Hi, I'm Suzy from Suzy Hearts Beauty and I'm honoured to be writing a guest post for Stacey. I love a good
haul and I'm always jealous of Stacey's amazing purchases. That girl
knows how to shop! I have so much respect for Stacey sharing her
cervical cancer story and think she is super brave. Wishing you a speedy
recovery Stacey :) I hope you enjoy my post!
I've
been trying some new skincare bits lately and have found some really
great ones so I thought it would be good to let you know about them.
The Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel
has been getting a lot of blogger love this year so I knew I had to try
it. I'm well into my cleansing balms and butters as I find them the
most hydrating for my dehydrated skin so when I found out this is not a
foaming gel cleanser, but rather a balm, that was another tick in the
box for me. Quite interestingly, this is a pink thick gel rather than
your average, colourless or white product so it was a pleasant surprise
when I first dispensed it! This has a balm texture that turns into an
oil when massaged into the skin. It feels really luxurious and has a
beautiful scent of camomile and rose. I use a damp muslin cloth or
flannel to remove the cleanser and on contact with water, it turns into a
beautiful light, milky texture. It's fab at cleansing the whole face,
including the eye area, and it leaves my skin feeling clean and
hydrated.
Another product I've been loving that contains rose is the Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Gel Mask.
When I took the lid off this, I couldn't help but think it looked like
one of those cheap tubs of hair gel! It's a really lovely product
though. It contains so many variations of rose stem cells and other
extracts including rose hip seed and rose water so the aroma of this is
gorgeous. I find the gel texture very soothing and cooling to apply to
the skin and there are no uncomfortable sensations when the mask is
doing its work. I let this sit on my skin for around 10-15 minutes then I
remove it with a damp muslin cloth/flannel. My skin always feels so
refreshed and a lot more moisturised after using this. You can use this
as an intensive overnight treatment too but I haven't tried it that way
yet.
For
a long time, I'd been curious about the Indeed Labs skincare range,
especially the Hydraluron range for boosting moisture in the skin. I
decided to bite the bullet recently while it had a third off in Boots. I
get a lot of scarring on my chin from hormonal breakouts so I decided
to try the Pepta-Bright Even Skin Tone Enhancer to help with that issue. It's described as a moisturising cream-serum
so I've been using it as the serum/oil step in my routine. It feels like
a regular cream moisturiser in formula and I apply it to my whole face,
avoiding the eye area. It sinks in really quickly so I can apply the
next step of my skincare pretty much straight after. I've noticed the
texture of my skin feels a lot smoother from using this and it has
helped improve the clarity of my skin. I feel like the skin looks
fresher and there is less redness around my nose and chin. It's not a
miracle worker but I've definitely noticed improvements.
The second product from Indeed Labs is the newly released Hydraluron Moisture Jelly.
This is the moisturiser step of your skincare routine but as the name
suggests, it's a gel rather than a cream. I find this to be really light
on the skin yet it provides a massive dose of hydration. My skin
instantly feels better with this on! It doesn't leave your skin looking
shiny and the smoothness and hydration lasts all day. I love the
applicator on this product too. It's a pump that you squeeze from the
top and bottom and a small amount of product pops out of the little hole
in the top. No need to keep sticking your hands into the same pot like
most moisturisers.
The final skincare product I've been loving is the Clarins UV Plus Sunscreen Multi-Protection SPF40.
Being fair skinned, a high SPF is necessary to protect my skin but it's
also a requirement when using the Pepta-Bright product above as I guess
it is resurfacing the skin and continually exposing fresh skin to the
harmful rays. I love this SPF as it's really light, sinks in quickly and
doesn't leave a white cast or greasy finish on the skin. Perfect!
What skincare products have you been loving lately?
