My Favourite Skincare Products of 2020 – What a year!

February 8, 2021 36 Comments

We are well into 2021 now but lets take a little look back to 2020.

2020 has to be one of the most trying years not just for Scotland but most of the world. I have not seen my family in over a year now and on top of that my routine has been completely changed because of the three lockdowns we have had. Since routines have changed so has my skincare routine. The main reasons being the everyday use of face masks, putting on harsh hand sanitiser and not forgetting just the stress of lockdown.

I have had to adjust my skincare regime a lot since lockdown started as I have noticed my skin is more sensitive and dry. My hands are drier because of using hand sanitiser more often and my face tends to get acne from wearing a face mask. This year has been a whirlwind for my skin, so adapting my skincare was a must.

I have to admit that trying this Dermavive CBD moisturiser was the first time I have ever tried CBD in a skincare product. I have tried CBD supplements before which I absolutely love but this was new but something I was looking forward to.

Dermavive CBD Moisturiser Ultra Cream 1000MG is a moisturiser infused with cannabidiol. It calms the look of the skin, reduces the appearance of irritation and destresses the senses. The nourishing cream is formulated with CBD from hemp which is rich in omega 6 and 3. It’s non-toxic and hydrates soothe and destresses the skin with its essential oil blend.

Pixi Hydrating Milky Makeup Remover

November 30, 2020 16 Comments

PIXI Hydrating Milky Makeup Remover is a gentle bi-phase formula. It promises to effectively remove eye, lip and face makeup which also includes waterproof makeup. I got the entire Pixi Beauty Hydrating Milky Collection at the start of 2020 and it didn’t take me long to delve into the collection.

As soon as I got the collection I couldn’t wait to try this as I love taking my makeup off after a long day. The bottle 150ml of product and has a push dispense cap which makes it quite easy to saturate a cotton pad/makeup removing towel without the mess. Another couple of things I thought were worth mentioning is that it’s suitable for all skin types and paraben-free.

Pixi Beauty is a cruelty-free brand

At the start of autumn, I was kindly gifted this set from the fabulous people over at Antipodes. It came just in time for the colder weather because the colder weather wreaks havoc on my skin with the cold air and also making my skin quite dry too.

Since I got this a couple of months ago, I have had proper time to try the whole Antipodes Skin Brightening Manuka range. The range is made from wild-sourced honey from new Zealand which helps lock moisture into the skin. This range is perfect, especially for oily, combination or blemish-prone skin.

The Beehive box set contains three full-sized products. Aura Manuka Honey Mask 75ml, Manuka Honey Skin Brightening Eye Cream 30ml and last but not least Manuka Honey Skin-Brightening Light Day Cream 60ml.

Hello everyone!

Since I got nearer to the age of 30 I tended to pay a little more attention to my skincare regime more and learn what is best for my skin, now I know much more at 30 and usually know what’s best for my skin. Rollback the clock to 10 years ago I wasn’t very skincare savvy because I didn’t do any skincare apart the occasional Nivea moisturiser, so you can see i wasn’t in the know, looking back I wish I used SPF and did my homework and learn more then!

L’aves know that our skin changes daily and can be affected by things such as hormones, environmental conditions and even stress, so their products have the necessary ingredients our skin needs. All of their products are made in small batches so they are guaranteed to be fresh every time. They have skincare for all ages because we know our skin needs different things at different stages of our lives.

Their products are palm oil-free, preservative-free and free from such as harmful fragrance, no additive colour, no parabens, no phthalates or gluten. They are also eco friendly, vegan and cruelty-free.

POWERED BY NATURE, BACKED BY SCIENCE
