chef's Humm. Banish Odour.

chef’s Humm is the brainchild of East Anglian restaurateur Cameron Marshall who was determined to find a solution to the persistent odour or ‘humm’ that results from working long hours in the kitchen and the inability to get rid of it. He believes he has achieved this by creating his own ‘scent pyramid’ in collaboration with a Yorkshire based soap manufacturer and Hertfordshire based fragrance company.

The two chef’s Humm products are a hand wash cream and a refreshing shower cream that he is confident will be a ‘sweet smelling inspiration and solution’ to professional and amateur chef's alike.
Following a successful 12 week Stability Test and the sign off of a Cosmetic Safety Report, chef’s Humm are aiming to have both these products available in retail outlets soon.

chef’s Humm were so kind to send me the two products and i was pleasantly surprised. The black and yellow packaging sets the products apart from any other products you may own. A flip top lid is present on the 250ml bottles with clear labels stating directions and ingredients. Once open, you can use up to 24 months, but I'm sure you will use all of the product before then, its that good.

Since the Spring of 2015 chef's humm have been developing the ‘scent pyramid’ and working closely with both EFF Group and John Drury to perfect the required fragrance and viscosity for chef's Humm.

chef's Humm are firmly of the belief that the ‘base, middle and top notes’ of the ‘scent pyramid’ combined with industry proven 'malodour' technology will provide a great solution to this scourge of the kitchens whether in hotels, restaurants, bars, cafes and private homes.

chef's Humm hand wash cream features luxurious lemon, basil and mint scent, that u have to smell to believe its lift-mooding power. Applying to wet hands, you only need a little to work into a lather before proceeding to rinse it of thoroughly. Anyone who prepares foods, suffers with sweaty hands or works with odour causing factors, your hands will be left smooth whilst smelling great!

chef's Humm refreshing shower cream features that sweet smelling aroma of lemon, basil and mint.

Applying the shower cream to wet skin and working it into a lather, breathe in to let your senses be taken over from the magical aroma. Skin is left clean whilst also feeling refreshed and awakened whilst any odour has been combated. 

Both products in the chef's Humm range, work extremely well in banishing odour whilst not masking it. Your skin is left looked after and that scent is inoffensive, your want to keep smelling it. I think chef's Humm is a great product not only for chefs but should be a go to product in your household to banish that Humm. Find out more at chef's Humm for exclusive product updates and news.

Turbliss Bioactive Face Mask For Men.

Turbliss products are all natural, skin friendly and harmless to our environment. Turbliss dig, analyse and micronize their peat themselves, to ensure high quality and high level organic acids in all of their products.
Turbliss masks for different types of skin can help clean clogged pores, smooth wrinkles, tone the skin, cure eczema's, efficiently reduce acne, alleviate psoriasis, dermatitis and all in all, make the skin healthier and more vibrant.
After reading this information, this is why i ordered the Turbliss Bioactive Face Mask For Men from ManOrganic to experience the process and results myself.
Face masks are the perfect skincare treatment to help you with your skin concerns. The right face mask can help hydrate, remove excess oils and improve the appearance of your pores. They're also an excellent way to help pull out impurities.

Turbliss - Nordic Peat Cosmetics Peat is by composition completely unique as it contains rare organic acids that work its magic on a cellular level. Turbliss products have a high level of humic, fulvic and hymatomelanic acids that penetrate deep into the skin and help the cells start functioning normally. Which means that the skin is then able to produce more collagen and hyaluronic acid that are the building blocks to healthy looking skin.

All Turbliss peat products are deeply purifying. When used correctly peat never dries the skin; on the contrary, it helps to regulate sebum production and dryness in order to make the skin function as it should. In addition to humic substances, peat contains minerals, lipids, amino acids, enzymes, micro elements, phytonutrients and sulphur. Bioactive substances penetrate deep into the skin, restore its elasticity and normal functioning.

Suitable to use after shaving and as a regular skin treatment. Humic and fulvic acids help boost cell renewal and restore normal functioning of the skin. Mask alleviates signs of psoriasis and eczema, stimulates collagen production, effectively fighting the signs of ageing. Tea tree helps to heal minor cuts and has antiseptic properties. Peppermint refreshes and revives the skin. Suitable for all skin types.

Turbliss Bioactive Face Mask For Men - Ingredients:

Balneological peat**, tea tree distillate, peppermint distillate*, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate *From Organic Farming **From Wild Nature.

A few things to remember before applying the Turbliss Bioactive Face Mask.
When using any peat mask it must be applied onto moist damp skin, whilst avoiding your delicate eye and lip area. IMPORTANT, you must never allow a peat face mask to dry when applied, using a spray bottle to keep the mask moist is a great way to avoid this.
It is also important to remember that peat cannot be mixed with oils or oil based products as oil creates a thin film around humic substance molecules preventing them from working and reacting with your skin, it is best to avoid these products before application and through the rinse off stage.
Taking your finger or spatula, apply a thick layer so you cannot see your skin under the mask will ensure you get the maximum benefits and results.
Setting an alarm on your phone or using a timer guarantees you wont wash the mask off too soon or leave the mask on for too long. You only have to wait ten minutes or for sensitive skin five, to wash the bioactive face mask off with either a damp cloth or using your hands to rinse thoroughly.

Using the Turbliss Bioactive Face Mask, i did experience skin reddening and slight tingling sensation which is normal when using any peat masks. If the skin feels uncomfortable then the duration of use should be reduced to a suitable time for your skin. The reddening and tingling occurs due to the increase of micro-circulation and metabolic stimulation. It should fade within 20 minutes or 1 hour maximum. All Turbliss peat products are deeply purifying which allow the following skin treatments (creams, serums etc.) to work more efficiently.

The Turbliss Bioactive Face Mask is a natural face mask that really works as a multitasking product for your skin. Deep clean pores, improved skin tone with moisture, leaving your skin naturally clean. Some masks are great, but can only remedy one of your skin problems whilst being full of chemicals and alcohol that leave you back to square one with your skin. You can use the bioactive face mask 1-3 times per week, treat your skin to this exceptional face mask and experience a new skin sensation by purchasing the Turbliss Bioactive Face Mask For Men at ManOrganic.

C/S Studio Skincare.

A skincare range that not only is easy to incorporate into your own routine but your conscious can be at ease knowing there is no parabens or sulfates, whilst there is no fillers or petrochemicals.

The skincare range at C/S Studio consists of a charcoal exfoliator, an anti-ageing face serum and a black peel-off face mask. Each product is a great addition to add into your skincare regime or is a great start for beginners. 

An exfoliator is a great product to use to slough off dead skin cells to help keep skin refreshed and bright, whilst also helping for your products to absorb better. Using an exfoliator before shaving can help minimise razor cuts and will help you succeed for a closer shave. C/S Studio charcoal exfoliator not only will help you achieve these points it also will draw out any impurities. The liquorice root will help your skin be brighter, whilst the avocado oil will rejuvenate to ensure elasticity. 

Using a peel-off face mask is a must in any skincare regime to tackle and help any skin problems you may be suffering from. A face mask can help with a number of things depending on what it states it can help you with. Some face masks just add extra moisture whilst refreshing your complexion or others help to draw out impurities to help with acne. C/S Studio black peel off face mask purifies and soothes, thanks to its bamboo activated charcoal that will leave your pores unclogged revealing smoother brighter skin. 

Incorporating any serum into your skincare regime is a great place to start and creates a great base for your skin when applying any other products. Depending on what skin issues you may be suffering its important to choose a serum that will help you with those issues. I was lucky to be sent the C/S Studio Anti Ageing Face Serum with Stem Cell Technology that is situated in skull bottle.

Plant ingredient stem cells have the ability to renew themselves and are widely used in some brands skincare. Applied topically they stimulate growth of more stem cells, regenerating to help your skin be healthy whilst also looking youthful.
The C/S Studio anti-ageing serum ingredients offers your skin the best it deserves, listed below.

Hibiscus Flower Extract.

Hibiscus has a fantastic reputation in skin care because it is a natural source of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs). AHAs are known to be the best face exfoliator for your face, speeding up cell turnover, and helping control acne breakouts, all of which can encourage fresher, younger, and smoother looking skin. They also increase moisture and improve flexibility and elasticity—the reason why hibiscus called the Botox plant.

Apple Fruit Stem Cell Extract.

Contains a high level of Vitamin C, poly phenols and a wide array of trace minerals.

Gotu Kola Stem Cell Extract.

A well known Asian herb traditionally used in the treatment of skin damage as well as for circulatory enhancement. Gotu Kola has been shown to have many healing attributes acting as a general tonic for overall skin and circulatory health. When applied topically it's been shown to speed the healing of damaged tissues and to minimise scarring.

Grape Seed Stem Cell Extract.

One of the ways that grape seed extract benefits the skin is by boosting the development of collagen production. Collagen is a protein that can be found in the connective tissues of the skin. Collagen also helps the skin to stay firm, supple and is the best natural moisturiser . It also helps in the renewal of skin cells.

Roasted Coffee & Vanilla Oils.

The combination of those fragrances bring an heady and sensual touch, It also does good : Vanilla Essential Oil can be attributed to its properties as an antioxidant and aphrodisiac, whereas Coffee oil acts as an antidepressant and an energiser.

The natural masculine scent from C/S Studio anti-ageing serum is unoffensive but very unique, personally i think the scent should be bottled its that good! The serum is near enough clear in colour and applies clear onto your skin. One of the ingredients is aqua (water) so you only need a little for it to glide over your skin, thanks to its consistency. Once applied, it absorbs quite fast and then you can tap your skin with your fingertips to encourage the serum to penetrate deeper. 

I really like how easy it is to use this serum and it does not interact with other products such as a moisturiser and sunscreen. The packaging is eye appealing and definitely would make a statement wherever you keep your products, Find out more by visiting C/S Studio Skincare. X Neil.
