Madara Plant Stem Cell Age-Defying Sunscreen SPF 30.

Protect your skin daily and boost your anti-ageing efforts, when incorporating the madara plant stem cell age-defying sunscreen with SPF 30 into your skincare routine. Using a sun protection factor (SPF) protects your skin from the suns radiation, which are in the forms of UVA and UVB rays. The skin is always being exposed to these (even on a cloudy day) and the damaging rays are the culprit for premature skin ageing, skin cancers and eye damage. The skins immediate reaction to over exposure to the sun is sunburn, but your skin can still become damaged over a long period of time if you do not apply protection daily.

It is also important to remember that some products you use in your skincare regime will leave your skin sensitive to sunlight, leading to increased chances of sun damage. All Vitamin A products known as Retinoids, AHA's and BHA's, Benzoyl Peroxide, Hydroquinone, some Essential oils and even your medications can cause your skin to become sun sensitive. The technology in sunscreens has advanced exceptionally well from the thick gloopy cream that was present in the bottles years ago, now there is specific sunscreens just for the face with beneficial ingredients added to suit your skins need. A facial sunscreen has been formulated different from your body sunscreen to cause less irritation and not clog pores, great for acne sufferers.

The madara plant stem cell age-defying sunscreen provides a 360 degree daily protection with added skincare benefits. The formulation boasts certified natural ingredients with cellular biology (the study of the molecular or chemical interactions of biological phenomena) to provide a sunscreen that offers a high level of protection with an invisible, flawless nude skin finish. A high dose of antioxidants shield your skin from pollution due to the patent pending stem cells from northern dragonhead, while also regenerating and protecting the skins microbiome (organisms) present on the skin to keep it healthy and balanced. The key points to remember about the sunscreen are:

• Provides high UVA & UVB protection.
• Shields skin from pollution.
• Enhances the skin microbiome.
• Regenerates skin for improved skin tone.
• Suitable for all skin types.
• Self-Adjusting colour. 

Incorporating a sunscreen into your skincare regime depends on what products you use, to then apply the sunscreen in its order. Serums are applied first, then followed by your moisturiser, for you then to proceed to apply your sunscreen before your primer. You can apply the madara sunscreen onto bare skin as its provides hydration from Aloe Barbadensis, Glycerin, and Hyaluronc Acid, while Rubus Idaeus (raspberry seed oil) moisturises, provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits for the skin. The sun protection comes from the natural mineral ingredient zinc oxide, its purpose is to sit on your skin providing you with the broadest UV protection available. Two iron oxides have also been included in the formulation to add colour, while also offering and contributing to protecting skin from many wavelengths of light.

The easy application of the madara sunscreen is a delight with its tube and long nozzle that gives you the choice of how much to dispense. Do not be scared by the colour, it looks like any BB cream or foundation to help you know where u have applied it, but soon fades to an invisible shade when blended in. I was surprised on how the skin looks and feels hydrated throughout the day without experiencing any high shine or typical greasy feeling, while also helping your complexion look revived because there is no white residue you can experience from typical sunscreens. You can also apply the sunscreen over makeup at any time of the day to maximise your sun protection and refresh your complexion. I experienced no watery eyes, no pilling of products, no breakouts due to clogged pores, but i have found a sunscreen with added skincare benefits that improves your complexion each time its used!

Emani Perfect 10 Primer Serum 30ml.

Achieve a flawless base when incorporating the skincare-meets-primer that is the emani perfect 10 primer serum. Containing 10 powerful organic extracts that work together to transform and improve the texture and tone of your complexion, skin is left looking revived and transformed each time its applied. The many ways you can introduce the serum into your routine is endless and the product still performs outstanding.

The great thing about the primer is it does NOT contain any dimethicone's, a popular ingredient used in primers that forms a layer over the skin to compensate a smooth base. Oily or acne prone skin can see increased breakouts as dimethicone can trap excess sebum and bacteria under its layer, leading to more breakouts and frustration. The perfect 10 is a great alternative for these skin types and you will not experience any flaking or product pilling during and after application, thanks to the skin-benefiting ingredients.

Applying the perfect 10 primer couldn't be easier with the many ways you can use it. You can apply onto bare skin, to then proceed with your makeup application. Mix the serum into your moisturiser or sunscreen, to boost and aid skincare benefits throughout the day. Apply after your skincare products for a flawless foundation application or refresh and revive complexions quickly, midday or evenings. The versatile unisex primer is designed for daily use to offer a solution to problematic skin and to enhance your skins natural beauty.
Emani uses only all-natural ingredients that are beneficial to all skin types. The perfect 10 primer incorporates these key ingredients to hydrate, stimulate, and protect your complexion each time the serum is applied.

• The antioxidant rich aloe vera extract fights free radicals to protect the skin from damage, while encouraging and stimulating new skin tissues. It also soothes, nourishes, and hydrates to replenish the function of the moisture barrier of your skin. 
• Avocado oil prevents damage from UV rays and increases collagen, thanks to its fatty acid, vitamins A, D and E content that protects and moisturises all skin types. 
• Sage leaf extract provides anti-ageing benefits because of its high vitamin A and calcium content, both help with daily cell regeneration to keep skin looking younger and radiant. 
• Loaded with essential fatty acids that are linoleic, oleic, palmitic and steraric, sunflower seed oil tightens and firms skin, while also promoting a smooth soft appearance. 
• Glycerin draws moisture to the skin, while sodium hyaluronate (the salt of hyaluronic acid) has a lower molecule size that can penetrate the skin to replace water loss in the dermis to help with the signs of ageing.
• Cocus nucifera prolongs moisture loss from the skin, while also helping to protect skin from UV rays, other skin benefits are noted to help acne or spot prone skin.   
• Camellia sinensis extract helps prevent damage, while also rejuvenating skin to help with firmness, reducing wrinkles and eliminating sun damage with its potent antioxidant properties.
• Calendula officinalis flower extract helps reduce any skin inflammation, while also stimulating collagen in any healing process.

The grooved lime green bottle fits perfectly in your hand with the pump applicator that dispenses just the right amount you need to use. The directions state to pump out a dime sized amount either to clean fingers or a brush, to then blend evenly from the centre of your face outward. The light consistency of the serum glides over skin easily, before absorbing quickly to leave a hydrated and smooth base. Your complexion looks instantly revived and radiant, leaving skin looking healthy without feeling greasy and looking too shiny. Makeup applies better when your base is perfectly hydrated and primed, which is exactly what the emani perfect 10 primer serum achieves but with added skincare benefits! Add the primer into your skincare regime or apply before application of makeup, the choice is entirely yours to see and feel the benefits each time the serum is applied.

Corpore Sanctum 911 Eye Emergency Cream.

Corpore Sanctum have recently launched their new 911 emergency collection, which features the 911 eye emergency cream from the range. The organic products are cruelty free and vegan friendly, while the British brand is gaining popularity thanks to their unique and trust worthy products. All the products available on their website can easily fit into an existing skincare regime, or u can tailor your own regime from the many choices available.

The anti-ageing 911 eye emergency cream combines specific ingredients to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles and calm down any puffy eyes. Moroccan Argan Oil can be used safely around the eyes to help skin retain moisture, while also improving many skin complaints with its high fatty acid content, Vitamin E and being rich in antioxidants. Hyaluronic acid helps to keep collagen synthesis levels at a high, while also helping skin to retain moisture to plump any fine lines or wrinkles. Green tea extract is known to be a potent antioxidant with skin soothing benefits, while also improving the overall appearance of damaged skin.

Applying any products onto cleansed skin is extremely important for maximum beneficial results. I like to use the cleansing exfoliant with charcoal to remove any impurities, while also gently buffing away any dead skin cells to reveal smoother and brighter skin. The first step is to apply your usual serum, or serums if you layer, as these are typically water based so need to be applied first to be absorbed. You can then proceed to apply your eye cream around the delicate eye area using your ring finger making sure you do not drag the skin. Proceeding to apply your favourite moisturiser, followed by your neck cream, you can then finish your skincare regime with an SPF.

Using morning and night, i was pleasantly surprised with how little you need to use, to feel and see the results. One pump is enough to apply to both eye areas and the light texture helps the eye cream absorb quickly, without leaving any sticky or heavy residue. The eye area looks instantly refreshed, while any eye bags are sent packing due to the tightening sensation and skin is left perfectly smooth, hydrated and plump. Finding an eye cream that can tackle a multitude of sins and also offer anti-ageing benefits, helps this eye cream be the only product you will want to keep applying around your eyes. See the results for yourself, when purchasing from the popular skincare range that works, X Neil.

Martha Jackson - Secret Message Ring.

A gift to that special someone can speak a thousand words, but a ring from the Martha Jackson collection will remind that person everyday with your chosen words. Buying a special gift for someone can be a daunting task if you have explored all avenues and are still left empty handed. Flowers are a nice touch until they fade and need replacing, while scents for him or her have a short life when a new competitor arrives on the scene. Choosing a gift that embodies and reflects your emotions to convey your own personal message has just got easier.

The sterling silver secret message ring is available in two thickness measurements to suit both men and women, while being available in a polished plain band, a polished finish with a hammered effect or a polished finish hammered band with a single diamond set in the middle, to suit the recipients own style. The secret message is engraved in the inside of the ring to make it a personal secret gift, to keep close and to be worn everyday. Picking between six engraving fonts and up to 30 maximum characters, what message would u include?

The possibilities of the message you may want to include are endless, for a couple it could be when u first met, your wedding day or your child's birth date. A friend that needs reminding of how much value their friendship means to you or a family member that can be reminded of how important they are, when the ring is delivered. Adding an affirmation message when buying for yourself is a great tool to use to aid positive thinking and self empowerment, this is why i chose the words "Believe In Yourself". Looking down to your finger, remembering your personalised message, will invoke an emotion anytime of the day.

The excitement when the letter box rattles and the package sits safely on the doormat, would make a lovely surprise for anyone. Placed safely and sitting inside a Martha Jackson gift box, the personalised ring sits patiently waiting to be worn. Perfectly polished to shine bright, the engraving is of the highest quality, thanks to the talented engraver on site that sets to work engraving the minute your order hits his desk. A message card is also included to write any personal message u wish, while also featuring instructions on how to look after the secret message ring.

I was so impressed of the Martha Jackson website because its really easy to navigate around to find your perfect piece of jewellery. Once found, the drop down menus glide you through the process to personalise the piece to your choice, while the checkout process is stress-free and easy. The huge range caters for all tastes, whether your looking for a statement fashion piece or a personalised gift, there is no doubt you or the recipient will be wearing it with love. Use the following discount code BM10 to surprise someone special or add a luxury piece into your own jewellery collection. X Neil. 

Luxury Hair Care THERAPI.

Treat your hair to luxury, salon professional products at an affordable price, by THERAPI. The new and exclusive range has just launched in the UK and is a must-have to take your hair care routine to the next level. The paraben and sulphate free range includes the multi-beneficial ingredient Baobab Oil that is included in every product in their range. The light oil moisturisers and hydrates any hair type, without weighing it down or making hair look greasy, while also offering strength, repair and conditioning for healthier shiny hair.

The THERAPI range consists of a 3-step regime that is easy to follow and offer products that are suitable for your hair and style. The two cleansers, signature or brightening, is your first step to glorious healthy hair. The brightening cleanser is great for enhancing and brightening, while banishing brassiness in blond, white or grey hair. The purple coloured cleanser with blue lupin colour correction technology gently cleanses the hair, when massaging all over for 1-2 minutes. Enriched with Baobab oil, hair is instantly soft throughout the rinsing stage and a beautiful scent uplifts your senses. Purple shampoos can sometimes leave the hair a little dry, but i was so impressed on how well the hair felt moisturised, while also feeling stronger thanks to the keratin amino acids that are included in the formula. Coloured hair can instantly lose its vibrancy, especially if you are using the wrong products, each time the brightening cleanser is applied it prevents colour fade thanks to its sunflower seed technology. 

Moving on to step two there are four choices to choose from, moisturising, repairing, strengthening or volumising. The repairing conditioner targets heat damage and chemically processed hair to offer a solution to any distressed or damaged hair. Strengthening using protein based technology, while also being pH balanced for increased care, the repairing conditioner is a must-have in your hair care regime. Applying to wet hair and leaving for 1-2 minutes to enjoy the luxury scent, hair is transformed throughout the rinsing stage. Restored to its former glory by feeling stronger and perfectly moisturised like you have applied a mask, i highly recommend the product if u colour your hair and use heat styling tools regularly.

Switch up your styling methods in step three by choosing between the volumising spray, smoothing cream, shimmer and shine spray or the matt styler. Use the matt styler, which is suitable for all hair types, to create a mattifying medium hold for your or any hairstyle you wish to create. Applying to damp or dry hair, the beeswax and microcrystalline waxes create texture and matt definition, without any heavy build up you can experience when using styling products. The light lotion instantly moisturisers the hair and is great for applying after the gym, or for those mornings when your in a rush, for a quick long-lasting hold. 

The THERAPI range consists of products you are wanting in your hair care regime. Containing colour lock technology and protecting hair from harmful UV rays, the three products i have used contain the most beneficial ingredients to care for your hair. Paraben and sulphate free, while offering extreme heat protection up to 250°c, all the products are at an affordable price of £9.99. Improve the condition, while lavishing your hair, by checking out the luxury hair care brand that is THERAPI. Receive a free THERAPI candle when buying any two or more THERAPI products from the THERAPI website.
