The Odylique Superfruit Concentrate Targets Skin Ageing.

Replenish and protect your complexion when easily incorporating the Odylique Superfruit Concentrate into your skincare routine. The multitasking concentrate contains specific ingredients to supply the skin with essential fatty acids, antioxidant vitamins, and replenishing phytosterols that each a play a role to support and improve the skin from the signs of skin ageing. Odylique by Essential Care provide a skincare range for all skin types (even the most sensitive and reactive) by producing scientific formulations that only contain natural actives and organic ingredients, whilst also adding a theraputic element to add to the enjoyable experience each time the products are used. Disclaimer: The links in black are not affiliated and are only used for you to discover the product.
The Odylique Superfruit Concentrate has been tested on sensitive skin volunteers and is never tested on animals, whilst also being vegan-friendly and contains no palm oil. Odylique by Essential Care do not use any synthetic chemicals in their products and there is no ingredient fillers used just to "Bulk Up" the ingredient list that serve no purpose. Utilising just six ingredients for their known skin-loving properties and benefits, i now know why this is called a concentrate because of its pure content. The superfruit concentrate ingredients are:

Persea gratissima fruit oil* - Avocado oil is one of the most beneficial oils to use because it can penetrate the skin easily to deliver its content. Containing vitamins A, D, and E, its rich beta carotene, protein, lecithin, and fatty acid content hydrates the skin whilst also protecting it against harmful UV rays. It also supports collagen and elasticity of the skin and has been known to help with skin inflammation caused by acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

Simmondsia chinensis seed oil* - Jojoba oil penetrates the skin deeply to aid in nourishment of compromised skin and has many properties such as hypoallergenic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial. Hydrating the skin easily, it also protects and calms any skin issue because of its vitamin E and B content that contributes to repairing and protecting once applied.  

Rosa canina fruit extract* - The plant oil Rosehip is known for its emollient and antioxidant properties it can provide because of its skin-nourishing fatty acid content. Protecting carotenoids and vitamin E act as antioxidants to protect the skin cells from oxidation and can help with the overall appearance of the skin. 

Punica granatum seed extract* - Antioxidant Pomegranate provides regenerating properties to the skin to help repair itself and stop further damage by preventing the breakdown of collagen fibres that contribute to sun-damaged and ageing skin. It also has been known to speed up wound healing and has showed to boost the effectiveness of topical sunscreens when applied before.  

Hippophae rhamnoides fruit extract* - Sea Buckthorn is bright orange in colour which gives this serum/oil a good indicator of where you have applied it. Forming a protective layer over the skin to stop water-loss, its omega-7 essential fatty acid helps to keep skin lifted and firmed whilst vitamin C provides antioxidant protection against free radical damage along with the vitamin E that is present. Omega fatty acids and flavonoids play an important role in collagen production and supporting the skin against photo-ageing, hyperpigmentaion, and wrinkles.

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract* - Protecting the skin from free radicals that can damage (UV & Environment) thanks to its antioxidant benefits, it also helps to support collagen and boost elasticity for firmer looking skin. Natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties are also known to help relieve some skin conditions and this ingredient can also help to preserve other ingredients used in the formulation.

*Organically grown/produced (100% of product)
Presented in a glass bottle that presents the concentrate visually, the product can be easily dispensed by pressing the button on the dropper applicator. It is noted that dispensing the product on the back of your hand and then applying to the face/neck is easier because the superfruit concentrate appears to have a runny consistency. The bright colour of orange is present on application but do not be alarmed when applying 2-3 drops over the skin daily or when skin needs a boost because the colour disappears when the oil has been absorbed. I really like how the oil absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling instantly hydrated all day without leaving the skin looking shiny and feeling greasy. The multitasking ways u can use this oil if you are looking for an extra boost for your skin is endless by applying to the skin first,followed by your moisturiser and sunscreen,or if you use water-based products such as serums/moisturisers to apply these first and then apply the concentrate before your chosen sunscreen to boost its effectiveness. The no-added fragrance is also a welcomed addition for skin types that cannot tolerate it and helps it be desirable to apply around the sensitive areas of the face such as the eyes and mouth, The skin appears hydrated and revitalised by the six ingredients that targets skin ageing, add it into your skin care routine for its multitasking benefits that are suitable for all skin types, x Neil.

Applying to freshly washed damp hair, using a comb works great to ensure even coverage to all the hair strands for maximum benefits. You can leave the hair to air-dry or u can use your hair-dryer to create more volume this product creates when applied and helps to style the hair easier. I was impressed on how weightless this leaves the hair but depending on how much u use it might leave the hair a little sticky if you use too much. It does create a perfect base for the hair if you wish to use other products (think of it as a tonic for your hair) such as gels, mousses, hair sprays to hold your style but this does make the hair feel stronger, I also do apply to hair at night for an over-night hair treatment that does not leave any residue on the pillow, but hydrated and healthier looking hair will greet you in the morning. Add the Giovanni Direct Leave In Conditioner into your hair care routine for its infusing beneficial benefits to achieve happier hair days! x Neil.

Altr London Introduce Male Grooming And Cosmetics.

Get to know Altr London, the male grooming and cosmetics company who's innovative products are quickly gaining popularity for their skin-friendly products. The brand was created by Alex Doyle who was looking for products to help with his skin problems, but unfortunately the male market offers very little to help and there are only a few products to select that might not even be suited to your skin type or problem. Altr London present a range that is designed for oilier and blemish prone skin types and only use ingredients that help counteract this by removing excess oil and helping to minimise breakouts, whilst also helping to boost your inner confidence. Read on to discover more....Disclaimer: the links in blue are not affiliated and are only used for to find the products quicker.
Keeping the skin cleansed is essentially important to remove impurities your skin can pick-up throughout the day such as dirt, pollutants, viruses and bacteria. Cleansing the skin in the morning also helps to remove dead skin cells and helps to prepare the skin for any products you wish to apply after. The premium face wash features a natural emulsifier and a coconut derived foaming agent to break down any products or grime on your skin, without stripping it of its essential moisture. In fact the face wash utilises chamomile and aloe vera to calm and soothe any troubled complexion, whilst Acai extract acts as an antioxidant to protect the skin from any free radicals that can contribute to damaged skin. Applying to damp or wet skin, use your fingertips to ensure the product distributes evenly, before washing off to experience a deep cleanse that leaves your complexion looking fresh and hydrated morning and night.
Applying a moisturiser is essential for all skin types to provide hydration, to keep skin balanced, and act as a barrier between your skin and the environment. The many moisturisers available on the market today can sometimes go overboard with their claims of "Hydration" that leaves your skin feeling like its been coated in grease and your waiting for the product to somewhat absorb. The Altr London moisturiser is designed for sensitive and problematic skin that features a combination of active ingredients, but their formulation is perfectly balanced to provide hydration whilst absorbing quickly. The creamy but light formulation contains cocoa butter and witch hazel to offer support to the skin, vitamin E for its antioxidant protection, and the humectant glycerin that keeps skin hydrated by attracting moisture from the air. Applying a small amount to the face and neck, the moisturiser glides over the skin easily dispersing from a cream texture into water, before absorbing quickly with a cooling sensation to leave skin perfectly hydrated with no grease or residue detected!
Finding the right product to correct redness and boost your complexion for a more uniformed skin-tone can be a hard task to complete, some products only provide one benefit and the colour pigment they use in their formulations is nothing close to a human skin tone. The blemish balm is formulated to reduce redness, help with blemishes, and brightens the complexion from one single application because of the ingredients included. Formulated with the multitasking wheatgerm oil that provides the skin with nutritional vitamins, avocado oil delivers antioxidant protection, whilst aloe vera and Bisabolol Racemic soothe and repair unbalanced skin. Applying evenly to the face using your fingers or a beauty blender (It's Entirely Up To You) the blemish balm is quick and easy to use and leaves the skin with a matte finish and a natural believable tint. Available in three shades, light, medium, or bronze, any novice can ace their base with buildable natural coverage.
Conceal and hide imperfections such as pimples, spots, and dark under eye circles when applying this non-drying formulation. The face fix is your go-to product when those pesky imperfections make an appearance (Embrace Your Flaws) and your looking for a skin-friendly confidence boost. Formulated with carnauba wax for emollient properties and a natural glow finish, kaolin helps draw out any clog-poring impurities from that unexpected visitor, whilst the nutrient-rich candelilla wax is well-tolerated by the skin. Applying using your ring ringer you will notice the face fix remind you of a lip balm in texture, but covers up anything u want to hide with a natural looking colour that leaves the skin feeling non-greasy but hydrated. Available in four shades, light, medium, dark, or bronze the travel-friendly face fix is your complexions best friend.
Easily add a sunkissed glow or create an all over bronzed look to the complexion, when applying the easy to use matte bronzing gel. Applying at the end of your skincare regime after sunscreen, you can also use after applying the blemish balm and face fix to bring dimension to the face. Remembering to mimic where the sun naturally hits which are the forehead, nose, cheekbones and jawline, the quick drying formula is mess-free and provides an instant natural look. The bronzing gel is also good to add tone for anyone who has a natural or fake tan because the skin is not just one colour it features either warm, cool, or neutral undertones. You can apply subtly or build the colour up with each application that provides the complexion with a natural looking tint and a matte shine-free finish, x Neil.
