The high-gloss gold tube is certainly eye appealing and the benefit of the pump applicator can stop you from using too much product if u were placing your finger in a jar. You can apply the night cream to a dry clean face or layer over the serum for maximum beneficial results, The cream is light in texture and glides over the skin easily, before absorbing really quickly leaving a soft and smooth base. Skin feels instantly smooth and hydrated without feeling greasy, oily or sticky and the next morning your complexion looks energised with an improved skin-tone each time both products are used night after night. I love how both products are easy to use, can easily fit into a skincare routine, and work excellent under any products that are applied after them if u wish. The products are free from parabens, mineral oils, PEG's and BHT-BHA's but provide skin with the essential ingredients for you to see results.

Nourishing & Smoothing Body Milk.

Applying a body milk to skin is essential to help maintain skins balance of moisture and oiliness. Application of any moisturiser to the body will help deter or combat any skin issues u maybe suffering from such as dry, sensitive or acneic. Body moisturisers have been re-formulated to include certain ingredients, whilst also being suitable for your skin type, so there are many more choices available for you to choose from. The formula's available today not only provide essential benefits to the skin but they can also be applied and feel comfortable, if a product feels sticky or heavy your not going to apply it or use it again.

The Gallinée body milk feeds your skin a blend of firming bogbean and tonifying natural extracts, while helping to protect your microbiome with their patented triple biotic complex combining prebiotics, probiotics and lactic acid. Respecting the skins natural pH, the skin is fairly acidic and your sweat and sebum on the skin forms an acid mantle which has a pH of 4 to 5.5, using products that upset this balance by being too acidic or alkaline can result in some uncomfortable skin conditions. Labels on products are a great way to check if a product is pH balanced and if you are not sure then ask the company who produce it, or put the product down and choose one that states the information on their packaging.

The nourishing and smoothing body milk is a great way to hydrate skin after your shower or bath by applying to damp skin in massaging circular movements. Sealing moisture for a deeply hydrating body treat, you will also stimulate blood circulation and ensure even coverage on application. The pump dispenser on the bottle allows you to choose the right quantity without overuse and wastage of the product that can happen with flip top lids that dispense too much. Applying once or twice daily, the milk glides over the skin easily, before absorbing into the skin quickly, leaving a soft and hydrated base. Light enough to be used in summer, it also can be added to your winter body care routine because it works great under body oils and sunscreens. Purchase the Gallinée body milk to elevate your body care routine and help you feel comfortable within your own skin. X Neil.

Amphora Aromatics Fresh Feet Massage Oil

Treat your feet to a professional at-home treatment, when applying the Amphora Fresh Feet Massage Oil. A blend of pure essential oil of peppermint and tea tree blended in Sweet Almond will uplift and influence your senses, while easing any aches and stresses away. The unique blend also offers antiseptic, anti-fungal, refreshing and deodorising benefits to transform any feet when applied.

Our feet are sometimes often neglected and are the first to feel the stress at anytime of the day. Taking your shoes off and breathing a sigh of relief, have you then proceeded to rub your feet? Treating your feet to a daily or weekly rubdown has been shown to improve circulation, reduce tension and ease some pains you may be experiencing. The feet soles have no sebaceous glands (the glands that produce sebum) helping it to be an ideal place to use essential oils because there is no barrier stopping them.

Essential oils have gained popularity because of their healing and natural beneficial properties they contain and can achieve. Easy to use, while still being cautious to do a patch test (you should with any product) the feet are a less sensitive area then when essential oils are used on the face or other areas. Seeking products that use a carrier oil is to ensure that any essential oils applied topically are comfortable to the skin. It is important to note that dilution with a carrier oil does not dilute the effects of the essential oil in your chosen product. The Amphora Fresh Feet Massage Oil Formulation:
Pure Peppermint Essential Oil - Increases circulation. Purifies skin, Promotes new cell growth. The cooling effect can keep feet feeling refreshed all day.
Tea Tree Essential Oil - Anti-fungal. Natural deodorising. A natural alternative to relieve itching, burning, inflammation and scaling of the feet associated with athletes foot.
Sweet Almond Carrier Oil - Nutrient and mineral rich, applying an oil to feet will reverse dry and cracked heels quicker and is more beneficial than a moisturiser.

Unscrewing the lid off the dark brown bottle, dispense a few drops into your hands to warm the oil a little before application. Start by rubbing the arch of your foot in a clockwise motion using pressure that is comfortable for you and then using the same motion on the balls of your feet. The goal is to relieve tension and any aches on the soles of your feet, before progressing to applying the oil to the dorsal (top) area. Applying circular motions on each toes working your way down to cover the whole of your foot, the scent of peppermint and tea tree influences your senses. I was really impressed on how well the oil performs and depending on how much you use, the oil is non-greasy, mess-free and absorbs quickly. It is important to use only the highest quality oil as the feet will absorb the product, the Amphora Aromatics Fresh Feet Massage Oil does not disappoint! X Neil.
