Product Review – Emani & Rosehip Plus

August 15, 2018 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , 10 Comments

I had the lovely opportunity of trying an Emani Foundation and a Rosehip Plus Oil, and they are now one of my current favourites products. Let’s talk about this Emani Foundation first. For those who have never heard of this foundation, it is a luxurious foundation infused with Hyaluronic Acid, Organic Nutrients and High Impact Pigments to give the skin an instant radiance. Hyaluronic Acid is such a great skincare ingredient to have in a product. It fortifies the skin’s natural barriers by penetrating and infusing all layers of the skin with rejuvenation moisture.

I have used this Emani foundation for weeks now and I have quite a lot to say about it. The shade I have here is Sand Beige and it suits my skin tone perfectly.

 

Here are the pros and cons.

PROS
  1. I love the packaging. The bottle is beautiful and the pump is easy to use with no messes.
  2. This foundation is a 100% vegan, gluten free, and cruelty free formula.
  3. It is very long lasting; it stays on all day.
  4. I love the medium coverage with dewy finish. It diminishes the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin pores.
  5. A little goes a long way with this foundation. I only use a tiny portion for my entire face and it is more than enough.

Rosehip Plus Oil Skin Boost Roll On

Rosehip Plus Oil Skin Boost Roll On is a 100% pure and natural Certified Organic oil, cold pressed from the seeds of the Rosehip (Rosa Canina). It helps the skin look healthy and shiny. It can be use on the face and body. I have used it a couple of times now and here are my thoughts.

 

PROS
  1. I like the compact packaging of this skincare product.
  2. It is very easy to use. You just roll it all around where you need it. Which is handy when you want to target specific areas.
  3. The fragrance is nice.
  4. It keeps my skin moisturised and silky.
  5. This product promotes skin elasticity and texture.
  6. It is a great travel beauty product as it is tiny and it won’t leak.

I really like this product. It is great for my skin and very affordable at only £10 for a 15ml tube. The RosehipPLUS range is now on Amazon.

A SkinBase Microdermabrasion Treatment

August 15, 2018 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , 22 Comments

You all know how crazy I am when it comes to beauty and skincare products. Well I am also very into skincare treatments. I neglected my skin for many years, and I am actually playing catch up now. My skin is great but I would love to clear a few pigmentation issues. I had the golden opportunity to have a SkinBase Microdermabrasion Treatment a week ago, and my facial skin is still thanking me for it today. My skin has never looked so good.

 

What is Microdermabrasion

For those who have never heard of the Microdermabrasion Treatment, it is a non-invasive procedure that uses exfoliating tiny crystals or a diamond tip to help remove the layer of dead skin cells. When you remove the top layer of skin, the body interprets it as an injury. The body then quickly replaces the lost skin cells with new healthy ones.

My Microdermabrasion Treatment

My treatment was at Professional Eyes Studio in Northwich on a Saturday. As soon as I walked into the studio, I felt relaxed and ready for some pampering. The therapist examined my entire face. And then my face was cleansed of all makeup using a cleanser and the treatment started. I found the treatment completely painless and I was comfortable all through the treatment. A wand delivering a fine jet of abrasive crystals was used all over the skin. If I was to describe the sensation of the machine, it felt like an intense scrubbing on the face. Like a buff and polish of the skin.

Once the treatment was done, a simple moisturiser without any essential oils, AHA’s, glycolics or retinol was applied to replenish lost moisture and to prevent the skin becoming dry and peeling. The moisturiser used after this treatment must contain SPF to protect the skin from excessive sun exposure

The entire Microdermabrasion treatment was about 30 minutes. It ended with a hand massage which felt so good. As an online entrepreneur, I am forever online typing one thing or the other on a gadget, so having a hand massage was exactly what my tired fingers needed.

Microdermabrasion Aftercare Advice
  1. Heavy makeup should not be used for the first 12 hours after the treatment.
  2. No swimming, facial waxing or fake tan application for the first 24 hours.
  3. Saunas, sun beds, sun exposure, botox, collagen injections or dermal fillers should not be used for the first 48 hours.
  4. Anti-ageing creams, AHAs, Glycolics, retinol or exfoliating products should not be used for the first 72 hours.

Who needs Microdermabrasion

I would recommend this treatment to anyone dealing with pigmentation, acne scarring, wrinkles and fine lines. SkinBase™ is the leading Microdermabrasion treatment.  There are over 2,000 accredited salons and spas in the UK & Ireland, so there should be a salon near you. The therapist at the salon would examine your skin during the first consultation to determine the course of treatment you need. Treatments plans can vary from single ‘beauty boost’ treatments to courses of 6 to 20 treatments every 7 to 10 days.

I had a single beauty boost treatment as my skin didn’t need a course of treatments. But I will be having a treatment every couple of months as I loved the glow the treatment has given my skin. It feels brand new. My skin has never looked this good and I am loving it so much. I didn’t have any reactions after the treatment except a bit of dryness which went away after 24 hours. I used lots of Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion for the first 48 hours to replenish moisturise. It helped a lot. And I did splash my face with cold water once after the treatment when my face felt dead dry. With lots of mosituriser afterwards.

 

You can check out the short video below to see how my skin glowed after the treatment. The picture above does not do it justice.
