Soothing and boosting hydration for my parched skin with the Antipodes Flora Probiotic Skin-Rescue Hyaluronic Mask

July 26, 2023 Paris B Leave a Comment

I’ve been having a very busy few weeks, as I’m in the midst of moving and setting up a small production facility for my little business, and I’d be lying if my skin care routine is not suffering from neglect.

But realising this, I had planned ahead – us skincare enthusiasts never give up on our skin care, we just modify our routines to suit our lifestyle! 😀

Realising that I’d be under stress, have less time to myself, and be exposed to the environment more than before, I upped my hydration for the day and for the night. When my body undergoes stress, my skin tends to dry out so I knew I had to maintain my hydration and moisture so it remains balanced. I’d treat any other concerns later!

What I’ve been doing more of is masking and that’s where the Antipodes Flora Probiotic Skin-Rescue Hyaluronic Mask comes in handy. What a mouthful it is! So I’ll call it the Antipodes Flora Probiotic mask.

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Murad Retinal ReSculpt™ Overnight Treatment promises to lift sagging skin in just 2 weeks

Retinol and/or its derivatives are a hot topic right now. People have learnt that this is one of the key ingredients that actively slow down the signs of aging, and can actually make your skin look more youthful, with regular use.

I’m particularly keen on a new one in the market that was launched recently – the Murad Retinal ReSculpt™ Overnight Treatment.

While I’m evaluating it on myself, here’s a little preview of what it is, and what it can offer those of us who need something a little stronger than what is available on the market (or for us who need a little more help 😛 ).

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Hyaluronic Acid Eye Serum

l'areal Revitalift hyaluronic acid eye serum

I attended an event recently for an eye product. Regular readers will know that I don’t use any (I know it flies in the face of all beauty blogging logic, but I don’t!) but I always receive questions about eye products. So really, this one was for all of you! 😀

I also picked this as it was for the L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Hyaluronic Acid Eye Serum, and this is a brand that is easily available and relatively affordable. We all want and need affordable products these days, I know.

While I take it for a little whirl, here’s a little more info on it, if you’re thinking about getting an eye product this weekend.

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Decorte Age-Defying Liposome Power Duo for face and eyes

April 13, 2023 Paris B 2 Comments

If there’s one thing that every skincare brand can agree on, is that aging is synonymous with loss of moisture in the skin. As we age, our skin barrier weakens, and allows moisture to escape more quickly, which then leads to dry, dehydrated skin, and the resulting fine lines and wrinkles.

Japanese brand Decorte has something to address this.

Decorte uses a new Multilamellar Bio-liposome, which is an ultra-fine 0.1-micron microcapsule that encapsulates moisturizing ingredients. These microcapsules (1 Trillion microcapsules in a single drop, apparently) penetrate easily and deeply into the skin to boost moisture from within.

The Liposome technology isn’t new, and Decorte has been using it since 1992 in their serum. This year, it’s a new formula.
