Best known for their fabulous sun tanning products, Santorini Sun are an Australan beauty brand with a difference. Founder and Managing Director of Santorini Sun, Paula Theordore, was a born and raised Melbourne girl, but she learnt early the power of organic ingredients harvested from real foods. Starting at her grandfather’s orange orchids in Greece, she saw how he turned herbs and ingredients from his own garden into products that kept him looking young.

Paula has now done it herself by creating Nature’s Facelift Oil, containing a newly discovered miracle ingredient, Olive Squalane. We spoke with her to find out what this ingredient can do for us.

Glam: You have just released a serum that contains 100% pure Olive Squalane extract, why this ingredient is so good for us?

Paula Theodore: Squalane is required for our skin to keep it moisturised and prevent signs of ageing, our body produces a small amount of squalane, but begins to diminish starting in our twenties. It also works as a powerful anti-oxidant that protects our skin from free radical damage. Nature’s Facelift Oil (derived from olives) in the unique formulation we have created benefits the skin by: preventing wrinkles, reducing appearance of wrinkles, clears skin tone, plumps and lifts skin, heals scars and dries instantly leaving no oily residue.

There is also the benefit of knowing you are applying a product that is 100% from nature with no chemicals or synthetics.

Glam: Is there anything else we can do to slow down our body’s loss of squalane?

Paula Theodore: Many factors may contribute to the body’s loss of squalane mainly due to ageing and environmental factors, we can however with a healthy diet and holistic lifestyle contribute to the slowing down of this process. Stress is definitely a contributing factor to the body’s loss of vital sources and nutrients, meditation has also had significant results in keeping the body younger for longer.

Shark squalane is also available in tablet form; however you should consult a doctor before taking these kinds of supplements that are derived from animal.

Glam: What sort of results can we expect to see after using Nature’s Facelift Oil?

Paula Theodore: I have seen some amazing results with the continued use of Nature’s Face lift Oil. As it can also be used on the body, I have seen aging hands rejuvenated, brown spots disappear, deep lines fade and great results on eczema. Some have even been asked if they have had BOTOX !!.
