 1 minute, then reapplying the same cleanser or going in with our Vitamin C Gel Cleanser or Foaming Face Wash (depending on your skin concerns).
What is your favourite ManukaRx product, and why?
Hands down, the Clearing Face Cream! This product helps keep my hormonal acne at bay and makes my skin feel hydrated and balanced!

What does International Women's Day mean to you personally?
It's a day where we celebrate and honour the remarkable journey of women, recognising the monumental strides made in securing rights and freedoms that we often take for granted today, from the hard-fought battles for the right to vote to the ongoing struggles for gender equality in leadership positions and even the seemingly simple victories like the ability to wear pants in our daily lives.
Can you share your skincare top tip?
Keeping your skincare products in the fridge can be a game-changer, especially when dealing with puffiness. The cold temperature helps to constrict blood vessels, reducing swelling and giving you instant refreshment. Plus, applying chilled skincare products feels amazing, like a mini spa treatment right in your home.
What is your favourite ManukaRx product, and why?
It would be the Brightening Eye Cream! When I use this eye cream, I feel like I can see the improvement. It helps to brighten up your eyes and make them look more awake. Knowing that it comes from natural ingredients like mānuka oil makes me feel even better about using it.

What does International Women's Day mean to you personally?
This day is an important reminder to embrace and celebrate the incredible role of women in history. It's an opportunity for us to unite and show our positive support for each other. And, of course, advocate for gender equality in various aspects of life since there is still progress that needs to be made.
Can you share your skincare top tip?
Consistency truly is key in skincare. Establishing my regular routine has made a big difference in my skin texture and under-eye circles.
What is your favourite ManukaRx product, and why?
It has to be the Brightening Duo! Morning and night, I wash my face with the Vitamin C Gel Cleanser and follow up with the Skin Brightening Vitamin C Serum. Both products are super hydrating, and I have noticed a huge skin texture and tone improvement. The scent is also my favourite – the natural orange peel oil smells refreshing!
Rebecca-Marketing Director
What does International Women's Day mean to you personally?
International Women's Day is really about taking the time to reflect on not only how far we've come as a gender regarding equality but also a reminder of how far we still have to go. It's also a great day to think about all the trailblazing women making a difference and showing other women what's possible. Whether juggling motherhood and a full-time job, starting and scaling their own businesses, or simply acting as a role model within a business and doing what they can to give other females the support and confidence to thrive in work and life.
Can you share your skincare top tip?
SPF, SPF, SPF. I grew up in the UK, where the sun isn't quite as powerful as it is here in New Zealand, and so it's taken me quite a while to get into the habit of applying SPF on a daily basis, even in winter, but it really is essential for reducing the damage the sun can do to your skin.
What is your favourite ManukaRx product, and why?
My favourite ManukaRx product would have to be the Daily Glow Brightening Cream. It has a beautiful gel-like texture, is ultra-lightweight, and easy to apply. During the hot summer we've been enjoying in Auckland this year, it's been a lovely formulation to apply both morning and night and as an added bonus, has helped to fade my pigmentation.

What does International Women's Day mean to you personally?
While gender discrimination is still prevalent in the world, I am grateful for the progress that has been made towards change, and as a woman in the workforce, I can answer these questions today.Can you share your skincare top tip?
My tip for everyone is always to clean your skin, no matter how tired you are. This is because clean skin is the foundation of all skincare routines.
What is your favourite ManukaRx product, and why?
I love using Vitamin C Gel Cleanser and daily glow brightening cream as they have a light and gelly texture, which is perfect for my skin. They are packed with Mānuka oil and Kakadu plum, making them even more amazing.
Tasha-Business Development Manager
What does International Women's Day mean to you personally?
International Women's Day is significant as it aligns with women's empowerment in business. The 'girlboss' concept resonates, emphasising women's leadership, excellence, and impact. Recognising the dedication and effort propelling women is vital for shaping a brighter future, not just on this special day. We're working for our generation and future women, ensuring a legacy of empowerment and equality. This day serves as a reminder to break barriers, foster support, and highlight women's achievements, embodying determination and success.
Can you share your skincare top tip?
Avoid letting your skin dry out during your routine! Apply skincare products to damp skin after cleansing your face. This is when your pores are open and ready to absorb the benefits of the active ingredients, leaving your skin feeling fresh, nourished and healthy.
What is your favourite ManukaRx product, and why?
I love the Brightening Eye Cream from the ManukaRx range! It's my go-to before anything else under my eyes. It not only tackles dark circles, but it also blends perfectly with concealer, getting absorbed seamlessly. It boosts my confidence with or without makeup!

Can you share your skincare top tip?
I love to apply the Restorative Skin Oil under my foundation. It creates such a beautiful, glowy finish.
What is your favourite ManukaRx product, and why?
The Skin Brightening Vitamin C serum. I love the texture and the smell. Its light and non sticky so I apply before bed.
