SPF I use on my children

Image
SPF I use on my children - Age 3, 5 and 8. I know as parents, we have a 101 things to do from the moment we wake up, lets be real we just about remember doing our own selfcare routine. However I can not stress how important it is to get your children into a good habit/routine on taking the steps of washing their face, applying cream and then SPF. If my 3 year can say and point out which one is SPF from a cream, we all can do this :) Children copy us, everything we say and do including emotions, physical actions and how we act when positive and negative. What am getting at is, if you yourself share a happiness/ positive mode when doing your morning and evening skincare routine, they will do the same.  Tip: Tell them SPF protects your skin from burning, that's how my lot understand the difference between a normal cream and an SPF. Apply after your cream so the last one is SPF sitting on top of your skin to protect it. You guys keep asking so here is a few products I use on my childre...

MY FAVOURTIE SPF!

The only SPF product you need! Since  launch day, it has been a staple skincare product in my routine. Honestly hands down one of the best and does exactly what an SPF should do - Protects your skin with added Saffron which  helps to brighten your skin at the same time. Lets share some information first. BRIGHTENING MINERAL SUNSCREEN SPF 50 BEST SELLER - 5 STAR RATING Natural | Organic | Safe | Effective |  Alcohol Free |  Fragrance Free Comedogenic Rating 2 Weightless formula which leaves no white cast on your skin.

Boots recycling system - Scan and recycle

Image
I am so so happy to hear Boots and No7 have now got an easy way to recycle your cosmetics and health, wellness products plus you get points  - that's brilliant. To see another big brand get involved with recycling and making it more environmentally friendly is amazing. I have previously shared a few places where you can recycle your beauty and cosmetics bottles and since then a few more have added so will update this. Boots have quite a few stores that are participating in this recycle scheme which you can check via their website. Every 5 empty products you take back, Boots give you 500 points. That's worth £5. Now that's fantastic. They are using a scan to recycle technology.  You can take back any beauty, health, wellness and even dental products. Check their terms and conditions to double check. All you have to do is sign up and share your empty pictures to bank items. https://www.boots.com/boots-recycling-scheme I just signed up so I will share my experience and let you...

Mild Toners

Image
So you beauties wanted a few mild toner mentions /recommendations and here it is. These are all suitable for all skin types and sensitive skin however please note everyones skin is different and what may work for me might not work for you. Always do a test patch before full use. You can start off by using these every other day then build up to daily use. Once skin is use to it and happy with you toning. You can use twice a day after cleansing/washing skin. Do use with re-usable cotton pads. Let's be environmentally friendly. Tried to pick the affordable selections. Nivea 2 in 1 cleanser and toner. This one is great for sensitive skin and is very moisturising. It is a thick white creamy consistency. It’s a 2 in 1 so you can use this as your first cleanser too.  Available in Superdrugs, Home bargains and many other stores. Pixi Rose tonics. If you love rose then you would love this mild toner. This is suitable for all skin types. Can be used twice a day into your routine. Great to us...

What is Skincare Challange?

Image
These are from previous Skincare Challenge months. I love my skincare challenge months. I have been doing these over 5 years now, educating, teaching and sharing tips and tricks. Helping you choose the right care for your skin. (I share everything from body, hair, hands and feet too) Selfcare is so important for us in many ways. Especially us mums. Now what is skincare challenge? Simple a month of religious use of the basic products needed for your skin to understand and get use to a self-care routine. This includes daily care and weekly care. A morning (am) routine an evening (pm) routine and some fun extra pampering sessions like masking days during the week.  Who is this for? You can be someone who is just starting or just not sure if your routine is working. You can even be someone who’s an expert and love using lots of products but just want to step back to basics for a while or even someone who wants to start to add new products into their routine. Basically anyone, any ages ...

Pixi Milky Hydrating Collection Review

Image
It's review time...  As promised and I am saying it how it is from my opinion:) I have added each product details and my thoughts on each item. Hope this helps you 💚 Hydrating Milky Makeup Re mover Remove your most long-wearing eye, lip and face makeup without stripping your skin of its essential moisture with Pixi’s Hydrating Milky Makeup Remover. • Coconut nourishes & conditions • Probiotics protect & balance • Oat Extract soothes & hydrates Retails £24.00 My thoughts: Lovely gentle remover for face but didn't like this at all for my eyes. It does take a good few pumps and cotton pads before removing long wear makeup and found the scent very off putting. Honestly the smell is nothing like the other products from the range and it doesn't remove heavy makeup quickly. I personally find this is over priced for a makeup remover. Love Pixi's collections and their ranges but some products like this could be priced lower. This is the only one tha...
