About me

I'm a 39 year old mum of one, living in regional NSW. I'm all things skincare and love trying all new products on the market. My skincare regime is rapidly growing towards a 10 step (don't tell the husband) . Me: Very fair skin with cool undertones, usually the lightest colour available. Very dark brown hair with a sprinkling of silvers throughout, now with an uneven wave that I hate (cue straighteners and curlers) with a full frizz in humid or wet weather. Bright blue eyes with thick dark lashes, and dark under eye circles with a few lines and puffiness. Very dry sensitive skin on my body, so I love a good hydrating cream/butter. Natural nails kept manicured, love a good polish, cuticle cream and hydrating hand cream. Belly covered in stretch marks from having a giant baby. Big feet with especially dry heels no matter how much cream I put on, still looking for my HG heel product. Sensitive teeth that need more whitening. Not taking any supplements yet but am interested by them.

Avene Hyaluron Activ B3 Concentrated Plumping Serum is designed to plump, hydrate and tighten the face and surrounding areas. After 4 weeks of trialling this serum I can say that it does. Avene recommends 1-2 drops of serum applied to your face, neck and décolletage. I personally found I needed 3 drops. The serum absorbs very quickly into the skin with no sticky feeling and no greasy residue. The serum is housed in a glass bottle with a pipette to dispense the serum and the serum itself is fragrance free. Avene say this is safe for sensitive skin and can be used all over the face including the eye contour, however I did experience breakouts for the entire 4 week trial. I did see a noticeable improvement in my skin during and after the trial.

Avene is a brand that I don’t have much experience with apart from their Thermal Water. This is now going to change. Hyaluronic Activ B3 Firming Cream is a renewing day cream that is designed to plump, hydrate, brighten and tighten the skin and I can say that after a few weeks I could see a visible difference. The cream is a thicker consistency in a refillable glass jar and is fragrance free. It absorbs quickly into the skin and leaves no residue. After 2 weeks of use I definitely noticed an improvement in my fine lines and my skin looked smoother and healthier, however I did experience breakouts that continued for the entire 4 week trial. I would recommend this cream for anyone looking for effective and affordable products but be aware that even though it’s designed for sensitive skin you might still react.

Du’it Vitamin E Face Cream is a fast absorbing face cream that even after just a short trial is providing results. Fine lines are appearing more plumped and my skin feels like it’s more hydrated. I would love to see the results after a month or so of use as I feel some of my discolouration is changing and appears slightly lighter already. As someone with sensitive combination skin I didn’t experience any reaction and there was no fragrance. I still experienced a bit of shine in my T-zone but am yet to find a day cream that leaves me completely matte. I will continue to use the remaining product and see if there are more benefits longer term.

I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised by the Sukin Skin Relief Facial Moisturiser. This is not a facial moisturiser that I would have purchased but I think I’ve found a little gem here, and my son has already stolen it. Sukin has provided a pump bottle making the lotion contamination free. The cream itself is thick and about half a pump does my face and neck comfortably. There is no fragrance or nasties added to the lotion and it helps soothe sensitive irritated skin. I personally felt the appearance of my redness reduced with use. I’ll continue to use this as a night cream but due to my oily forehead I’ll use something a little lighter during the day.

Plunkett’s Vita E Natural Vitamin Brightening Facial Lotion is a high potency Vitamin E lotion that brightens and smooths mature skin and also protects against pollution. The Vitamin E lotion is able to be used morning and night and after continuous use will help even the skin tone, increase moisture and help restore luminosity. When using the lotion I use it after cleansing, toning and serum but before my moisturiser. I found two - three pumps is enough to cover my face and neck comfortably and the lotion absorbs in very quickly without any residue. The lotion is fragrance free. I haven’t been using this long enough to see any results yet but will be continuing to use.

Plunkett’s Nutri-Synergy NS 21 Skin Repair Treatment is a natural cortisone free treatment for irritable or dry skin. I have eczema prone skin that is currently flared up and itchy. I was hesitant to apply it directly to my eczema in case it made it worse but the itching was driving me insane and I figured I had nothing to loose. Within about 2 minutes of applying the cream my itching stopped. The cream feels like it has a bit of a barrier product that leaves a light coating over the skin which I’m guessing helps lock in moisture. After only a few uses my skin is feeling calmer and less irritated and more hydrated. I’m looking forward to seeing long term results with continued use.

Hemptuary Nourishing Face and Body Oil is a natural hemp and Manuka oil product that helps hydrate and nourish you skin. It is suitable for use on the face and body. The face and body oil comes in a sturdy glass bottle with a glass dropper. Packaging recommends 2-4 drops warmed between your hands then applied. Upon application you get a fresh lemongrass scent that is strong but not overpowering. The oil absorbs instantly into my skin unlike any other oil I’ve used before. My skin felt soft and hydrated after use. I find the fragrance too strong for use on my face but I’ll happily continue to use it on my body.

Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Overnight Serum is unlike anything I have ever used before. Botanical Repair is a lightweight repairing serum that helps to hydrate and strengthen your hair and repair and prevent split ends. Simply pump two doses into you hand and spread through your mid lengths and ends. The serum absorbs quickly and has a light fragrance and consistency. In the morning my hair was significantly softer, smoother and felt healthier with just one treatment. I’m looking forward to seeing the results with continued use.

A’kin Miracle Shine Conditioning Hair Mask is like an at home treatment that’s mean to hydrate and nourish. Packed full of vitamins and good oils it’s meant to help reduce breakage and increase moisture. The mask comes in a cute little tub with a gold lid. Packaging says to use generously. For use I shampooed my hair and applied a generous amount to my mid lengths and ends. I then used a wide tooth comb to distribute and remove any knots then let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. After rinsing and towel drying my hair I noticed it was significantly drier and knottier than usual. After letting my hair air dry my hair is extremely frizzy, dry and knotted, definitely not how my hair usually is with normal conditioner.

Batiste Green Tea & Chamomile Dry Shampoo is made with 100% natural extract. Batiste claim this is lightly fragranced but I disagree, I personally find it strongly fragranced. Upon spraying into my hair I was surprised to see no white residue, it applied clear which I absolutely love. I have dark hair and hate how dry shampoo dulls it. After application I waited a few minutes then massaged it into my scalp. Instantly my hair looks clean and freshly washed. It removed all traces of oil from my hair which I have yet to find in any dry shampoo. If this was available in a fragrance free version it would easily be a desert island product.
