L'Oreal Paris Hydra Genius Liquid Care.

The Hydra Genius packaging is quite eye catching when u spot these sitting on the shelves ready to be purchased.

The 70ml glass pump bottle is an eye catching cool coloured aqua blue, the pump head is more metallic coloured which looks appealing. One pump of the liquid texture melts upon skin contact and glides over your skin with ease. Instantly absorbed without feeling sticky your skin is left soft and smooth but more importantly hydrated! A slight fragrance can be detected but soon subsides, if fragrance bothers your skin then you might not like this. 

I really like the liquid care for one main reason, its not complicated! Its a product you use after your serum and instead of your moisturiser, states the packaging. On those hot summer days when u don't want to be applying too many products to let your skin breathe, this is great, just remember your sunscreen over the top. Cooler weather, this is a step to add into your skincare routine just like it has been inspired by Asian skincare and how they layer skincare products. I have tested a few moisturisers over hydra genius because they have added SPF, that option is there if you still want to use a moisturiser. Hydra Genius Liquid Care being water based really does help it, as its near the beginning of your skincare routine. All water based products should be applied before oil based products as oil can penetrate water but not the other way around. 

L'Oreal Paris Hydra Genius Liquid Care is a product that is great for beginners or for those who want to add something into their skincare routine. X Neil.

Infrared Rays.

Infrared rays make up 50% of the suns spectrum, whereas UVA and UVB represent only 10-15%. Infrared rays can also penetrate far deeper into the skins delicate layers, reaching below the dermis and into the subcutaneous layer, where it can cause irreversible damage to delicate skin tissue. This damage can result in premature ageing of the skin, loss of elasticity and even increase the risk of skin cancer. It is vital that you triple protect your skin so you are protected against the impact of infrared rays during tanning as traditional sun filters offering protection against UVA and UVB rays only may not be enough.

Protect Your Skin.

Wearing a sunscreen can be so easy to include into your skincare routine, by following a few easy rules. Applying a sunscreen to your face should be the last step in your beauty products application and follows after your moisturiser to seal and protect your skin. Some sunscreens can make your moisturiser ball up and flake off, so its important you wait till your face has absorbed your moisturiser before proceeding with your sunscreen.

What i love about ERiiS For Sun is that it works really well with any product applied previously and i have not experienced any disadvantages by using it. Sunscreens can tend to be greasy which can turn your face into a glowing beacon and lead to breakouts if you suffer with oily or combination skin. You can also experience a white or grey cast leading to a skin tone that you do not recognise as your own! ERiiS For Sun is in a pump dispenser bottle that is great to control how much product you actually need to use. The sun protection milk glides over skin with ease thanks to its its light texture and is absorbed into your skin within a few massaging strokes using your fingertips. Not only does this SPF50 sun protection milk protect you from all the suns rays, it also helps to restore your skin and help prevent skin ageing, A must have sun protection for everyone's skin!

Highly perfumed or chemical products can aggravate the skin, making your skin condition feel worse and not improve overtime.

Christian Benedict Shirts Online Shirt Retailer.

Christian Benedict Shirts is an online shirt retailer with a difference; they operate through a recurring service. Customers can opt to have a shirt sent to their desk or door monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly. The service is entirely flexible so customers can skip a delivery, change frequency of delivery and amend their details as often as they like. You can cancel any time.

Shirt selection is really easy, with an e-mail asking a customer to pick his next shirt going out shortly before he is due each delivery. In that e-mail customers can select their preferred shirt by simply clicking on an image of it. Two clicks and they're done. The e-mail also ensures customers don't forget to skip a delivery if they intend to.

With demands on the time of professionals constantly increasing, our service is more than just providing quality shirts. It is also the opportunity for our customers to forget about a small, but fairly boring and inconvenient task, leaving them instead to spend their time on what they enjoy. It is this aspect of our offering that we believe is driving the terrific feedback we're receiving and the great success we're enjoying.

Ordering A Shirt.

Heading over to the Christian Benedict website you will find an easy-to-navigate website, that provides all the information you need and how to get started.
Pressing the "Get Started" button will take you to the first option of how regular would u like a shirt delivered, three options give you the choice of 30, 60 or 90 days with free delivery.

Selecting A Shirt.

Moving on to stage two your presented to select your first shirt from the Christian Benedict core three. Then around two weeks before you're due another shirt, they will send an e-mail showing you their entire range. Within that e-mail you'll be able to pick another shirt by clicking on the appropriate image. The three shirts available which are also 100% cotton are;

1. Light Blue Button Cuff Shirt.
2. White Button Cuff Shirt.
3. Pink Button Cuff Shirt.

Clicking on the image of the shirt of your choice will then take you onto the next stage.

Take Your Measurements.

Using the drop down menus to take your measurements is fairly simple. You can change the measurements anytime once your signed in and if your not happy, Consequently, if you know your measurements for one of our competitors, then a Christian Benedict shirt in that size is likely to fit you as well.  Christian Benedict have a no questions asked returns policy - if you’re not happy with a shirt, you can return it for free.

Don't panic if you do not know your measurements, the size guides will help you achieve that perfect fitting shirt and are really easy to follow to discover your measurements. Discovering your fit is the general size of the shirt and will determine how closely the material hugs your torso.

Christian Benedict generous fit is their 'Regular', whilst they call their medium 'Slim Fit'. 'Extra Slim' size is their smallest size. 

Taking a tape measure and measuring your chest and then your waist, you can then check their size chart guide to see what fit might suit you best - you'll need to know your collar size to start with, as you will want to compare the chest and waist sizes of the appropriate collar size to your own chest and waist measurement. To work out your collar size take a tape measure and hold it flush around your neck, then loosen to allow two fingers to slip in between your neck and the tape. Have a friend tell you what the measurement is or use a mirror. Christian Benedict offer collar sizes starting at 15" and increasing in increments of 0.5" to 17.5", they are hoping to increase this range in the future.

Three separate measurements are needed to work out your sleeve length and you may need some help.

To start, stand with your arm raised at just under right angles to your body. Then bend your arm at the elbow so your hand moves towards your chest. Now ask you friend to measure from the centre of your back to your shoulder and note down the result. Secondly, measure from your shoulder to your elbow, again noting the result. Finally, measure from your elbow to your wrist bone. Add all three results together to get your sleeve length.

Following the size guides really is easy to find out which shirt is suitable and available for you.

Your Details.

The last stage is filling your details into the boxes provided.
Your name and surname, whilst providing an email address and a password to set up a profile on the Christian Benedict website. Once you have completed all the stages you will be ready to receive your brand new shirt, there's no commitment so you can cancel any time and you only pay around the time that you receive each shirt.

What i really like about ordering a shirt from Christian Benedict is the whole process is really easy.
