REN Perfect Canvas Clean Primer * is a lightweight silicone free primer which has a water-like consistency rather than a gel or serum which is what I was expecting. Clean Primer is enriched with probiotics to encourage cell renewal and plump skin, Alpha-Glucans to balance your microbiome (which in turn helps reduce breakouts) and Agave Extract to reduce shine leaving behind the perfect mattified base for makeup. Dermatologists have proven that clinically, after only 15 minutes of application, 77% of women had smoother skin and 100% of the women showed smoother skin after 28 days application, while 67% of people showed a reduction in wrinkles. If that's not a top quality primer then I don't know what is! As far as longevity for makeup, I have found REN Perfect Canvas to be very effective. My makeup definitely stayed put for longer than when I applied without this primer. I found the primer to be slightly tacky on the skin when first applied but this soon disappears to leave be...

A weekly exfoliating peel with invigorating Birch, the Weleda Pearl Body Scrub * stimulates circulation and supports skin renewal, giving skin a fresher more even appearance. Made with tiny granules of natural wax pearls, meaning no nasty mirco plastics which harm the environment! The granules are gentle on the skin  yet effective at exfoliating, leaving behind skin that is soft and smooth.  This body scrub has a lovely fresh uplifting scent...  zingy with grapefruit, citrus and cypress, which is perfect for a morning shower to wake you up. Priced at £10.50 for 150ml it is an affordable body scrub and one that will be making a regular appearance in my weekly routine. *gifted to me to review as part of Love Lula Accredited Blogger Program
