Rice – It’s Not Just for Eating!

29/07/2022 29/07/2022 0

While rice may seem like a fairly basic and humble ingredient in cooking, there are physical properties of rice which make it very useful in skincare. Rice water can help to fight the signs of ageing, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and promote smoother, firmer skin. And while rice powder has intense mattifying capacities, rice water also helps nourish dry skin with deep moisturising abilities. With this in mind, we’ve delved into our stock cupboards to find five of the best products which harness the power of rice:

Medik8 Eyelift Peptides

Medik8 Eyelift Peptides is a multi-action anti-ageing eye serum that helps to lift and shape the look of eye contours for an immediate well-rested look. It contains a complex of 5 age-defying peptides which help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines for a rejuvenating boost. At the same time, rice and soy proteins strengthen collagen and protect against free radical damage to reduce puffiness and improve the skin’s texture.

Elemis Superfood Cica Calm Booster

Fermented rice water and green tea seed oil is combined with a balancing prebiotic, for a nourishing and hydrating boost from this calming booster. It has a unique water-meets-oil texture which gives your skin a multivitamin pick-me-up, and also contains cica and agave, to help calm and soothe the skin. It’s perfect for anyone with dry, ageing or reactive skin which needs a dose of TLC.

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

Another product with a unique texture, this microfoliant contains a rice-based enzyme powder that activates upon contact with water to smooth the skin and accelerate cell renewal. It is combined with a blend of Green Tea, Ginkgo and Colloidal Oatmeal which calms inflammation, leaving the skin extraordinarily clear and refreshed. It’s gentle enough to use on a daily basis, which makes it stand apart from many other exfoliators on the market although it should not be used on skin that is sunburned, irritated, sensitive or has recently been waxed.

Aromatherapy Associates Anti-Ageing Overnight Repair Mask

Aromatherapy Associates Anti-Ageing Overnight Repair Mask is a deeply nourishing anti-ageing face mask that helps to smooth out lines and firm the skin, treating you to an overnight facial. It contains rose and frankincense essential oils which reduce redness and calm sensitivity, as well as strawberry seed extracts which are rich in fatty acids, while nourishing oils of rice germ and millet seed help protect against environmental damage. It is suitable for all skin types, but is particularly recommended for dry, dehydrated and mature skin.

Elemis Superfood Night Cream

As well as containing rice bran oil, which is full of antioxidants, vitamins B and E, and natural emollients, this night cream contains extracts from a host of superfoods. Quinoa extract contributes all eight essential amino acids which help lock moisture into the skin, while black seed oil is rich in Omega 6, vitamins, antioxidants and amino acids to support the skin’s lipid barrier for a healthy glow. Finally, an essential oil blend of lavender, ylang ylang and vetivert help promote feelings of relaxation before sleep, allowing you to wake up to healthy-looking skin with an outdoor-fresh glow.

How to Look Good All Day At a Summer Wedding

22/07/2022 22/07/2022 0

Here in the UK, wedding season is truly in full swing and it’s likely that many of us have at least one invitation taped to the fridge. If you’ve been invited to the ceremony and the reception, you may need to stay looking good for anywhere up to 12 hours, which is no small task when copious amounts of food and champers are in play, let alone the current heatwave we’re experiencing. With this in mind, we’ve put together a cheat-sheet to help you to stay looking polished from the “I Do”s, right through to the final dance:

Use a Long-Lasting Moisturiser

With the amount of photos taken at most weddings, it’s important for your make-up to stay looking good all day. This means that getting your base right is key, and the starting point is choosing the right skincare to go beneath it. Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Intense helps to kick-start the natural production of hyaluronic acid in the skin, to deliver immediate and long-term hydration for all-day moisture. This will stop your foundation from drying out and becoming flaky, giving you a flawless face throughout.

Get Your Tan Right

If you want to have a golden glow then using a fake tan, such as St.Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse, is the way to go. The colour is long-lasting and streak free, giving you a natural looking tan without any of the risk of sun damage. This is even better if you’re attending a beach wedding and want to look glowing, and it will even help your skin to look fab without any make-up.

Keep Your Makeup Simple

While there’s a temptation to go all-out in the make-up stakes for weddings, keeping things simple is a much better way to go, especially if you’re hoping for longevity. HD Brows Kajal is a super-soft, creamy and easy to apply eye crayon which is densely pigmented and has a long-lasting formula, perfect for creating intense and smoky eye looks. It’s available in Intense Black for a super smokey look, or Rich Brown for a more natural, yet still intense style, giving you a choice of looks for the big day.

Protect Your Nails

If you want a professional looking manicure that will last all day, but don’t have the budget, investing in CND Vinylux Long Wear Top Coat is a good compromise. It’s designed to work with CND Vinylux Weekly Nail Polishes to achieve long lasting results and give a salon finish for a fraction of the cost. The top coat is fully dry in 8 ½ minutes and doesn’t need a base coat, making it a convenient 2-step system which will not just last the day, but give you a whole week of wear.

Dance-Proof Your Hair

Keeping your hair looking good after a full day of drinking, dining and dancing in a potentially hot and humid environment is no small task. GHD Perfect Ending-Final Fix Hairspray will keep your hair in place around the clock. Removing at the stroke of a brush, the subtly scented spray allows for easy re-styling, whilst its humidity resistance controls frizz and flyaways. It’s perfect for holding your style in place without making your hair crispy and even comes in a handy handbag-sized can for reapplication throughout the day.

Five Tips for Better Sleep During a Heatwave

15/07/2022 15/07/2022 0

Photo by Rachel Claire

While most of us are thoroughly enjoying the uncommonly warm weather that we’re being blessed with, here in the UK, there’s no denying the fact that it’s making sleep more elusive. Air conditioned houses aren’t hugely common on our temperate shores, which means that we’ve all been revving up the fans in order to try to get some rest. The problem with that is that fans can be noisy, which isn’t always conducive to sleep, so we’ve put together some other tips and tricks that you can try to help to make sleeping during a heatwave more comfortable:

Have a Cool Shower

It might not be the most pleasant experience, but a cold shower will cool you down right before bed. If you’re really averse to an icy blast, then go for lukewarm water; it will still have a cooling effect. Additionally, using This Works Deep Sleep Shower Gel will leave skin feeling soft, moisturised and lightly fragranced, preparing you for a peaceful night’s sleep. You can also allow yourself to air dry, rather than rubbing with a towel, to allow your body to stay cooler for longer.

Swap Your Skincare

If you use a night cream, swapping it for one which contains ingredients to encourage sleep and relaxation can help when you’re sweltering. Decleor Lavender Fine Night Balm is formulated to work at night when the skin is most receptive. The sensual and aromatic balm relaxes the senses before sleep and has a heavenly melt-in texture allowing it to be rapidly absorbed. The combination of geranium, camomile and lavender will work on your skin and your senses so that you wake up to plumped, soft and beautifully rested skin.

Cool Your Pulse Points

The pulse points on your body can cool the rest of you effectively – place a cold flannel or ice cubes in a plastic bag on your wrists and neck and you’ll be surprised by the effectiveness. We’d also highly recommend applying Elemis Instant Refreshing Gel to your pulse points as it combines soothing extracts of arnica, birch and witch hazel, with cooling camphor and menthol, which will help you to feel as though you’re cooling down.

Use a Pillow Mist

Another way to give you a better chance of falling asleep even when you’re too hot and sticky is by making sure your environment is calming. Using a pillow mist, such as Aromatherapy Associates Deep Relax Sleep Mist, will help you to shrug off daily fatigue, slow a racing mind and prepare you for undisturbed, restorative sleep. It contains a handcrafted blend of vetivert, camomile and sandalwood pure essential oils which also help to ease stress and anxiety.

Wear a Mask

Wearing masks in bed can be great in a number of ways. An eye mask can sometimes help you to sleep during the summer as it helps to block out the light if you’re trying to sleep before it’s completely dark. It’s also a good time to use a facial mask product such as Decleor Sweet Orange Skin Perfecting Sleeping Mask, as it reduces the appearance of dark spots, which can be a particular problem during the summer. Finally, Hayo’u Clear Quartz Crystal Eye Mask will give you a truly transformative experience as it helps decrease puffiness, soothe tired eyes and release tension.

Problems With Your Scalp? Here’s What Could Be Causing It…

08/07/2022 07/07/2022 0

The scalp is one of the most forgotten areas of skin on our whole body, mostly because it’s usually completely covered by hair. However, that means that the first thing we know about problems relating to the scalp is itching or flakiness, which can be tricky to resolve once they’ve begun. With this in mind, we’re taking a look at five common scalp problems, what could be causing them and how you can fix them:

Itching

Having an itchy scalp (providing you don’t have kids of school-age or spend a lot of time with nit-carriers!) is usually a result of sensitivity to certain ingredients. Many cheaper shampoos rely on harsh chemicals to clean your hair and scalp but these chemicals can often cause a reaction in your skin, leaving you itchy and uncomfortable. Aromatherapy Associates Shampoo is a gentle cleansing shampoo with a blend of essential oils that leaves your hair and scalp healthy and strong, without any of the irritation of other formulas.

Flakiness

The scalp, just like any other area of skin, can suffer from dryness, which can ultimately lead to flakiness and unsightly dandruff. Combine this with product build-up and you could end up looking like you’ve walked through a snowstorm, even in Summer. Elemis Frangipani Monoi Hair and Scalp Mask is a luxurious 3-in-1 hair treatment mask that can be used as a deep cleansing scalp treatment, an in shower deep conditioner or an intensive overnight mask. It will moisturise your hair and scalp and help to prevent future flakiness.

Soreness

Scalp soreness is a generalised feeling of pain on the surface of your scalp and can be cause by a number of different things, from harsh hair dyes, tight ponytails and overbrushing. It’s even possible that you could be using a hairbrush made of materials to which your skin is sensitive! For this reason, we recommend switching to a Color Wow Dream Smooth Professional Paddle Brush. It’s designed to detangle and style wet hair, helping to prevent breakage for an ultra-smooth finish, without pulling the hair or damaging the scalp.

Sunburn

As we mentioned above, many people forget about their scalp and this is especially true when it comes to sunscreen. If you aren’t wearing a hat, it’s really important to protect your head and scalp with an SPF. If you get a sunburn on your scalp, you may experience redness, irritation, and swelling. In severe cases, depending on the amount of time you spend in the sun, the scalp can blister and can even cause hair loss. Spray a little Decleor Aloe Vera Sun Bi-Phase Oil SPF30 on your parting or areas of scalp which aren’t well-covered to avoid this.

Tension

Believe it or not, your scalp is one of the most common areas for tension to manifest and a tight scalp can lead to real pain. Your scalp can also be affected by tension in your neck and jaw, so if you’re prone to stress, you might want to watch out for this. The best way to help relieve scalp tension is with massage, using something like Elemis Instant Refreshing Gel, which is an instant revitaliser, perfect for muscle tension, especially on the scalp, shoulders and neck.

How to Build a Skincare Routine

01/07/2022 01/07/2022 0

Photo by Anna Shvets

Almost every beauty related article that you read will make some sort of reference to the fact that everybody needs a “skincare routine”. This usually relates to what products you use on your face, as well as how and when you use them. For people who have unproblematic skin, this is a simple case of choosing which product you want to use and using them. Voila! Simple, no?

Maybe not, if your skin has any sort of special need. Having oily, dry, acne prone or some other type of skin means you might find it slightly more difficult to find a combination of products which works for your specific complexion. With this in mind we thought we would take a look at the simplest way to build a skincare routine which works for you.

Identify Your Skin Type

The first step to creating a personalised skincare routine is identifying your own skin type. Is your skin dry? Do you suffer with oily skin? Are you a teen with acne or blemish prone skin? Every different skin type will benefit from different ingredients in their skincare so it’s important to know what your skin needs. There are four basic types of healthy skin: normal, dry, oily and combination skin.

Start With the Basics

Everybody knows the age old mantra “cleanse, tone, moisturise“, and while it may seem like a cliche this is genuinely the best place to start. Once you’ve identified your skin type, take a look at the collections offered for your specific skin concern and you will usually find at the very least a cleanser, toner and moisturiser which are specifically designed for your skin. You don’t have to always use every product from the same range, however you may find that products from one collection often work best together.

Add Any Extras

Once you’ve got the cleanse, tone and moisturise part of your skincare routine down, this is where you can start to think about any extras that your skin might need. For instance, if you are moisturising but still feel as though you have areas of dryness, you might benefit from a treatment mask to give your skin extra hydration. If you have ageing skin, you may want to opt for something a bit richer to ensure your skin is getting a collagen boost.

Skin which is prone to hyperpigmentation may need something to tackle dark spots and to even out your skin tone. Every face is completely unique and only you can decide where you need to get extra help from your skin care.

Persevere

This is perhaps the most important point in this entire article; we’ve lost count of the amount of times that our clients come back to us and say, after just a few days, they don’t think their skincare is making a difference.

While we do stock certain products which offer guarantees regarding how quickly they will work, generally speaking changes to your skin will take at least a month but you should follow a new skincare routine for at least three months to properly gauge effectiveness.

Before this point you have simply not given your products a chance to work their magic and unless you stick to the new routine you will never know how good your skin could look!

How to Achieve Your Most Dewy Skin Yet

24/06/2022 23/06/2022 0

Photo by Daniel Xavier

For the first part of the 2000s, matte skin was the most coveted look in the makeup and skincare industries. However, there has been a huge migration away from the flat-matte look of old and now, dewy, glossy skin is everyone’s top priority. Dewy skin refers to skin that is supple, glowing, and smooth, and hydration is absolutely key to achieving the look, no matter what your skin type is. Your skin care routine goes a long way in promoting dewy skin, so we’ve curated a selection of products which will give you your most dewy skin yet:

Elemis Superfood Glow Priming Moisturiser

This product from Elemis is as multifunctional as it can get – as well as giving the skin a deep wash of hydration, it can also be used as a primer beneath your make up, OR layered over the top of your base as a glowy highlighter. It contains an energising blend of kombucha and fermented ginger, which helps to promote a brighter appearance, as well as light-reflecting microminerals to impart a fresh, dewy glow.

This Works In Transit Camera Close Up

Okay, so we know we said the previous product was the ultimate multitasker, but this one also gives it a run for its money! It’s a mask, moisturiser and primer all-in-one which reduces redness and the appearance of wrinkles, leaving skin looking and feeling naturally radiant. You can use it to prep your skin for make-up, or if you’re feeling a more natural look then you can use this primer on its own for ‘zoom ready’ skin.

Aromatherapy Associates Hydrating Rose Face Mask

As we mentioned above, the first step towards a dewy complexion is ensuring that your skin is thoroughly hydrated, and there aren’t many products that can do it better than this mask from Aromatherapy Associates. It’s a Damask rose water-infused gel mask that returns vital hydration to the skin’s surface, flooding it with moisture and natural humectants. Skin emerges supremely hydrated, glowing and dewy-fresh.

Dermalogica Aqua Jelly

There’s a fine line between dewy and “face like a chip pan”, especially if you have an oily complexion to begin with. That’s why Dermalogica created this Aqua Jelly – a moisturiser for oily skin that gives all the dewy glow with none of the shine. This jelly-based cooling moisturiser’s water-like texture leaves skin feeling fresh and lightly hydrated, while helping to limit oil production and giving your skin some much needed balance.

Evolve Organic Beauty Climate Veil Tinted SPF20

With the trend for high-coverage, full-face makeup, it can be difficult to find a product which will give your skin a base without looking too made-up. Evolve Organic Beauty Climate Veil Tinted SPF20 is a beautifully tinted, lightweight broad spectrum SPF with mineral light reflecting natural pigments for a luminous dewy finish. It’s available in 4 different shades and is packed with bio retinol and linoleic acid to support the skin barrier layer and to lock moisture into the skin.

Summer Skin Hacks for Surviving a Heat Wave

17/06/2022 16/06/2022 0

If you’ve so much as walked past a newspaper display in the past few weeks, you’ll know that most of the major news outlets are predicting an incoming heatwave, here in the UK. Most of us Brits love the idea of watching the temperatures soar, although the reality of living in a hot and sticky climate is often a little different! With this in mind, we’ve put together our top five tips and hacks for helping you through a heatwave.

Use a Water-Based Moisturiser

When the heat and humidity start ramping up, you may want to consider using a different moisturiser. We’re not suggesting you should skip moisturiser during the summer—it’s all about finding one that suits your needs. SkinCeuticals Emollience is a nourishing water-based moisturiser that restores and maintains hydration in the skin. It’s suitable for dry and sensitive skin and can be applied to the entire face, neck, and chest.

Use a Product for Oil-Control

The heat and humidity can cause even the driest skin to look a bit shiny. If you have oily skin or just want to keep the shine at bay, consider an oil control product when the mercury is rising. Medik8 Balance Moisturiser and Glycolic Acid Activator is a lightweight everyday moisturiser that has been further enhanced with all-day oil control to decrease shine and mattify the complexion.

Skip the Foundation

The last thing you want to worry about during a summer heatwave is a thick layer of foundation dripping off your face. Lighten up your makeup by using a multifunctional product such as Evolve Organic Beauty Climate Veil Tinted SPF20. As well as giving you protection from the sun’s harmful rays, the cooling spritz contains mineral light reflecting natural pigments for a luminous dewy finish.

Swap Your Body Butter for Something Lighter

A heavy moisturiser is a good choice for winter months, but during summer it might leave your skin feeling greasy. Switching to a lightweight moisturiser, such as Decleor Tonic Grapefruit Body Firming Cream helps improve skin firmness and elasticity without making you feel shrouded. The skin appears immediately smoothed, soft and supple and feels more toned, while the refreshing grapefruit and floral fragrance invigorates the mind.

Keep Cooling Products in the Fridge

There will be times during the hotter weather, especially if you’ve been busy and on your feet all day, that your legs will feel extra tired and achy. Using a product like Bloom and Blossom Legs Eleven Cooling Leg Serum will help to revitalise tired, aching legs, and if you opt to keep them in the fridge when the weather is at its hottest you’ll get maximum benefits from it. It absorbs into the skin easily and targets the problem instantly thanks to algin, which means that you can use this leg refresher every day and get dressed straight away – no tacky skin here!

A sustainable alternative to the plastic travel cases for toothbrushes, the bamboo cases are completely natural and biodegradable at end of life. It has antibacterial properties and is the best way to keep your toothbrush safe and hygienic while you travel.

This Works Travel Diffuser and Love Sleep Bedroom Blend

That’s why L’Oreal Professional offers a number of different ranges for individual needs. Here are five products from the various collections to help you to choose the right one for you:

The formula reduces damage on the surface of the hair without leaving any residue on the hair shaft, giving you hair which feels healthy and not at all weighed down.

L’Oreal Professionnel Serie Expert Blondifier Gloss Concentrate Treatment

If you have bleached or highlighted hair, you’ll know that some products can leave it looking brassy and unnatural. L’Oreal Professionnel Serie Expert Blondifier Gloss Concentrate Treatment is an intense concentrate treatment for sensitised, bleached and highlighted blonde hair. It helps to smooth the cuticle of the hair to make it instantly look shinier, smoother and stronger. It also strengthens the hair fibre, making it more resistant to avoid hair breakage.

L’Oreal Professionnel Serie Expert Pro Longer Instant Ends Filler Concentrate Treatment

Top to Toe Nourishment from Pure Beauty

There are a number of different things that can leave us feeling depleted, whether that’s a physical or mental feeling. Stress, illness, not eating a balanced diet, even dehydration, can all be contributing factors to feeling drained, and this can have a knock-on effect with your skin. If your skin is lacking nourishment, it could be dry, lacklustre and dull, not just on your face, but your whole body. That’s why we’ve curated a list of five key products which will nourish your skin from top to toe:

Elemis Superfood Midnight Facial

Night creams are perfect for skin which needs a lot of nourishment as they usually have at least eight uninterrupted hours to work. They also don’t have to play nicely with makeup or other cosmetics, so have a richer texture – just like this prebiotic overnight sleeping night cream from Elemis. It contains camu camu and cocoa butter, which are packed with vitamin C and omega 6 and 9 fatty acids to drench the skin in intense hydration and nourishment.

Aromatherapy Associates Inner Strength Nourishing Body Treatment

This body treatment is designed to nourish both your skin and your soul, with a heady mix of aromatherapy oils. It contains mind-decluttering clary sage, fortifying cardamom and focusing frankincense, which will help to focus your mind while the deeply nourishing and moisturising cream works on your skin. It will leave your skin feeling soft and supple while also giving you a mental boost.

Evolve Organic Beauty Bio-Retinol Gold Mask

You don’t have to be going through a massive life event for your skin to feel depleted; sometimes, just getting older is enough to do it. Ageing skin gradually loses the ability to create collagen, which is what keeps the skin looking plumped, and ageing skin also tends to be drier. This mask from Evolve Organic contains a natural retinol-like plant extract from bidens pilosa, that works on the skin to deliver the same rejuvenation and cellular renewal benefits as retinol, but without any irritation. It also contains organic argan oil and rosehip oil to really nourish and moisturise your skin.

SkinCeuticals Emollience

SkinCeuticals have drawn from some of the most potent ingredients in nature to create this moisturising product for very dry and sensitive skin. It contains sesame seed oil, grape seed oil, rosa canina fruit oil, macadamia seed oil and mango seed butter, amongst other things, which combine to create a moisturiser which is deeply nourishing and can be used on the entire neck, face and chest. It restores and maintains skin moisture levels, and absorbs quickly and evenly.

Color Wow Money Masque

If your skin is suffering from a lack of nourishment then there’s a good chance that your hair is, too. That’s where Color Wow Money Masque comes in! This deeply hydrating hair mask, designed to achieve silky, supple, expensive-looking hair and is one of the best loved products among celebrity hair stylists who need to make sure that their clients look perfect. It contains blue sea kale, a mediterranean sea kelp/algae blend and a hydrolyzed vegetable protein complex which penetrates deep into the hair’s cuticle to deliver smooth, glossy hair without the need of heavy moisturisers.
