Review: Derma Forte ScarMed from Farmaline

farmalineOh, we all love French pharmacy products, no? Oui, we do! So Farmaline lends a helping hand on getting those brands over to your doorstep.

Their staples are hard to find French skincare and beauty products – they have an awful lot of them, together a very comprehensive selection of European brands. I got Scarmed, a silicon scar cream from Derma Forte, which is actually a Dutch company.

Product review: B. Rescued Energising Balm

b. rescued energising balm

Let’s get one thing straight: I’ve never been a great fan of anything that is called a balm. I blame that on my beauty pet hate: the BB creams.

So along came the B. Rescued Energising Balm – to break my skepticism – I mainly tried as it has “energised” on the name, and let’s face it, most mornings I need some energy. And I was pleasantly surprised.

Product review: Balance Me Natural Protection Moisturiser SPF 25

natural protection moisturiser spf 25

I was familiar with Balance Me, but I will admit I didn’t really know the extent of their range or the natural goodness of their products. Good thing they had a lovely skin analysis event at their concession at Debenhams Oxford Street and I got to not only have my skin analysed but also find out about their products and try a few!

Balance Me has recently launched their Natural Protection Moisturiser, which has SPF25, just in time for the warmer (we hope) season.

And for the new season, they were launching quite a few crackers, some available now and later this year.

Product review: Pure Gold Collagen shots

Pure Gold Collagen

I was quite curious to try collagen shots for quite sometime, I have to admit. it seemed like an easy way to deliver skincare – by drinking a 50ml shot a day – and was very happy to try Pure Gold Collagen.

During 13 days, I took a daily collagen shot (maybe a missed one or two!) and I could notice a slight improvement on my skin condition to look and touch, mainly in texture – it felt plumpier – and also brighter.

Product review: Magnitone Pulsar skin cleansing brush

If there ever was a right time, that is when the Magnitone Pulsar skin cleansing brush came along. Days before I was approached by them, I was actually thinking about getting a cleansing brush to add to my skin routine.

You are probably no stranger to my skin problems – acne (still active! Argh!) and a few scars so I thought it was time to give a brush a go to see how they could help me.

Magnitone is a face a body brush with four speed settings: sensitive, deep clean, massage and exfoliate.

I made this Instagram video showing the four different modes!

Product review: Proactiv oil-free moisturiser

Proactive oil-free moisturiser

Proactiv is a name most people will be familiar about when it comes to acneic skin care.

I am trying the Proactiv Oil-Free moisturiser, which is very welcome on my breakout prone skin.

Many a time I talked about my acne and scars, how difficult my skin is and how some products just don’t agree with it. I am happy to say this moisturiser is very light – you don’t really notice it’s been applied as it is quickly absorbed, delivering a good amount of moisturisation.
