Ren Jojoba Microbead Purifying Facial Polish

Facial exfoliators are the latest addition to my skin care regime. I had never really used anything but the simple face wash before and I knew that wasn’t cutting the mustard anymore. My skin while it wasn’t bad was in desperate need of a good exfoliator. I had heard a few things about Ren so I trotted off into Arnotts to have a look. If you haven’t browsed around the skin care section in Arnotts you really are missing out. It has so many different brands and they girls are always very helpful, but don’t blame me when you walk out with full bags and an empty wallet.
I had initially went in to buy the Micro polish cleanser but I was advised that this wasn’t the best product for my skin. While the micro polish cleanser has had rave reviews it is more suited to less sensitive skin than mine. Instead she guided me in the direction of the Jojoba Microbead Purifying Facial Polish.This was more suited to sensitive skin like mine

Jojoba Microbead Purifying Facial Polish is a deep cleansing but gentle face polish that promises to leave your skin feeling purified, invigorated and smoothed. It is said to remove dead skin cells, deeply cleanse and purify and restore a healthy looking complexion. I have been using this exfoliator twice a week for the last few week and it has made a difference. My skin is definitely softer and while I did break out at first I haven’t since. I have a more healthy glow to my skin and my makeup is definitely sitting better on my skin. It has done exactly what it says on the tin.

One of the best things for me about this exfoliator is how easy it is to use. It lives in my shower so twice a week I massage it into my skin while in the shower and then wash it off. No fuss and no mess just what I like in a skin care product.

Would I buy this again? Yes. It is good value and it actually works, however I would like to try out other products in their range too. My next purchase will have to be the Ren Radiance Pefection Serum. You can buy the 150ml Ren Jojoba Microbead Purifying Facial Polish for €22 in Arnotts or the 100ml for €18

Caudalie Makeup removing cleansing oil

For one reason or another over the past number of months, I have taken great care checking the ingredients of products that I put on my skin. While this is hard to do with makeup, it is easier to get more natural  and yet still effective skincare products. One skin care brand that uses natural ingredients and yet works a treat on the skin, is Caudalie. Caudalie is a French brand that uses no parabans, Phenoxyethanol or sulphates and is not only cruelty free but it doesn’t use any animal derived raw materials. Having had health issues, omitting chemicals from entering my body where I can is something that I am trying to…

Beauty products for pregnancy and beyond

Knowing what products you can and can’t use during pregnancy is a complete minefield. There are so many conflicting reports out there, that it is actually hard to find out what exactly you can and can’t use. I personally haven’t been OTT about watching what I used but as a rule of thumb, I went for as many paraben and sulphate free products as possible, while avoiding Salicylic acid, retinol, vitamin a, glycolic acid, hair removal products  and developing tans. While there is science behind avoiding the likes of the Salicylic acid, retinonals and vitamin a, the tanning products are up for debate as to whether you can use them or not…

Time to finally ditch the makeup wipes with Bio Essence Miracle water

For years I have always thought makeup wipes were the easy option when it came to makeup removal. Yes, most evenings I have a decent skincare routine, but lets be honest, there are nights that you just can’t face the rigmarole of makeup removal and opt for the quick and easy wipe option. Well ladies, I have now found a way to take makeup off quicker than a wipe and also much more gentle on your skin. Bio essence miracle bio water jelly makeup remover is a gel makeup remover than is gentle on your skin, but strong enough so that the makeup literally slides off your face in seconds.  Due to…

The Body Shop Drops of Youth Youth Cream

When it comes to moisturizer, The Body Shop have stolen my heart several times, with their Vitamin C moisturiser being on my holy grail list!!! A few weeks ago, their latest offering in skin care landed on my doorstep and it came just in time, as my skin was not in the best of condition after spending a number of days in hospital and sick in bed. While my skin looked fine, it was seriously lacking in moisture. The Drops of Youth moisturizer is part of a range of skin care products in the Drops of Youth range and while I received a number of these to try too, it…

Banish away dull looking skin with The Pink Cow Brand

Thankfully due to good genes and regular facials, I am blessed with fairly good skin. I am lucky, as my skin cooperates most of the time, but having no Thyroid and being on different medications can throw a few spanners in the works every so often. My skin can go from being dry  to oily skin in the space of a few days!! For the most part it is normal / combination. However, over the last few weeks the amount of people who have commented on how well my skin looks is unreal. Even my mother said something, and she never notices anything like that!  So what is the wonder product that has…
