Would I switch to the REN Clean Screen Mineral SPF30 sunscreen?

July 24, 2019 Paris B 14 Comments

I am, without doubt, a big fan of REN Skincare. Their products work well for me, and I like their aesthetic, formulation and packaging. Naturally therefore, when I first heard, months ago, that a sunscreen was being released, I was quite excited.

We know how I feel about sunscreen right? Yep, all day, everyday, no exceptions!

When the REN Clean Screen Mineral SPF 30 sunscreen dropped, I was conflicted. On the one hand, I was excited to see new mineral sunscreen in the market.

On the other hand, I found myself thinking “SPF30? Only 30??”

Revisiting the REN Vita Mineral Omega 3 Optimum Skin Oil – A skincare stalwart worth sharing

May 8, 2019 Paris B 2 Comments

Sometimes, sitting in the midst of everything new and shiny and wonderful, it is nice to single out an old stalwart. A product that you used and loved, and still love till today.

One of these stalwarts in my beauty product cabinet is the REN Vita Mineral Omega 3 Optimum Skin Oil. A facial oil I first tried years and years ago when REN was first introduced to me, and have repurchased ever since.

Yet, it is one I tend to forget to share about, because well, it’s just always there isn’t it? 😛

But I thought it would be nice to introduce you to a product that well, just works, without costing an arm and a leg 🙂

Acid Toners: What are acid toners? Why Do you need them and why I have stopped using Acid Toners

July 25, 2018 Paris B 26 Comments

This post about acid toners is one that’s long coming. It was a little hard for me to write, for a few reasons. The primary reason is because I have to suck it up, swallow my pride and admit that I wasn’t entirely correct in pursuing the skincare regimen that I was pursuing.

About 4 years ago, I discovered exfoliating lotions, or what are also known as “acid toners”. These are toning lotions that contain acids, usually in the form of glycolic acid, lactic acid (AHA) and/or salicylic acid (BHA). I primarily stuck to lotions containing AHA – Alpha Hydroxy Acids.

Fast forward 3 years later, after finding and using one of the best in the market, I now use acid toners quite sparingly, compared to before. It isn’t because they’re no good. But I’ve learnt more about my skin in that time, and I hope to be able to help you decide if acid toners are for you 🙂

Giving you a headstart on skin radiance right off the starting blocks with the REN Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic

REN Skincare is one of my favourite skincare brands, and many of you know I’m into using acid toners. So, when REN released the REN Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic earlier this year, I was off like a shot to grab hold of it! My face needs me some acids!

I’ll tell you about acids another day, but you’d know by now that I am a big fan of the Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 and the Pixi Glow Tonic. These are 2 exfoliating lotions or also known as “acid toners” that I unhesitatingly recommend to most people who want to try it. They also happen to fall, quite serendipitiously, on both ends of the price scale.

The REN Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic comes somewhere in between the two.
