Usually, I'd look at the name of something like this, see the word 'miracle' and start exercising my cynical muscle. But I've actually got a pot of Freeze 24/7 (which I paid £60 for, more fool me) and it is a miracle!
It's not perfect. The texture could do with a little work, and if you put too much on then it does that flaking thing that normally only happens when you put too many layers of cream on. But what it does do, is plump up lines and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Instantly. No word of a lie...
Nowadays, it's rare to come across a product that doesn't promise to leave you glowing. But what's rarer, is products that actually deliver that promise. Luckily for me (and you seeing as I'm reluctantly sharing my discovery) I've struck lucky in the glow-getting treasure hunt.
Kimia Exquisite Rejuvenating Facial System is a two step procedure of facial oil and a hydra-activator. Both are created exclusively with natural ingredients such as Neroli, Murula, Rosehip Oil and Lady's Mantle, and used together, they make my skin a more youthful, plumped, and yes, glowing version of its former self. Not only does it make it look better, but it feels better too. My moisturiser and make up go on so easily and beautifully, I seriously began to wonder if I'd had a skin transplant...
It's hard with beauty products to know which of the many so called 'miracle' products you really need. Well, you don't need to use A'kin's Rosehip oil, but your skin will love you for it if you do. I used this product as a night treatment, applied after cleansing and before bed. Purely because it was an oil, I found it a little too greasy for daytime use. My skin's been through some pretty tough times this last month (surfing is about as punishing as it gets, what with sea water and UV rays) but you know what, my skin actually looks better for it, and I've got organic rosa canina seed extracts to thank for that...
What is it? A natural range packing in New Zealand goodness such as kawakawa (a plant, I'll have you know), kiwi and manuka honey. What's the big idea? They want you to connect with nature, via their key ingredient...extra virgin avocado oil. A super potent anti-oxidant, so they say. What to buy? Oooh, take your pick! I like the sound of the Heavenly Body Oil, though. Here's what they say about it, 'an intense moisturising experience to rejuvenate your skin... an out-of-this-world fragrance'. Can my wallet take it? Yes if it's close to pay day - prices range from £14.95 for the Kowhai Flower Hand Cream, to £28.95 for the Avocado Pear Night Cream. Oooh, I want some! Great! You can buy direct from Antipodes in most countries.
What is it? A skincare range formulated around Himalayan White Gold Crystal and 84 other natural wonders of the world. What's the big idea? Perhaps unsurprisingly, Ina Crystals is the only beauty range created with Himalayan White Gold Crystal. The latest wonder
ingredient, the crystals apparently 'encourage the skin's ability to self generate and revert back to its natural alkaline state'. What to buy? The White Gold Purifying Face Mask is said to protect against pollution and leave your skin ravishingly radiant (don't they all!). Can my wallet take it? Maybe, despite containing crystals and having names like 'White Gold Glow Face Wash' this isn't fall-over-in-shock expensive, but it ain't dirt cheap either. Prices start at £22 and rocket up to £90 for a gift set. Oooh, I want some! Head to Space NK, where it's just joined their stock.
A few years back every beauty editor in the land seemed to be singing the praises of Chantecaille's foundation, and then...nothing. Well, it all went a bit quieter, anyhow. Now they've just launched a new range of tinted moisturisers, called Just Skin, so I imagine the raving is about to start all over again. The tinted moisturiser is packed with all the right things (SPF 15 and anti-oxidants), but I'm just not sure that I could ever (no matter how much money I had) spend £52 on a tinted moisturiser. Could you?
What? A super-hero hydrating mist that defends your skin from 'environmental aggression'. Why? Wear around smokers (or yourself) to protect your skin. Why not?You don't believe the that 'rhodochrosite vital ions' - the main ingredient - means anything. How? Mist on for anti-oxidant protection. Umm, as for when to mist on, your guess is as good at mine. Often, to be on the safe side. Where?£13 at Mac Cosmetics.
