DERMALOGICA NECK FIT CONTOUR SERUM {REVIEW}

Since my very early 20's I have cared for my skin daily and what started out
as a basic skin care routine has over the years become more focused
to include targeted products and of course serums etc.
As always your skincare application should never end below the chin
 but must always be taken down the neck and onto on your décolleté
 (chest area).
For many months I have been wanting to introduce a specific neck 
cream and to be honest I should have introduced one into
my regime a couple of years ago.
I was looking for a product that was more than just a cream, I was
looking for something special.

Recently my search finally came to an end after being offered a free
60 minute Dermalogica facial.
It was during that facial that I was introduced to the 
Dermalogica Neck Fit Contour Serum.
The therapist concentrated on my neck & décolleté
especially when it came to exfoliation and this helped greatly to
smooth and brighten the skin, which gave me a good foundation
for the commencement of my neck serum journey.
 
This firming serum is a skin care workout for your neck and décolleté. 
With the help of the roller applicator, this product trains the neck to be tighter, 
smoother, more toned and contoured. 
Flex Lift Contour Technology acts like an invisible mesh to immediately
 tighten skin. 
Plant-based science and a novel tripeptide ​deliver Retinol-like results,
 visibly smoothing, firming and toning skin. 
Resurrection Plant-inspired polysaccharide helps strengthen 
skin’s moisture barrier for a smooth, even appearance.
How to use:
Turn applicator ON. 
Tilt chin up and roll applicator over entire neck, 
from the décolleté up to the jawline. 
Gently squeeze tube to dispense a thin layer of serum while rolling.
 Return the applicator to the OFF position and continue rolling it in an 
upward motion over skin to massage in the serum.
 Keep chin up until serum dries. Then apply your usual moisturiser. 
Use this serum morning and night.
Can be used on all skin types.
Dermalogica says the tube should last approx 6 weeks if used twice
a day, however I would say this is a cautious estimate as I have
been using for longer than 6 weeks and I still seem to have
plenty left in my tube.


In short, this serum for the neck was exactly what I was looking for
as it seriously delivers on all of its claims.
It visibly lifts, tightens, firms and tones the neck and décolleté
Smoothes fine lines and helps protect skin against pollution
Reduces the appearance of skin ageing.
(Do not be put off with the extra work and time needed to apply the
product, as its really easy and I soon incorporated into my routine
and I enjoy the process of application)

This product is a definite keeper, as I have been 
super impressed with the visible results and would highly recommend if,
 like me, you feel that its time to focus on your neck area.

QUICKIE PRODUCT REVIEWS {QPR'S} FEBRUARY 2020


I cannot believe that it's already time for my February QPR post.

I have two products from the Italian skincare brand BioNike to tell you about, specifically for those mature skins experiencing hormonal changes.
Its also estimated that during the next decade 65% of cosmetic sales will
come from the more mature user.
 I have said on my blog many times that BioNike is a brand that you really
 cannot go wrong with when looking for effective, affordable and easily
accessible products for sensitive or allergy prone skins.

I also have a slightly disappointing product from my normally much loved
Dutch wellness brand
 RITUALS...



1.

Brand : BioNike
Product : Defence My Age Renewing Night Cream
Price : R345
Size : 50mls


Launched last year the BioNike Defence My Age range comprises of 3 products
that are all beautifully packaged in midnight blue glass, which looks extremely Luxe
and I have been lucky enough to put 2 to the test.

Formulated to strengthen skins resilience and enhance your beauty after the age of 50
 by improving skin’s natural ability to cope with ageing and effects caused by those
inevitable hormonal changes.
Based on the Skin Resiliency Complex, it is enriched with Japanese cedar extract 
and every dry skins's best friend, Shea Butter and Hyaluronic Acid.
 Formulated for mature skin to counter skin dryness, dull skin tone 
and loss of skin compactness caused by a drop in hormone levels.
The rich, soft and fast-absorbing texture comes with a delicate floral-marine scent
and is a range to certainly consider if your skin is looking for hydration,
suppleness and radiance.




Verdict :  8/10

2.

Brand : BioNike
Product : Defence My Age Intensive Renewing Serum
Price : R415
Size : 30mls
Available : Exclusively at Dischem


If you haven't yet introduced a face serum into your beauty regime and you are over 
the age of 50 then I highly recommend you look into this one.
Serums always contain the most concentrated of active ingredients.
As with the other 2 products in the My Age collection the serum is based on the
 Skin Resiliency Complex, it is enriched with Argan extract to enhance the 
effects of both the night and day treatments. 
The serum can be used daily under both.
 It has a silky, fluid texture and as with the day & night cream it has 
the same divine floral-marine scent
This trio of products work together to counteract skin dryness, 
loss of radiance, compactness and suppleness caused by a 
drop in hormone levels. 
The skin is left smoother, radiant and more supple.


Verdict :  8/10

Brand : RITUALS
Product : RITUAL of HOLI
CREAM ON 
NOURISHING BODY CREAM
Price : £6.90
Size : 100ml


I have over the last couple of years purchased several products from
The RITUALS of AYURVEDA range and have raved about them, however
part of my 2019 LOOKFANTASTIC Beauty Advent Calendar contained
a 100ml size of The RITUAL of HOLI Body Cream, which sadly 
I'm not going to rave about.

Infused with the scent of Pink Grapefruit and Flamingo Flower I found the fragrance 
to be sweet, delicate and pleasant.
The formula of the body cream is where my disappointment lay and despite
the claim that it's a rich, nourishing cream I didn't find it to be so.
I  don't have particularly dry body skin and despite applying to slightly
damp skin as they recommend my skin just didn't feel well nourished.





Verdict :  4/10
