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.

SUSANNE KAUFMANN BODY LOTION REVIEW

I was first introduced to Susanne Kaufmann products back in

 May 2018 via a Skins Cosmetics Beauty Box.

Having never heard of her or her brand my research revealed that she

is the founder of the Austrian Organic niche skin and body care line

of the same name.

Formulated for targeted results, each product is packed with organic,

 energy-rich oils and locally sourced active plant ingredients - 

including Chamomile, Sage and St. John’s Wort, recognized for their 

nourishing, regenerative effects.

I reviewed the Susanne Kaufmann Moisturising Mask and it was without doubt

an extremely effective deeply replenishing and intensely moisturising mask.

To read my full review

I recently had the opportunity to try another of her products via the 

2020 Skins Cosmetics Box.

(Watch out as I have a Give-Away of this box happening very soon)

The Susanne Kaufmann Body Lotion, 

as is the rest of the range, a very 

simply packaged product and it certainly gives you that feeling of a

 clean, pure organic product.

The active Key ingredient list for the Body Lotion could be taken from a

 fine Tea menu, as it contains:

Chamomile

Chamomile has an anti-inflammatory, skin-refining, and antiseptic effect.

 It also improves cell renewal.

Honey

Contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids and micronutrients like zinc

 which fight free radicals.

Poppy

Contains polyunsaturated fatty acids which provides rich care.

Sage

Sage has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and balancing properties.

The light lotion pampers the skin and leaves it feeling velvety soft 

and was especially suited to the hot humid climate of Durban

Honey and plant-based hyaluronic acids lastingly nourish the skin. 

Formulated for all skin types it has a very soft delicate 

"hardly there" fragrance.

This light lotion preserves the moisture balance of the skin and 

is absorbed quickly.

Susanne Kaufman products are Free From :

Parabens

Paraffin

Sulphates

Silicones

Cruelty Free

and made in Austria

Whilst I have enjoyed using the generous 50ml size and a little of the 

product goes a long way, I wouldn't purchase, not because the product

under performed/delivered, to the contrary, I personally cannot justify

 such a "big" spend on my body, on my face YES, but I'm not at that point 

yet for my body and at my age I doubt I ever will be, but don't let

that put you off, as it is a good body lotion

ELEMIS PRO COLLAGEN ADVANCED EYE TREATMENT {REVIEW}

The #1 British skincare brand Elemis, for me, conjures up a vision of

Luxurious premium face and body products used in some of the most beautiful and exquisite salons and hotel Spas around the world.

It's also a brand that I've never really used before, other than a massage oil many years

ago, but recently I received three products that were gifted and not by the brand.

My eye area has always been an area of concern, so I'm always willing

to spend and try new eye products that speak to me and everything on the front of this

box piqued my interest.

Elemis

Pro-Collagen 

Advanced Eye Treatment

This anti-ageing eye serum forms part of a much wider range of Pro-Collagen products that ELEMIS have on offer and upon further investigation I discovered ELEMIS have an extensive collection of eye products including an eye mask, which I have bought and will

be including in my November reviews.

This advanced eye treatment targets the fine lines and wrinkles around the delicate eye area, smoothing skin for a more youthful appearance. 

Formulated with protein rich actives and a super active Padina Pavonica 

and Blue Flower Linseed that help tone and firm, whilst a sophisticated Amino Acid complex attracts and locks moisture deep into the skin. 

The combination of exceptional moisturisation and regeneration supports fragile skin without overloading it.

This fragrance free, weightless gel feels comfortable on the skin and it is lightweight and you can hardly tell that you have any product around the eye.

This anti-ageing eye serum is ideal for 30's + and can be used both morning and evening, however for my age I would recommend this product to be used daily in the morning and then I personally would use a heavier more active anti-ageing eye serum at night.

Unfortunately I was somewhat underwhelmed with this product for the first few weeks

of use and I was dreading writing this review, however I have done a full 180 on my

opinions, which again confirms that with most skincare products you have to give the product a good 8 weeks before forming a fair review and as you know I often only write my reviews after 12 weeks of daily use.

Initially I felt this product was one of those ineffective, notice no difference, type of eye products, I persevered and I started to notice, not with the deep lines, but with the fine lines, as they became way softer and without doubt, the skin under the eye took on a smoother appearance.

My only criticism of this product- is the nozzle - don't depress fully as you will dispense way too much product and it's not easy to slightly press it down, so I do feel that over the weeks I have wasted product.

Whilst I would recommend this eye product I personally wouldn't buy another,

as ELEMIS have so many other wonderful eye products that I would rather opt to

try something different.

Talking of something different I now have 6 ELEMIS products in my possession,

so expect more reviews in the future and as always they will be honest and properly

tested.
