I was really impressed of the Back2Blonde range and how easy they are to use. Covering dark roots and greys has never been easier to achieve when using these hair care products, whilst they are also helpful to refresh your blonde or ombre colour instantly. Applying the Back2Blonde products to clean, dry/styled hair is the best application as none of the products offer heat protection so these are the last step to use on your hair for best results. Each product is bag friendly for when your travelling or on your holiday helping them be an easy on-the-go root touch up to create healthy beautiful hair that is easily achievable with the help of Back2blonde.

The active ingredients in the Wrinkle Killer Activ+ Professional Facial Treatment. work together boosting your appearance by diminishing fine lines and wrinkles and firming the skin. The treatment penetrates the deeper dermal layers, replenishing moisture and restoring vital nourishment. Syn-Ake is a peptide that mimics the activity of Waglerin 1, a polypeptide that is found in the venom of the Temple Viper Snake.
This active ingredient is capable of reducing wrinkles by inhibiting muscle contractions, and is a globally celebrated active ingredient in the world of anti-ageing. Vitamin E is responsible for a number of complex protective functions within the skin. Published studies have confirmed that Vitamin E assists with increasing the hydration of the skin surface, has anti-inflammatory properties, and protects against damage from free radicals. This works effortlessly in conjunction with active ingredient Castor Oil which is a water binding agent for even deeper hydration of the skin.
The main active ingredients in the SkinChemists Wrinkle Killer Activ+ Professional Facial Treatment formulation are:

1) Syn-Ake, imitating the effects of the venom of a Temple Viper Snake, works to reduce mimic wrinkles by inhibiting muscle contractions to reduce the visibility of signs of skin ageing.

2) Vitamin E has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, aiming to prevent skin damage and protect against environmental aggressors, whilst working to hydrate the skin.

3) Castor Oil acts as a water binding agent, to increase moisture retention in the skin.

The SkinChemists Wrinkle Killer Activ+ Professional Facial Treatment arrives with five glass ampoule's which hold 2ml of the formulation in. Washing hands before applying any facial product to your face, take one ampoule and you will see a white line around the neck of it. Any liquid above the white line is easily moved by tapping gently to make sure all the formulation is at the bottom before opening. Taking a paper towel to wrap around the ampoule will help protect yourself from any accidents from the ampoule shattering, though i have not experienced this as they are fairly easy to open. Lightly snapping the tip off to open the ampoule, you can then proceed to pour the contents in your palm before applying smoothly over a cleansed skin to your face, neck and decollete. It is noted to let the serum rest on your skin for five minutes before patting gently to help the serum fully absorb.
The week long treatment is great to start on a Monday and finish the Friday of the same week, to give your skin a rest for 2 days. You can apply either in the morning for the week or every night followed by your anti-ageing moisturiser. The facial treatment, which feels like a serum, absorbs immediately upon contact with the skin leaving no trace or stickiness. Skin is left instantly smooth and hydrated whilst feeling firm and supple. If your looking for an anti-ageing boost to your skincare regime, the facial treatment is a welcomed addition to be added into your regime and works really well with products applied over it.

A.N Other - Limited Edition Fragrances.

A.N Other are launching Limited Edition Fragrances that not only smell luxurious but are set to take the fragrance market by storm. A. N Other deliver a pure, authentic, and fresh portfolio every year, whilst stripping away layers of costs, bureaucracy, designer labels, celebrities, and puffery.
Empowering their perfumers to unleash their creative drive without having to worry about mundane budgetary constraints, they don’t critique, modify, or tweak the perfumer’s vision and the original fragrance submission.

A.N Other name is a play on words. It represents a new, fresh, and different way. Appropriate for a brand born to rewrite the rules. A. N. Other is also used as a placeholder name. In literature, A.N Other is a placeholder for a contributor whose identity is not yet known.
A.N Other do not rely on clever marketing ploys to make sure you hand over your cash to buy their specific fragrances, the high quality of each fragrance speaks for itself. 
Respecting the artistry and expertise of the perfumers, gives them complete freedom to craft limited edition fragrances that capture the essence of a fleeting moment. 
Everything unnecessary is stripped away from their perfumes - no gender or mood or name - because they would rather hear the stories you create than tell you theirs.
I was sent four fragrances from A.N Other and i was not disappointed, in fact i was impressed of the high quality of each scent and how each one performed. Purchasing any scent, it has to live up to expectations of the wearer from resonating something within that person for them to purchase it. 
The fragrance might remind you of your favourite memory or be a collection of individual notes you have favoured over time. Importantly is how long will a scent last from its initial first spray for you to enjoy and "wear" it. Each one of the A.N Other fragrances lasted all day leaving me to question its comrades (my collection) longevity skills sat on my shelf. The fragrances notes subtly blend to create a unique and luxury fragrance to be meaningful and memorable to you. 

A.N Other chose to portray their perfumers in the most authentic way (Nathalie was filmed at her kitchen), and letting them tell their story freely, without a script, or editing.
Listen to the stories of the creators of the four fragrances;
DAVID APEL - CREATOR OF OR/18 - https://an-other.com/David/
NATHALIE BENAREAU - CREATOR OF FL/18 - https://an-other.com/Nathalie/
CARLOS VIÑALS - CREATOR OF FR/18 - https://an-other.com/Carlos/
PATRICIA BILODEAU - CREATOR OF WD/18 - https://an-other.com/Patricia/
A.N Other will only sell direct to you and put all their resources into creating quality perfumes – no expensive adverts or high end stores. High quality fragrances that you will reach for and admire the perfumers talent that captures your senses each time its used, and you will enjoy to use time and time again for any season or occasion. 
Stay up to date of these limited edition must have fragrances that are launching in America quite soon by visiting A.N Other .
I am NOT AFFILIATED WITH A. N. OTHER® in any manner, or represent the brand, I am just an admirer of fragrances. X Neil.
