Una Brennan The Super Facialist Vitamin C + daily polish wash review

I am ALL about fresh glowing skin and and when I saw this in TK Maxx at the delicious price of £6 I had to have it. I am actually kicking myself for not stocking up on more after giving loads away as Christmas stocking fillers!

125ml container

The Super Facialist range was created by skincare specialist and guru Úna Brennan who has been in the industry arena for over 17 years- yonks!

Skin genie Úna , has formulated a range of products based on her knowledge . Honed over the years, to formulate products that are aimed at leaving the skin with a healthy, bright and glowing complexion.

I have been using the micro polish for just under 2 months now and can definitely see that my skin is brighter and so much more even toned.

The smell is super invigorating and very fresh. It definitely wakes up the senses in the morning. The directions suggests that it can be used daily but in this colder weather for me 3 times a week is plenty. The polish isn't abrasive and left my skin feeling incredibly soft. A little goes a long way and I have just under half left with everyday use!

super fine micro polish texture

Although this product is for anti-ageing my main focus is brightening my skin. So for me seeing that the product contains vitamins C and E, which help to give the skin a boost is key to giving me a natural glow.

I have to admit that this is up there with the more 'holy grail' and fares well against expensive facial exfoliators that have been used, so I am looking forward to keeping it as a regular part of my daily routine.

I would highly recommend this just for the silky smoothness of your face after an application alone. 

I really enjoy waking up to apply this in the morning and can't wait to try other products from her other  ranges.

The Super Facialist range can be found in Boots or the Super Facialist website.

P.S this can also be used as a mild lip exfoliator if a sugar scrub is too abrasive for you.

Ello Aloe vera! - Aloe & Seaweed Gel Skin Hydration Gel

 Hi guys,

I am a big fan of Aloe, whether it is being used internally or externally.

I have always been aware of its magically properties as my Mum is into Homoeopathy and a Aloe plant called Tim lived on our piano for many years (yeh good old Tim lol).

Aloe & Seaweed Gel - Skin Hydration Gel £5

 

I ordered this Aloe and seaweed hydration gel from Naturallythinking (one of my fav natural product places atm, I have spent a silly amount of money on their products) a few months back and I totally adore it. I have been a little lax with my skincare lately what with work etc. This has really been a saviour. My skin instantly feels refreshed and plump.

Colour and consistency

I took a few weeks to try and see what was the best fit for my skin and routine. I also find this is the best way to really give a product time to perform. I have been using this mainly at night as I find in the morning my face feels a little sweatier after the morning commute with this on (London Overground urrggh!).

After cleansing and  toning (I have been making my own toner!) I either use it by itself or mixed in with a drop of my homemade face oil elixir and Superdrug Naturally Radiant 2 in 1 Moisturiser & Serum

if I feel I need extra ommph.

 

Product information:

Price: £5

Suitability: All skin types

Main ingredients: Aloe Vera and Seaweed

Size:120ml 

Contains: Aqua (Water), Glycerine (Veg), Phenoxyethanol & Ethylhexylglycerin, Carbomer, Fucus vesiculosis (Seaweed) Extract, Polysorbate 20, Aloe barbadensis (Aloe vera) Leaf Powder

Overall this has been an amazing addition to my facial routines. The price is very resonable and considering that it is vegan, has anti-oxidents and doesnt contain parabens I will definitely continue to use it. 

Have you tried Aloe vera in your skin routine?
