Perfect Christmas Pampering

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are well & had a good weekend & start to the working week.

I literally cannot believe how quick Christmas is now coming round. Or is that just me? The lead up to christmas always goes so fast. You start the your advent calendar & thats it.

One of the things that I think most people forget over Christmas is to take time out for themselves & have a little pamper session. Because let's face it there is always so much to prepare for when it comes to Christmas. Sometimes you need some time to unwind & de-stress. Not only that but we all need that bit of TLC that you deserve.

So here are some of my top Christmas pamper goodies for that night in to cosy up & watch you favourite christmas movie:

Clipper Tea
What better to have on a night in than tea! 
Clipper tea is a UK brand founded in Dorset in 1984. They were also the first UK company to create fair trade tea. All of their products are natural even down to the actual tea bags material. Most tea bags are bleached to make them the pearly white colour that they are but not Clipper's tea bags. Which is why you may notice they are not the perfect white colour. Clipper sell not only different tea's ranging from Green Tea, everyday tea, white tea, coffee, hot chocolate & other hot drinks. I have recently been trying to be a bit of a health geek so I have tried the organic pure green tea. They come in cute tea tea caddies with clip to keep them fresh. They are the perfect gift for any tea lover!

Pretty Animalz By MasqueBAR
What perfect way to get into the christmas spirit than a Christmas themed printed face sheet mask. I literally love face sheet masks. Simply because they are so easy to apply & are great to have on while you are watching a film. MasqueBAR have come up with these cute christmas animal designs on theirs. You can choose from: 

*Penguin - Helps to nourish & hydrate the skin.
*Polar Bear - Helps hydrate, calm & soothe the skin.
*Reindeer - Helps to nourish & condition the skin.

So there is a cute mask for everyone! I actually adore these!
They are available online at Asos, Feel Unique or at the House of Fraser.

Face Mask Duo 
As the name reads this face mask comes as a duo so you can choose from:

Option 1: Before the party - Dead sea purifying clay mask which helps to deeply cleanse to the skin & After the party which is a Manuka honey peel off mask which helps to nourish & moisturise the skin.

Option 2: Before the party - Super fruits Exfoliating mask, followed by a After the party of Black Seaweed Peel off mask.

I think they are the perfect product to help give your skin that extra bit of TLC that it can need after all the festive stress & events. They are available to purchase from Superdrug & are one of their new products which I think are fab! 

Hot Cocoa Cream Mask 

Sticking with the christmas themed face masks. iN.gredients have recently blessed us with 6 delicious festive flavour face masks. Each cleanse & purify your skin whilst helping to minimise the appearance of pores. It helps leave your skin feeling hydrated & nourished. Which is perfect for this time of year when the cold weather dries out your skin. You can choose from:

*Pumpkin Spice Latte
*Egg Nog 
*Candy Cane
*Apple Pie 
*Cranberry
*Hot Cocoa

Again like the other masks they are perfect for keeping on while watching a christmas film.
You can find them on Asos.

All the products are linked in their descriptions so if you want to find out more about them or treat yourself to some perfect christmas pampering goodies then these are perfect!

Take Care,

Hot Cloth Cleanser - Skin Truth

Hello Everyone!

Hope you are well.

Previously I've posted about a new Skincare brand which I started to try "Skin Truth". I had previously heard of them through being a beautician as I have used some of their products while training & things. But I had never tried the skin care products on myself. I had looked at them when going to Pro Beauty at the Excel but never actually brought the skin care range.

So I thought I would bite the bullet & try some out for myself. As it's always good finding new products which work well on your skin especially if you've had great experiences from previous products of theirs.

Skin Truth is a professional beauty range which includes advanced ingredients while giving a enhanced salon experience. All their products are also Paraben, Sulphate & Mineral oil free. They literally also have a range to suit everyone for everything from skin care, to manicure products to aromatherapy goods. You can purchase them from Salons who stock them, from beauty shows, to beauty trade shops or even online to try them for yourself. But I am literally so impressed with the range of products they have to offer.

The products I tried previously were more catered to my skin type but in with my skincare routine I am forever using No 7's hot cloth cleanser & muslin. It literally is my go to product & I cannot get enough of it. I use it both day & night.

So I thought I would give another Hot cloth cleanser a go & decided to try the Skintruth one. 

The Hot cloth cleanser is more of a deep cleanser which it perfect for all skin types. It is packed with Eucalyptus oil which uplifts & rejuvenates the skin. It removes impurities & any stubborn make up. It is also packed with Cocoa butter & Aloe Vera which is great to help soothe & replenish the skins moisture. 

The cleanser is perfect for:
*Deeply cleansing the skin 
*Leaving it feeling soft & radiant
*Uplifting
*Removing any dirt & impurities

Most Hot cloth cleansers do come with a muslin face cloth too which is what you should use when using the cleanser but I will admit I don't always use the cloth & just use it as a deep cleanser. 

It is so simple to use yet so effective I find. You simply:

*Massage the cleanser onto your face & neck
*Make the muslin cloth damp with warm water
*Place the muslin cloth over your face to help open up your pores & soak the cleanser in or you can just simply use the cloth to wipe off the cleanser.
*Splash you face with cold water to close your pores 
*Dry your face

It's literally that simple to use & easily one of the best skin care products I have found to include in with my skin care routine. 

Price wise it is around the same kind of price as what I pay for No 7's hot cloth cleanser & I have to say it is on par with it! I was so impressed! So if like me you like your hot cloth cleanser or perhaps you want to try one which is good for all skin types this is perfect for you!
