Whether you prefer an all natural oil that needs to be removed with a flannel or cloth or a silky balm that emulsifies and turns milky on contact with water, balms and oils are simply the best when it comes to taking off that first layer of makeup, dirt and/or SPF.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjCVCUtYb11fFMCPe_cTRnyykaZG0n5HgRalS8soky8c3m4bsrvI_j84SlHeQtN-rbFehY-NuUl3s6uOd0vHpydd9neMkZo4bd4bQN65uDDex10JNbFprxmd3oOIqnlEnPD6nQN4mBvv8nkllP3JOZXu7ASHnIgjNaQyQxKdaUYIr9NZTJSEsTzJULrBFT/s1200/Simple%20Kind%20to%20Skin%20Hydrating%20Cleansing%20Oil%20Review.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjCVCUtYb11fFMCPe_cTRnyykaZG0n5HgRalS8soky8c3m4bsrvI_j84SlHeQtN-rbFehY-NuUl3s6uOd0vHpydd9neMkZo4bd4bQN65uDDex10JNbFprxmd3oOIqnlEnPD6nQN4mBvv8nkllP3JOZXu7ASHnIgjNaQyQxKdaUYIr9NZTJSEsTzJULrBFT/s320/Simple%20Kind%20to%20Skin%20Hydrating%20Cleansing%20Oil%20Review.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The cleansing oil by affordable, no-nonsense skincare brand Simple is a really good option whether you're a skincare enthusiast with plenty of existing products or you're looking to try an oil cleanser for the first time. I've tried my fair share of cleansing balms and oils over the years and this no frills option should, in my opinion, be a staple in everyone's bathroom cabinet.</p><p>Formulated with no colour or artificial fragrance, the unscented cleansing oil might seem basic - and it is - but basic is often best, especially when it comes to removing makeup and doing that first cleanse that takes all the grot off your face. If you have sensitive skin then this was made for you as it's hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested and approved for skin that's on the sensitive side. That said, if you don't experience sensitivity then this is still perfect, I think it's that good!</p><p>The Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil is a blend of Grapeseed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, emollients and Vitamin A and E. It leaves skin feeling hydrated and comfortable, even before you follow up with serums and moisturisers.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">How to use an Oil Cleanser</h3><div>If you've never tried an oil cleanser before, you might be wondering how best to use one. It's quite simple really (pun?) but the key thing is to make sure you have a dry face and hands to start with. Simple Cleansing Oil is packaged in a recycled plastic bottle that you use by tipping it upside down and squeezing gently to dispense the product. Add a few drops to dry palms, then massage the oil onto a dry face - this oil provides plenty of slip so it's really easy to massage into the skin. Once you've given your face a nice little massage, either rinse with warm water to emulsify or use a wrung-out warm flannel or cloth to remove the oil, taking dirt and makeup with it.</div><div>As it's an emulsifying formula, the oil transforms into an easily removed milk once water is added, so it does the job pretty quickly.</div><div><i>When removing mascara and eye makeup, it's a good idea to add a drop or two to a cotton pad or reusable/washable round, press on the eye area gently to help the oil loosen the makeup, then gently wipe away vefore rinsing.</i></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.boots.com/simple-kind-to-skin-hydrating-cleansing-oil-125ml-10216790">Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil </a>seems to be pretty widely liked thanks to the effective formula and afforable price point. I'll continue to use it as a first cleanse and leave the pricier, more sensorial cleansers for the second cleanse.</div><p>The cleansing oil has an rrp of £6.99 for 125ml but it's often on special at <a href="https://www.boots.com/simple-kind-to-skin-hydrating-cleansing-oil-125ml-10216790">Boots</a>.</p><p><br /></p>Hannah Randallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15593808672008216623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775230854191737755.post-59579690538405773182023-10-11T20:57:00.004+01:002023-10-11T20:57:54.153+01:00Winter Healthcare Tips That Just Make Sense <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> (Collaborative Post)</span></p><p>Now that we’re entering the colder months of the year, you might be feeling a little down in the dumps. After all, the glorious summer has now been and gone, nights are drawing in quicker, and you may have already caught the first of many winter colds. However, all seasons should be enjoyed, and there are a plethora of things you can do to give yourself a bit of a health boost, both physically and mentally. Here are some winter health care tips that just make sense.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZBoW9syz1BfuoMGdPGrS7Nmf2j_woUNYsR7oQoRe5gRMbwtprDyyUWpW1n7hVoA-V65VI4fYr4u0fXusT_WAGixWAsXjxTTX53_iFHQCoNADSdz0VSfpVjIxciulu_8ul82kAZZJPRha8C4IMfLspop-LjO2rKAB-IlAVS2lBK-NnXTqyf2StkBf6Ofqh/s4032/pexels-rhiannon-stone-831468.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZBoW9syz1BfuoMGdPGrS7Nmf2j_woUNYsR7oQoRe5gRMbwtprDyyUWpW1n7hVoA-V65VI4fYr4u0fXusT_WAGixWAsXjxTTX53_iFHQCoNADSdz0VSfpVjIxciulu_8ul82kAZZJPRha8C4IMfLspop-LjO2rKAB-IlAVS2lBK-NnXTqyf2StkBf6Ofqh/w400-h300/pexels-rhiannon-stone-831468.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><b>Exercise more</b></p><p>While you may not feel like going outside much in the gloomier weather, exercise is great for both your physical and mental health. If you don’t enjoy exercising alone, why not build a team of friends doing your favourite sport? You can find affordable <a href="https://www.akumasports.com/">sport kits designers online</a> to design a kit so that you can enter competitions and continue to enjoy the sport from here on out.</p><p><b>Switch to organic</b></p><p>Organic foods haven’t been treated with pesticides and insecticides that could be harmful to the body. While it’s a little bit more expensive to switch to organic produce, the quality and nutrients the produce provides is bar none. You’ll wonder why you’ve never made the change before!</p><p><b>Drink more water</b></p><p>We all know that drinking water helps keep weight at bay, flushes toxins out of our bodies, makes our <a href="https://www.lippyinlondon.com/2023/08/travel-skincare-from-nourish-london.html">skin glow</a> and more, but many of us still fail to drink at least 2 litres of water each day! If you’re struggling to consume that amount of water, consider trying out <a href="https://uk.air-up.com/">air up</a>, a revolutionary new way of drinking water but with a more satisfying taste! Many consumers have tried it and found it makes a world of difference to the amount of water they consume.</p><p><b>Laugh!</b></p><p>Laughter is the best medicine, and sometimes it’s easy to take life too seriously and fall into a bit of a rut. Go out for dinner with the girls or invite your best friends over for a night of laughter and giggles. You’ll feel a thousand times better once you have.</p><p><b>Quit smoking</b></p><p>Quitting smoking should always be at the top of your list when it comes to self care and your general health. Aside from the obviously damaging side effects of smoking, you’ll be saving money, you’ll smell better, and you might even find that some of your senses were dulled as a smoker will come back! You can also wave goodbye to tobacco stained fingers and yellow teeth too.</p><p><b>Cut back on alcohol</b></p><p>The festive season is quickly approaching, and that often means a few too many eggnogs or glasses of wine with dinner. However, cutting back now will allow your body to have a rest before the festivities begin, and it’ll make you feel so much better.</p><p><b>Take vitamins</b></p><p>Finally, we’re all a little more susceptible to coming down with illnesses at this time of year, so it might be worth <a href="https://www.health.harvard.edu/mens-health/do-multivitamins-make-you-healthier">taking a multivitamin each day</a>. Speak to your local pharmacist about which ones they recommend.</p>Hannah Randallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15593808672008216623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775230854191737755.post-16989212772290274922023-08-08T08:05:00.002+01:002023-08-08T08:41:15.007+01:00The Spark Company - Ethical Clothing That Makes a Statement<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(affiliate)</span></p><p> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Have you heard of The Spark Company?

Often, printed t shirts are sort of stiff or scratchy and feel a bit cheap, but not these! The length on the Tee I have is excellent too as I have quite a long torso and it fits perfectly. With a T Rex illustration with Eat The Patriarchy wording beneath, this top certainly makes people do a double take as at first glance it could be the logo for what's probably the most famous dinosaur film in existence.

little less dreary this summer, you’re probably thinking about the beauty bits
you’re going to take with you. So many of us travel with hand luggage only
these days, so we’re unlikely to be taking our full-sized favourites with us.
With that in mind, Nourish London have us all covered with their range of
beauty minis – perfectly portable and ideal for popping in your zip lock bag
before you head through security.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #222222;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0-BAJ1gF0ECfX-hNsXSfq-k26G30x50yUaahf1M8fCNs94HzZqK9iGSbES3yxhQ3H759XUh9TPB40BTIzzSYhV_2tVyImqORTgHZm6j-TegWm6zCp3YG1cGozEBwLKm5zC6PIj4G3O3_swYruEavwMU3it22D3r0TL8aQ8zOOPPIdHcwhFYidAo1ftkDy/s2550/nourish-london-skincare-travel-minis.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nourish London skincare travel minis" border="0" data-original-height="1700" data-original-width="2550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0-BAJ1gF0ECfX-hNsXSfq-k26G30x50yUaahf1M8fCNs94HzZqK9iGSbES3yxhQ3H759XUh9TPB40BTIzzSYhV_2tVyImqORTgHZm6j-TegWm6zCp3YG1cGozEBwLKm5zC6PIj4G3O3_swYruEavwMU3it22D3r0TL8aQ8zOOPPIdHcwhFYidAo1ftkDy/s16000/nourish-london-skincare-travel-minis.jpg" title="Nourish London skincare travel minis" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>

mini versions of some bestsellers, but they also offer a great selection of
travel minis. If you’re a frequent reader you’ll know that I’ve tried a lot of
the range over the years, so here are my picks.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="background: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Argan Skin Renew Moisturiser – Travel Size (15ml)<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Designed to soothe and quench dry and dehydrated skin, this
moisturiser is perfect for use after sun exposure. Omega-rich Argan Oil is the
star of this cream, with Tripeptides to boost collagen and antioxidant Vitamin
E also in the mix. It contains Frankincense, Myrrh (no gold though unfortunately),
Borage and Rose of Jericho, and you can really smell the Frankincense on
application, though this dissipates quite quickly so don’t fear if you’re not a
fan of that scent. I like this cream at every time of year but particularly

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve actually just finished a full sized bottle of this
cleanser so I’m very much prepared to sing its praises! Kale 3D Cleanse is
unique in that it changes colour as you cleanse, which adds a touch of novelty
to the whole experience. My son in particular likes the fact that it turns
green, Hulk style! The 70% organic cleanser is gentle yet effective, with Kale,
Griffonia (a touch of shrub) Hyaluronic Acid, Probiotics and oxygenating
ingredients leaving the skin feeling fresh, clean and comfortable. I really
like using this cleanser for my second cleanse.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Skin Rescue is my current post-retinol skin treat. This is a
thick, nourishing oil treatment formulated with Argan Oil, Abyssinian and
Neroli Oil to improve the skin’s suppleness, elasticity and hydration levels.
It’s designed to soothe and repair stressed out skin, enhance collagen and
protect from future damage. This stuff is like a fire blanket for your skin –
instantly calming and comforting. It’s very rich, so you only need the tiniest
amount for your whole face, making the £10 price point very much worth it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://nourishskinrange.com/products/argan-skin-rescue-travel-size?_pos=2&_sid=c97cfc5d0&_ss=r">Shop the Travel Size Argan Skin Rescue for £10</a></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">One of my favourite beauty products. Seriously. I’ve been
through pots of the Super Balm since I was introduced to Nourish years ago,
which is a pretty good indication that it’s one of my personal ride or dies. I
can almost guarantee that if you try the travel size you’ll have the full size
ordered and waiting at your doorstep for when you’re back from holiday. With
natural plant oils and extracts, antioxidants and Marine Algae, this omega-rich
balm does it all. Use it as a cleanser, paired with a flannel or muslin to
exfoliate, as a really nourishing overnight mask, as a makeup primer,
highlighter, dewy moisturiser and much more. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

B'Kate Brow Dip is a pomade designed to shape, define and shade the brows and I've been really enjoying testing it out.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlusMI5cZ9erB9bJJatXUi06glmPTXiWSgEocGR6eZOPX-mqDZ66xsDwJ-es8JvnGRzXMG8cYy4NdyR1q06rTQHRJ2KA_k4oSC2cRSd3HLG_yc6Vt9CMF0cMgyte9Rju27aYRdvz6Bl1dK4tLQKBFAUHVoH0BlycVCMW4zmRWgKZRqsdBvp5DfiKAgjDBp/s815/bkate%20brow%20dip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="815" data-original-width="794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlusMI5cZ9erB9bJJatXUi06glmPTXiWSgEocGR6eZOPX-mqDZ66xsDwJ-es8JvnGRzXMG8cYy4NdyR1q06rTQHRJ2KA_k4oSC2cRSd3HLG_yc6Vt9CMF0cMgyte9Rju27aYRdvz6Bl1dK4tLQKBFAUHVoH0BlycVCMW4zmRWgKZRqsdBvp5DfiKAgjDBp/s16000/bkate%20brow%20dip.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>First and foremost I have to say that this stuff stays put! If you live here in the UK you've probably noticed the rather sweaty weather we've been having, which has given me a great opportunity to truly test the staying power of the Brow Dip. From application at 8am through to my return home at 8:45pm, via quite a lot of walking in the sun and one <i>very</i> sweaty tube train, my brows remained intact. In fact, they only budged when I used a balm cleanser, during which the formula rinsed away beautifully with minimal effort. See, I love a stay-put product but I equally detest beauty formulas that are hard work to remove. You know how there are some mascaras that stay on all day but then also refuse to leave your lashes when you actually want them to? That. This, in my opinion is therefore perfect - it stays on when you want it to but then <i>comes off</i> when you want it to as well.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg42I9xv29VMPm_CE93aVqHLiJ9Jujjug_ImoaBmieDizc0XF7g7tS3VHpncIeBnoqdUeS1TubQ3lsN99XsjkJKkg3jRnFDExlwtt6DZpLJq1eVZzEn2HFfQaDQMeAyPi95NBk2CsC9C9j3En592O0ctlyNXA3HgtNgeE08C0j4vdtCAtV5EkoNZiX1PdS9/s2268/bkate%20brow%20dip%203.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="2268" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg42I9xv29VMPm_CE93aVqHLiJ9Jujjug_ImoaBmieDizc0XF7g7tS3VHpncIeBnoqdUeS1TubQ3lsN99XsjkJKkg3jRnFDExlwtt6DZpLJq1eVZzEn2HFfQaDQMeAyPi95NBk2CsC9C9j3En592O0ctlyNXA3HgtNgeE08C0j4vdtCAtV5EkoNZiX1PdS9/w640-h640/bkate%20brow%20dip%203.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>I've used the Brow Dip with the B'Kate Angled Brush and a spoolie brush, and both methods work for me, though I do prefer using the spoolie.

From the beautiful packaging to the texture, scent and effects of the cream, this is one product I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again. Here's why.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Formulated with Japanese Purple Rice, the Dewy Skin Cream is designed to perform a number of actions, including to hydrate and plump the skin and protect against pollution and stress. But above all it’s the dewy finish it imparts that got me really interested!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Thick yet somehow light at the same time, the dewy cream melts into the skin on application and leaves a gorgeous glow. It can be used both during the day and at night and while I am loving it as my PM post-retinol moisturiser, it seems a shame to waste the gorgeous dewy glow effect!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8O8Jea7UqOKnxph1m3ZNkTe-nVZgffQIyLg8FBjaLSr7mQfKtY4HZn9PTYgWIUpgu4Vsc78Ubq8bC99EZ9ABLVC-UZHjPxiaZ0PBp1TXws09JjI99uvJieFCk0I6XeqFtVH7vmH8mT4ne2Ma9CcRhngl74yiQofRPf-DlkRjBI_iCBBv9bvwWsDlN2c9R/s794/tatcha%20dewy%20skin%20cream%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="794" data-original-width="794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8O8Jea7UqOKnxph1m3ZNkTe-nVZgffQIyLg8FBjaLSr7mQfKtY4HZn9PTYgWIUpgu4Vsc78Ubq8bC99EZ9ABLVC-UZHjPxiaZ0PBp1TXws09JjI99uvJieFCk0I6XeqFtVH7vmH8mT4ne2Ma9CcRhngl74yiQofRPf-DlkRjBI_iCBBv9bvwWsDlN2c9R/s16000/tatcha%20dewy%20skin%20cream%201.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">As mentioned this cream contains Japanese Purple Rice as a hero ingredient. This rice is nutrient-rich and high in the antioxidant Anthocyanin which aids in protecting against stress and pollution, in turn promoting a healthier looking skin. The base of the cream is also made up of humectant Glycerin and Squalane.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Also in the formula is a special Okinawa Algae and Hyaluronic Acid blend. We know by now that Hyaluronic Acid retains moisture and this blend is responsible for leaving the skin feeling soft and nourished. This special blend also helps to create the smoothing and plumping effect that this cream creates.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">A range of botanical extracts and oils round off the formula, including Ginseng, Wild Thyme and Sweet Marjoram. These are included to nourish and moisturise and add to the dewy effect of the cream.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzWSeAiyri2gDQQSS5JsrGCdAiSQtqUP87x3VNkmydCv8490kGwcTGjQPbsXfxTyYIfIT_UZTZXZ0ycNs_WvmZj8OOjcwiTpZl14PA4MiYXocqPPWzt6Al56HSy9VwmPIibZdi6I-9TZjtF_MZTQlsQ_qG6uOer9SvU12l6tRqTXdZvrqqTZDO6FRglNPG/s794/tatcha%20dewy%20skin%20cream%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="794" data-original-width="794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzWSeAiyri2gDQQSS5JsrGCdAiSQtqUP87x3VNkmydCv8490kGwcTGjQPbsXfxTyYIfIT_UZTZXZ0ycNs_WvmZj8OOjcwiTpZl14PA4MiYXocqPPWzt6Al56HSy9VwmPIibZdi6I-9TZjtF_MZTQlsQ_qG6uOer9SvU12l6tRqTXdZvrqqTZDO6FRglNPG/s16000/tatcha%20dewy%20skin%20cream%202.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghcKoiaQWcaTFCQbS6ZDFbsJSwFDORQFjwyaohdXqkjh_xF7JRFbM039eOFkXuISs6rM3ScfOceC_EUkivntPKKyCPbORFH3zJNn9Z1pr8nSfEFN1RLqdzhzfn06YlRddov8sux6Ka5XAsFs5kfuK5Lj0JkYIEDKVfBA-1169HkbvoYlVPSk3B8DJcrIDv/s794/tatcha%20dewy%20skin%20cream%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="794" data-original-width="794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghcKoiaQWcaTFCQbS6ZDFbsJSwFDORQFjwyaohdXqkjh_xF7JRFbM039eOFkXuISs6rM3ScfOceC_EUkivntPKKyCPbORFH3zJNn9Z1pr8nSfEFN1RLqdzhzfn06YlRddov8sux6Ka5XAsFs5kfuK5Lj0JkYIEDKVfBA-1169HkbvoYlVPSk3B8DJcrIDv/s16000/tatcha%20dewy%20skin%20cream%203.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">On first application I noticed the cream has a light, really calming scent which is what made me think it would be good as a night cream. I thought it was lavender oil until now when I’m looking at the ingredients list and can’t actually see lavender listed – it does contain parfum/fragrance right down the end though. At the end of the ingredients is also Mica, Tin Oxide and Titanium Dioxide (which would give the cream that aesthetic sheen/glow) and also the colour Violet 2. I imagine the Purple Rice used in the formula may have offered a bit of colour but not quite enough!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">In case it’s important to you, I also want to mention that the cream is formulated without mineral oil, synthetic fragrance, sulfates, parabens, urea, DEA, TEA and phthalates.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">According to the brand’s website, Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream is recommended for people with dry to mature skin and combo skin – people with oily skin types might find this a little too rich for day time but I think it would suit anyone as a comforting night cream, just be sure to double check the ingredients if you are sensitive to certain essential oils.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tatcha <a href="https://www.spacenk.com/uk/skincare/moisturisers/day-moisturiser/the-dewy-skin-cream-MUK200034625.html">The Dewy Skin Cream</a> is available right now at a few retailers including Space NK where you can find the travel size too if you want to try it for a few weeks before committing to the full size.

And just as an artist will always prep their canvas to achieve the best final result, you’ll need to do the same. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">To begin with, make sure you have <a href="https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/skin-care-basics/care/face-washing-101">a clean face</a>. Remove any dirt and excess oil because otherwise the makeup won’t look flawless and smooth, and it might not even stay on your face for very long, ruining the look well before you’re ready to take a photo of it. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Once you have washed your face, you need to apply moisturiser to keep it well-hydrated and then follow this with some primer. This helps to minimise the appearance of pores and is another useful tool to ensure your makeup stays in place all day. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Choose The Right Foundation</b> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">The first element of your makeup that you need to apply once your face is clean is your foundation. This will make your face neutral and make your skin tone all one colour. This will help you when you come to apply other makeup over the top. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s crucial that you pick the right shade of foundation so that it matches your skin, otherwise it will look strange if other areas of your skin - such as your neck - are visible and there is a clear difference. The best place to test the colour is along your jawbone. Once you have applied it, blend it on your face using a clean, damp makeup sponge or brush. This will give you a natural finish without any harsh lines. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Enhance Your Features </span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Once the base is ready, you can move on to the makeup itself. The best thing to do is to pick products that will enhance your features. Beautiful lashes from <a href="https://belolash.com/">BELO Lash</a> could be just the thing to enhance your eyes, for example, whereas a deep-coloured lipstick might be the ideal choice for your lips. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is where you can really go to town and <a href="https://www.lippyinlondon.com/2016/01/mac-dita-von-teese-lipstick.html">make your own look</a>, so don’t be afraid to experiment. If you don’t like something, just take it off and try something else. As long as the individual elements look good and make your best features stand out, the rest will easily fall into place, and your Instagram photos will look fantastic every time. </span></p>Hannah Randallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15593808672008216623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775230854191737755.post-57976012293101010132023-05-24T13:36:00.005+01:002023-05-24T13:36:55.084+01:00Beauty Sleep with Nourish London <p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(Samples)</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> I write about Nourish London products a lot on this blog.

I've been really enjoying trying these out, especially because I have two small children that can always use a little help with winding down.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://nourishskinrange.com/products/sleep-essential-oil-blend">The Sleep Essential Oil Blend 10ml</a> - £17</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a multi-use oil that can be added sparingly to a bath or added to a carrier for a soothing massage/body oil. You can of course use it in a diffuser too or, like me, sprinkle a little on the bed sheets. I've also previously added a few drops of essential oil to a shaker of bicarb, sprinkled on the carpet, then vacuumed it up, so I'll be trying that next with this in the bedroom I think.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">This blend contains oils of Patchouli (one of my favourite smells in the world), Lavender, Frankincense, Neroli, Chamomile and Petitgrain, with each oil chosen for its naturally soothing properties.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://nourishskinrange.com/products/probiotic-anti-ageing-face-mask">Probiotic Multi-Mineral Repair Mask 30ml</a> - £26</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">The first thing you’ll notice when you try this mask is that it smells amazing and spa-like. It’s basically like relaxation in a bottle. Which makes it particularly lovely to spread over your face in moments when you need a little calm and quiet. This cooling, soothing cream mask doesn’t set and you can use it in two ways to reap its anti-ageing, calming benefits: Massage into skin using circular movements, relax, then remove after at least five minutes with a warm cloth or for an intensive treatment, leave it on as overnight treatment and wash your face in the morning. This mask contains Damask Rose and Lavender to relax and calm, Magnesium to heal and hydrate, Copper to boost collagen and Iron and Zinc to repair and protect. The Iron, Copper, Zinc and Magnesium are all ferments, which is what makes this a probiotic skincare product. I really enjoy using this mask and think I’d have trouble finding anyone who wouldn’t like it to be honest.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicHYLnEXeitQk8uQt6__Kckfru7A4GiY4DN72uLZWRcWSi5oLOI6vav8WRrHE1vG3388NpTJ19_l_CB98_BHldgwW5NVZe95b97QXb6Fc1qMEbiWzkmhzR5YJqvgy0_p2krL3ddG5PoP4FP5Lq3nXBeUOKyLnGTjYxciBtR0CuyvmXBLGgSl5u0l_Fow/s2268/PXL_20230524_092601095.PORTRAIT.ORIGINAL~3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="2268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicHYLnEXeitQk8uQt6__Kckfru7A4GiY4DN72uLZWRcWSi5oLOI6vav8WRrHE1vG3388NpTJ19_l_CB98_BHldgwW5NVZe95b97QXb6Fc1qMEbiWzkmhzR5YJqvgy0_p2krL3ddG5PoP4FP5Lq3nXBeUOKyLnGTjYxciBtR0CuyvmXBLGgSl5u0l_Fow/s16000/PXL_20230524_092601095.PORTRAIT.ORIGINAL~3.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://nourishskinrange.com/products/sleepy-lavender-pillow-mist">Sleep Lavender Pillow Mist 100ml</a> - £20</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve tried more pillow mists than I can count and can hand on heart declare this one to be a favourite. This relaxing mist contains a blend of 9 soothing essential oils known for promoting a good night’s sleep, including Lavender, Rose, Frankincense, Sweet Orange, Geranium, Patchouli, Bergamot, Sweet Marjoram and Juniper Berry. It also features Epsom Salt, which is rich in rest-inducing Magnesium and something that really sets this apart from other pillow mists. The scent of the mist is very delicate, inoffensive and soothing. It smells beautifully ‘natural’ (which it is!) with a sort of earthy quality to it that I personally really like. I’d recommend this to virtually anyone who either needs a little help in unwinding at bed time or just appreciates a really good pillow mist!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can find all of these products and plenty more at <a href="https://nourishskinrange.com/">Nourish London</a>.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p>Hannah Randallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15593808672008216623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775230854191737755.post-53098628784475194942023-05-18T19:18:00.002+01:002023-05-18T19:18:18.419+01:00How to Dress Confidently<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: xx-small;"> (Collaborative Post)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you look at yourself in the mirror and just don’t feel like your clothing reflects your personality then now is the time for you to make a change. </span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Act Now</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s very easy for you to get caught up in the whole “improve yourself” culture. The start of a new year is often the time when people start to take action, but this isn’t the only window you have to make a change. You can make a change whenever you want, and when you do, you will soon find that you feel way better for it.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxBOO-pHrkPJuQLqAY0deB8p0_SqD-yTpMZ343UDL3ucAOiVOxNgxrkARoZoqp44H7WEvDysOjcgiBadnCbuCTago2wqEePtkwRWZRKyU-ShZ2KN99x-6CFad5eIq3sOXzBiyVdfycvzz8fItWGJgkyfLOBf0c7cnh6XflNTR54F-NhRpVWVdGqod7WA/s1836/IMG_20221001_115159_568.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1836" data-original-width="1836" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxBOO-pHrkPJuQLqAY0deB8p0_SqD-yTpMZ343UDL3ucAOiVOxNgxrkARoZoqp44H7WEvDysOjcgiBadnCbuCTago2wqEePtkwRWZRKyU-ShZ2KN99x-6CFad5eIq3sOXzBiyVdfycvzz8fItWGJgkyfLOBf0c7cnh6XflNTR54F-NhRpVWVdGqod7WA/s16000/IMG_20221001_115159_568.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><p></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Get Rid of Stuff</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">The first step to dressing better is having <a href="https://www.lippyinlondon.com/2017/10/black-jeans-aw-staple-ad.html#.ZGZJE3bMJPY">clothes</a> that fit you well and that make you feel really good about yourself. If you have clothes in your wardrobe that are too tight, or that do not flatter you at all then you need to get rid of them. You need to put them in the bin or take them to a local donation centre. If you don’t then you may find that they will spur the toxic relationship that you currently have with your wardrobe. Everyone has clothes that they wish they could fit into as well, but now really is the time for you to get rid of them. Wearing clothes that are too small, or too uncomfortable for you will make you appear bigger than you are, and it will impact your confidence too. If you have tried a trend and it has not worked out well for you then now is the time for you to let that trend go. If it doesn’t make you feel good and if it doesn’t make you look good, then purging it is the way to go. If you want to buy some new clothes, be sure to check out <a href="https://www.theiconic.co.nz/">The Iconic</a> </span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Separate how you Feel</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Even if you do not suffer from body image issues, it’s very easy for you to have a skewed vision of yourself. Usually, it is far too harsh as well. At the end of the day, a lot of people struggle with their body image, and they often find themselves struggling and feeling ashamed of their bodies. This is especially the case when it comes to trying on new clothes. Your improvement goals are great to have, but at the same time, you need to make sure that they are separate from your style. If you dress trying to hide certain aspects of your body or if you dress trying to fix things about yourself then you may feel as though you have a constant lack of self-confidence.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Identify Style Types</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now you have taken the time to purge your clothes, or at least the ones that do not make you feel great, it is time for you to work on the styles that help you to feel happy about yourself. If you are sporty then try and edge toward clothes like this. If you like to be edgy, then embrace this style. If you can do that then you will soon find that it is easier than ever for you to get the look you are going for. Of course, you need to identify what styles you have in your wardrobe right now before you delve too deeply into your style journey. If you do this then if there are some pieces that do not work for you, or that you don’t feel confident in then you can easily avoid them.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Don’t Copy Others Exactly</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">You have to make sure that you do not copy others exactly, and you also need to avoid pretending to be something you are not. You may be tempted to dress like your favourite influencer and there is nothing wrong with this, but you do have to remember that your style is your own and your preferences should be authentic to you. If you copy other people’s passion then you may be trying to embrace what they have in their life, and you may think that as a result, you can gain from their <a href="https://www.mindtools.com/ap5omwt/how-to-build-self-confidence">confidence</a>. That is not how it works at all. Ultimately, you are just pretending to be someone who you are not, and this can lead to a bit of a detachment from who you are as an individual. It is okay for you to look to others for inspiration or for some guidance with your style, but if you focus on their style too much then this will work against you and this is the last thing you need. If you need some help with your style, then social media is a great resource.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p>Hannah Randallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15593808672008216623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775230854191737755.post-88005560529835228072023-04-12T16:42:00.014+01:002023-04-12T16:49:51.147+01:00Rituals Summer Box of Joy <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: xx-small;">(affiliate links)</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> We all love a beauty advent calendar but why should we only get them around Christmas?

There's something in it that makes me feel a little nauseas - I think it's because the coffee note is quite prominent and a bit much for my nose? Whatever it is, something has stopped me wanting a bottle. I <i>was</i> excited by the release of Black Opium Illicit Green last year (the fig note really appealed to me) but on sniffing it, the juice was just too similar to the original. The latest flanker for Black Opium however, Black Opium Le Parfum, is one of the most gorgeous things I've had my nose on recently and I'm lucky enough to have the <a href="https://www.boots.com/ysl-black-opium-le-parfum-90ml-10322860">90ml bottle</a>.<div><br /><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Vanilla is absolutely the star in this, with a hefty sprinkle of brown sugar on top. I'd describe it as like sitting in a cafe, eating a big slice of vanilla cake with buttercream icing, with a beautiful vase of flowers on the table before you. The vanilla cake is the main character, while there are wafts of freshly ground coffee floating about in the air and a touch of floral elegance somewhere at the back.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Until this point, everything is moving nice and smoothly without anything to worry about. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Then the morning commute begins. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s a source of stress for many of us, meaning we start our days feeling really uptight and tense. For the sake of <a href="https://www.lippyinlondon.com/2023/01/simple-self-care-ideas.html">self-care</a>, you need to figure out how to deal with the stress of the morning commute. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">What can you do to make this a less stressful daily experience?</span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Don’t rely on public transport</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Most of us get super stressed because we rely on public transport in the morning. We need to get a bus, train or tube to work. Some days, there are no issues. On other days, you have delays, strikes and who knows what else?! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">It means that every morning you’re checking travel apps hoping that everything is okay. When there’s a slight delay, your blood pressure goes through the roof and you start getting stressed. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Stop relying on public transport and the stress will melt away. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Find alternative ways of getting to work.</b> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you can drive, think about driving. If not, find other forms of transport that take matters into your own hands. Get a bike or a scooter and you can get to work in a flash without worrying about train or bus times. You could even get a pair of <a href="https://www.skatehut.co.uk/brands/moxi">Moxi Skates</a> to weave your way through everyone on the pavement. The point is, you take control of your mornings by not relying on public transport anymore. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Plan your journey to account for traffic</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you drive, your biggest cause of stress is the morning traffic. It can make you late while driving you insane. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">The solution to this is simple: plan your journey to account for traffic. Learn <a href="https://hhvanhire.co.uk/blog/londons-notorious-rush-hour/">when the rush hour traffic begins</a> and leave way earlier than that. If it means you get to work half an hour or an hour early, then so be it. At least you don’t have to deal with the stressful traffic any more. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Plus, it gives you time to maybe go to a coffee shop for breakfast. Or, if your employer allows, you can start early and leave early - meaning you’ll miss the evening rush hour too! </span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">See if you can work from home</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">The best way to remove the stress of your morning commute is by negating it entirely. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ask your boss if they’ll let you work from home. Many companies allow this and it could make you better at your job if you explain how stressful the commute makes you. It’ll ensure you’re always on time, and working hard. Some bosses will say it’s okay while others won’t. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">If the commute brings you so much stress that it genuinely starts to be a problem, think about changing jobs. Switch to a job where you can work from home, so there’s never any need to worry again. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Depending on your situation, any of these three ideas will help you come up with a solution to the morning stress. Now, you have one less thing playing on your mind, letting your stress levels decline. </span></p><p><br /></p>Hannah Randallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15593808672008216623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775230854191737755.post-91993748408738718792023-03-28T16:00:00.000+01:002023-03-28T16:16:24.892+01:00Ultra Violette SPF 50 Daydream Screen<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(affiliate links)</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Ultra Violette came to the UK market a couple of years ago now and if you’re an avid reader of beauty blogs in general, you’re probably already familiar with the Australian brand. They’ve trademarked the term ‘Skinscreen’, which is a combination of skincare and sunscreen and a concept I am very much here for.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ultra Violette have plenty of SPF and related products available but as I’m about to finish my Chanel tinted moisturiser and wanted a tinted high protection SPF, my first experience with the brand comes in the form of this: The <a href="https://www.spacenk.com/uk/sun-tan/suncare/face-spf/daydream-screen-spf50-tinted-veil-MUK200034952.html">Daydream Screen Tinted Veil</a>.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIv_qs_sU7EJAajXFu4iPx9t4yeVtJIlDwxEm50u3GpKF_zwjUrcHVLT20vQtmuOrG1sWdDsyYLru9WJqLqXbxY4nqnPg5hgEQiGUthwqyfPI9EzFvA_uQ6p0JPdRHVibQDg6VrsBNIGc9tSjXC_jxNwKyi2TLoktimbVjpgjuTwATPBMduXpLA5N_Xg/s2048/ultra-violette-daydream-screen-review-4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIv_qs_sU7EJAajXFu4iPx9t4yeVtJIlDwxEm50u3GpKF_zwjUrcHVLT20vQtmuOrG1sWdDsyYLru9WJqLqXbxY4nqnPg5hgEQiGUthwqyfPI9EzFvA_uQ6p0JPdRHVibQDg6VrsBNIGc9tSjXC_jxNwKyi2TLoktimbVjpgjuTwATPBMduXpLA5N_Xg/s16000/ultra-violette-daydream-screen-review-4.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I went for a colour match in Space NK and was matched to V2, which seems to suit my complexion pretty well though I have a feeling it’s going to look a little pale come summer. The colour spectrum for this product is actually quite good – it’s good to see the darkest shade is designed to blend into <i>actual dark skin</i>, not white-person-with-a-tan-dark.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The formula is lightweight, almost serum-like, but buildable, so you can customise how much coverage you would like. On application, Daydream blends in nicely and, although it feels slightly tacky and ‘sunscreeny’ at first, it does end up feeling pretty weightless once it settles. The fragrance free formula contains plant-derived Pentivitin (Saccharide Isomerate), a hydrating extract that boosts skin’s hydration levels and protects against environmental damage. The SPF is also free from Silicone, Oils and Alcohol.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhScjTTw8uOUb1gUVKFy1J0nU36uakFbTGT1T4MIzfMLJA1dxtbKdevmFZCCdl0kxIFLJEP-zP_WLVHkDaW4UH6INHbB2mag_C9L7_gWWeie98UYKwhh36SIN1cTH1o919jHQjlczV0vy2hJJWw08A-7bRXmw6RAFqCTVkaVr55lNRd6QYC4kQyfuRfCw/s2048/ultra-violette-daydream-screen-review-3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhScjTTw8uOUb1gUVKFy1J0nU36uakFbTGT1T4MIzfMLJA1dxtbKdevmFZCCdl0kxIFLJEP-zP_WLVHkDaW4UH6INHbB2mag_C9L7_gWWeie98UYKwhh36SIN1cTH1o919jHQjlczV0vy2hJJWw08A-7bRXmw6RAFqCTVkaVr55lNRd6QYC4kQyfuRfCw/s16000/ultra-violette-daydream-screen-review-3.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This product makes my skin look healthy and even with a little bit of a glow and I would certainly wear it after the sun goes down too as my make up base. There's no pilling or rolling and I didn't notice any obvious separation, though I confess I didn't scrutinise it with a magnifying mirror or anything like that.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Even though it offers broad spectrum SPF50 UVA and UVB protection, Ultra Violette recommend to <i>not </i>rely on Daydream alone for your sun protection. In fact, it’s designed as a secondary sunscreen/makeup hybrid to apply after your daily sunscreen. I wish I had researched a little more before I purchased because I was after an SPF with a bit of a tint, not a skin tint with SPF, if you know what I mean. Applying a ¼ teaspoon of Daydream to your face would not result in a barely-there-glowing look and would probably even feel a little uncomfortable on the skin so it does make sense when you look at it that way. It’s worth mentioning that I really like the bottle – it’s nice and soft, easy to squeeze, with a narrow nozzle that delivers a custom amount of product.<i></i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk6UQD3j5Sc94jTjG4IsdN5vA5nfiyEUbJoY7wJbHHjq3IZ-_kwwX7SsgDaVmALihwvK-mavTBrQBvpww0J1G0uM_WBmm9xTNeYLAc0UqZyfD3Wj9e3eYOSeBL98E-hnv6pRL21kik1LDJRibtGuQk1OGDrPAoIPH01gW7qFfH1wBeOAt7cgw8mtODWA/s2048/ultra-violette-daydream-screen-review-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk6UQD3j5Sc94jTjG4IsdN5vA5nfiyEUbJoY7wJbHHjq3IZ-_kwwX7SsgDaVmALihwvK-mavTBrQBvpww0J1G0uM_WBmm9xTNeYLAc0UqZyfD3Wj9e3eYOSeBL98E-hnv6pRL21kik1LDJRibtGuQk1OGDrPAoIPH01gW7qFfH1wBeOAt7cgw8mtODWA/s16000/ultra-violette-daydream-screen-review-2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw2gUtT6tiAnscSwHXlbP56edK0yXfFxkOoLX8YVlpxEaFWDeIed9bTr9IvbPJD0-gGthuA3-FbycEQZODivhXsY9R3LbpDbvSPMFnGdojvVCx1spF37l2kdthBjBcAIej5HW96DfuKTUCULd0UdARBBMlcwvqZhlUnsdWxajVni3V-Wja9RweFVPtXQ/s2048/ultra-violette-daydream-screen-review-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw2gUtT6tiAnscSwHXlbP56edK0yXfFxkOoLX8YVlpxEaFWDeIed9bTr9IvbPJD0-gGthuA3-FbycEQZODivhXsY9R3LbpDbvSPMFnGdojvVCx1spF37l2kdthBjBcAIej5HW96DfuKTUCULd0UdARBBMlcwvqZhlUnsdWxajVni3V-Wja9RweFVPtXQ/s16000/ultra-violette-daydream-screen-review-1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As a side note, the box of the SPF says <a href="https://www.spacenk.com/uk/sun-tan/suncare/face-spf/daydream-screen-spf50-tinted-veil-MUK200034952.html">SPF 50+ Daydream Screen Tinted Veil</a> while the bottle says SPF 50 <i>Dream Screen</i> Tinted Veil.

for some post-shower pampering. I for one am terrible when it comes to
neglecting the skin on my body and just focusing on my face, so I very much
welcomed the chance to try one of the new creams. I have the Geranium and
Jasmine Contouring Body Cream but there is also a Bergamot and Cardamom
Smoothing Body Cream available. Both retail for £17 and come in fully
recyclable glass jars with aluminium lids.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqtXwm0E8Q0_Zc95mzXFJzu9xHqum3YD88xNGybKaDRRvLWpFLENSuvkNamfZpjRaYiWaLmPBVfIzv4nIyztzww5ia3qkvtOZQ_07RJVqCrQE3Cc8JgHVLog3c8sbCF4sfnXJXfVESmg1UTu3YfjfVfMc9Sn2JEds024-j8aQah4TnqhwhtJhjCNwdgQ/s2048/nourish-london-vegan-body-cream-5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqtXwm0E8Q0_Zc95mzXFJzu9xHqum3YD88xNGybKaDRRvLWpFLENSuvkNamfZpjRaYiWaLmPBVfIzv4nIyztzww5ia3qkvtOZQ_07RJVqCrQE3Cc8JgHVLog3c8sbCF4sfnXJXfVESmg1UTu3YfjfVfMc9Sn2JEds024-j8aQah4TnqhwhtJhjCNwdgQ/s16000/nourish-london-vegan-body-cream-5.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="color: #222222;">
<span style="background: white;">When I opened the jar of the <a href="https://nourishskinrange.com/products/new-geranium-jasmine-contouring-body-cream">Geranium and JasmineContouring Body Cream</a> the first thing I noticed was the unmistakeable fragrance
of real Jasmine. Delicate, familiar and instantly calming, the Jasmine pairs
beautifully with fragrant Bergamot extract to create a natural scent that
should soothe the senses of most people.</span><br />
<br /><br />
<span style="background: white;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_7DTZHwLdRplBvlcNlzhFacZULOrRk4OqbEStXvJFc34fTDKIkSB1fqzoFSq_PLqMW2e4EGQIP1782O9BJjE07nwJOfXpUJY24lEbmLeFkTpOIgBuySamgMQlqMXWvP37XIZMFt50Kutx2n5ZVOiaj0VGoGGsdyqNy-9UoZIhk1YsQpyJMEYAw4wlBA/s2048/nourish-london-vegan-body-cream-7.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_7DTZHwLdRplBvlcNlzhFacZULOrRk4OqbEStXvJFc34fTDKIkSB1fqzoFSq_PLqMW2e4EGQIP1782O9BJjE07nwJOfXpUJY24lEbmLeFkTpOIgBuySamgMQlqMXWvP37XIZMFt50Kutx2n5ZVOiaj0VGoGGsdyqNy-9UoZIhk1YsQpyJMEYAw4wlBA/s16000/nourish-london-vegan-body-cream-7.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>The cream is super thick and rich and feels quite
luxurious. The base is made up of a variety of nourishing butters and oils
including Cocoa Butter, Shea and Sunflower and contains antioxidant Prickly
Pear extract and hydrating Trehalose as well as Hyaluronic Acid. Trehalose is a
type of plant-derived sugar that's known for its ability to lock in moisture
and mimic the skin's natural moisture factor. In other words, it's an
ingredient you'd definitely want in a body cream.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">The 'contouring' action of the Body Cream comes
from the addition of antioxidant Brown Algae extract, which is renowned in the
skin care world for its firming properties. Brown Algae works to prevent the
degradation of skin elasticity, so it’s a
great ingredient for keeping things supple.</span></span><br /><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibTvkKraHJykQ-HtzYTJye3vp6CBY5jfUJUaV83p4T-jHnMIm2YKfjCAaTCFC3Zgv6mdf9Eq-5zn5qRZQKHV_wg2Hq5GwsxgjHtHlK80VRlKC4JZ1TV_QiuBSbwR65N0cGwnJon5SKKHBNVi6YwGuPGBZ8iYHEKAbMjA0UNZ3rQ6NzijkbnBJf2pTO3w/s2048/nourish-london-vegan-body-cream-6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibTvkKraHJykQ-HtzYTJye3vp6CBY5jfUJUaV83p4T-jHnMIm2YKfjCAaTCFC3Zgv6mdf9Eq-5zn5qRZQKHV_wg2Hq5GwsxgjHtHlK80VRlKC4JZ1TV_QiuBSbwR65N0cGwnJon5SKKHBNVi6YwGuPGBZ8iYHEKAbMjA0UNZ3rQ6NzijkbnBJf2pTO3w/s16000/nourish-london-vegan-body-cream-6.jpg" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><p></p><p>

cream contains cooling and soothing Cucumber extract, calming Aloe and Borage
and uplifting Bergamot and Geranium essential oils. I feel like the Geranium
& Jasmine cream is ideal for winding down at the end of the day/ at night,
while the Bergamot & Cardamom body cream would be perfect for kickstarting
the senses in the morning.</span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

to use a lot less than you might think - if you scoop out too much it's going
to take a while to rub it in as well.</span> It leaves skin feeling soft and
hydrated, with the delicate, soothing scent of Jasmine and Geranium.</span><br />
The perfect treat for after a wash and before bed. Speaking of washing, there
is a matching Geranium & Jasmine Shower Gel too, so you could use that
first for a really pampering spa-like experience.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Nourish London Geranium & Jasmine Contouring Body Cream (100ml) and Bergamot & Cardamom Smoothing Body Cream (100ml) are £17 at <a href="https://nourishskinrange.com/collections/body-creams">Nourish London</a>.

So, if you want to know the answer to a query that you have got, you can type in the full query or some keywords to get you started. For example, if you need to know how to fix a problem with your dishwasher, you can look up the problem online and see if it’s something that you are going to be able to sort on your own. Or, the article might suggest that you call someone to come and take a look at the appliance.

Why? Because studies have shown that pets can lower blood pressure, reduce stress levels, help to improve mental health issues like depression and anxiety, and even lower tout risk of heart attack.

in recent years to state that Lactic Acid products with a concentration of 10%
or more could no longer be sold. This was a real blow to lovers of Good Genes
in the UK so Sunday Riley set about creating a new treatment for the U.K market
which incorporates exfoliating Glycolic Acid with Lactic Acid <i>salt</i> and
so <a href="https://www.spacenk.com/uk/skincare/treatment/serums/good-genes-glycolic-acid-treatment-MUK200022775.html">Sunday Riley Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment</a> was born. I had only
previously tried (and loved) the old formula, so this is my first foray into
the Glycolic Acid version.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 11.75pt;"><span style="color: #222222; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Does it work?</b> In short, yes. Below is my experience
of using the treatment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 11.75pt;"><span style="color: #222222; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When I first pumped out a dollop of the treatment I
was met with that familiar Good Genes scent – a refreshing whiff of lemongrass.
Lemongrass is part of the formula to act as an astringent that tones the
complexion and I love that you can actually smell it. Prickly Pear is also in
the mix to soothe and calm the skin while the Glycolic Acid is, of course,
there to exfoliate and improve the appearance of congestion and sun damage.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 11.75pt;"><span style="color: #222222; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m determined to stick to a retinol regime this
year, so Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment will be my morning serum and I’ll
use it at night on the in-between retinol days. I’ve only been using it daily
since Boxing Day (so around two weeks) and I can already see results in terms
of my skin looking brighter and clearer. I can usually feel a little bit of
congestion on my chin but now there’s just smooth, even skin. The same goes for
around my nose – I sometimes feel and look a little congested around my nostril
folds but Good Genes seems to be taking very good care of that too. It
instantly adds glow too, almost in the same way that a tinted moisturiser
might. I love it. Truly. It’s worth mentioning that if you are someone who finds
Glycolic Acid irritating (I do in some products), this does not personally
irritate <i>my skin</i> because the acid is buffered with the
soothing Prickly Pear. Sunday Riley do recommend you start off using it every
other day and then using daily once skin is used to it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 11.75pt;"><span style="color: #222222; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk5sLbaOetEPeqF2-nMl4PjHcuGZtq7cgNGKZhSDK0Zfg4iZ0828Wibdi3029XhqrzbQJObrEqgZVH9UPhsILUN7T3bhk5Ccj9vE6BIkxrFbyIWXbYwbRfLN-NRa1O95mt5XIK3BB0IXR4iawqx54WNA57YkmqowNLiTQtyzrqoplCGScbS7jZeR4y0w/s2048/sunday-riley0good-genes-glycolic-review-4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk5sLbaOetEPeqF2-nMl4PjHcuGZtq7cgNGKZhSDK0Zfg4iZ0828Wibdi3029XhqrzbQJObrEqgZVH9UPhsILUN7T3bhk5Ccj9vE6BIkxrFbyIWXbYwbRfLN-NRa1O95mt5XIK3BB0IXR4iawqx54WNA57YkmqowNLiTQtyzrqoplCGScbS7jZeR4y0w/s16000/sunday-riley0good-genes-glycolic-review-4.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>

again and I’m actually delighted that my skin does not seem to be reacting to
the Glycolic. I need to be strict with the SPF now because not only do I have retinol
going on at night, the Glycolic Acid is also going to be increasing sensitivity
to the sun. Now to find a lightweight, no-fuss SPF I can mindlessly apply every
morning so I don’t undo all of the work my skincare is doing!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

Many people start the year with intentions to up their activity levels, but it can be hard to muster up the energy to go to the gym or get your bike out when it’s cold and wet outside or you’re tired. Exercise may seem like the last thing you want to do if it’s raining and miserable, or you’ve had a long day, but it’s a surefire means of making yourself feel better. Even if you only have 20 minutes free, you’ll benefit from moving your body. Walking, cycling, jogging, doing fitness classes, dancing, working out at home, playing sports and doing outdoor activities are hugely beneficial for your physical and </span><a href="https://www.lippyinlondon.com/2021/07/effortlessly-improve-your-mental-health.html#.Y71u0nbP23A" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">mental health</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. You might struggle towards the end of a run or a training session, but after you’ve finished, you’ll feel energised and more content. Exercise releases endorphins, reduces stress and aids sleep. Seek advice about exercise and training plans that are suitable for your health status and fitness level. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Supplements and natural remedies</span></b></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s very common for people to feel a little low, lethargic or sluggish during the period after Christmas.

It seems to last forever, the weather is miserable and many of us are on a mission to save money after the festive period. To get through winter, it’s important to take good care of yourself and be proactive in boosting your mood. Exercise regularly, eat well, consider adding supplements to your diet and spend time outside. </span></span></p>Hannah Randallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15593808672008216623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775230854191737755.post-76976438160512670582023-01-06T14:01:00.002+00:002023-01-06T14:01:19.712+00:00Pietro Simone 100% Pure Himalayan Salt Paddle<p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="background-color: white;">(sample)</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> I’ve written about a Pietro Simone product before and loved the unapologetically luxe vibe of it (you can read my review of that product <a href="https://www.lippyinlondon.com/2021/11/pietro-simone-dewy-reboot-luxury.html#.Y7gQYnbP23A">here</a>) so I was looking forward to trying one of the brand’s equally unapologetically luxe tools; the <a href="https://pietrosimone.com/ukstore/product/100-pure-himalayan-salt-body-paddle/">100% Pure Himalayan Salt Paddle</a>.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmg_g8ANjdl_m6euR1qlHnyKIYEbHfTLjn0XsxZoDP1IyaDD700nhZ4_9oKKPi_TjwPidti13Pboe5rTFFPaFJaiN4eP_RCm78qw9Ql9TtfEv0Qmn6lBS7zGOL_34ETHJf7SQ9PlHrYJSJhdYMebv-d2BYymiOsb6A_Uxqjdul_adVTve-CP8-jpPSkQ/s1500/Body-Paddle-min.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmg_g8ANjdl_m6euR1qlHnyKIYEbHfTLjn0XsxZoDP1IyaDD700nhZ4_9oKKPi_TjwPidti13Pboe5rTFFPaFJaiN4eP_RCm78qw9Ql9TtfEv0Qmn6lBS7zGOL_34ETHJf7SQ9PlHrYJSJhdYMebv-d2BYymiOsb6A_Uxqjdul_adVTve-CP8-jpPSkQ/s16000/Body-Paddle-min.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As the name states, the paddle is made from 100% pure Himalayan Salt. The idea is that this pink salt helps to maintain an electrolyte balance, aid hydration levels, promote microcirculation and absorb dirt and ‘toxins’ whilst being naturally antibacterial. Himalayan Salt contains up to 84 minerals and salts that, in this case, Pietro Simone harness to nourish the body and skin.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Essentially, this is an exfoliation tool for the body. It’s rough to the touch, in the best way possible, because you can just tell it’s going to give a satisfyingly good scrub. To use, start upwards from the ankles, in a gentle oval-shaped motion, all over the body.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> If you’re someone who partakes in dry body brushing, the body paddle will probably interest you but it actually has a few different uses when used in conjunction with other Pietro Simone products:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">To Refine the skin, apply Pietro Simone’s Multi-Dynamic Body Refining Cleanser on damp skin, then use the paddle, applying gentle to medium pressure.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">For Mineralizing and Regenerating, apply the Pietro Simone Fierce Body Infusion on wet skin, then use medium to firm pressure with the paddle.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">For a Pro-Aging action, apply the Fierce Body Oil to dry skin and start from the ankles upwards.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">For help with cellulite, apply the Pietro Simon Body Oil <i>and</i> the Fierce Body Infusion, then use the salt paddle at medium to firm pressure in a circular motion where cellulite appears (or just ignore the cellulite).</span></li></ul><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I like the holistic idea of this product and I’m interested in the concept of salt used in a beauty regime. I don’t own the products mentioned above, however I have used the paddle with other oils and lotions and can confirm it is a lovely ritual, if you have the time for a little extra self care (and if you don't already have the time, try to make some!). While I don’t care so much for trying to rid my body of cellulite, I understand that it’s something that bothers some people, so fair play to them if they want to give it a go – if individuals see results from dry body brushing then they’d almost certainly see results with the salt paddle too.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Pietro Simone 100% Pure Himalayan Salt Paddle is £29 at <a href="https://pietrosimone.com/ukstore/product/100-pure-himalayan-salt-body-paddle/">Pietro Simone</a>.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 15.6933px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></b></p>Hannah Randallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15593808672008216623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775230854191737755.post-48621456070111550152022-12-24T15:21:00.054+00:002022-12-24T15:37:04.594+00:00The Body Shop Sale<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(post features affiliate links)</span></div>The Body Shop have an absolutely cracking sale on right now, so while.you're recovering from festivities why not grab a cuppa and have a scroll?

<span style="background: white;">As soon as winter rolls around it's like the
moisture is just sucked out of my skin all of a sudden, so this product couldn't
have been released at a better time.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Designed to be used after cleansing and toning,
the essence is designed to add an extra layer of moisture before you add your
serum and/or moisturiser.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Milky and light weight, the essence has been
formulated to prevent dehydration and is perfect for menopausal skin and
complexions affected by hormonal changes.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">It's rich in Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides,
along with something called Trehalose which mimics the skin's natural
moisturising factor, helping it to retain moisture, protecting against dryness
and reducing signs of ageing.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Probiotic Minerals including Magnesium, Zinc,
Copper and Iron calm and help to rebalance the skin and a Supergreen blend
including Kale Sprout extract and upcycled Olives is also in the mix, to fight
oxidation and encourage radiant, nourished skin.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigl0x0Hn7zoqQxBixf4aQpNhjJfmTWxb6Pcz5CaYMxL-pfvi9EEHT9YGQhzmFmtUFSw8Oyy5spzvFb4ZiIeiZBYwIi5DtjsO_73h0W-v3QeM_CCHu_WcK7kb1wQ91Zly3WMnPRSwvdUygPDLH7oIZRUW-2eJydpHs8LDShkzsnCRPDC8eWk8z_rNYAuw/s2048/nourish-london-moisture-boost-ceramide-essence-review-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1725" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigl0x0Hn7zoqQxBixf4aQpNhjJfmTWxb6Pcz5CaYMxL-pfvi9EEHT9YGQhzmFmtUFSw8Oyy5spzvFb4ZiIeiZBYwIi5DtjsO_73h0W-v3QeM_CCHu_WcK7kb1wQ91Zly3WMnPRSwvdUygPDLH7oIZRUW-2eJydpHs8LDShkzsnCRPDC8eWk8z_rNYAuw/s16000/nourish-london-moisture-boost-ceramide-essence-review-1.jpg" /></a></span></span></div><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><span style="background: white;"><br /></span></span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxZsS3ZuYIfy0DH9UIlW1cxXUY0X_J5XErbyLvwA4O2h_SD77Q9cO4MtU0r-eP4WbMlcXEpZWBwQ4XJuitUR77vj8usLmSjXrInyjbSvtJp3JAXnJEWEL-DUVbVEc0e7sqoo7F84GOk5Hyx5pr1D1dL5yFAT3nWxDUnXaMr4C23weB9gRu4iC22lYDWw/s2048/nourish-london-moisture-boost-ceramide-essence-review-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxZsS3ZuYIfy0DH9UIlW1cxXUY0X_J5XErbyLvwA4O2h_SD77Q9cO4MtU0r-eP4WbMlcXEpZWBwQ4XJuitUR77vj8usLmSjXrInyjbSvtJp3JAXnJEWEL-DUVbVEc0e7sqoo7F84GOk5Hyx5pr1D1dL5yFAT3nWxDUnXaMr4C23weB9gRu4iC22lYDWw/s16000/nourish-london-moisture-boost-ceramide-essence-review-2.jpg" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

Bark is a natural exfoliant that’s included in the essence to balance sebum
levels, unclog pores and also help with hydration. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Vege
Ceramides help to repair the skin barrier while increasing moisture, reducing
dryness and soothing the skin, while Hyaluronic Acid replenishes hydration and
nourishes the skin.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s
very, very lightly scented with natural Vanilla and Benzoin, for a slightly
sweet, warm and comforting fragrance that adds to the overall experience.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Speaking
of experience, this essence is a really pleasant product to use – I’m loving ‘sandwiching’
it between my products for an extra nourishing boost but I think I’ll also

Whether it's in a business meeting, on a date, or at a networking event, there are certain steps that you can take to ensure that you have their full attention. Here are five tips for always catching someone's attention and keeping it.</span></p><p dir="ltr"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCmCJEfBG74sMHylzytRXOIGWWjyfoN_KzmNpWQcwuAFqZEvae5SOtL-ahcbzVNihmN75vY1Mb095EgNdhk2kZvqJWJIDr0zbqgKVaGnXex_ZeQjMwZD2kNIKmjTC8duTu_tGbiB7M9qCGVbdR-rzM9qiWQOnvYUrR2ToyzpDKuG7mqY-TL9xCA1Yp8Q/s6240/pexels-violeta-neamtu-12927137.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6240" data-original-width="4160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCmCJEfBG74sMHylzytRXOIGWWjyfoN_KzmNpWQcwuAFqZEvae5SOtL-ahcbzVNihmN75vY1Mb095EgNdhk2kZvqJWJIDr0zbqgKVaGnXex_ZeQjMwZD2kNIKmjTC8duTu_tGbiB7M9qCGVbdR-rzM9qiWQOnvYUrR2ToyzpDKuG7mqY-TL9xCA1Yp8Q/s16000/pexels-violeta-neamtu-12927137.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Be Confident</span></h2><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The most important thing about making an impression is your confidence. People will take notice if you walk into a room with your head held high and your shoulders back. When speaking to someone, maintain eye contact and use positive body language like smiling and nodding. Confidence will help draw people in and make them more likely to remember you.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Be Prepared</span></h2><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is important to be prepared when trying to make an impression. Whether preparing for a job interview or <a href="https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/how-to-prepare-the-presentation">preparing for a presentation</a>, having all the facts straight will help avoid any embarrassing moments that could detract from the message you are trying to convey. Doing research ahead of time will also show the other person that you were willing to put in the effort even before they had noticed you.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Have Something Interesting To Say</span></h2><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In addition to being confident and prepared, it is also important to have something interesting or unique to say when trying to catch someone's attention. This could be an interesting story or anecdote related to what they are talking about or something interesting about yourself that sets you apart from others in the room. Anything that captures their interest and makes them focus on what you have said is sure to leave an impression in their mind! This has more to do with your storytelling ability than your look. Whether you're in <a href="https://www.883police.com/mens/jeans">regular jeans</a> or an expensive suit, if you're interested and have great talk, it attracts attention.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Be Courteous</span></h2><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Being polite goes a long way when trying to make an impression on someone else. Greeting them with respect, <a href="https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-active-listening-3024343">listening attentively</a> when they talk, and avoiding arguments can all help create positive impressions of yourself in the eyes of others. Not only will this show them that you care about their opinion, but it also demonstrates your own level of professionalism and respect for those around you – all important qualities when looking at how others perceive us!</span></p><h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Follow Up Afterwards</span></h2><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If possible, follow up afterward with either an email thanking them for their time or by sending them something useful related to the conversation, such as an article or link they may find interesting – anything that shows them that the conversation was meaningful but also useful! Following up afterward can leave a lasting impression by showing them how much thought went into making sure they got something out of it as well!</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Making a good first impression can be tricky, but if done right can go a long way toward creating lasting relationships with those around us – whether professionally or personally! By following these five tips – being confident, being prepared, having something interesting to say, being courteous, and following up afterward – we can ensure our presence leaves an impactful mark on anyone we come across! With these tips in hand, capturing someone's attention won't seem so daunting anymore!</span></p><br />Hannah Randallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15593808672008216623noreply@blogger.com0
