Gallinée Skin And Microbiome Food Supplement

Featuring 25 billion probiotics, One Gallinée skin and microbiome food supplement capsule is equivalent to 25 probiotic yoghurts. Including probiotics into your daily routine can have its advantages in many ways by helping to bring balance and support to your microbiome to fight off bad bacteria when you have too much. Everyone's microbiome is completely different but it presents itself as microbes that live in and outside of the body such as the gut, mouth, skin, lungs, and urinary tract keeping it healthy and balanced. The main purpose of taking a probiotic is to support the role of the microbiome while also supporting the immune system and controlling inflammation, good bacteria is needed! Let's take a look at what the Gallinée skin microbiome supplement contains - Disclaimer the links used are NOT affiliated and are placed for you to discover the product. 

Full Ingredients: 

Inulin - A soluble fibre found in many plants, it is also a fructan Prebiotic that feeds the good bacteria in the gut.   

Maltodextrin -  Improves the effectiveness, shelf-life, and overall potency of probiotics.

Capsule (Hypromellose) - Produced from cellulose, a natural polymer and fiber, which is considered to be safe for human consumption

Freeze Dried Bacteria Powder - Contains Soy. 

Lactobacillus Rhamnosus - A type of friendly bacteria naturally found in your gut that is a probiotic and can survive within the body while also adhere to and colonize your intestinal walls for optimal health benefits. 

Lactobacillus Casei - Beneficial to your digestive system, this probiotic helps to keep harmful microorganisms under control as well as used to prevent or treat diarrhea and other digestive problems.

Lactobacillus Paracasei - Boosting your immune system, this probiotic can also reduce inflammation and improve your digestion with its good survival within the gastrointestinal tract. 

Lactobacillus Helveticus  - Naturally found in the gut and certain foods, this probiotic helps with gut balance and stability as well as improving oral and mental health. - 

Selenium Enriched Yeast - A form of supplemental selenium, which is also referred to as organic selenium, the body depends on selenium to help produce thyroid hormones and glutathione peroxidases, which are important antioxidants. Selenium also helps the immune system by boosting white blood cells to fight infection and disease. 

Magnesium Stearate - Used as a flow agent in powder formulations to stop ingredients sticking together and the machine that creates the capsules.

Ascorbic Acid (Antioxidant) - Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant in which your body does not produce but supplementing it in your daily lifestyle has its benefits because it can boost immunity while also support growth, development, and repair of all body tissues.

Vitamin B2 - All B vitamins help the body to convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is used to produce energy while also metabolizing fats and protein within the body. The water-soluble vitamin also supports the liver, skin, hair, and eyes for optimal health and is also a great antioxidant that fights against free radicals that can damage cells and DNA.  

Gallinée have changed the capsules to a blue colour but don't worry the formulation is still the same if you are still taking the original ones. It is important to speak to a healthcare professional if you are taking medications before introducing any supplements into your daily lifestyle. I take one easy-to-swallow capsule before a meal with a glass of water each day and even though i follow a balanced diet of fruit, vegetables, pulses, nuts and wholegrains that all feed the healthy bacteria, the Gallinée skin and microbiome food supplement is also helpful in supporting the many tasks the microbiome performs which influences your overall health and then ultimately improves your skin.

Effectively hydrate and nourish the skin when incorporating the two products By Sarah London mentioned in this blogpost into your skincare routine. A compromised skin barrier can be caused by many factors such as using too many active products that can cause irritation, seasonal changes in the weather leading to temperature changes that influence hydration levels, or dehydrated and dry skin types that crave the perfect balance between hydration (water) and nourishment (oil) while also supporting the skins barrier function.

By Sarah London Hero Facial Oil

Nourish and restore the skin when applying the By Sarah London Hero Facial Oil that contains specific plant oils which each have their own beneficial benefit. Applying morning and night, i like to apply any facial oil over damp skin to seal in the moisture present from either your serum or it can be used over the hydrating mist just detailed above. I was pleasantly surprised on how quickly my skin drank this oil up to leave it feeling softer and comforted with a natural glow that doesn't feel or look overly greasy. The formula contains NO essential oils, fillers, water, and no fragrance.

The monthly beauty box features exciting brands and their products that are available from the easy-to navigate LoveLula website, whilst also introducing products to you that you may not be aware of to purchase. The selection of products you receive each month are varied whilst there are many subscription plans available for you to choose from (details at the end of blog post) to enjoy your delivered beauty box. Disclaimer: I received the beauty box free as part of the LoveLula accredited blogger program, this does not influence or change my honest opinions expressed in my blog posts. The links used are not affiliated and are only used for you to discover the products.

What Is Inside The LoveLula Beauty Box December 2021?

The LoveLula beauty box December 2021 arrives in secure recyclable packaging and each product inside is protected by the recyclable filling to keep your products valued at £51.00 in tip-top condition. 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:

Achieve a brighter and smoother complexion with one application from the easy-to-use MÁDARA peel brightening AHA 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 is gentle lactic acid that 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. 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, before rinsing off with luke-warm-water to remove any traces and 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.  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 after using the mask, i would suggest a broad spectrum sunscreen 50+ that protects you against all the spectrums of UV light such as the UVA and UVB rays. Full sized priced at £24.00 and available here: Madara Active AHA Brightening Peel Mask 60ml

Deliver a super dose of multi-molecular hyaluronic acid when applying the MÁDARA time miracle hydra firm hyaluron concentrate jelly to the skin morning and night. The unisex and oil-free hydra jelly instantly satisfies dry and thirsty skin types by locking in essential moisture and reducing transepidermal water loss for an improved moisture balance. Dermatologically tested and being vegan-friendly, MÁDARA pride themselves on only using natural and organic ingredients in their products which are created in Latvia and are backed-up with scientific research with all products being dermatologically tested and being certified by Ecocert. Presented in clear packaging (great to see how much product there is) you squeeze the tube to dispense the perfect amount upon application on to clean skin. The gel hydratant glides over the skin easily feeling instantly refreshing and extremely lightweight, perfect for all skin types including problematic because it is non-clogging helping it be pore friendly, the multi-tasking ways you can apply it is entirely up to you - 

Day:

Apply as your usual serum followed by your moisturiser and current SPF.

Apply before your current serum as a priming step for an extra boost of hydration.

Night:

Apply before your night serum or moisturiser for an extra boost of hydration and care.

Other Applications:

Apply as an aftershave product and before sunscreen application for a hydrated and smooth base, whilst it is an ideal product to apply when using facial rollers and performing the Gua Sha technique. The travel friendly packaging is the perfect excuse to take this product with you because your skin will reap the benefits when applying anytime of the year. Full sized priced at £30.00 and available here: Madara time miracle hydra firm hyaluron concentrate jelly

Enjoy the natural castile soap with lemongrass essential oil that is in liquid form and easy to dispense and apply. Presented in a clear bottle to always check how much you have left, you can easily transform the soap into a lather while taking a deep breathe to enjoy the refreshing essential oil aroma. The organic base with natural vegetable oils is an hypo-allergenic alternative option to offer a cleansing experience without stripping the skin of its essential moisture when used in the shower or bath. The essential oil contained is not being left on the skin for a longer period of time but instead is being washed off, but its always best to perform a patch test if you do have sensitive or reactive skin. Dispensing into damp hands, the nourishing formula builds a rich lather that leaves the skin feeling revived, whether your just washing your hands or your entire body, the multi-tasking product can also mixed with other ingredients to make your own household cleaner, dishwashing liquid, or even deodorant. It does state to keep the product out of the eyes but this multi-purpose natural castile soap has many possibilities to suit your needs and how u choose to use it. Priced at £8.00 and available here: The Castilian Soap Company - Castilian Soap Rosemary 250ml

Facial oils are ideal for those who want to restore moisture by preventing moisture loss while also delivering benefits to the skin depending on the ingredients the formula contains. The balm balm frankincense light facial oil combines nourishing emollient oils of Prunus armeniaca kernel oil, oenothera biennis oil, simmondsia chinensis seed oil, and rosa canina fruit oil that all have antioxidant benefits with oleic acid and linoleic acid which are both beneficial fatty acids for the skin. The other two oils included are boswelia carterii oil (Frankincense) and citrus grandis (grapefruit) peel oil that are essential oils that provide the earthy and slight citrus scent to the facial oil. Essential oils can have some benefits such as the frankincense having anti-inflammatory while citrus grandis (grapefruit) peel oil has astringent and detoxifying properties, the trouble is they can become volatile because fragrance ingredients like limonene, citronellol, eugenol, and linalool are all present in many essential oils that can sensitise the skin. I do like how light in texture the facial oil is and this helps it to absorb quicker without leaving the skin feeling greasy, so if you are someone who uses products containing essential oils im sure you will love using this facial oil in your skincare routine. Priced at £15.50 and available here: Balm Balm Frankincense Light Facial Oil 30ml

Cleanse the skin and hair when using the PHB's 2-in-1 shampoo and body wash that combines humectants and emollients for the perfect balance of hydration and nourishment. Utilising mild surfactants/cleansers that form and build the foam of a product without stripping it of its moisture, it also contains aloe vera, glycerin, and also combines avena sativa with argan oil for that extra boost of skin and hair comfort. Massaging into damp hair and all over the body, the runny consistency means you only need a little with each application because a little goes a long way. It does not contain essential oils or artificial fragrance and i was pleasantly surprised on how perfectly balanced it performs because some 2-in-1 products fail to suit their multi-purpose claims. It also works great when applied to an exfoliation glove to lightly buff over the body for super soft skin with that extra nourishment this wash delivers while also soothing any irritated and dry scalp. Priced at £12.00 and available here: PHB Ethical Beauty - 2-in-1 Shampoo & Body Wash 300ml

4 Beauty Tips For Your First Date

 4 Beauty Tips For Your First Date

A first date is usually exhilarating and might sometimes give you the shivers – in a good way. You want to look your best and dazzle, but you also don’t want to go overboard with your beauty regime. Don’t experiment with new cosmetics or hairstyles that will simply make you feel uneasy. Put on a scent that makes you feel confident, and go for a stylish and appealing look. Here is some great beauty advice for that all-important first date to help you understand what you do – and don’t – need to do.

Glowing Skin

It makes no difference whether you use foundation or not; it’s acceptable to do anything you want with your skincare regimen. However, you should always start with a clean face.

If you want plumped, smooth, and radiant skin, use a hyaluronic acid serum or cream (HA). It is fantastic for imparting a beautiful glow to all skin types while also helping your complexion to maintain a good moisture balance.

Because of its remarkable capacity to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, HA is an excellent skincare component. It gives your face features a natural fullness and your complexion an extraordinary brightness.

Remember, if you’re nervous, your skin will show it – you might be sweaty or have dry skin, for example. You won’t look too healthy. So if you are feeling the nerves, calm yourself by spending some time gathering your thoughts. Listen to music, meditate, visit your favorite website and place a bet on a sporting game at https://sportnews.in/, or whatever else is going to calm your nerves and give you your healthy glow back once more. 

Kissable Lips

Many people on the dating scene believe that your smile is important, and that includes having smooth, hydrated lips, and the last thing you want is to greet your date with chapped or dry lips. As a result, the best lip balms and treatments have been created to softly penetrate and lock in moisture.

You'll look lovely with your soft, velvety, kissable lips. To give your smile a true shine, use a specially formulated whitening toothpaste to whiten your teeth. This toothpaste should be dentist-recommended and is designed to whiten teeth by removing tough, set-in stains that have collected over time.

Exceptional Foundation

If you want to use foundation as a basis for your makeup, don’t miss this step. Professional makeup artists recommend using a gentle touch to level out your skin tone and conceal any blemishes, red spots, and so on. Then, to set your foundation, use a finishing powder. To get a comparable appearance with a balanced skin tone, some people opt to use a tinted moisturizer instead of foundation.

As we’ve said, it’s not absolutely essential to use foundation, but if you’re feeling nervous and want an extra layer of confidence, foundation can be exactly what works best for you. 

Add A Little Blush

Having a slight flush on the cheeks is both romantic and delicate. Apply a matte blush on the top of your cheeks. Blend up and to the side using a lifting technique. Or try a creamy blush for a lovely, natural look. These textures, by the way, are appropriate for oily or combination skin. On the first date, it’s best to adhere to all-natural makeup ideas, and a good blush will help you do this. Remember to match the blush to the lipstick color you’re wearing, and you’ll look wonderful. 

Beauty comes from within so don't forget to be yourself, have fun, and enjoy your time on your first date x Neil.

Saach Organics Haircare.

Saach Organics haircare products easily cater to and for your hairs needs by simply selecting the following shampoo's which are: hair strengthening, colour protect, repair and revitalising, whilst pairing any shampoo with the hair nourishment conditioner available. The shampoo's effectively cleanse the hair by using 100% vegetable origin and biodegradable mild cleansing agents that create a foam when lathering but without stripping the hair of its moisture. Ceramides are also included to promote elasticity and moisture retention to improve and prevent breakage whilst also helping to keep the cuticle of the hair strand flat to boost shine and smoothness. In keeping with Ayurveda traditions, *Sapindus Triolatus fruit powder (Ritha), *Emblica Officinalis fruit powder (Amla),* Acacia Cocinna Fruit Powder (Shikakai), and *Lawsonia Innermis (Henna) are also included to support the scalp and health of the hair.

Hair Strengthening Shampoo by Saach Organics.

Presented in a squeezable tube with the red colour display on the front, the strengthening shampoo contains basil and peppermint to increase circulation of the scalp by stimulating it. I reach for this shampoo when im wanting a cleaner and refreshed scalp but also an effective cleanser to remove build-up from hair products and pollutants your hair can pick up during the day. The smell is heavenly and while it does help in making the hair feel stronger which is ideal if you have been over using heat tools for styling, it does not feel stripped or overly cleansed of its essential moisture because hydrated and clean feeling hair will greet you!

Repair & Revitalizing Shampoo by Saach Organics.

Presented in a squeezable tube with the yellow colour display on the front, the repair & revitalising shampoo incorporates tea tree, rosemary oil, and lemon oil that all work together to relieve scalp irritations and dandruff. Typically using an anti-dandruff shampoo will help to restore balance to the scalp whilst also preventing flare-ups of dandruff, but some formulas i have used do tend to overly strip the hair of its essential moisture when cleansing. The refreshing scent instantly awakens the senses and what i love about this shampoo is not only does it effectively cleanse and soothe the scalp but it also leaves the hair feeling moisturised even before any conditioner is applied!  

Colour Protect Shampoo by Saach Organics.

Presented in a squeezable tube with the teal colour display on the front, the colour protect shampoo utilises orange oil that infuses the hair with moisture and vitamins that transforms dry brittle strands while the Lawsonia Innermis (Henna) conditions, strengthens, and can also protect the hair from UV damage. Typically colour protect shampoos are much gentler on the hair to pro-long your chosen shade or tone while also aiding in the hairs health to boost condition and shine. The shampoo gently lathers to cleanse the hair while you will notice that the hair transforms through the rinsing stage to feel soft and hydrated while enhancing your hair color, a gentle but effective shampoo for colour-treated hair!

Hair Nourishment Conditioner by Saach Organics.

Presented in a squeezable tube with the pink colour display on the front, the hair nourishment conditioner features a host of nourishing and conditioning oils to nurture every strand. The emollient and milky texture of the formula contains jojoba seed oil, vegetable oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, babassu oil, brazil nut oil and primrose oil that all work in synergy together to condition and seal in moisture for improvement in the hairs health. I was really impressed on how little you need when applying after using one of the shampoos mentioned above, in fact it glides through the hair so easily and rinses away to leave hair feeling nourished without any weigh-down. A great conditioner that nourishes, conditions and strengthens the hair each time it is used in your haircare routine. 

Mint & Rosemary Shower Gel by Saach Organics.

Saach Organics don't just provide brilliant haircare products, they also have other products available to help restore and revitalise with their innovative formulas. The mint & rosemary shower gel utilises 100% vegetable origin and biodegradable mild cleansing agents that create a foam when lathering but without stripping the skin of its essential moisture. The formula also contains niacinamide (Vitamin B3) that provides anti-inflammatory benefits while also supporting the skins barrier function and improving some skin condition's. Applying to damp skin, the gel gently works itself into a skin-conditioning lather while the spearmint and rosemary oil instantly influences your well-being and soothes any aching muscles. I was really impressed on not only its cleansing abilities but also leaving the skin feeling smooth and nourished, an important factor to consider when using any shower gel!

The aromatic cedarwood reminds you of the outdoors with its warm and woody profile while working in perfect combination is patchouli with its sweet, spicy, and earthy notes to bring a sense of calm and peace throughout the evening when lighting this candle. 

Lucky Cloud Skincare Natural Candles Restore And Peace.

I was really impressed with the re-usable packaging but also of the high quality scent both candles provide with an approximately 40 hrs burn time each. It is important to remember to never leave a burning candle unattended and do not burn on or near anything that can catch fire whilst also keeping out of reach of children and pets. The candles would make a lovely gift for someone or a lovely treat for yourself because they work really well to influence your wellbeing and the slight crackling of the natural wooden wick also adds to the experience. Priced at £23.00 each both Lucky Cloud Skincare candles are available here: Lucky Cloud Skincare Restore Natural Candle and Lucky Cloud Skincare Peace Natural Candle x Neil.
