RESTYLANE Day Moisturizer review

I won Restylane moisturizer on a twitter competition, and have been using it for several months now.
When i first tried it, I found initially it was quite fraganced, but after a while, the perfume didnt bother me.
What did I think of the product? It's a lovely moisturizer, not too thick or heavy for my skin. Light enough to wear under makeup but still feels like you have a plumped skin feel. It is put out as the companion product of Restylane (as in the dermal filler Restylane). Although of course it doesnt take wrinkles away, it leaves a nice feel on the skin, and is a great day cream for all skin types.
Restylane® Day Cream is a moisturiser suitable for all skin types. The DMS lipid structure in Restylane Day Cream means it has a high biocompatibility with your own skin, which helps build up the skin’s natural protective barrier to reduce water loss and withstand premature ageing.

Restylane Day Cream contains active ingredients that improve the skin’s own detoxifying ability, resulting in soft and healthy skin. The addition of stabilized hyaluronic acid enhances the long lasting moisturising effect of the cream.
Active ingredients:
Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid, DMS, Niacinamide, Creatine, Acetyl Carnitine, Piperine and Ceramide 3.
Suggested usage:

Apply to thoroughly cleansed skin in the morning. It is recommended to use a sun protection cream SPF 15 or higher, when using Restylane Day Cream on a daily basis.

Soléo Organic Sunscreen review

Soléo Organic Sunscreen is an all-natural, organically produced skin care solution that is safe for humans and the environment. Soléo has been innovatively formulated according to Naturopathic principles without the use of any chemical UV-absorbers, titanium dioxide, or synthetic preservatives.

Soléo is innovatively designed to block both UV-A and UV-B solar radiation, while providing natural moisturising care for your skin. Fortified with botanical extracts that are naturally sourced. Soléo All Natural Sunscreen is a consumer-safe and environmentally friendly solution formulated to be a part of any daily skin care regiment.

The Soléo Difference

NO chemical UV-absorbers
NO synthetic preservatives
NO titanium dioxide
NO benzoates
NO petrochemicals
NO artificial fragrances
NO nano ingredients

What did I think? I liked this product. It has little to no odor, it's definitely not greasy on the skin which is a big plus. It doesn't give the white shine either.

Very easy to use, all you need to remember to do is roll the tube in your hands to mix the ingredients all together, and apply like your regular sunblock. So far, it hasn't made me itch, and while I was out in the sun, there was definitely no burning occurring :) It is recommended for sensitive skin and for children (not for use on babies under 6 months) and I concur with this.

I won this product on a facebook competition from benaturallyou. I would highly recommend it to all my readers looking for a natural alternative to chemical based UV block.

Jurlique Blogger night

I was recently invited to the Jurlique Sydney beauty launch for their new anti-aging range.
First impressions: a lovely clean store, gleaming wood surfaces, and friendly looking staff.
We were greeted with Chandon champagne, and Fiji water (two of my faves) and delicious canapes were passed around by waiters.
I already knew one of the ladies who is a manager at Jurlique, so it was nice to see a friendly face.
I sat with the national training manager who spoke at length with me about Jurlique, it's history, and its products. I also met with the global marketing manager and the lovely ladies from TORSTAR.
I was invited to sit down with my consultant Song, who asked me about my skin, and gave me a demonstration of various Jurlique products.
I tried a wide variety of their products, including their world famous rose cream, but my fave is the jasmine body range (spring in a tube)
We started off with the Jurlique exfoliator which you can use either wet or dry, it has a nice creamy texture and leaves the skin feeling soft and looking bright, and not dry or red (which happens to me a lot with exfoliators as I have sensitive skin)

Body Exfoliating Gel

A skin smoothing exfoliating gel for the body, rich in herbal antioxidants and gentle walnut shell to lift away dead skin cells and impurities to reveal smooth, soft and more radiant skin.

• $47.00
• Soothing Foaming Cleanser
  • Concern:
    Redness/Irritation
  • Skin Types:
    Sensitive
  • Benefits:
    Purifies + soothes
    
• Song decided the soothing cleanser best suited my skin, and it is a combination of a gel and balm like texture, leaving the skin clean, but not dry.

Jurlique prefers a spray on toner, and really when you think about it, it makes sense, you use less, and it hydrates the skin leaving it prepared for moisturizers,

The Benefits:

• Gentle mist that calms and soothes.
• Leaves sensitive skin feeling refreshed and hydrated.
• Provides natural antioxidant protection.

The Ingredients:

• Marshmallow intensely hydrates and softens the skin.
• Chamomile Oil helps hydrate, calm and rebalance dryness.
• Grapefruit Seed acts as a natural antioxidant.

Next, the brand new baby for Jurlique, the purely anti aging range, which is perfect for someone such as myself, starting to show concerns with aging. The range consists of serum,moisturizer, and eye cream. The texture is not too thick, or heavy, but you can feel it moisturizing the skin. If you were going to apply makeup, i would suggest waiting about 5-10 minutes to let the product absorb.

Purely Age-Defying Ultra Firm and Lift Cream
