In summer, our skin and hair are a breeze to maintain in comparison to the colder months. Skin starts to feel dry and the glowing complexion the sun’s rays have kissed our faces with (and provided us with natural sources of minerals and vitamins) begin to fade.
Rescu. sought out to find the most restoring beauty solutions to get through the colder months and reinvigorate skin and hair with the hydration it’s craving.

Jocelyn Petroni has been the secret of the most beautiful faces in Sydney for the past 10 years. From her light filled private salons in Sydney’s Paddington and Woollahra, clients emerge from a bliss bubble after experiencing the truly transformative powers of this revered skin svenglai. The bespoke facial treatment is a combination of thorough and customised cleansing, treatment, healing and various modes of extra treatment including Omnilux light therapy, extractions and peels. Joss is the ultimate mixologist when it comes to customising products and technique to coax even the most stressed and lack lustre skin to its full potential.
Rescu. Road Test: We experienced a highly hydrating and nourishing treatment to treat tired, jet lagged skin. Joss used products from the Ultraceutials MD range together with her signature massage and lymphatic drainage to drench the skin with pure hydration and active ingredients. Her double cleanse and expert extraction of congested areas around the nose, forehead and chin left our skin spotless and radiant for literally 2 weeks after the facial. To say that this was truly the most beautiful and restorative facial treatment we’ve had in years is an understatement. There’s a reason clients scramble to get on her waiting list for the $350 treatment. Once you experience the results and compliments your skin will get from Joss’ expert hands, you will never go back.

Kerastase has revolutionized the world of haircare through its exclusive in-salon rituals for 50 years, raising the standard for strands by bringing dull locks to radiating life. Women today have an average of over two hair concerns at any given time. Dull and lifeless, weak and brittle or coarse and unmanageable? We’re all a little too aware of these daily concerns, especially in today’s revolutionizing era of beauty.
The new Fusio-Dose treatment is able to target both the primary and secondary hair concern in a single application, personalizing each treatment for a total hair transformation. With increased dosage and performance of active ingredients, the ultra-personalised haircare solution, Kerestase has created a mixology bar to give women the ‘shot’ of beauty their hair needs.
Rescu. Road Test: We experienced the Fusion-Dose treatment at the AlanaKristian salon, Kerastase’s flagship store in Rose Bay, Sydney. The winter meant that my hair lacked vibrancy, volume and hydration. The Kerastate diagnostic camera analyses the hair and scallop at a magnitude of 600 times, allowing the hairstylist to read a precise hair diagnostic and identify both my primary and secondary hair needs. Discovering that in fact my hair was very healthy (despite how it felt), my stylist confirmed that my scalp was dry and my hair lacked hydration. Because my hair is very fine (although I have a lot of it) she picked a protection treatment (Booster Densite) as my secondary dose to ensure the harsh winter weather locked in my primary hydration boost (Concentrate Oleo-Fusion).
Needless to say, after a luxury experience with the most wonderful stylist, my hair was brought back to life with bouncy curls locked in place for my night’s activities. I walked away with a grin and handful of product that has maintained my hair in a healthy state since my treatment. For only $40, I was given a complete hair hydration overhaul and for the result, I’ll definitely be making my way back for another dose should I need a reboot.
