Give Dad something he really wants....


June is the month in which we celebrate fatherhood, so why not spoil Dad with a complete Shaving kit from Africology. This Pack comes complete with a 200ml shave cream, a 100ml Body Scrub, 5ml Marula conditioning Oil, 5ml Hydrating cleansing gel, 5ml a moisturizer as well as a step-by-step guide which describes the perfect Africology shave.

Shaving cream
Taking the scrapes and cuts out of shaving, our deeply moisturising cream provides a smoother shave with shea butter and jojoba beads. Your skin is left feeling soft, protected and moisturised. Shea butter has natural spf of 7, providing further protection against the sun. Usually retails at R435.

Body Scrub
We blend walnut and marula shell powder to provide a gentle, chemical-free exfoliator. The scrub delivers sunflower oil, rich in linoleic acid, vitamins A, B complex, D and E, calcium, zinc, potassium, iron and phosphate into the skin. All of these contribute to the general well-being of the cell membrane. Aloe ferox extract and marula oil help to create a smooth, soft finish. Retails at R212

Marula Conditioning Body Oil
To create an oil this luxurious, we infused marula oil with rooibos and neroli to soften signs of aging through its anti-stress action. An all-over body serum that is rich in palmatic acid, sealing the skin off from free radical attack. 5ml sachet retails at R8

Hydrating Cleansing Gel
Designed to cleanse without drying the skin, this gel contains quillaja extract and soapwort, which are natural and mild cleansing and foaming agents. Reactive skin is usually the result of the mind seeking protection, hence increased oil production. By not stripping the skin of its natural oil, the gel cleanses and gently rebalances. Seaweed extract maintains skin health while smoothing and moisturising. The skin is firmed and stimulated. It can also be combined with our Cleansing Lotion to assist combination skin in balancing itself. 5ml Sachet retails at R7

Moisturiser
Perfect for a day cream and so versatile, this intensely hydrating cream is enriched with olive extracts that deliver our active ingredients into the skin. A cocktail of aloe ferox, marula oil, sweet almond, coconut and grapeseed blended into rich shea leaves the skin soothed, softened and protected. Shea provides natural sun protection factor and is combined with rose oil to fragrance the skin and balance the hormonal system. The cream is packed with natural antioxidants that protect and renew the cellular process. Free from artificial fragrances that can damage the DNA of the skin; this moisturiser is an essential part of your daily skincare routine. 5ml Sachet retails at R25.

This special is running for the month of June and retails at R460, Stocks are limited so make sure you hurry to our Store in Rosebank or email orders@africology-sa.com to avoid disappointment.

Get Dad something he would really enjoy….
