My FAVOURITE things

By Terry skincare -
luxurious, beautiful rose scented range


Crabtree and Evelyn handcare -
I love the La Source and Citrus fragrance
Leaves your hands incredibly soft and your head calm

My favourite ever ever fragrance -
a recent find, a light, airy slightly citrus scent
like an alluring breeze  - nothing like it

My new cream bag
(accesorize baby accesorize)
I've got a slight addiction to nude-toned bags!


Ren rose bath oil - 
 Softly scenting your lovely deep warm bath
 with the soothing scent of rose (and doesn't irriate my skin)


L'Oreal eye makeup remover -
removes my more than enough eye makeup
Very gentle and has a nice scent to it


Probably the weirdest but the best til last
Dettol wipes -
 they clean surfaces easily and leave everything fresh, spotless and citrusy
(+ they are £1 from the pound shop - bargain!)

REN skincare


Mayblossom cleansing gel, Moisture comfort cleansing milk, Matte balancing fluid, Hydra-calm multi protect day cream, Mayday rescue balm, Eye gel

REN : the range

What they say :
REN's facial skincare range is formulated using the most advanced natural skincare technology, with only 100% natural active ingredients. From our purifying facial skin scrub through to night treatments the products are designed to help the skin achieve its perfect balance, particularly when used together. In addition, REN products avoid synthetic fragrance and colour, PEGS, parabens and propylene glycol.

I love the fact that they guarantee there are no harmful chemicals or ingrediants that could have little known long term effects. 

 I love this range because I have sensitive skin - it is all very gentle with a very soft natural scent and calming feeling after using them. 

 It doesn't irritate my redness or make my face burn (as some skincare products do!)

Mayblossom cleansing gel -
This is for combination to oily skin
It feels refeshing, cooling and takes makeup off well - lovely for sticky summer days.

Moisture comfort cleansing gel -
This is one more for me in the winter when my skin can feel tight and dry because of air-con and central heating.
It is a light cream (not like actual milk!) and leaves skin feeling really soft.

Matte balancing fluid -
This is their day cream for oily skin. It is okay but doesn't completely stop oiliness, however it is nice and light for days when your not rushing round.

Hydra-calm multi protect global cream -
This is specifically made for sensitive skin.  It feels moisturising but not heavy, just the right consistancy for a calming day cream.  I use this one the most.

Mayday rescue balm -
A rich balm which I like to use on my cracked heels and dry joints.  It is quite greasy so is more of a treatment.

Eye gel -
Very cooling under irritated hayfevery eyes, nice and light, probably not particurlaly anti-aging but then Ren have an eye cream designed for that.

Overall:
Lovely products with a range for every skintype
Not the most high-tech of skincare
(for instant tranforming changes)

Good for young or sensitive skin

Price point is excellant - the cleanser come in large cylinders and last absolutely ages for their £17.

If your skin needs a rest or seems a bit confused by all the skincare you are trying to throw at it - try Ren.
