RODAN & FIELDS Detox Mask – Rachel
What we think: The Rodan + Fields RECHARGE Detox Face Mask is exactly what my skin needed after lots of indulging and late nights over the festive season. As described, my skin after using the mask just once was instantly moisturised, plump, and noticeably glowy! The formula is enriched with skin-loving ingredients such as charcoal, volcanic sand, mango seed butter, coconut oil and avocado oil – a rich black mask with a lovely fruity scent. This is my new go-to product for getting my skin back on track and for a much-needed end-of-week reset with its purifying magic – the results are real!
SUKIN Deep Cleanse Purifying Tonic - Lucy
What we think: This deep cleansing tonic is great if I am only wanting to do one wash that week. I spray into my roots to help remove any excess oil and build up to give my scalp an intensive clean which helps my hair last longer between washes. I this this is a great little product to add into your routine especially if you have particularly oily hair. No better way to feel fresh and ready for the new year than clean gorgeous looking hair!
DERMALOGICA Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum – Jess
What we think: Now that I am in my 30's my New Years Resolution was to have a more consistent and powerful skincare routine, and the Dermalogica retinol was a perfect addition to this! This is a highly effective serum and my skin feels noticeably softer and smoother when I wake up the next morning. I have sensitive skin so I have only been using it once a week to start with and I have already noticed a significant difference in the texture of my skin, my pores appear smaller and I have noticed fine lines have reduced too. I would highly recommend this for beginner to intermediate beauty lovers.
GLOW LAB Plumping Night Cream – Issy R
What we think: Over the Christmas break I made the most of going to the beach which meant my skin needed some TLC from sunburn and laziness of not applying my usual skincare regime. I have been using the Pro-Collagen Plumping Night Cream to help repair and promote moisture retention. This cream is enriched with peptides and amino acid to stimulate my skin to produce collagen. The consistency is light but rich at the same time, therefore once applied it absorbs easily into the skin and provides a hit of hydration. Over the course of using the product I have noticed my skin feels smooth and more even.
DERMAVEEN Regenerating Night Cream – Ashley
What we think: This night cream is great for anyone with sensitive and dry skin. Dermaveen is a trusted brand and one that is dermatologically tested. Formulated with natural Colloidal Oatmeal, it's gentle on sensitive skin whilst rejuvenating and hydrating for your dry skin types. After consistent use my skin has improved. I have noticed an improvement in the hydration of my skin and it feels repaired from harsh sun exposure over summer.
ANTIPODES Vitamin C Water Cream– Issy D
What we think: After the Christmas holidays I am looking for an extra little TLC to amp up my routine. The Antipodes vitamin c water cream is packed with lots of peptide moisturising goodness to assist with the restoration after the festive season. I feel the brightness back in my skin and an overall even complexion. I also really love that this is a vegan product that is gentle on the skin and suitable for all skin types. The entire vitamin c range is a perfect and easy way to integrate brightness and health back into your routine for the year ahead.
