Natural, Vegan and Pure Molten Gold – The Antipodes Glow Ritual Vitamin C Serum ticks all the right boxes!

April 11, 2022 Paris B 1 Comment

Since being introduced to Antipodes Skincare back in 2012, I’d watched the brand grow, with a lot of interest. It’s a brand of skincare that I particularly enjoy using, and one of very few organic and natural skincare brands that I have no hesitation telling people about, simply because it does the job, and then some!

They’ve introduced quite a few new products in recent times, and one that piqued by interest was the Antipodes Glow Ritual Vitamin C Serum. We all know how I am about a Vitamin C serum! I’m mad for them!

What interested me more than another new Vitamin C serum, was that the Antipodes Glow Ritual Vitamin C Serum is made from a natural source of Vitamin C – kakadu plum.

I was a little sceptical if it’s better than chemically derived Vitamin C, I must admit, but in my books, anything from one of my favourite brands is worth a try! 🙂

Sun damaging your skin? Here’s how I protect mine after prolonged sun exposure

January 19, 2021 Paris B 7 Comments

I was always an indoors person. Never very sporty or outdoorsy. It was easier for me to look after my skin then. Staying indoors is generally better for your skin, because of the reduced UV and sun exposure.

But then, I got a dog and all hell pretty much broke loose LOL!

Having a dog comes with many responsibilities, and one of them is daily walks. That meant I was being moved out of my comfort zone, and out into the sun.

Initially, I wasn’t paying much attention to my skin. I’d rush through my morning skincare routine, slap on any ol’ sunscreen, and head out the door with puppers.

But as time went by, I noticed my skin was becoming more dry, dull and my pigmentation had gotten worse. I knew I had to do something.

My lockdown skincare experiment: Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream

July 3, 2020 Paris B 4 Comments

A few months ago, just before we went into lockdown, I received a generous package from Drunk Elephant. Lockdown started out a little confusing on all our parts, so I left the package for a while, while I got my head around not leaving the house.

When I settled down, the first item I reached for in the pack was the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream. There was a good reason for this!

When A-Passioni Retinol Cream was first launched, I came across many mixed reviews for it. Those who loved it, loved how effective it was.

But there was a big section of reviewers who complained that it left them with dry, flaky, peeling skin – a common side-effect of using retinol, especially in high doses. And A-Passioni Retinol Cream has a whopping 1.0% Retinol concentration.

I was curious therefore, how I’d take to the product. Would I love it, or would it leave my skin a mess? Curious minds had to know! 😀

Skincare Empties I used up during quarantine: 7 I will repurchase and 2 I will not

June 8, 2020 Paris B 6 Comments

Being in quarantine or lockdown has been good for skincare enthusiasts. It’s forced us to take a long hard look at what we own and use, and actually use it. That’s one positive thing to come out of this!

skincare empties

I’ve been quite good at using up my skincare in the past year or so, so it wasn’t too hard for me to amass a bunch of empty bottles and tubes in the time that our movement was restricted.

Usually, I’d just use them up, make a mental note whether I like them, and quickly forget about them as I move on to the next new item. But this time, I gave it a little more thought.

I had to, because it is now a little more complicated buying skincare from abroad, and I wanted to see if what I enjoyed using was available locally, or if I might have to bite the bullet and try my luck with an online purchase.

So, here are 10 items I emptied out that I felt were worth a mention. There are 8 I’d repurchase, and 2 I will not 🙂
