Presented in a luxury travel bag, dafna's personal skincare summer heroes set features 4 best selling products from their highly popular range. The purify cleanser is an excellent product to purify the skin to help remove the daily grime your skin can pick up, whilst also helping to breakdown make-up and sunscreen. Applying to a dry face and massaging this antioxidant refreshing fusion with circular movements, you can either remove with water or a hot cloth for a cleansing experience your skin will thank you for. Spritzing over the face or saturating a cotton pad, the active mist is essential in keeping skin hydrated and looking refreshed with very little effort, keep this in your bag for on-the go skin care. The moisture + light is your moisturiser that revitalises the skin and uplifts the senses, without feeling heavy or overly greasy on the skin and is perfect for all skin types. The repair & revitalise eye care is your go-to product for eyes in need of a natural rescue, whilst still respecting the delicate eye area with its light formulation that soothes. I have previously blogged about dafna's personal skincare products and this set is great introduction before buying the full sized products available. 
The Madara plum plum lip balm is a lip perfection product to have in your regime for soft and kissable lips. Formulated with only pure ingredients, this lip balm intensively hydrates to nurture the health of your lips because of the jojoba oil, shea butter and plum oil that are featured. Presented in a tube, the lip applicator fits perfectly to the contours of anyone's lips to ensure a perfect application each time you reach for this product. Apply overnight for a heavenly lip treatment, or prime the lips before application of lipstick, however you use it your lips will thank you for applying it! 
Blended primarily from organic and wildcrafted oils, the skin alchemist apothecary sesenne facial elixir does not disappoint. Featured and named "tropical rain forest in a bottle" the formulation contains a blend of 26 skin-loving elements that all play a role to respect and transform your complexion. Warming 4-5 drops in your hands and then pressing over the face and neck, this luxury oil aims to repair, nourish and rejuvenate, whilst calming any sensitive complexions and skin complaints. Facial oils are great to apply in the evening to replenish the skin from the days stresses, whilst if you do use in the mornings remember to apply your sunscreen over the top. I was really impressed on how quickly this oil absorbs into the skin to instantly hydrate and brighten the complexion, whilst the luxury aroma influences your senses and well being for a luxurious at-home skin treatment!
Instantly cleanse skin without over stripping it of its essential moisture, when applying the kathleen natural cleansing lotion morning and night. Featuring 6 active botanical ingredients, this light lotion cleanser is perfect for anyone that doesn't like the heavier or greasier textures of cleansing balms, but this essentially works in the same way. Applying to dry skin and massaging the lotion over the face and neck will help breakdown any heavy sunscreens and makeup, whilst also effectively removing any impurities from pores. Removing the lotion using a hot flannel or muslin cloth will gently exfoliate the skin, whilst this cleansing lotion leaves skin feeling exceptionally fresh and clean, but importantly hydrated! A perfect cleansing lotion that is easy-to use and prepares the skin for your current skin care products!

The Award Winning Face Toner Now In Travel Size.

Take care of your skin's daily needs, when easily placing the new AA Skincare Frankincense & Rose Face Toner in your bag or pocket. The vegan-friendly and 100% natural ingredient formula is a new travel size product launch from the highly popular Frankincense & Rose range that already features a cleansing gel, hydrating face lotion and cream, whilst a deep cleansing face mask is available for a weekly skin treatment at home. Disclaimer: The links in black are not affiliated and are only used for you to find the product quicker.
Presented in a 50ml recyclable pump spray dispenser, the travel size toner is designed for daily use to offer a multitasking treatment for the skin, thanks to its beneficial ingredients included. Refreshing and reviving all complexions from the Damask Rose, the rejuvenating Frankincense soothes skin complaints whilst also helping to boost anti-ageing benefits for mature skin types. Extracts of Honeysuckle and White Willow bark are combined to provide anti-inflammatory actions for sensitive skin types, whilst the anti-oxidant rich Pomegranate provides protection from free radicals that can damage the skin and helps give any complexion a natural boost.
Spraying over the face and swiping away with a cotton pad, the easy-to use toner is designed to prepare the skin for moisturising after using your current facial wash. Toners are great for correcting and balancing the pH of your skin because some cleansers can unbalance the skin leaving it feeling overly stripped and taut. The toner leaves the skin feeling perfectly balanced, you can then proceed to apply your current serum that will absorb better when applied to damp skin from the toner used, or just apply your current moisturiser and sunscreen for a daily complexion boost for soft, calm and rehydrated skin! Pick up the award winning face toner for skincare on the go wherever you are, priced at £3.95, x Neil.

The Eco Cosmetics CC Cream Q10 SPF50 Light Toned.

Achieve a hydrated glowing complexion, whilst colour correcting uneven skin tone, from one application of the eco cosmetics cc cream Q10 SPF50 light toned. Standard CC creams only provide a lightweight cover to hide skin imperfections, without any other beneficial ingredients included. The eco cosmetics cc cream provides lightweight coverage with its light or dark toned formula's, whilst also providing anti-ageing benefits and sun protection, thanks to the Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide and Karanja oil included. Disclaimer: The links in black are not affiliated and are only used for you to find the product quicker.
The eco cosmetics cc cream is presented with informative packaging, whilst the formulation is kept clean by being situated in a sealed tub. Unscrewing the lid off, you will be presented by a press & rub button that will dispense the product out, for you to then to apply using your fingers or a brush. I did like this function as you are only using a little of the product at a time, while also the product is kept clean and sanitary because your not dipping in and out of the whole formula with fingers or makeup tools.
Applying to clean skin, the cc cream is your one stop product that u could use on its own because it fulfils your skin care benefits with triglyceride and sodium hyaluronate for hydration, antioxidant activity from OPC (Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins) grape seed and Q10, whilst zinc oxide and titanium dioxide (mineral sunscreens) are effective in providing protection against the full spectrum of ultraviolet radiation UVA & UVB. Presenting as a fluid in texture, it glides over the skin and blends in easily with a lightweight coverage achieved, though the "light toned" option does present a slight warmth so i would be cautious if you have pale, fair, or a cool toned complexion. I do like how this transforms the skin to appear fresh and dewy, without feeling or looking greasy, whilst the tropical coconut scent that can be detected instantly comforts your wellbeing. Take care of your skins need and appearance when applying the easy-to use light toned cc cream from eco cosmetics, x Neil.

The pH balanced skin glow vitamin C brightening gel serum is presented in a sealed bottle with a pump applicator, while you get an idea of Nature's Kitchen as a brand with the slogan on the informative packaging "From Natures Garden To Natures Kitchen". The first thing that impressed me of this gel is the many ingredients it contains to provide the skin with essential vitamins, amino acids, minerals, proteins and antioxidants that all contribute to a healthier skin and complexion.

Pumping one or two pumps onto the fingertips and then applying to clean skin, the gel texture instantly turns into a serum when applying over the face, before absorbing quickly. The natural scent instantly transports you to a kitchen filled with fresh foods, before lightly disappearing to leave skin feeling smooth and soft to the touch. You can apply a moisturiser and sunscreen over the top, but it is suggested if u are an oilier skin type then just apply your sunscreen. I love how versatile the product is by including everything you want from a skin care product such as hydration, improved skin tone, and anti-ageing benefits, whilst being light enough to use in the summer months and caring for the skin in the winter months. A skin-loving cocktail that you and your skin will love with every application, add the Nature's Kitchen Skin Glow Vitamin C Brightening Gel Serum in your skin care routine, x Neil.
