Elemis have had lots of exciting new releases lately, with not one, but TWO new cleansers, the first of which is the amazing sounding Superfood AHA Glow Cleansing Butter (honestly, doesn't the name alone make you want to smother your face in it?) and the second one is the Elemis Pro-Collagen Energising Marine Cleanser which I'm sharing with you today. Foaming cleansers are controversial[...]

Late last year I had an Oxyjet facial and was reminded of just how brilliant they can be for tricky skin types such as mine. Oxygen facials basically involve using an oxygenating tool to push product further into the skin without using anything too aggressive, so if you're sensitive, spot-prone or just have skin that benefits most from a lighter touch, oxygen facials are a winner.

My first introduction to LED Light Therapy was when I was gifted a Tria Clearing Blue Light (here's my review from way back in 2014) and I remember being incredibly cynical over the concept that passing a light over your skin would do anything at all, let alone aid in the battle against stubborn acne, but to my surprise, it really did, and I've been a convert to LED LT ever since. My fi[...]
"Quarantine skin" is definitely a thing. We're all suddenly (and for many, quite drastically) changing our lifestyles to meet the current lock-down criteria, so we're behaving differently, eating differently, worrying and stressing more and probably not sleeping in the same way we used to, all of which has an impact on our skin. My skin showed anxiety with lots of lovely breakouts and re[...]
The last time I left the safe confines of my home was just before the pandemic took hold; I attended a launch for the new Dr Dennis Gross B3 Adaptive Superfoods Stress Skincare range at Harrods and it was a strange experience, since there were very few people at the world famous shop, and I got to hang out with a few of my favourite bloggers whilst finding out more about this newest la[...]
When I was a teenager and living with my mum who was, at the time, a cosmetic practitioner, I used to do my own peels using her range of Jan Marini products. After a peel, I would use a moisturising mask that provided the most amazing feeling to my post-peel skin; it was like a surge of cooling moisture that felt incredible. The Nora Bode Cool Moisture Mask feels exactly like that, whi[...]
It's been absolutely ages since I did a Mask Monday post, even though I'm still using masks a lot, particularly any that offer hydration as my skin is still adjusting to a higher retinol percentage and it is very dry and flaky. To me, the mark of a good moisturising mask is one that feels rich on the skin but doesn't absorb too quickly, as otherwise you might as well just apply a thi[...]
In these horrendously scary times, I feel that things like a little bit of at-home pampering can make all the difference - I don't think I've ever taken as many baths as I have since I started my self-isolation! With that in mind, the arrival of the Elemis 5 Piece Pro-Collagen Hydrate & Nurture Collection QVC UK TSV couldn't be better timed. The set is a good mix of skincare and[...]
Disclosure: I have worked with FOREO on previous ad campaigns but this isn't one of them! I shared this because I think it's very cool and I am not being paid to feature. This is an awesome promotion FOREO are running, so I just wanted to give you a quick heads-up! From 1st - 8th March 2020, you can nominate an inspirational woman in your life who will then be sent a FOREO LUNA mini 2 c[...]
At some point today we'll be seeing the launch of the Time Bomb Biggest & Best Collection, a skincare set consisting of four supersized, hero products from the Time Bomb collection. You're getting plenty of product with a huge collective saving, so let's have a look at what you get: Time Bomb Take Off Time Cleanse and Buff (200ml, RRP £25) - a moisturising and gently exfo[...]
When it comes to skincare, my soft spot has always been cleansers; a good cleanser can turn a mundane, everyday experience into a few moments of relaxing luxury, so I have a HUGE collection of cleansers that I dip in and out of depending on my mood. Since the arrival of the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser and it's complimentary buddy, the CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser, I've almost exclusively u[...]
