How To Use The Madara SOS Hydra Intense Rose Jelly.

Applying the gel hydrant to clean skin every morning and evening is made easy by the pump dispenser while you can follow on with your typical moisturiser over the top or just apply your chosen SPF over it in the morning. I love how it applies perfectly on the skin and dries down to leave skin perfectly balanced and hydrated while it does NOT pill or flake off because there are no silicones in the formula. 

I love the Madara time miracle hydra firm hyaluron concentrate jelly that i previously blogged about but when your wanting to calm and soothe stressed-out complexions the SOS Hydra Intense Rose Jelly is an ideal product to reach for and apply. The Madara SOS Hydra Intense Rose Jelly 75ml is priced at £29.95 and available from here: Madara SOS Hydra Intense Rose Jelly x Neil.

The printed card inside details all the products included whilst also including a voucher code that can be redeemed if you would like to purchase any products from the brands included. The products featured are as follows:

Re-balance and refresh the complexion when spritzing the Teree Verdi Balancing Mist over the skin after cleansing. The alcohol-free Rosa damascena (rose) floral water produces a relaxing scent while also containing antioxidants and antimicrobial properties to and for the skin. I really like how the spray head delivers the perfect mist to either apply to a cotton pad and sweep over the skin or just spritz over the skin to refresh and rebalance through out the day, anytime you need it. Floral waters or hydrosols are diluted versions of essential oils so i would avoid if you have sensitive skin and cannot tolerate fragrance as these contain fragrant components.

Nourish and support the skin when applying the Ooh! Oils Of Heaven Blackcurrant Oil that contains polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. Possessing anti-inflammatory properties because of the linoleic and stearidonic acids it contains, it is particularly beneficial to help with irritated skin types as well as acne prone and sensitive skin. Applying a few drops to a cleansed skin to the face and neck the oil instantly absorbs to leave the skin feeling perfectly nourished without feeling or looking greasy. You can apply a few drops into your moisturiser or after (but before your sunscreen) while also this skin-supporting oil can be applied to the body as a little amount goes along way,

Help skin retain moisture while also nourishing when applying the Butterwhips Warmly Relaxing whipped body butter. The highly emollient body product contains shea butter with oils of almond and sunflower with added tocopherol to keep the skin soft, smooth and nourished. Suitable for 12yrs+ the 97% organic body butter needs to be warmed between your hands before spreading over the body, i like to apply to damp skin after a shower or bath to seal in the moisture on the skins surface. The warm comforting bergamot with the calming lavender is a perfect antidote to calm the body and mind in the evening, prepping for a restful nights sleep.

Enhance the lips and cheeks with a fresh touch of colour when applying the Inika Lip & Cheek Cream in Dust. The cream itself is an oil based product from the emollient Carnauba Wax and sweet almond oil used for you to apply the product easily and help spread-ability. The tin oxide, mica and titanium dioxide are used to help achieve an effective pigment result while the colour is achieved by the iron oxides included. The soft and subtle pink colour of dust is buildable to apply either to bare skin or over your foundation and is suitable for all skin tones because it perfectly achieves a natural flush every skin tone has.

Application Of The Weleda Skin Food Body Butter.

Presented in a green jar made of 85% recycled glass, you can easily access the product by twisting off the cap before applying. The first thing i was surprised about is the texture as typically body butters are usually solid and you have to warm the product up before applying, not this one! The creamy texture instantly feels comforting when massaging into the skin while those rich emollient butters with the fragranced aromatic Lavender and Orange add to the intensive skin nourishment you will experience. I would suggest to only apply a little (a tiny amount goes a long way) with applications as even though it states being non-greasy if you apply too much you might slightly feel oily, but i was quite impressed on the long-lasting nourishment that helps to condition and moisturise the skin wherever you choose to apply. The Weleda Skin Food Body Butter is priced at £19,75 and available here: Weleda Skin Food Body Butter x Neil.   

Louis Varel Extreme Rose EDP 100ml.

The Louis Varel Extreme Rose Eau de Parfum 100ml. 

Featured from the Louis Varel oriental collection, the extreme rose presents itself as a unisex sweet-oriental Eau de Parfum. Beautifully housed in a white heavy bottle, the roses are mixed with toffee and vanilla while also incorporating other specific notes to give this scent its unique scent profile, read on to discover more. Disclaimer: The links used are not affiliated and are placed for you to discover the product at the end of the blog post. 

Rose scents have somewhat been categorised to be just as they state "floral" with also their appeal being targeted to a mature audience, which i think do them an injustice. It is great to see more rose scents arriving on the scent scene that involve much more than their title or name might suggest while also seeing them appeal to a broader audience thanks to the perfumers who have re-invented rose perfumes.  

Louis Varel Extreme Rose EDP 100ml Scent Profile Features: 

Top Notes: Orange, Lemon & Toffee

Mid Notes: Rose, Patchouli oil & White Wood

Base Notes: Amber & Vanilla

Spraying onto the pulse points of the body will allow any perfume to project further because these areas are warmer, but extreme rose does not disappoint as from the first spray it lets you know immediately of its arrival and is still around you 5-6 hours later, longer when sprayed on clothes. Opening with the refreshing citrus notes of orange and lemon, the sugary sweet toffee note also included is the start of its unique journey. You will start to notice the powdery rose arrive while the sweet and dark patchouli oil and white wood provide the depth and character that any scent needs to make it unique. The amber and vanilla brings a warm and comforting undercurrent sweetness throughout the scent without it being nauseating or inducing a headache, the Louis Varel Extreme Rose EDP 100ML can be worn any season of the year and for any occasion. Discover the collection here: Louis Varel and available to purchase from Superdrug: Louis Varel Extreme Rose EDP 100ml  x Neil.

The treatment oil is suitable for combination, dry and mature skin types while the full ingredients are as follows:

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil - Derived from almonds, the emollient oil features fatty acids and antioxidants vitamins E and B to nourish and soften.
