CocoaBamboo Exfoliating Treatment ClayMask for Face and Body* (£53, 200ml)
As the name would suggest, this mask is a multi-tasking treatment for use on the face and body. The combined benefits of Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Cocoa fruit powder and Bamboo powder will leave skin feeling soft, supple and looking radiant.

The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the Cacao fruit powder help protect and repair the skin from damage and premature aging and soothe redness and blemishes, improving the skin's complexion. While mineral rich Moroccan lava (ghassoul) clay helps in the treatment of dehydrated, sensitive skin and enlarged pores, as well as helping to build and strengthen elasticity of the skin.


To Use: Use the spatula provided to take some product from the jar. Massage onto dry face or body to boost circulation and let the gentle bamboo exfoliants get rid of dead skin cells. Allow to dry and let the masking phase work its magic. Rinse off after 15-20 minutes, leaving your skin beautifully soft and nourished.

 

My Thoughts: Rather than covering my entire body at once, I used the mask in sections on different days. I first used the mask on my face (see photo above, excuse the messy hair!). The mask has the same consistency as butter, solid in the jar but melts on contact with skin. I massaged the mask onto my face to let the exfoliating bamboo work its magic to remove dead skin cells. After rinsing off my skin was left feeling super soft and deep moisturized, with pores reduced in appearance. On separate occasions I used the mask on just my legs or just my arms as it can get a bit messy while waiting for the mask to do it's thing, I never found the mask to dry as such. Applying the mask in the shower or bath (without water) is a must! Again I found my skin was left nourished and soft.


I really like the scent of this mask. It has a slightly chocolatey smell mixed with the sweet citrus scent of mandarin and orange. The jar is huge and even after using multiple times there is still loads left, so definitely worth the investment of £53 if you are considering the purchase.

Look Fantastic Beauty Box - March Unboxing

It has been ages since I've bought a Look Fantastic Beauty Box but after seeing some spoiler pictures on Facebook I decided to use my glossy credits to get this months box. Normally the box cost £15 including postage, with my glossy credits it took the price down a little to £9.35. The box this month is has a lovely white and blue design on top with a pinky purple base, which I will be keeping and reusing. It also comes with a copy of the latest Elle Magazine. From Rituals is Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk Soothing Hand Balm  70ml (£9.50)- a lovely floral lotion made with Shea Butter and Organic Rice Milk, the lotion replenishes and rejuvenates hands. Rituals are always a welcome brand I enjoy getting in boxes. Eos Lip Balm  7g (£6.50) in Strawberry Sorbet - Not actually a brand I've used before, but a handy balm to have in the makeup bag. Probably not something I would take out and about with me as I find the shape awkward for travel, I prefer small stick balms. T...

Great weather calls for great sun protection with Alteya Orgaincs

I'm loving the great weather we've been having so far this week....has summer finally arrived!? With temperatures up to 30 degrees in Scotland and soaring up to 38 in parts of England by Thursday, sun protection is a MUST if you are planning to leave your house even if all you do is sit in your garden. Really you should be using an SPF product daily regardless of the weather...yes even if its raining! As an outdoor worker (postwoman) a good SPF is top of my list all year round but especially at this time of year! Alteya Organics Whole Body Sunscreen * (£13.40 for 90ml) is enriched with emollient botanical butters and oils to hydrate the skin and protect against damaging UVA and UVB sun rays which cause sunburn and premature aging. So what is SPF and why do we need it? SPF or sun protection factor measures the level of protection a product will give you and how much longer it will take your skin to burn when wearing sunscreen vs not wearing sunscreen. Alteya's Whole...

Sukin Blemish Control Kit

My skin is quite prone to spots and blemishes so I really wanted to find a product that would help to control breakouts and reduce the redness I have. I've used Sukin products before but never knew they had a blemish control range until recently. The  Sukin Blemish Control Kit * (£19.95) contains 4 products to help calm and clear the skin, three are 50ml and one is 15ml so decent sized samples, and handy for travelling with. Clearing Facial Wash purifies the skin while removing dirt and impurities with Quince and Pomegranate. Pore Perfecting Toner refines and refreshes the skin with Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Mint. Spot Banishing Gel helps to fight breakouts with Willowherb, Salicylic Acid and Eculyptus, while the  Oil Free Moisturiser clarifies and balances the skin with Willowherb, Quince and Moringa. Willowherb is said to fight the causes of blemishes in just 30 minutes! And while I didn't see a huge improvement that quickly, I did notice a big diffe...
