Guinot Product Review

Guinot is a brand that I have been lucky enough to stumble across due to work. Their products are advertised as being all-natural and animal-friendly (no animal testing), which is great news for those of us who are trying to feed our skin with the best products possible, and avoid nasty chemicals which can often produce horrible side effects. After attending their Christmas Press Launch (at the amazing Ham Yard Hotel- SO COOL) back in July, I have been eager to try out all of the goodies that they gave me, and see whether they really work. 

I'm afraid this is only part 1 of a two episode series of my reviews of these products, because they gave me soo many goodies that I haven't been able to try them all out yet! So here are the three that I have been absolutely lusting over the past few weeks...

1. Douche Mirific Shower Gel 

This is honestly the only shower gel that I have ever used which has a sweet clean smell that lasts all day long! Most shower gels smell lovely whilst you are applying them in the shower, but after you've got out dried yourself with a towel and put on some clothes you can barely smell the scent. I love the smell of passion flower, so this is a definite keeper for me, plus it managed to keep my skin fairly moisturised, which is an added bonus as I have horrifically dry skin.

2. Masque Yeux Instant Eye Mask

After attending a beauty event around a year ago and having an expert's opinion on the health of my skin (they used this really cool UV machine that highlights where your skin is most dehydrated), I found out that my under eyes are the most dehydrated aspect of my face, with the rest seeming pretty healthy and normal. When they showed me this product at the Guinot press launch I couldn't wait to try it, as I had been making the rounds trying every eye cream you could imagine. This eye mask is perfect for hydrating those dark bags. It also managed to get rid of some dark marks I had developed by the crows feet of my eyes, maybe due to over wearing liquid eyeliner? I'm not too sure. But all in all, a really good product that I'd recommend. 

3. Nutrologic Nourishing Body Balm

This one says what it does on the tin. Not anything much I can particularly rave about, but all-in-all a fairly good body butter. But unfortunately, I'd recommend various creams and lotions that are a fraction of the price, but that's just my opinion.

Hope you've enjoyed these three product reviews! I'll be back with part 2 sometime soon!

My Skincare Routine

1 & 2. Rodial Glamoxy Snake Mask & Rodial Dragon's Blood Hyaluronic Mask

Both of these masks are a-maz-ing! You can feel them working as soon as you've slathered them on. I'd recommend using them once or twice a month.

The Glamoxy is a peel-off mask that you leave on for around 15 minutes. When I first used this I could feel it working its magic,  with a slight sting it was doing just as it said, cleansing my pores and removing all dirt. I use it before bed and wake up with great results the next day. You may find that it occasionally pulls out some nasty spots due to its deep cleaning, but after a day or so my skin is spot-free and brighter than ever! 

Rodial's Dragon's Blood is also a top pick of mine. Cover your face with a smooth layer and let it sink in, I also suggest using this before bed after you've wiped off all your makeup from the day. The next day I could feel my skin was super smooth, and also plump. This is a deffo for summer holidays when you are trying to perfect your au naturel look. 

3. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

I know I've gone on about this product A LOT, but I can't help it! It's truly one of the best makeup removers I've ever used, and it's perfect for my sensitive skin. An added bonus is that it doesn't dry out my face, usually, waters and tonics removers do this, but my skin is left super smooth and clean.

4. Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel
Mix this with water until it's foaming, then apply and scrub all over your face, then wash it off with water, easy! I've seen a dramatic improvement in my skin since using this cleansing gel, my skin has cleared up and looks healthy, rather than it's usual dry self!

5. Guinot Eye Cream
I started to use this product around two weeks ago. Initially, I was looking for an eye cream as I've developed dark patches around the crows-feet of my eyes. This gel is perfect for getting rid of unwanted bags and those dark marks. I need to continue using this to prevent unwanted wrinkles and dark circles! 

6. Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser
As I've previously said, my skin has a habit of drying up quite a bit. I have to moisturise my legs daily to prevent that scaly look! I use this on my t-zone, as I often find it peeling. It's perfect to throw on just before bed or when you get up in the morning as it's a light cream, unlike many other heavy and thick face moisturisers. 

I'd highly recommend any of these products to friends and family!
