Exclusive Skincare Launch for the Next Generation of Peptides

  • Dermoi are killing it in skincare, including cell communication technologies.
    Cells within the skin are constantly communicating with each other. They have to sense their environment and work collectively to respond in the right way.Cells have their own means of sending and receiving signals and are always on the look out. Advanced skincare understands these signalling mechanisms and uses them to provide anti-inflammatory, wound healing, and re-building messages to skin cells.

    Most of us have heard of peptides, but newer technology is taking peptides signalling a step further and producing outstanding scientific results.

    EVENSWISS – interleukin signaling experts

    EVENSWISS is the creator of a groundbreaking and patented signalling technology called Dermatopoietin.

    Dermatopoietin, which is equivalent to a polypeptide naturally found in human skin called ​ interleukin-1-alpha, starts a cascade of signals from the surface of the skin and into the dermis.

    These signals generate a strong increase in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid – by up to 90% in 2 weeks.

    The technology is backed by 6 clinical trials that show statistically significant improvements in fine lines and wrinkles, skin density, under eye bags, cellulite, and hair loss.

    Conventional antiaging products are limited by the poor penetration of the skin barrier and therefore have minor effects in the dermis. ​ They include chemical penetration enhancers which can facilitate the penetration of pollutants and microorganisms into the skin.

    Dermatopoietin is a first-of-its-kind technology that does not need to penetrate the skin in order to work. ​ The technolopgy gives a message to outer skin cells which allows them to generate signals within the skin for regeneration.

    I tried the following products:

An intensely hydrating, anti-aging serum with patented Dermatopoietin technology. Dermatopoietin transmits a signal from the skin’s surface to the dermis. This provides a rapid increase of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production by skin fibroblasts.

Secrets of Glo | Beauty Review

Secrets of Glo is a new beauty brand from actress, model and musician Glo Butane. Handmade with love, her serum can be used in conjunction with your existing beauty regime, or alone. All the ingredients are natural and UK sourced. There is approximately a one month supply in a bottle. It is for crows feets, laughter lines, veins…basically any problem you are having with your skin. It minimises the look of age lines. You leave it to soak in for 10 minutes and then massage it in and then apply your regular moisturiser.

Glo has always been passionate about essential oils, but she did not develop the serum until she was pregnant with D-R, when she noticed lines and veins popping up everywhere, and could not use her regular products because they had unsafe ingredients that could affect her child’s development. Because this formula is natural and it works it has been a part of her skincare regime ever since.

This is a brilliant serum and I highly recommend it. A great, natural product that really works.

The Glamour Trio: Cult Classic Beauty Review. Elnett, Corn Silk & Max Factor

Every woman needs a bit of glamour in her life. These Amazon bestsellers may be retro and glam, but do they work as good as they look? Let’s find out.

First up is a classic, Cornsilk Satin Loose Powder . Powder is very underrated. There was a point where not many people wore it because it was considered old fashioned. It is making a comeback now solely because nothing else really gives a flawless finish the way powder does. This powder sets make up beautifully and makes it last all day. It is brilliant stuff and won’t leave you looking like a ghost. Recommended. There is a reason it is a classic. A natural looking powder that works on light and darker skin tones. It does give a matte look but not too much, it still looks natural.

beautyreview

Next is Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara in Black. Anyone remember those adverts which called Max Factor the ‘make up of make up artists’? The brand has always had a certain amount of glamour and movie star attachment. This mascara really works. You can use a little for stunning lashes or a lot for full-on false lash glamour. Is quite hard to get off but a small price to pay for beautiful lashes.

L’Oreal Elnett UV Filter Hairspray is another classic. I remember my mother using Elnett when I was growing up. I always use a hairspray with a UV filter as my hair goes really blonde in the sun if I don’t. The sun is also very damaging to the hair and ages it. We remember this about our face but not everyone remembers their hair. Elnett has stood the test of time because it really works and then it just brushes out. The one for coloured hair accentuates your colour’s radiance. They also have ones for extra hold and extra radiance. It is not too heavy on hair or sticky. Just brilliant hairspray.

 

What do you think? Are you a fan of any of the above?

Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Shower Power Cream Review

Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Shower Power CreamI hate waxing. I just don’t understand it. Why go through the pain? You have to grow out the hair before you can wax it, and your skin ends up looking like a plucked chicken.

Which is why I love cream hair remover. It is so easy to use and leaves your skin super smooth. so I was excited to review Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Shower Power Cream. I had never tried it before and had high expectations. It says on the packaging that it gives you smooth legs for up to seven days and only take five minutes to remove all visible hair. Big promises.

You apply the cream with the spatula provided in a thick, even, layer and then get into the shower and leave it on for three minutes, avoiding excessive exposure to water and then rinse off. After you have rinsed, your skin is incredibly soft and moisturised with no hairs. I am very impressed.

The cream is gentle and kind to skin. It has a natural blend of key ingredients: mineral rich clay, mango butter and acai palm. I use it on my legs and bikini line. My skin looks amazing afterwards and it lasts for the promised week.

This cream is one of my favourite products of 2013. It is easy-to-use and it works. Which is what every women wants in a beauty product: convenience, reasonable price and a great product. This is the best way to remove unwanted hair. A must buy.

Nair Brazilian Spa Clay Shower Power Cream is available from Boots.com
