So whether you’re looking for a physical, chemical or hybrid product (if you’re unsure of what the difference is then you can read about that here), the following list includes a combination of all three. There are many of us who don’t really give sunscreen that much thought and tend to just pick up the best bargain we can find with a decent SPF rating but when you consider how important it really is,…

Manuka Doctor Apinourish Restoring Night Cream Review
The Manuka Doctor Apinourish Restoring Night Cream is a product that I tried quite some time ago but for some strange reason, I never got around to writing a full-length review on it. It’s kind of crazy really because even to this day it’s one of the most effective night creams I’ve ever tried. At the time when I first started using it, I was also trying out two other products from the Apinourish age-defying range so I decided to do a review of all three of them together. But to be honest the brief review on each product just didn’t do enough to express how truly effective these products…

FOREO UFO Mask Review – My Newest Coolest Skincare Accessory
I don’t know about you but for me when it comes to new skincare gadgets I’m very easily excited and it doesn’t take much to persuade me to make impulsive purchases. My bank account will be the first to confirm this and my latest splurge on the FOREO UFO Mask is undoubtedly my most excessive to date. Yes, it’s pretty expensive but with so many people raving about this thing, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one to see what all the fuss was about even if it was somewhat of a guilty expenditure. Plus I really couldn’t help myself, my SOS (shiny object syndrome) took over and…

Foreo Vs Clarisonic – The Battle Of The Cleansing Brushes
If you’re into your facial cleansing gadgets then you’ve probably already faced the dilemma of Foreo vs Clarisonic and debated over which one you should pick. They’re both at the top of the cleansing brush market and they both do pretty much the same thing but is one more effective than the other. How do you decide which one to buy or if you’re already using one, should you switch to the other? It’s actually a very common question so me being me I had to try them both. I originally started out with the Clarisonic Mia 2 which I used and loved for quite a long time but when…

The 24k Beauty Bar – Make Room Jade Roller, You’ve Got Some Competition
So, I’ve come to the conclusion that I have a real problem and my purchase of the 24k beauty bar has just confirmed it even more so. You see I suffer from what’s generally known as shiny object syndrome, you know that syndrome where whenever you see something that looks shiny or pretty, you go “oooh, I have to have that and I have to have it right now”. Well, that’s me to the extreme point where I think I need to start a dedicated group called SO Anonymous, seriously people, I need help. My dresser is now starting to look like the skincare product version of Mr. Magorium’s wonder…

U Skin Vitamin C Serum – A Cheap Serum That Actually Works
The U Skin vitamin C serum is a serum that I really wanted to review for a couple of reasons. The first being its extremely reasonable price and the second being its popularity (more so in Europe) and its high review ratings. There are actually a whole bunch of these reasonably priced serums and this one came up amongst some of the favourites. This is the first one of many that I wanted to try to see how they compared to the higher priced branded vitamin C serums and really to see if any of them were good enough to even replace them. I should mention before I continue that…

Best Hyaluronic Acid Products For Skin
If you’re looking for the best hyaluronic acid products to give your skin that extra boost in moisture then take a look at some of the following popular choices. Hyaluronic acid is an excellent ingredient when it comes to anti-aging especially with its ability to retain high levels of moisture so it’s no wonder that it’s become a popular serum choice all on its own. Finding a good one, however, is not necessarily as easy as you may think as I mentioned before in this post about the benefits of hyaluronic acid and with so many out there to choose from the task becomes even more of a challenge. But…

Superfoods For Skin – Why I Can’t Get Enough Of Bioglan Supergreens
There are tons of superfoods for skin out there but I came across a product that I just had to write about and that’s Bioglan Superfoods – Supergreens. Now, this product is not exactly sold for its skincare benefits but with so many vitamins and minerals in it, it was bound to have an effect on skin condition. It’s not just topically applied products that are important when it comes to good skin care, our intake (or lack thereof) of important skin benefiting vitamins and minerals can have an enormous effect on the condition and appearance of our skin. An Accidental Discovery This was actually a completely accidental discovery that…

Best Inexpensive Vitamin C Serum
You don’t always have to pay a fortune for good skin care products and I thought it would be a good idea to look into the whole inexpensive range starting with the best inexpensive vitamin C serum. I’ve already written about the top running vitamin c serums but the top brands seem to steal all of the spotlight and I wondered if there were any cheaper versions that could compete or at the very least come close to them. I spent a lot of time looking into them and believe me, there’s a never-ending list of them to get through but there were really only two that stood out against…

Foreo Luna 2 Review – My New Favourite Cleansing Brush
I really wanted to do this Foreo Luna 2 review because, like many other people, I had no idea just how different the Foreo Luna was to other cleansing brushes, in fact, I didn’t even realise it had an anti-aging side to it. I had already invested in a Clarisonic, which by the way I fell in love with (full review here) but I couldn’t help be wonder how the Foreo Luna compared especially with the added anti-aging feature. If you’re new to cleansing brushes then I have to say they really are a very effective cleansing tool and once you’ve used one, it’s very hard to go back to…
