Madara Active AHA Brightening Peel Mask.

Achieve a brighter and smoother complexion with one application from the easy-to-use Madara Active AHA Brightening Peel Mask. The combination of active ingredients, blended with soothing and hydrating components, this mask is your skin care product to reach for when your skin is looking dull, tired, and with signs of ageing. The AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) included in the mask are formulated from sugary acids, in this product gentle lactic acid is used to work on the skins surface to improve skin tone and texture, while also being able to enhance natural moisturising factors within the skin. Disclosure: I was sent the product free as part of the LoveLula Accredited Blogger Programme, this does not change my thoughts or opinions written in my honest blog posts, i hope u enjoy the read.

The peel mask is your weekly treatment in your skin care routine to effectively remove the dead skin cell layer that is present and will help your other skin care products penetrate and perform better. It is important to remember that when using this product it is to be applied to skin in the evening and also a sunscreen should be worn the following morning, while also avoiding any intense sun exposure like tanning and sun beds. Revealing this fresh layer of skin, i would suggest a broad spectrum sunscreen 50+ that protects you against the two types of UV light which are UVA and UVB rays.

Applying the mask evenly to a clean face and neck, you may notice a slight tingling sensation that can be experienced when using any acid product. Leaving the mask on for at least 3-10 minutes, if you experience any discomfort or a burning sensation you must rinse off immediately and reduce your next application time that is more suited to your skin. I always set a timer on my phone so i never go over the allocated time, but i can also note the time of my own skins tolerance to any product for future applications.

The mask is non-drip and feels lightweight on the skin, while rinsing off with luke-warm-water to remove any traces is easy, before patting the skin dry. Soft and smoother skin is felt after the rinse off and my other skin care products did seem to penetrate quicker after using the mask. I do like to treat the skin after any treatment that has been performed, whether that be with a super hydrating serum, a high emollient moisturiser, or a nourishing and comforting facial oil that your skin will thank you for using. Include the Madara Active AHA Brightening Peel Mask into your skin care routine weekly for an effective at-home skin treatment. X Neil.

The floral hair perfume combines geranium, bergamot, and vanilla to lightly linger the hair with a natural and sweet floral bouquet. Applying to dry hair to refresh your style, if you do not like to wash your every day, is a great tip if time is not on your side in the mornings. You can also apply to damp hair to protect the hair from any heat from your hairdryer, while also applying to dry hair to protect the hair from styling tongs and hair straighteners.  The sulfate and paraben free formula is fragranced with essential oils and the ingredients are listed as follows:

Alcohol Denat - Typically used in some styling products to speed up the drying process.

Cyclomethicone - A popular heat protectant silicone to use in hair care products because it provides that silky feeling without weighing the hair down and does not cause product build-up. 

Isopropyl Myristate - A non-greasy emollient that is used to boost shine and gloss the hair. 

Pelargonium Graveolens Oil - The Geranium essential oil is used to strengthen hair strands.

The spray applicator delivers a fine mist to ensure an even coverage, but u can section and part the hair to make sure all your hair is benefiting. A brush or comb glides through the hair easier and i also noticed that the blow-drying time it usually takes is much quicker! The hair feels soft and smooth, without being weighed down by a ton of product, while frizz has been banished but replaced with a natural looking shine. The Hairy Jayne floral hair perfume with heat protection is your multitasking product to guarantee you more good hair days, rather than bad! X Neil.  

Balm Balm Lavender Hand Balm.

Replenish and protect your hands, when applying the Balm Balm lavender hand balm that contains organically grown ingredients. Dry or chapped hands can occur when lack of moisture is in the air (winter) and this can lead to stripping the skin of its natural protective oils that are present. The other factors that can play a role are chemical based products such as soaps, household cleansers, and anything else your hands come into contact that can strip and impair the skin barrier function.

The Balm Balm lavender hand balm is a balm-to-oil formula that melts from the heat of your skin upon contact. Smoothing onto chapped and dry hands, or any area that needs some care, the light and natural lavender fragrance influences your well-being. The formulation contains 100% organic ingredients to nurture and moisturise the skin restoring balance and relief, these are:

Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) seed oil - Excellent emollient that stops moisture loss from the skin, while being high in vitamin E that protects against UV rays and has anti-ageing benefits.

Butyrospermum parkii (Shea butter) - The emollient and moisturiser that helps to repair any damaged skin and contains allantoin that stops the skin becoming cracked and chapped. 

Cera alba (Beeswax) - Creates a protective layer over the skin to stop moisture loss, while also protecting skin from harmful environmental factors.  

Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil - Helps skin repair and heal by its vitamin B & E content and also has anti-inflammatory and natural antimicrobial properties. 

Lavandula anguvstifolia (lavender) oil - Increases cell turn-over by speeding up the healing process, while also preventing infections from its antimicrobial action. 

Calendula officinalis (calendula) flower extract - Provides excellent moisture to compromised skin, while also soothing many skin conditions and preventing infections because of its antimicrobial action.  

d-Limonene, Geraniol, Linalol - Naturally occurring in essential oils.

The natural hand balm can be applied to your hands before bed for an over night hand treatment or can placed in your bag to be used anytime of the day. Applying to your hands and then wearing gloves will also help the oil based hand treatment to penetrate and soothe the skin with little interaction from other factors. The 60 ml pot will last you many applications because you only need to use a little with each use to relieve, comfort, and protect your hands when purchasing the Balm Balm lavender hand balm. * I received the hand balm in a LoveLula beauty box that delivers natural beauty brands and products to your door every month, depending on your subscription.

Garnier Organic Rich Argan Nourishing Mist.

Nourish and hydrate skin easily with one spritz of the Garnier Organic Rich Argan Nourishing Mist. The fine-spray facial mist contains nourishing organic argan oil known for its many skin benefits, along with anti-inflammatory organic cornflower water that soothes and relieves for sensitive skin types. The formula has no animal derived ingredients or by-products and is certified organic by cosmos organic, certified by the soil association according to the cosmos standard.

The argan is ethically sourced with respect for biodiversity and is organically produced from Morocco. One other great thing is the packaging contains 100% recycled plastic, and once you have finished the product you can then place in your recycle bin or recycle centre to start this journey again. The transparency on the ingredients list is another welcomed addition with 11% of the total ingredients detailed are from organic farming and 99% total the natural origin.

Facial mists are quite versatile in the way they can be used and can easily be fitted into your skin care routine. Spritz over a cleansed skin before applying your serum or moisturiser to lock in moisture and keep skin hydrated. Spray over the skin before makeup to create a hydrated and smooth base that will prime the skin to help your makeup last longer. Dehydrated skin can occur during the day due to the weather or air conditioning etc, but by having a facial mist on hand u can help keep your skin looking hydrated and feeling comfortable.

Holding the spray bottle in your hand and keeping a distance of at least 15 cm away from your face, you can then spray over the skin with your eyes and mouth closed to ensure an even layer. The fine mist veils the skin, while a warm and herbal natural fragrance can be detected but soon disperses and disappears. I was really impressed on how quickly this absorbs into the skin, without leaving the skin feeling sticky and not creating a layer that can interact with other products, which results in that dreadful crumbling and piling off. Skin feels hydrated and perfectly balanced and is a welcomed addition to my skin care routine with a few quick sprays. Find out more about the organic face mist and the other products in the same range over at Garnier Organic.
