Winter skin saviour: Nalia Skin launches 2-in-1 mask for a dewy, hydration complexion
That's exactly what Nalia Skin is bottling with its newest launch, and it's set to become your new skincare obsession.
Introducing The Dewy Duo by Nalia Skin: a two-in-one mask system that packs the power of a detoxifying clay mask and a deeply nourishing overnight treatment into one sleek, click-together jar.
It's smart, streamlined skincare that's made for people who want results without the fuss, and it's giving spa-at-home vibes in all the right ways.
Retailing for $115 with free shipping across Australia, the Dewy Duo is already gaining buzz for its clever design, impressive formula and luxe texture.
And right now, you can take 20 per cent off your entire order with the code DEWYOU20 until 31 July 2025.
So what's actually inside the jar? Think of it like a skincare double act one mask to clear the stage, and another to steal it.
On one side, you've got the Nalia Skin Clay Mask, a creamy blend of Kaolin and Bentonite clays that helps draw out impurities and unclog pores without leaving your skin parched.
It's spiked with antioxidant-rich Davidson Plum (an Australian native powerhouse), and has just the right amount of coconut oil to keep things balanced.
The texture is smooth, the results are instant, and the Tropical Crème scent makes you feel like you're on a spa retreat in Queensland.
Then, there's the real MVP: the Nalia Skin Sleep In Nourishing Mask.
Designed to work while you sleep, this buttery overnight treatment is powered by L22 (3 per cent Squalene), an active that mimics the lipid profile of healthy, youthful skin.
Your skin wakes up looking plump, firm and properly hydrated. With calming Mangosteen and Tasmanian Kelp, it's the ultimate night cream in mask form and the White Melon scent is subtly addictive.
Unlike traditional masks that work solo, the Dewy Duo is made to be used together.
Start with the clay to detox and clarify, then follow with the sleep-in mask to soothe, repair and deeply moisturise. It's a mini-facial in two steps.
Nalia Skin was founded by Cambodian-Australian entrepreneur and digital creator Piyané Ung, who launched the brand earlier this year with a focus on high-performance, no-fuss formulas.
'Why should you need a six-step routine, or an expensive facial, when two masks can do it all?' she says. With the Dewy Duo, she's proving that streamlined skincare can still pack a serious punch.
From the dual-chamber packaging (which feels more luxe than your average bathroom shelf essential) to the smart formulas that actually do what they promise, this launch is anything but your average face mask. It's custom skincare in one clever little jar.

PFAS: New forever chemicals found in Sydney Water
In 2018, Buckley chaired the expert health panel for PFAS for the Australian government. He told the webinar he had looked over the state of research since then, and 'not much' had changed. Loading Dr Nicholas Chartres, a senior research fellow in the school of pharmacy at the University of Sydney, told this masthead it would have been most appropriate for the NSW Health webinar to present the findings of the US Environmental Protection Agency and NASEM reviews alongside the IARC evaluations. 'Government advice should not rely on individual experts, but rather rigorous, transparent reviews that reflect the most current science, when available,' he said. NASEM took a similar approach to the Australian panel in 2018, Chartres said, but was more rigorous and up to date, taking in the 139 human studies that had been published since then. A NSW Health spokesperson said it had convened an expert panel to report to the chief health officer on a range of clinical matters relating to PFAS. The webinar was to support local clinicians to provide information and give them a chance to share case studies and ask questions, the spokesperson said. STOP PFAS convener Jon Dee in Leura. Credit: Sitthixay Ditthavong Jon Dee, from Blue Mountains community group STOP PFAS, said: 'The PFAS in our drinking water was an Erin Brockovich-level contamination, yet NSW Health is downplaying this and ignoring a huge amount of international evidence about PFAS health risks.' Blood donations Buckley told the webinar about a third of PFAS in a human body would be in the blood stream, and if individuals were concerned about their PFAS levels and wanted to be proactive in lowering it, they could consider donating blood. 'You'd be getting rid of 3 per cent of your PFAS in your body every time you gave 500ml of blood,' Buckley said. Loading 'If you quietly said 'you're welcome to give blood and you will get rid of 3 per cent of the PFAS in your body every time you give blood', I actually think it's not a bad idea.' A randomised clinical trial of 285 Victorian firefighters in 2019 found donating blood lowered PFAS levels, while the PFAS Health Study at the Australian National University has identified menstruation as one of the reasons why PFAS levels are lower in Australian women than men at population level. Jones told the webinar she disagreed with blood donation to lower PFAS because it could cause persistent anaemia and there was 'no proven causality between PFASes and adverse health effects'. Buckley responded that it was 'a futile exercise in getting rid of PFAS at one level – you're not expecting health benefits', but as long as it was in the guidelines for blood donation, he did not see any huge problems with it. Sydney tap water Residents in the Blue Mountains have been exposed to high levels of PFAS, especially PFOS from firefighting foam, in drinking water for at least 17 years and possibly up to 32 years. Water with PFAS levels above safe limits had been supplying 78,000 residents from Mount Victoria to Glenbrook, according to Sydney Water, until the pipeline to a contaminated dam was disconnected last year. Last week, the NSW Environment Protection Authority put out a warning that people should limit their consumption of fish from Wentworth Falls Lake to one serve of redfin perch per week and all other fish species to two serves a week because of the results of testing of surface water and fish for PFAS. Peter Morse, a master fly casting instructor, was out at Wentworth Falls Lake on Monday honing his skills. He said he never catches fish in the lake mainly because of concerns about urban run-off from nearby houses, but noted the lake was stocked with trout annually and they were always fished out by the end of the season. 'It's a popular spot for kids in the mountains to go fishing, and I suspect if they catch a trout, they're going to take it home for mum to cook,' Morse said. On Tuesday, it emerged that University of NSW researchers have found a total of 31 PFAS types in Sydney tap water, including one never before found in tap water anywhere in the world, publishing their findings in the journal Chemosphere overnight. The samples were analysed per drinking water catchment and found to be highest around North Richmond, with potential contamination from the air base. The detected PFAS included 3:3 FTCA, thought to be only the second global detection in any drinking water supply, and 6:2 diPAP, previously found in bottled water and now detected in tap water for the first time. Lead researcher Professor William Alexander Donald said the health effects of 3:3 FTCA were unknown, but there was some evidence to suggest that 6:2 diPAP caused thyroid and reproductive issues. PFOS was found at 6 parts per trillion (ppt), which is 2 ppt below Australian drinking water guidelines of 8 ppt, but higher than the Trump-era US EPA's advisory limit of 4 ppt. Donald said one of the most interesting findings was that Sydney tap water had high levels of PFBA, a short-chain PFAS that is being used as a replacement for the banned substances, PFOS and PFOA. 'It's more mobile in the environment, so it shouldn't persist as long, but across all the samples it has the highest average concentration,' Donald said. 'It shows this idea that you can make tweaks to these chemicals to get around using the banned substances, but then … it ends up in our tap water.' The Australian Drinking Water Guidelines from the National Health and Medical Research Council covers five main types of PFAS: PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, PFBS and GenX chemicals. A Sydney Water spokesperson said drinking water from all nine of its water filtration plants was safe to drink and met the guidelines.

Exclusive: Aussies at risk of money and ID fraud as medical shame drives them to buy drugs online from pharmaceutical scammers
Websites claiming to sell pharmaceuticals without need of prescriptions are popping up in the thousands. They are part of a scam phenomenon known as pharma fraud, taking aim at bank accounts globally, and capitalising on the shame that surrounds certain medications. Pills for erectile disfunction, premature ejaculation, male pattern balding, weight loss and bodybuilding are among the medications splashed on the front page of these sites, many of which are directly targeting Australians. Of the 5000 sites globally detected by cyber security company Avast, 41 per cent of the medications were targeting men's sexual health. In the first half of this year alone, Avast blocked 21,000 attacks on Australians. But for those without protective software, which knows these websites and flags them to users, it can be hard to detect that the website is not legitimate, Avast cyber security expert Stephen Kho told A new development in artificial intelligence, known as 'vibe coding' has made it easier than ever for scammers to pump out dozens of dodgy websites a day. The thousands of pharma fraud sites Avast is aware of were likely created by just a few groups of scammers, Kho said. The same technology also makes it harder to distinguish the sites as fakes. 'You can literally talk to an AI chatbot and say, create me a website with a checkout and this kind of wording, for this kind of product, to sell in this colour, and add these features — and it will produce it,' Kho said. 'You can test it, tweak it and deploy it, and suddenly you've got a URL'. Kho said that many pharma fraud sites are made with Australian URLs, display Australian currency, and promote shipping to Australian locations, including one still-operational website which has sighted, but will not make public for safety reasons. 'Some websites look like they are Australian, but are actually located and distributing goods from overseas,' the Therapeutic Health Administration (TGA) said. 'It is so hard to pick these days, it used to be that dodgy spelling made it easy to pick, but nowadays things look glossy and professional and the grammar is good,' Kho said. Like many scams, he says they use 'emotional triggers or a sense of urgency'. Because taboo products are increasingly being made available online, and legitimate sites like Temu 'are also using these urgency tactics', Kho said there is now an additional layer of difficulty to discerning a fake website. Sometimes it is safer to avoid anything that rings alarm bells. 'Look at what regulations we have in Australia, pharmaceuticals are heavily regulated, so that should be ringing alarm bells,' Kho said. 'If a site is not asking for prescriptions, that is clearly dodgy, because you're bypassing it from a safety perspective, but also there can be money lost.' 'Diluted, contaminated, or even just chalk' Kho said that these scam websites can simply take a customer's money and send nothing in return, or they can jeopardise safety by sending unregulated products. The TGA said fake medicine 'could be diluted, contaminated, or even just chalk'. 'Anyone that is willing to break the law to take your money could also be willing to cheat you or risk your health.' Almost a decade ago, The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimated the global annual death toll from counterfeit drugs was about a million. The Australian Federal Police released a warning in May after counterfeit pain relief in NSW, Queensland, Victoria, and the ACT were found to contain synthetic opioids 10 times more potent than fentanyl. Risk of overdose is not the only danger — contamination-related reactions, or simply a lack of protection from nonactive ingredients, all put consumers of counterfeit drugs at risk. 'In the case of diluted antibiotics, understrength medicines contribute to antimicrobial resistance,' TGA said And it can be hard to tell the difference — the image below, the top pill is a legitimate Pfizer product, while the bottom two are fake. The dangerous money-saving measure could also be driving up the cost of legitimate medication. 'Companies spend a lot of money and resources fighting imitation medicines, which, in turn, may lead to higher costs for the consumer,' TGA said. 'We're falling for it' For those hellbent on heading to the checkout on unfamiliar websites, Kho recommends doing a little bit of research first. 'If you get a link to a pharmacy site, instead of clicking on it, do a Google search for that site and first look at reviews,' he said. Negative reviews slamming the site 'is a good indication' it is dodgy. Kho said that it is important that pharma fraud scams are discussed, because they will otherwise fly under the radar. 'Because of the taboo nature, people are probably not even reporting it,' he said 'There's also that thing of buying something without a prescription and not wanted to report it to police for that reason. 'Scammers are really targeting the Australian population, and for whatever reason, we're falling for it. 'We're losing money, and we're probably getting our credentials stolen.'

Australian GP's prescribing social interaction to combat increasing experience of loneliness
The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners has thrown its support behind prescribed social interaction to combat increasing loneliness amongst Australians. The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners has thrown its support behind prescribed social interaction to combat increasing loneliness amongst Australians. Credit: cocoparisienne / Pixabay (user cocoparisienne) Australian doctors are recommending a social interaction prescription to combat a growing experience of loneliness. A World Health Organisation report has found that one in six people experience loneliness, and estimates that between 2014-2019 nearly over 850,000 people died from loneliness-related causes. The report found that loneliness may increase the risk of all-cause mortality by nine to 22 per cent in older adults. A separate report from Ending Loneliness Together found that loneliness is experienced by 43 per cent of Australians between the ages of 15 and 25, and that 15 per cent of them experience chronic loneliness persisting across two years. Royal Australian College of General Practitioners president Dr Michael Wright says the use of social prescription can connect patients with non-clinical community services, to fight loneliness. 'Social prescribing is increasingly being recognised as a way to build social well-being into primary care, which we saw when the RACGP joined more than 50 other key health bodies to work towards implementation of social prescribing as a parallel system of care last year,' he said. Social prescribing involves the support of patients by GPs and health professionals in the consideration of taking up hobbies, activities, or joining a community group to combat loneliness. Dr Wright said social disconnection can lead to heart disease, stroke, depression, and anxiety. 'One study found that lacking social connection is as dangerous as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day,' he said. 'Social connection should be, and increasingly is, a public health priority.' RACGP specific interests social prescribing chair Dr Kulit Singh said support for the approach is growing and could reinforce the role of GPs as preventative and whole-of-person care specialists. 'Social prescribing can strengthen and complement our care in a way that gives patients power and autonomy,' she said. '(It) can be a health approach to addressing the social disconnection we've seen since the pandemic — a script against loneliness.' 'At the moment, there are barriers to more formal adoption of social prescribing. Most general practices don't have access to a link worker who can match patients to activities that meet their social needs.' In March the RACGP called for government and health providers to support social prescribing in regional and rural Australia to combat loneliness factors such as geographic isolation, and limited access to health and social services. A lack of transport, public or private, can mean older regional adults often lack social and health service support. But Dr Singh said support for the approach is growing a could reinforce the role of GPs as preventative and whole-of-person care specialists, referring to a 2022 WHO toolkit to support implementation and a trial program by the Victoria Government across six regions. 'There are opportunities to build networks that support social prescribing,' she said. 'And the nature of social prescribing — making healthy connections around your interests — makes it an approach with real advantages that we all benefit from growing.' In March Dr Singh urged for a focus on regional and rural Australian's, and a nationally coordinated approach to tackle the nation's mental health crisis and ease pressure on the healthcare system. 'We know that people living outside of metro areas experience poorer health outcomes,' she said. 'They face greater barriers accessing healthcare, including other specialist services such as psychologists and psychiatrists.' Dr Wright said Loneliness Awareness Week, which runs from August 4 to 10, highlighted the significance and importance of social connection to a persons health. 'Loneliness Awareness Week has highlighted the harms,' he said. 'What GPs and patients need is support to implement social prescribing as a cure.'
