Zuii Organic Self Tanning Range.

Achieve that sunless tan with a few easy applications of the products from the Zuii Organic self tanning range. The organic formulations only contain nourishing and beneficial ingredients that once applied, your skin will benefit upon contact. The Australian and certified organic brand formulate their amazing beneficial products using real flowers with a blend of plants extracts, essential oils, vitamins and minerals, while the fresh and floral aroma will influence your senses and well-being.
The Zuii Organic flora gradual tan face water is your three-in-one product to tan, hydrate and firm the skin. Apply after cleansing like your usual toner, the colourless water contains active tanning ingredients to give the skin a healthier glow, with out looking orange. Boosting hydration and elasticity within the skin, you are introducing anti-aging and firming benefits into your skincare routine with one easy application. You can apply the water into your hands or onto a cotton pad, to then proceed to massage the water into the face and neck with circular motions. I was impressed in how quickly this absorbs into the skin and leaves a smooth and hydrated base, a skin care product and tanning product that improves and respects the skin, while still delivering a realistic tan.
The Zuii Organic flora self tanning foam delivers an instant sunless tan, without that typical biscuit smell you may experience if you have used sunless tanners before. Available in four shades, the nourishing ingredients hydrate the skin as the tan develops into a deep bronze colour and can be washed off after 2 hours, 6 hours, or reapplied after the first application as you have the control over the shade outcome. Exfoliating the skin before application and not applying any moisturizer will help the tan deliver perfect results because it wont be fighting with any barrier that is left on the skin from products. Using a tanning mitt and applying a few pumps, the tan glides over the skin really easily and does not leave the skin feeling sticky throughout the developing time. Once the tan is rinsed off, it does not look streaky or patchy and skin feels hydrated with a natural looking tan accompanied by a floral aroma.
The Zuii Organic flora dry oil tan extender is a non-greasy lotion that is delivered by a fine mist. Lock in the colour of your tan by lightly misting onto the body, arms, and legs, while then proceeding to massage in circular motions until its absorbed. It also can enhance your tan because it contains active tanning ingredients that build a natural colour, but the other great thing is it hydrates! The application of the dry oil is easy and it is absorbed in the skin quickly, hydrated skin will make your tan look flawless and help it last longer which this certainly achieves!
The certified organic flora self tanning range not only delivers a natural sunless colour, it also contributes and respects the skins natural health. Providing a certified organic, vegan-friendly self tanning range is another appealing point for this great brand, there isn't many brands out there that cater to meet this standard, but you can now enjoy self tanning with natural organic ingredients. Check out the full range from Zuii Organic that are formulated with real flowers, for an enjoyable self tan experience, X Neil.

Black Leopard Skincare For Men.


Provide the skin with naturally derived and scientifically proven ingredients, when applying the black leopard skincare for men. The exclusive range offers affordable products that contain active ingredients that are suitable for all male skin types and the skins different needs. Presented in a stylish black matte packaging and with informative directions on how-to-use, the travel-friendly products from the range can be used wherever you are or go. Disclaimer: The products were sent to me to sample, this does not influence or change my honest opinion written in my blog posts. All links in black are not affiliated and only used for you to find the product quicker.
The black leopard skincare face scrub uses a combination of glycolic acid and black rice to gently remove dead skin cells for an easy exfoliation treatment. Glycolic acid effectively removes the top layer of the skin to reveal a brighter and fresher complexion, while black rice manually sweeps the skin by how much pressure you use. Enriched with antioxidant boosting Centella Asiatica that provides strengthening benefits for the skin, the highly moisturising Aloe Vera and Vitamin E hydrate and replenish the complexion for balanced skin. Applying to damp skin 1-2 times per week, you can also apply to the skin before shaving to lift the hairs for a closer and comfortable shave. The creamy and gritty texture applies to the skin well, before rinsing off to leave the skin feeling smooth and hydrated.
The black leopard skincare 2in1 shave gel cleanser can be applied to the skin before shaving, or for those days when you are not and want a natural cleansing experience. Gliding over the skin easily and preparing the skin for shaving, aloe vera provides a natural smooth barrier to stop unwanted shaving cuts and the dreaded shaving burn. Cleansing and toning properties are fulfilled by the witch hazel present, while lavender and tea tree provide anti-inflammatory benefits to calm and soothe the complexion. Applying to damp skin by dispensing into your hands and then massaging over the face, the cleanser thoroughly cleanses without leaving the skin feeling dry or taut but comfortably hydrated and feeling smooth to the touch.
The black leopard skincare moisturiser is presented in a sealed pump bottle and contains the active ingredients Uplevity, Xpertmoist, and Ion-moist to help nourish and protect the skin. The skin peptide Uplevity fights lack of firmness in the skin by enhancing the elements that maintain collagen levels and the elastin fibres, while Xpertmoist is a molecular film containing active ingredients to moisturise and regenerate the skin, bringing that pleasant feeling when you know u have just used a good product. Ion-moist provides natural hydration particularly beneficial for male skin after shaving because it provides immediate and long-lasting hydration results for quick skin recovery. Applying morning and night to clean skin, the moisturiser glides over the skin easily before absorbing quickly. The complexion feels smooth and looks healthy, without feeling greasy or looking shiny.
The black leopard skincare hair styling cream is suitable for all hair types and is your go-to-product for quick and easy styling. The purple-coloured hair gel (don't worry it doesn't leave your hair purple) creates a moderate hold but doesn't leave your hair looking stiff or feeling crunchy. The essential oil blend with other beneficial ingredients leaves the hair feeling moisturised and conditioned, without weighing the hair down and can be washed out easily. Take your grooming regime to the next level as you could use this gel to hold unruly eye brows in place or to style a moustache and beard.
Black leopard skincare present an affordable range with exclusive formulations that are not only easy to use, but they also provide products that work. Catering for all skin types and not excluding any age range, the Australian brand is a welcomed addition to any gentlemen's grooming routine. Find out more about this range made by men, and discover the products available that are innovative skincare for men, X Neil.

The Organic Pharmacy Retinol Night Serum.

Boost your usual night skin care routine, when incorporating the organic pharmacy retinol night serum that targets uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, while also boosting collagen for elasticity and plumpness. The gold-standard ingredient (Vitamin A) is used widely in many different skincare products because it is proven to work in addressing and improving some skin conditions such as acne, as well as addressing the signs of ageing. Retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A and is known to be the gentler form of retinoic acid, though it is recommended to start at a lower concentration to build the skins tolerance to this wonderful skin care ingredient. Disclaimer: I was sent the product for free because I belong to the LoveLula accredited blogger program, this does not change or influence my opinion expressed in my blog posts.
The organic pharmacy retinol night serum 2.5% includes an encapsulated retinol that protects the molecule from becoming unstable. Retinol used in some formulations can break down when exposed to oxygen and light, this is why sometimes you will find a retinol product either in a metal or air tight packaging to minimise this effect. Encapsulated retinol is a newer technology that protects it from spoilage and keeps your products shelf life to last longer. The other advantage is the retinol is most active when applied to the skin because the encapsulation controls the delivery and provides better penetration through the layers of the skin.
Cleansing the skin efficiently to remove all traces of previously applied products is essential before applying any retinol product to ensure maximum results. The organic pharmacy retinol night serum is presented in a glass serum bottle with an easy-to-use dropper tool for quick dispensing. The label states 93.5% organic ingredients, while the full ingredients featured in the serum are:

Hamamelis Virginiana Water - Functions as skin-conditioning to help with dry or damaged skin, while also restoring suppleness.

Glycerin - Acts as an effective emollient helping to keep skin moist and soft, while also acting as an humectant that draws moisture to the skin.

Sodium Lactate - Naturally occurring humectant that acts as a moisturiser, it is found in the skin and has been to shown to have some skin-lightening effect.

Aqua (Water) - Used in formulations to help penetrate and be absorbed by the skin.

Citrus Grandis Peel Oil - A natural astringent that helps tone and firm the skin, while boosting circulation and detoxifying the skin.

Algin - Obtained from brown algae and known as a marine plant extract, it is used in formulations for texture enhancement and for its antioxidant/emollient benefits.

Retinol - Boosts collagen, speeds up cell turn over, unclogs pores.

Dehydroacetic acid - Used as a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms that can spoil products.

Benzyl Alcohol - Used to help other ingredients penetrate efficiently and help the texture/weight of a formula.

Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan) - A seaweed extract that contributes to healthier skin, while also helping to protect skin from UV rays.

Xanthan Gum - Used in formulations for product texture, while also showing some signs of hydrating the skin.

Lecithin - Restores hydration and helps skin feel smooth by its emollient action.

Gluconolactone - A gentle polyhydroxy acid that offers skin-conditioning benefits by drawing moisture to the skin and stopping moisture loss by forming a barrier.

Sodium Benzoate - A preservative used to keep your product from spoiling.

Sorbic Acid - Protect and prevent growth of microorganisms within the formula.

Limonene - Antioxidant and calming properties for the skin.

Citral - Used in the synthesis of vitamin A, it is also used as a fragrance ingredient.

Linalool - Used as a fragrance ingredient.

Grapefruit Oil - Antioxidant that helps fight free radicals that can cause signs of ageing.

Witch Hazel - Soothes the skin and helps to reduce inflammation, it is also great for oilier skin types because it is an astringent.

Applying one full dropper to the face, neck, and decollete to ensure even coverage, the serum does glide over the skin easily with a light (barely-detectable) citrus scent. It does absorb really quickly so I would suggest on application to apply section-by-section starting from the forehead and working your way down to ensure an even coverage. Skin is left feeling soft and smooth, but I do have to follow up with a gel or a moisturiser for when my skin needs extra hydration. I have noticed my skin-tone looking more refined and my whole complexion looking much more brighter, just don't forget to protect the skin the following morning with a high SPF factor! Find out more about this retinol, your skin may just benefit from it when applying it at night. X Neil.

Procoal Activated Charcoal Exfoliating Face Scrub.

Provide your skin with a natural treatment when applying the Procoal activated charcoal exfoliating facial scrub. Expertly developed in the UK, the formulation contains specific ingredients to remove impurities and awaken the complexion, while still respecting the skins natural health. The cruelty-free skin care product is enriched with natural activated Charcoal, Calendula Oil, Pumice, and Allantoin, while being free from parabens, SLS, Mineral oil and Paraffin. Disclaimer: I was sent the product for free, this does not change my honest opinion written in my blog posts.
The Procoal activated charcoal exfoliating facial scrub sets itself apart from other charcoal and scrub products that are available and present in the scrub category. Typically you will find charcoal skin care products present themselves with a black or grey colour to associate and relate to charcoal ingredient, not the procoal scrub! White in colour, the charcoal beads are wrapped in MCT oil (coconut) and burst open upon contact when rubbing into the skin for a unique and skin-loving experience. Featuring other skin worthy ingredients which are:

Calendula Officinalis Flower Oil - Heals wounds, soothes and relives some skin conditions because of its anti-fungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Allantoin - Effective moisturising ingredient that increases water content of the skin, while also helping to remove dead skin cells for soft, smooth skin.

Glycerin -   A great humectant that draws moisture to the skin and helps to keep it there, while also being suitable for all skin types.
Disclaimer: The link in black is not affiliated and is only used for you to find the product quicker!
Applying to clean damp skin, the creamy and slightly gritty formula disperses over the skin easily, while using gentle circular movements to burst those charcoal beads for an exfoliating treatment. Leaving on the skin for 1-2 minutes to draw out any impurities, you can then wash the face scrub off with your hands or a hot cloth to reveal soft and smoother skin. Incorporating a scrub into your skin care routine is a good product to reach for because old skin cells can make your complexion look dull, uneven in texture, and dry, while also leading to excess oil and clogged pores. The quick and easy treatment should be used gently (your not scrubbing at a work surface its your skin) to reveal a fresher complexion with a smoother and hydrated base. Check out the unique Procoal activated charcoal exfoliating face scrub that respects and provides instant skincare results, X Neil.

The Panasonic Hair Dryer EH-NA98 Review.

Dry and style your hair with ease, while still looking after the integrity of the hair because of the technology the Panasonic hair dryer EH-NA98 arrives with. Beautifully packaged in an informative box, the hair dryer presents itself as a soft matte black with rose gold detailing. Featuring three speeds on the foldable handle, there are also 5 options available on the LED light screen that you can choose from by pressing a button featured below it. The other great feature is the hair dryer features Panasonic's successful nanoe and double mineral technology that penetrates the hair with moisture and tightens the cuticle to keep your hair elastic and healthy, while also helping the hair become stronger against brushing damage and UV rays.
The Panasonic hair dryer EH-NA98 features a quick dry nozzle in its built-design for you to increase your drying time by using the vertical strong and weak airflow's, you can attach the gold-rose set nozzle to the hair dryer to direct the airflow onto certain parts of the hair. Drying your hair partially with a towel and then using your current heat protectant or detangling products to prepare the hair, you are now ready to use the hair dryer.
Featuring Three Speeds:
1 - SET - Gentle Airflow. 2- Dry - Strong Airflow. 3 - Turbo - Very Strong Airflow
The EH-NA98 hair dryer is immediately in hot mode when switched on, but the temperature can be changed to a more comfortable drying experience by using the intelligent temperature control mode, the hair dryer detects the surrounding air temperature around you and changes it to that! Moving the hair dryer around your head and running your fingers through your hair to ensure a distributed drying experience, you can switch the dryer into hot/cold mode when your hair is 90% dry. I must admit i do like the hot/cold mode because the hair is being dried and then set with the cold in a really quick and easy process, while the hair looks shiny and feels smooth thanks to the nanoe and mineral ion technology. A cold option is available if you just want to use consistent cold air and the other options are:
Skin Care Mode - Delivers nano sized moisture ions to the skin when your serum or lotion is applied to keep moisture on the face or body.
Scalp Care Mode -   Helps to ensure the scalp is dry from unwanted moisture, but is perfectly balanced and comfortable.

I have been really impressed with the Panasonic hair dryer and have been using it consistently because of its many features and how it generally helps and improves the hair. It infuses moisture in the hair because the nanoe technology penetrates deeply, breaking down the water molecules, while sealing and closing the hair cuticles for retained moisture, no frizz, and a healthier natural shine. It is also great to achieve different styles such as more volume, a sleek blow-out, or to set and hold the hair in its current style. Overall your locks will be transformed to healthier looking hair and you will be wondering why haven't i used the Panasonic Hair Dryer EH-NA98 before?
