Super Facialist Rosehip Hydrate Facial Oil.

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to win a lovely selection of beauty products in a giveaway on beauty blogger Back To You Beauty‘s Instagram page. There were a couple of products from the brand Super Facialist, which I was super happy about as it’s a brand I’ve wanted to try for a while. It’s been a few weeks so I thought that I would write a little review on each of them, the first one being the Rosehip Hydrate Facial Oil.

wp-1701266868470Who are Super Facialist? 

“Launched in 2012, Super Facialist is a British-born skincare brand, expertly developed by a team of passionate skincare experts with many years of experience in the beauty industry. Our mission is to empower and equip customers to become their own super Facialist, boosting confidence to understand and listen to their skin.
Our tried, tested and loved formulations combine high-performance scientific ingredients, natural extracts and exquisite aromas to deliver premium formulations without the premium price tag and give customers that facialist feeling. Every Day.”

There are some absolutely gorgeous ingredients in this facial oil, check these out!

Rosehip Oil – Helps heal and rejuvenate skin

Passionflower Oil – Rich in omega 6 so rich in moisturising properties

Calendula Oil – Soothing, moisturising oil that helps defend the skin against free radicals

Raspberry Oil – Contains vitamin E and has anti-inflammatory properties

Sweet Almond Oil – Rich in oleic and linoleic essential fatty acids and vitamin B6 to condition and nourish

This wonderful facial oil is so super nourishing for my dry dehydrated mature skin. With all these ingredients including Brown Algae Extract, it really has been a delicious addition to my nightime skincare routine, helping to moisturise and hydrate my skin therefore giving me more glow the following morning. Just a couple of pumps on cleansed skin and massaged into my face taking in the lovely fragrance of raspberry rosehip and passionflower. It doesn’t leave my face sticky and oily, it sinks in like a dream so saves my pillow from becoming oily.

I also enjoy using the Rosehip facial oil when I derma-plane my face, usually every couple of months or so when I notice the old chin hairs reappear. I use a single-blade eyebrow razor to shave my face along with the facial oil moving the blade downward, and wiping it as I go. Face shaving is fab for removing not only excess hair but also dead skin cells too. It can be done without any product but I do prefer to use something to help the blade “slip” over the skin, and the oil is perfect for this job.

Anyway, that’s the first of two Super Facialist products I have that I’m reviewing here on Elegant Ageless Beauty, next time it will be the HEXAPEPTIDE 9 anti-ageing advanced Extra Firming Serum, so I hope you will come back for that.

Ko-To-Ha Rejuvenating Serum and Anti- Ageing Cream….

Welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty..

I’m back to share with you the final two products that were sent to me for reviewing here on EAB from Yoko at Ko-To-Ha a Japanese skincare brand here in UK. All the products are made using Shoyaku herbs. Ko-To-Ha says “Shoyaku is the Japanese for ‘active medicinal herb’ . KOTOHA’s products are formulated from combinations of oriental herbs from countries such as China, Japan or Korea” These herbs are: Ginseng, Peonia lactiflora, Chinese Angelica, Chinese Angelica, Mulberry Root Bark, Licorice, Green Tea, and Camellia Tsubaki. This is the Ko-To-Ha Rejuvenation Serum.

The serum has a pump delivery system so that you get the correct amount of product to use. Containing  hyaluronic acid to boost moisture in the skin, there’s Raspberry oil within to nourish and give a boost to the skin cells to give it a more plump appearance therefore making the skin less tired and grey looking, which is definitely something my skin needs at the moment. I have been using the whole range of Ko-To-Ha products on my skin over the last few weeks and I’ve really enjoyed them on my skin. This Rejuvenation Serum has done exactly what it says it does, it has livened up my dull looking complexion, my forehead is less lined, and I find that by “pressing” the product onto my face it gets to where it needs to be by penetrating into the skin. It does feel slightly sticky when first applied but within a few moments my skin is soft and smooth to the touch, ready for the next step in my skincare routine, which is the Ko-To-Ha Anti-Aging Cream.

With CoEnzymeQ10 added to Ginseng extract along with Kukui nut oil which contains Vitamins A and C and is high in anti oxidants, this is a rich and creamy moisturiser. There is also Rosehip oil, Pomegranate oil and Hemp oil within, making this ideal for mature/ dry skin. It sinks in like a dream when massaged gently into the skin, I use 2 pumps worth for my face and neck and I’ve found that plenty. In the few weeks that I’ve been using Ko-To-Ha Anti Aging Cream I’ve noticed that my skin is a lot brighter, certainly less grey looking when I wake up in the morning, and the dry patches that I’ve been suffering from have disappeared, at last.

If you would like to try these or any of the lovely products from Ko-To-Ha you will find them HERE.

B. Skincare Cooling and Soothing Mask

Welcome to Elegant Ageless Beauty, I’m Teresa.

Yes, I’m that age now when I’m using skincare for menopausal skin, skincare that’s created for late 50’s and beyond, and right now I’m not coping very well with the ageing process, I basically feel like crap! But thank goodness my skin can look alright with the help of some gorgeous B. Skincare which is available from Superdrug on the High Street or online. This is the B. Nourished Cooling and Soothing Mask.

There’s some pretty nice ingredients in the mask, including, Witch Hazel, Aloe Vera Leaf Juice, Sweet Almond Oil, Sesame Seed Oil, to name just a few.

My oh my I have enjoyed using this product! It does what it says on the tube, it’s so cooling on my skin. I suffer from redness on my chin and cheeks but once I apply this it calms the areas of redness considerably. It makes my skin look and feel smoother, and I think it mattifies my skin too, so I don’t look like a hot mess all the time. It applies to the skin like a dream and sinks in perfectly. I actually don’t know why it’s called a “mask” because you apply it and leave it on the skin. I press it onto my face so that the product delivers all the moisture into my skin. During the day, I can apply my foundation over the top, the mask acts like the perfect primer due to the mattifying properties, and keeps me moisturised for up to 12 hours! At night after cleansing, I apply a generous amount, after a few minutes I massage the excess into my skin and leave overnight. The following morning, perfect smooth hydrated skin.

Right now when you shop at Superdrug, there is a Better than half price on selected B. Skincare, and the Cooling and Soothing Mask is included in the offer, at just £4.45 reduced from the normal price of £8.99. HERE.

Thank you for stopping by today.

B. Skincare; Night Cream…

Hello lovelies, Welcome back to Elegant Ageless Beauty.

IMG_4707

So I have another gorgeous face cream from B. Skincare for your delectation. Today it’s the B. Nourished Night Cream. This gorgeous cream is an overnight treatment to enable the skin to repair itself and improve the look of the complexion, it also helps with hyperpigmentation that can happen as we age, or from sun damage.

IMG_4735

This is a very rich cream, a little goes a long way. Every evening after cleansing I apply either a facial oil or serum then apply the night cream on top. I use it over my face neck and decollatage, and in the 4 weeks that I’ve been using this night cream I’ve noticed my skin is still soft and supple and in fact quite “glowy” the following morning. It contains Hyaluronic Acid which means it gives long lasting moisturisation, and it’s certainly doing that overnight. I have to sleep with a cooling fan next to me because of hot flushes and I was finding my skin was dry the next morning, but since I’ve started using B. Skincare Night Cream my skin is still feeling hydrated when I wake. This really is a beautiful nourishing night cream for anyone over 50, and is available from Superdrug on the High Street or Superdrug online with 1/3 off the usual price at just £10.65 instead of £15.99 HERE.

This product is a PR sample and was sent to me for review on Elegant Ageless Beauty, I have not been paid to write this review.

Thank You for stopping by today.
