Optrex - Warming Eye Mask - Everyday Eye Care

Optrex the eye care specialists have your eyes health in their best interests by providing products that really do work to provide relief from your eye problems.
Tired, sore and gritty eyes can make you feel uncomfortable at anytime of the day and especially if you have important things to do. Sitting hours in front of a screen, driving to work or long commutes can take its toll on your eyes and stress levels.
The new Warming Eye Mask is a new innovation that can relieve and relax your tired eyes as well as your mind. You can choose between an unscented mask to relieve tired eyes or a scented lavender mask for total tranquillity. The self-heating disposable eye mask with micro steam technology starts to warm up once opened, releasing gentle soothing steam to moisten and soothe your eyes whilst you relax and unwind. The mask starts to reach its optimum temperature between 3-5 minutes and you can wear the mask for 10-20 minutes. 

To further enhance the Eye Mask experience for its consumers, Optrex has joined forces with the renowned sound engineer, techno wizard and former DJ Ash Sargeant to curate a soothing soundtrack.
Sound sorcerer Ash has transformed the mundane, monotonous murmurs heard during the day, such as the tapping of a keyboard, train wheels on a track and taxi horns blaring, into a calming playlist to enhance your me-time and propel you to Cloud Nine.
You can check out the Optrex playlist on YouTube and watch a short documentary showing Ash working his musical magic.
Take yourself to Cloud Nine for 10 minutes with Optrex Warming Eye Mask and accompanying soundtrack:
·         Big Departure

·         Domestic Bliss

·         Reworked

·         Uncoupled

·         The Ride

Using The Optrex Warming Eye Mask.

The Warming Eye Mask are contained in easy to open sachets. Once the sachet is open, the easy to follow instructions will help you unfold the mask and straps, to then proceed placing the mask over closed eyes. The warming eye mask feels comfortable to wear and instantly puts you in a relaxed mood. You can enjoy the warming eye mask before bed, travelling or anytime you feel you need some "Me" time.  After the 20 minutes my eyes felt so much more comfortable and soothed. The mask whilst listening to the playlist is an excellent must-to-do, to give your eyes some love whilst creating a relaxing experience. 
Optrex Warming Eye Mask 2 pack, RRP £3.99 is available at nationwide pharmacies and the Optrex Warming Eye Mask (scented and unscented) 8 pack, RRP £9.99 is available from Boots. Head on over to Optrex to discover more from their range. X Neil.

SAMAYA - Dosha Skincare - Discover Your Dosha.

Achieving balance in our lives is a hard task and when your out of balance, your skincare and other factors can suffer.
SAMAYA offer a new revolutionary dosha skincare range that has seen the brand be shortlisted for best new natural product and packaging design of the year in the beauty awards 2016. 
SAMAYA, based on Ayurvedic principles is perfect for those looking for natural skincare that gives radiant skin as well as helping you to achieve perfect balance and wellbeing. 
"We are used to seeing skincare that combines natural ingredients with effective results – but what about a range that also provides a wellness benefit? Formulated in accordance with Ayurvedic principles, where ingredients are chosen for their ability to pacify and balance particular types of constitutions, SAMAYA is a high performance holistic skincare brand that also aims to help you achieve wellness and the perfect balance in your life….isn’t that just what we need to help combat the hectic modern lifestyles we lead?"

SAMAYA curates the finest authentic elements of Ayurveda, marrying them with clinically proven natural ingredients to provide effective skincare through a relaxing, holistic experience.

The range includes three luxurious products, a rich Hydrating Cleanser, a powerful Anti-Ageing Cream and an indulgent Anti-Ageing Treatment Oil, all of which contribute to healthier, radiant looking skin. Each of the three products boasts a unique aroma that brings calm and serenity through the SAMAYA experience, designed specifically to help balance the individual doshas. 

Botantical ingredients which are free from parabens and synthectics, each range has a unique aroma that brings calm and serenity through the SAMAYA experience.

At the core of Ayurveda lies the concept of achieving harmony between the mind, body, and soul. When these three elements are in balance with each other, you will be able to feel the positive effect on your health and well being, and in the radiance of your skin.

Discover Your Dosha Type.

Discovering your dosha is really important to help find the right products that will help not only your skin but your mind, body and soul. Answering a few questions will establish which dosha type you are and will guide you for using the exact products matched to your dosha category. 

Are you Vata, Pitta or Kapha? Discover Your Dosha!
As you can see from the picture, my test results show that i am Vata-Pitta which is extremely rare to match in both categories.  

What Each Dosha Means? 

VATA:

Energetic and creative in balance, but worried, tired and indecisive when out of balance.

Often slender build and suffers from cold hands and feet. Tends to have delicate dry skin and hair, which may need extra moisturising and nourishment to keep it glowing and healthy.

PITTA:

Well-proportioned and compact build, with a focused mind and love of order.

Confident and passionate, enjoying challenges.

Prone to anger and impatience when out of balance.

Benefits from gentle skincare as skin can be sensitive and irritable, susceptible to wrinkles, sunburn and inflammation.

KAPHA:

Laid back and easy-going with a stable, steady energy level. 

Often has a strong physical frame but can be lethargic or apathetic if out of balance. 

Takes a relaxed, reasonable approach to life and can be compassionate, gentle and kind.

Skin is usually thick and pale, can be radiant and glowing, but with clogged pores or excess oil when out of balance.

I was kindly sent the anti-ageing cream from the PITTA range and was surprised on how good the packaging looks, it sets itself apart from any anti-ageing cream on the market. 

The anti-ageing cream is situated in a pump glass bottle that sits safely upright in its cynlinder tube packaging. On the packaging is a description of the product and how to use, with also the ingredients listed, in case you want to check these.

What is great about the packaging is once you have finished using the cream, you can then pop it back into the tube, and it will be safely stored and out of sunlight until its next use. 

Apply the PITTA anti-ageing cream to cleansed skin morning and night using massaging circular motions. The cream glides over the skin with ease and instantly absorbs leaving your skin soft, supple and cared for. The creams consistency is not heavy at all and is quite light which helps your skin breathe and not feel like you have a product just sitting on your skin. I was surprised at how amazing the anti-ageing cream keeps your skin moisturised throughout the day whilst delivering a healthy glow and a more awake appearance to your skin. Perfect for the winter months where the cold weather combined with central heating can take the moisture out of your skin and your then searching for a product to moisturise and protect. The aroma, jasmine flower extract, when applying the anti-ageing cream is heavenly and instantly boost your mood when applied to your skin. If your looking for a skincare range that not only will nurture and improve your skin but also balance your dosha, head on over to SAMAYA to start you on your journey. X Neil.

I was kindly sent the Refresh and Renew Face Kit to use and review. The products arrive in AA Skincare's classic packaging and you will find the products inside wrapped in tissue paper. A nice addition featured on all AA Skincare products are a brief description of the product, how it works, suitable for and how to use. Ingredients are also listed as well as stating Paraben Free to ease the mind of the user and to assure, you are only using natural ingredients.

The Lavender & Tea Tree cleansing face gel smells wonderful and is suitable for all skin types. Applying to a damp face, work this deep cleansing and toning gel with your fingertips and then proceed to wash off.
Pat your face with a clean towel to dry. My skin felt so soft and clean without it being stripped of moisture. The naturally antiseptic face gel is suitable for acne prone skin, blemishes and other abrasions and is in a pump bottle.

The Rosemary & Olive Deep Cleansing Oil is suitable for all skin types and is a natural effective makeup remover. This incredible non-greasy cleansing oil dissolves all makeup including waterproof mascara, lipstick and eyeliner with its advanced blend of conditioning and cleansing oils that works both underneath and on the surface of the skin.
Massage a small amount all over dry skin and then you can use this cleansing oil in two ways, either washing off with warm water after application or removing it with a hot muslin square to wipe off. 
My skin felt cleansed, nourished and super moisturised whilst the added benefits from using this skin loving cleansing oil is, it also calms any redness and is a soothing tonic for irritated skin.

The Seaweed & Aloe Refreshing Eye Gel is suitable for all skin types and removes makeup whilst soothing and calming tired eyes. Add around the eye area with your fingertips and remove using cotton wool delicately. The rehydration gel which is odourless, is so lovely to use around the eyes with its natural extracts of Eyebright and Cornflower that soothe, whilst the Cucumber hydrates. The refreshing eye gel is great to use after a long day when your eyes have felt the strain of the day or for when this delicate eye area needs some tender loving care! My eye area did feel so much better after i had used this gel so i will be keeping this on hand when my eyes need a pick me up! 

The Neroli & Aloe Moisturising Face Cream is suitable for all skin types - especially good for dry and sensitive types. The non-greasy face cream helps refresh and restore tired skin whilst also providing a mild sunscreen. Natural ingredients Neroli & Aloe will tone and improve skin texture by smoothing wrinkles whilst the added Glycerin will help keep your skin moisturised throughout the day. Lavender also present in this moisturiser provides skin loving anti-inflammatory benefits that will help keep your skin protected, what more could you want from a moisturiser? 
A little of this moisturiser is all you need and glides over skin with ease. Absorbs into skin leaving a smooth base without any residue left on the skin.
Use after cleansing and smooth on face and neck to experience the skin loving ingredients and the earthy aroma this moisturiser possesses.

Belvoir Botanicals - Botanical Drink

Looking around the drink aisle i spotted the Belvoir Botanicals sitting on the supermarket shelf. 
Not knowing about the brand i picked up the botanical drink to see what its about and what they offer.
In Belvoir Botanicals range there are four drinks to choose from, each having there own special niche that their drink will deliver. 
The four choices are:
Skin Support, Refresh, Immune Support and Natural Energy. 
I think the range appeals to every consumer by offering the great four topics a consumer would buy. We are all wanting to feel refreshed after a busy day and wanting our skin to be, the best it can be.

Each bottle has a colour coded label belonging to each one of the topics in the range, i decided to try the "Skin Support" which has a pink label and states mandarin and hibiscus on the front, below the main branding also states with added Goji Berry, Geranium and Vitamin C.
The back label states all the information and nutritional information if you want to know. 
The description on the back states:
"A natural, delicately floral blend of mandarin, Goji Berry, Hibiscus and Geranium with still water."
*Hibiscus contains skin-boosting alkaloids, anthocyanins and quercetin.
*Goji Berries contain carotenoids, known for their anti-ageing properties.
*Geraniums are full of flavonoids and antioxidants for a youthful appearance.
*We've added 15% of your reference intake of Vitamin C, which helps support normal collagen formation.
No added sugar, flavours, artificial sweeteners, colours or preservatives, BPA free bottle.
The Skin Support is a delight to the taste buds and tastes of a high luxury, must have juice drink. 
I put mine in the fridge as i like mine chilled.
Once opened you must refrigerate and consume within 3 days, but they taste so good that once out of the fridge, i drink mine on first opening!

I also picked up the "Refresh" as the description on the front caught my eye as it states "Cucumber and Mint." 
I don't think i have ever tried this combination before so the thought of trying it was the deciding vote to buy it. Also the blue label bottle states with added Milk Thistle, Dandelion and Vitamin C.
The description on the back states:
"Packed with botanical ingredients traditionally used to help you refresh and revitalise."
*The refreshing juice of cucumber is often used for natural hydration.
*Milk Thistle is traditionally used for detox and cleansing.
*Dandelion contains antioxidants commonly used for its liver-cleansing properties.
*And we've added 15% of your reference intake of antioxidant Vitamin C.
The Refresh, is a drink my taste buds have never experienced before, but in a good way! You taste this minty-cool non-acidic juice drink that has a lovely natural taste, that really is highly refreshing. 

Both flavours are a delight to taste and i will for sure, pick up the immune support and natural energy to experience their unique ingredients, i'm sure they will taste just as good! Head on over to Belvoir Botanicals to discover more about their range. X Neil.
