Fantastic Minimal Makeup Introducing Pearl Beauty

Posted on by

I have a new makeup obsession: Pearl. I have tried their Multi purpose lip and face stick, their cream highlighter, and their “The One” multi-purpose brush. I use the cream highlighter pretty much every day now and always get compliments. High praise for someone who doesn’t really wear makeup much.

Their multi-purpose face and lip stick is so easy to use and stays put. It’s amazing. Ditto for the brush which allows seamless application. I won’t be without Pearl Makeup ever again. I am in love.

Whether you are incredibly confident with applying makeup or just learning, Pearl Beauty products are user friendly, mistake proof, made with clean ingredients, vegan, and cruelty-free.

An organic, eco-friendly alternative to the plastic body mop…

Posted on by
Small changes can make a big difference – when you’re ready for a new body mop, the Soap Saver Pouf provides a practical, natural solution.

Hailed for years as a great bodycare basic to ensure a lovely lather, the body mop has been a favoured accessory in bathrooms and shower rooms but the one problem we now recognise is that it’s made from plastic.
Thankfully, there’s a natural, organic alternative – and what’s more, it’s not just an effective body mop – its innovative design means it’s a soap-saver too!

The Soap Saver Pouf features organic mesh ruffles surrounding a mini soap saver bag to create a totally natural body mop that’s kind to your body and the environment.
Made from organic cotton mesh, it’s totally plastic-free and will gently exfoliate whilst also ensuring you get the most from your soap bars.
Simply chop some pieces from your favourite natural soap bar and pop them into the soap saver pouch in the centre of the Pouf.
The Soap Saver Pouf can be used in the shower or bath or you can even use one in the kitchen for dishwashing (not the same one as in the bathroom!!).

Pop the Soap Saver Pouf in the washing machine from time to time to ensure you keep it fresh.

SKINTELLIGENT: What you really need to know to get great skin

SKINTELLIGENT

What you really need to know to get great skin

By Dr Natalia Spierings

 

Published by Vermilion.

Trade Paperback priced £16.99

The first entirely evidence-based skincare guide written by a real expert that explains how skin actually works, how to navigate the confusing world of Big Skincare and what you really need to do to achieve healthy, glowing skin – throughout your life.

 

This is the first book about skincare based on fact, not fiction

 There is no such thing as ‘essential’ skincare; almost all skincare should be viewed as a ‘luxury good’ and therefore, in fact, absolutely not essential!

  • Scared of using Vaseline? Don’t be – it’s the best moisturiser on the market, also the cheapest, it doesn’t ‘clog pores’ or cause pimples and it is totally safe to use. Plus, it is in every single moisturiser on the market anyway.
  • You don’t need to buy a separate product to use around your eyes, just use your regular moisturiser around your eyes; ‘eye creams’ are a scam
  • Facials are a waste of time and money
  • When it comes to skincare, less is always more
  • Expensive skincare is never better than cheaper skincare

 

Consultant Dermatologist Dr Natalia Spierings of Channel 5’s Skin A&E has announced the launch of her new book, Skintelligent: what you really need to know to get great skin, published by Vermilion. Dr Natalia Spierings is here to shake things up in the skincare world and isn’t afraid to tell the truth and call out the BS about all things related to skincare. Drawing on a decade of work as a practicing consultant dermatologist, helping thousands of people achieve great skin, she will empower you with the knowledge to navigate the confusing world of skincare so you never get fooled into buying hundreds of pounds of disappointing cosmetic skincare products again. If you have a problem with your skin – whether it is pimples, pigmentation, overly dry skin, large pores or whatever – the problem you have needs to be viewed as a skin abnormality or even a disease and therefore cannot be corrected with a three-step skincare regime you buy at a department store.

 

Dr Natalia Spierings said: “I wrote this book with the aim of answering all the hundreds of questions I get every day from my patients and through social media about skincare; there is too much misinformation being thrown at us about skincare from people who just don’t know what they are talking about, merely to sell products. It’s time to empower the skincare consumer with facts and the correct information so we all stopping wasting our money (and our hope) on products that don’t deliver on their (often outlandish) claims.”

Using an unbiased, evidence-based approach and cutting through the pseudo-science, she explains:

–        how skin actually works

–        which skincare products are proven to be effective for all of major facial skin complaints

–        what trendy skincare ingredients do or don’t do what they promise and why

–        what you can do to manage everything from acne to rosacea to melasma as well as wrinkles and sun-damage

 

Bringing together years of experience treating a huge range of skin problems, Skintelligent is the only book you will ever need to read to get great skin.

 

“Buying this book will be a great investment; following Natalia’s advice will save you money on your skincare whilst helping you to look your best.”

Dr Andrew Birnie, Consultant Dermatologist & Founder of Altruist Sunscreen

 

“Dr Natalia Spierings is a terrific consultant dermatologist with a very clear – and utterly science-based — approach to skincare which many people will find refreshing.”

Alice Hart-Davis, founder of thetweakmentsguide.com

Only One in Ten Brits are Happy With Their Skin | We Love Hada Labo Tokyo

Posted on by

ONLY ONE IN TEN OF BRITS ARE HAPPY WITH THEIR SKIN
New Report reveals that women feel under pressure to look perfect all the time and explains how we can be kinder to ourselves

Hada Labo Tokyo

British women constantly feel that they need to keep improving their appearance according to a new real world research with 1,000 women aged 35 and older, commissioned by Japan’s leading skincare brand, Hada Labo Tokyo, and the brains behind the next generation skincare innovation new to the UK.

On a more positive note, most women (60 per cent) say they want to look good for themselves rather than for anyone else, and almost two thirds want to look good for their age rather than trying to look younger. In fact, role models who have embraced their age were chosen as examples of women ageing well, with 57 per cent of respondents naming Helen Mirren as their skincare goddess, with Joanna Lumley second (42 per cent), and Davina McCall (40 per cent) third.

The pandemic and post pandemic living has caused more than a quarter of women (27 per cent) to drop their daily skincare routine, but over half (55 per cent) have managed to stick with it, with a surprising number of Brits (18 per cent) finding that their commitment to a routine has improved. Getting back out into the world without the Covid-19 restrictions is now prompting more of us (64 per cent) to bring our skincare back into sharper focus.

According to the survey 68 per cent of British women take time out for skincare with over half following the cleanse-tone-moisturise routine, while 38 per cent use a scrub or wash followed by a moisturiser. Around 17 per cent of women opt for plain soap and water, and 25 per cent use a facial wipe instead of a cleanser.

Common skin complaints

Fewer than one in ten of us (a paltry seven per cent) always feel happy with our skin’s appearance.[1] So what’s causing us to feel uncomfortable in our own skin?

Hada Labo’s survey poll[2] shows that women in the UK can experience a wide range of different skin health issues. For around a quarter of us, sunburn (27 per cent), acne (24 per cent), or eczema (24 per cent) are a problem, while almost a fifth of us (18 per cent) get cold sores and nearly one in ten suffer with psoriasis (9 per cent) or rosacea (8 per cent).

Even more concerning is that even women who don’t necessarily suffer from a skin disorder are conscious of certain issues with their skin including:

  • Dryness: 60 per cent
  • Dullness: 42 per cent
  • Dark eye circles: 35 per cent
  • Fine lines: 27 per cent
  • Uneven skin tone: 27 per cent
  • Redness: 27 per cent
  • Itchy skin: 26 per cent

 

The benefits of next generation hyaluronic acid innovation

As well as the natural ageing process both the perimenopause and menopause can have a considerable impact, with over a third (34 per cent) of women saying that their skin felt drier then. Skin expert, Gina Akers explains: “Dehydration of the skin is a very real issue, especially as we get older. To keep skin looking healthy and supple, we need to add hydration. We need water-lock formulas to ensure deep hydration that actually lasts.”

Leading women’s health expert Dr Catherine Hood points out that we do need to change up our skincare regimes as we get older: “With increasing age the body starts to produce less hyaluronic acid and what it does produce is lower quality. This results in drier, more dehydrated skin. To keep skin looking healthy, smooth, and supple, we need to add hydration and it is important to realise that a moisturiser alone will not do that particular job.”

Hyaluronic acid is a clear gel that’s made naturally within the body. Its job is to lock in water to keep our skin, tissues and eyes hydrated. An impressive number of us (43 per cent) do opt for skincare products that contain hyaluronic acid, with more than half (52 per cent) knowing something about the science behind this skincare ingredient. Seven out of ten women were aware that hyaluronic acid can help with skin appearance, with a third (33 per cent) of women deciding to incorporate it into their skincare routine after seeing it on social media.

The hero product: Beauty gurus Caroline Hirons and Nadine Baggott are both long-time fans of Hado Labo Tokyo’s next-generation approach to hyaluronic acid, and demand for the range’s products is such that one is now sold every two seconds around the world. Frost editor-in-chief Catherine Balavage is also a huge fan. The best-selling range in Japan Hado Labo Tokyo has been hailed as a skincare game changer due to its multi-layered hyaluronic acid formulas, which incorporate anti-ageing ingredients like retinol and collagen.

The Japanese beauty philosophy is rooted in the idea that products work best in harmony with the skin. Inspired by this philosophy, the Hado Labo Tokyo skincare range uses quality ingredients with no unnecessary extras which could overwhelm the skin.

Hada Labo Tokyo have created an exclusive multi molecular combination of different types of hyaluronic acid, called Super Hyaluronic Acid, which provides twice the moisture-retention capacity of normal HA by anchoring to the different layers of the epidermis. It’s no wonder that recent research data found that 80 per cent of women noted that after just four weeks of using the range their skin’s texture was improved while 74 per cent saw an improvement in skin elasticity.

FAST PRODUCT SUMMARY:

The Red Line

Hada Labo Anti-Aging Eye & Mouth Cream

Hada Labo’s Deep Wrinkle Corrector Eye & Mouth Area Cream has four types of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and retinol in a golden coloured cream that’s suitable for sensitive skin. Use it after cleansing in the morning and at night, patting around the eyes and mouth to help reduce deeper wrinkles.

Here’s a fast spot light on the clever, next generation hyaluronic acid ingredients used in the Hada Labo Red Line Range that the skin scientists as Hada Labo swear by:

Sodium Hyaluronate: A water-binding ingredient used for moisturizing and hydrating. The molecule can hold up to 1000 their own weight in water. Sodium Hyaluronate can replace some of the water lost in the epidermis.

Sodium acetylated hyaluronate: This is called super hyaluronic acid. It was developed with the aim of raising affinity with the skin based on hyaluronic acid. Compared with the same concentration of hyaluronic acid, it is characterized by a much greater capacity to retain moisture in the epidermis and good skin affinity. Because of this, it can keep skin moist for long times.

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid is hyaluronic acid broken into smaller bits. The small molecules can easily penetrate and help replace some of the water lost in the epidermis, and potentially fight wrinkles and other signs of aging.

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer: A modified form of skin-replenishing hyaluronic acid attached to a polymer structure that keeps it within skin’s uppermost layers longer, allowing for enhanced hydration. This creates a “sponge” effect to restore the skin to its fuller, more youthful appearance and smooths out fine lines.

Hada Labo Anti-Aging Super Hydrator Lotion

Hada Labo’s Anti-Aging Super Hydrator Lotion is much more than a silky, fragrance-free drink of water for your skin. The power-packed lotion contains four types of hyaluronic acid Sodium Hyaluronate; Sodium acetylated hyaluronate; Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid; Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer; offering multi-layer hydration, plus anti-aging ingredients collagen and retinol. After cleansing, pat the lotion over your face, neck and decolletage before you apply your moisturiser.

Hada Labo Anti-Aging Wrinkle Reducer Day Cream

Hada Labo’s Anti-Aging Wrinkle Reducer Day Cream with Super Hyaluronic AcidTM, Collagen and Retinol offers multi-layer hydration with four types of hyaluronic acid Sodium Hyaluronate; Sodium acetylated hyaluronate; Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid; Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer; plus collagen and retinol. The supersmooth, fragrance-free cream is designed to be used in the morning, after the Super Hydrator Lotion to help lock in moisture for a glowing complexion.

Hada Labo Anti-Aging Repair Night Cream

Hada Labo’s Anti-Aging Repair Night Cream is packed with more than 20 carefully blended active ingredients, including three types of hyaluronic acid – Sodium Hyaluronate; Sodium acetylated hyaluronate; Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid; retinol and an intensely regenerating complex of tetrapeptide-5 and collagen to reduce wrinkles and restore radiance and hydration. With its ‘Lock-in Moist’ formula, skin retains more moisture.

Hada Labo Anti-Aging Facial Sheet Mask

Hada Labo’s Anti-Aging Facial Masks double the levels of skin hydration, leading to a tighter, brighter, and smoother complexion and a more youthful appearance. The best part is that it feels like a real facial, which gives you that radiant skin treatment look and feel, without having to leave the house.

The White Line

HADA LABO WHITE LINE HYALURONIC ACID SCIENCE: Here’s a fast summary on the smart, must have, hyaluronic acid ingredients used in the Hada Labo White Line Range bottled up by the Japanese skin specialists that users swear by:

Sodium Hyaluronate: A water-binding ingredient used for moisturizing and hydrating. The molecule can hold up to 1000 their own weight in water. Sodium Hyaluronate can replace some of the water lost in the epidermis.

Sodium acetylated hyaluronate: This is called super hyaluronic acid. It was developed with the aim of raising affinity with the skin based on hyaluronic acid. Compared with the same concentration of hyaluronic acid, it is characterized by a much greater capacity to retain moisture in the epidermis and good skin affinity. Because of this, it can keep skin moist for long times.

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid is hyaluronic acid broken into smaller bits. The small molecules can easily penetrate and help replace some of the water lost in the epidermis, and potentially fight wrinkles and other signs of aging.

Hydroxypropyltrimonium hyaluronate: A conditioning agent for skin and, helps deposit active ingredients on skin.

Hada Labo Gentle Hydrating Cleanser

Hada Labo’s Gentle Hydrating Cleanser gives the rest of your skincare toolkit a chance to work their magic on a squeaky clean skin. This creamy cleanser contains three types of hyaluronic acid, formulated to cleanse, protect and lock in moisture, leaving skin silky smooth.

Hada Labo Super Hydrator Lotion

Hada Labo’s Super Hydrator Lotion is a light lotion that penetrates the skin within seconds. With deeply moisturising active ingredients, including Super Hyaluronic AcidTM, its LOCK-in-MOIST formula seals hydration inside the skin, stopping water from evaporating, to hold back the appearance of wrinkles.

Hada Labo Absolute Smoothing & Moisturising Cream (Day & Night)

Hada Labo’s Absolute Smoothing & Moisturising Cream may feel light and fluffy but it harnesses outstanding power. Its high concentration of Super Hyaluronic AcidTM allows it to intensely moisturise and smooth the skin, leaving it feeling refreshed, radiant, and super soft. Suitable for sensitive skin, it also helps put the brakes on the aging process.

Hada Labo Intense Hydrating Skin Plumping Gel

Hada Labo’s Intense Hydrating Skin Plumping Gel is a luxuriously delicate gel, combining the complexion enhancing properties of a cream and a serum. Its high concentration of Super Hyaluronic AcidTM makes it intensely moisturising, filling in the skin to create a smooth, ultra-soft complexion.

Hada Labo Smoothing Anti Fatigue Eye Cream

Hada Labo’s Smoothing Anti Fatigue Eye Cream intensely moisturises and smoothes the skin around the eyes. It contains Super Hyaluronic AcidTM, to reduce wrinkles and signs of fatigue, as well as collagen and pink silk tree extract to rejuvenate and firm the skin, and caffeine to eliminate under-eye circles and puffiness.

Hada Labo Moisturising Sheet Mask

Hada Labo’s Moisturising Sheet Mask is saturated with serum containing three types of hyaluronic acid to intensely moisturise, revive and smooth the skin. Simply unfold the mask and carefully position the eye, nose, and mouth openings as you gently press the mask to your face. Leave it on for 15 minutes before removing gently, with no need to rinse.

Frost Loves Katherine Daniels Skincare | Mile High Heroes

Posted on by

Whether it’s a short trip or a long-haul flight, flying can wreak havoc on our skin. With summer holidays fast approaching, it’s time to consider our in-flight skincare!

Katherine Daniels Co-Founder and Skin Specialist Kirsti Shuba says, “When cruising at 30,000 feet, your skin is exposed to recycled air, increased air pressure and decreased humidity. Plus, you’re never going to be closer to the sun than you are on a plane. All of these factors can be a skin recipe for disaster – think dull, dehydrated, puffy, parched, lined complexions…”

“These mile high heroes will tackle the three key in-flight skin saboteurs to ensure you arrive at your destination with a fresh, healthy, hydrated complexion.”

1. Air Pressure = Puffiness

“Low cabin pressure, along with a reduction in your circulation from inactivity and lack of muscle movement will cause puffiness – you’ll notice this in your feet, fingers, ankles and especially around the eyes. Apply our Katherine Daniels Instant Effect Eye Masks (£65 / 4 treatments) and leave on for at least 20 minutes! You’ll arrive looking like you’ve had a good 8 hours sleep. Plus, the handy packaging means you can take a single pack on board and activate it when you need to!”

activated right before use, these salon-strength eye masks work to intensely hydrate, firm, plump, revitalise and lift the skin around the delicate eye area.
Sea Kelp – a mega hydrator and antioxidant, packed with a mineral complex to stimulate your skin to act more youthfully.
Mineral Complex (Calcium and Sodium) – awaken the moisture channels in your skin to hydrate, increase cell energy and cell regeneration. Skin will become visibly denser, firmer and plumper.
Hyaluronic Acid – hydrates the upper layers of your skin and maintains optimal moisture levels.
2. Low humidity = Dehydration

“The amount of moisture present in air cabins is around 20% – in the UK it’s around 40-60%. Lack of humidity draws moisture out of your skin, leading to dehydration, which causes skin to appear dull, parched, lined and even greasy if you have an oilier skin type. Say goodbye to dehydration by applying a thick layer of our Katherine Daniels Rehydrating Cream (£49 / 50ml) and leave it to sink into your skin. After 10 minutes massage in any remaining cream.”

this intelligent, salon-strength moisturising cream delivers a serious hit of immediate and long-term hydration for smooth, plump skin with renewed density and radiance.
Intelligent Aqua Bio Complex – reduces water loss and improves distribution of hydration within the skin. Fortifies the skin’s natural barrier to maintain plumpness and improve skin density.
Turbo Moisturising Complex – to give your skin an advanced, rapid hit of hydration.
Hydranov – faster and 3x more efficient than Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate and restructure the skin.
Seaweed Extract (Rhodella Viollacea Complex) – a fast-acting, long-term hydrator to oxygenate your skin and restore radiance.
3. UV rays = Premature Ageing

“You’ll need your SPF when you arrive, but you also need it in-flight… Plane windows are designed to block out UVB (burning rays), but they don’t block out UVA (ageing rays), which are the main cause of premature ageing. After you’ve massaged in your Rehydrating Cream apply a thin layer of our Katherine Daniels Daily DNA Defence SPF30 (£55 / 50ml) to protect your skin from UVA rays and blue light pollution.”

an invisible veil of advanced photoaging technology to defend, repair and protect your skin from the damaging effects of UVA & UVB rays, blue light and pollution.
UVA & UVB Filters – both physical and chemical broad-spectrum SPF 30 to protect skin from UV rays.
Active DNA Defence and Repair Enzymes (from Micro Algae & Plankton)
These powerful anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-free radical enzymes block cell damage, protect against and repair DNA damage from UV, blue light and pollution exposure.
Chamomile Extract – calms and soothes the skin
