Nu Skin AgeLOC Elements Product Review

Look at how luxurious this box is!!!! JUST LOOK AT IT!!! haha!

White cardboard box , neatly presents 3 items

• ageLOC® Gentle Cleanse & Tone: anti-ageing foaming cleanser and toner
• ageLOC® Radiant Day SPF 22: anti-ageing day-time facial moisturiser with SPF 22
• ageLOC® Transforming Night: anti-ageing night-time facial moisturiser

The first time I purchased this kit was early this year and I have been hooked on it since!! I am currently on my second box and I just love how it works, how great it makes my skin feel and look, and most of all, the fact that it is nearly presented with such good quality material.

Nu Skin has a range called ageLOC which works on your ageing DNA. It doesn't change your DNA or clone you, the clever thing is that the company have top scientists and they have figured out that it is our ageing DNA that makes us age, also factors around us.

ageLOC targets the ageing DNA and change the appearance of ageing such as wrinkles, dark spots, large pores, not only this but also protects our skin from the factors around us such as environment, harmful UV rays, and lack of sleep!

When I first started researching ageLOC I was very a

amazed by the photographic evidence of how flawless and wrinkle-free the users have got since using ageLOC and so I continued to research into it before purchasing. After all, this is going on my face, which is the most sensitive part of my body so I want to make sure I am using top-notch ingredients!

For £144 the kit includes a gentle toner & cleanser in one, day cream and a night cream. You can purchase these separately but it works out cheaper to buy the kit and you can benefit from the whole range at the same time for maximum effects. For me, this kit lasted me for just over 3 months! A little goes a long way!

This kit is my step 1, 2 & 3 for my skin regime. 

I love travelling with the toner & cleanser as it's so light and easy to pack with, I put the night cream into a small pot as the jar is made of heavy glass and I take the tube of day cream as it's so light!

Step 1 & 2:

Cleanse & Tone = I just love how light it is for me to travel with, the product comes out from a pump dispenser and the formula is so soft and sinks straight into my skin! I have sensitive skin therefore I am very sceptical of what I use on my face, this has been luxurious on my skin and I have seen a clear result from using this after a few weeks. (Please note: I have also been using the Galvanic Spa together to get maximum results for my flawless skin).

Firstly, I went my face with warm water to open up the pores ready for the product to work its magic. I then use 1-2 pumps day and night for my face and neck, it just sinks into the skin and makes my skin feel so refreshed and cleansed. I have never used a toner & cleanser in one before, this is definitely magic to me! It definitely purifies my skin! The active ingredients combined make such a difference to my skin. Works with skin's own natural healthy pH, helping it to preserve its natural moisture (promised by Nu Skin) .

This 2 in 1 has lives up to its promise by cleansing, purifying and carefully hydrating my skin. I have problems around my cheeks/nose area where the skin is dry but this addresses it and calms the redness down. Some systems require a separate toner step, the ageLOC does not require you to use a separate cleanser and toner due to the unique active ingredients. I love that!!

When I first started using this toner & cleanser I did have breakouts, my skin wasn't use to the active ingredients of this toner & cleanser. After about 2-3 weeks my skin cleared up, I also used my Galvanic Spa to deep cleanse my epidermis and allowing he dermis to cleanse giving me the flawless skin. 

Step 3:

Moisturise = in the day time I use the day cream which has SPF 22, however, in the hot weather I use the SPF 35 to fully protect my face from the hot sun, when it's not as sunny I use this SPF 22 day cream.

At night, I use the night cream which is so rich and moisturising, it helps my dry/combination skin look and feel luxurious and more plumpy the following morning! 

at night time I use this rich moisturising night cream click here for review. I only use a tiny amount and it sinks into my skin quickly and has a refreshing scent! I apply it in an upward and outward motion, and avoiding the eye area as it's extra sensitive. I wake up to skin that's been looked after whilst I sleep, that's what we all want! It doesn't dry my face or give me any breakouts, that's how I know this cream has done it's job right!

Effectively, this kit has been a real good deal for the way my skin has changed, I am very suprised at how flawless it remains! There has been days where I switch up to other products due to me trying to finish off the other products but I have always gone back to this kit. I have highly recommended it to everyone as I love the active ingredients :

• ageLOC® - proprietary Nu Skin® technology that targets arSuperMarkers, the ultimate sources of ageing.

This kit is very suitable for sensitive skin, highly recommended for those who want to get rid of wrinkles, large pores, want flawless, manageable and smooth skin.I have a lot of old scars, redness, rosacea, breakouts every now and then but hardly to be honest. This is the BEST kit I have ever used on my face and I have purchased this more than once before. It's extremely good value for money and the long term results are beyond what I imaged! Ultimate flawless skin that is so much more manageable, not as oily in my T-zone and it has definitely helped me to use less make up and show my natural skin which is matte. Personally for me, it's extremely important to have manageable skin as I model, I find it embarrassing to have bad skin therefore I maintain it well. I have been complimented a lot of times about my skin and how great it looks! My secret is a good skin care regime using the best products on the market!

Pro's:

• presentable box - great for luxurious gift idea
• light and easy to carry, great for travellers
• box and each bottle has expiry date printed
• luxurious feel to the skin

• can last you at least a month depending on how much you would use

Con's:

• comes in 1 size only
• SPF cream is only available in SPF 22
• night cream jar is heavy duty glass

Enjoy!!

Nu Skin AP24 Anti-Plaque Fluoride Toothpaste Product Review

Oral hygiene is a must in my daily routine, I brush my teeth twice a day, three times if I have food stuck in between my teeth or before I go to an event - it's a self conscious thing. I also floss and use mouthwash to ensure my mucosa is immaculate as possible.

I have tried various brands for oral care and there seems to be a lot of times where I go back and buy the same toothpaste as I love the result and confidence it gives me. I am not scared to try different brands and see what their products have to offer me, after all, I am a beauty blogger.

Having tried a few other Nu Skin products, I wanted to have a try of their toothpaste!

Looking at the details of this toothpaste, Nu Skin recommends:

• Brush teeth thoroughly, preferably after each meal or at least twice a day, or as directed by a dentist or physician. Children of 6 years and younger: Use a pea sized amount for supervised brushing to minimise swallowing. In case of intake of fluoride from other sources consult a dentist or doctor. 

ingredients:

• Dicalcium, Phosphate Dihydrate, Water (Aqua),Sorbitol, Glycerin, Sodium Monofluorophosphate, Dimethicone*,  Poloxamer 338*, Poloxamer 407*, Cellulose Gum, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Flavor (Aroma), Sodium Saccharin, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891).
• *A component of the patented AP-24® formula.

 To make you understand it abit more, this is from the Nu Skin product information

AP-24®

− a patented plaque-fighting agent. AP-24® is a long-chain

silicon-oxygen molecule that can wrap around teeth and hold

tightly to leave your mouth feeling cleaner and fresher longer.

• Dicalcium phosphate

− a mild abrasive that gently loosens

and removes debris.

• Sodium monofluorophosphate

− an approved form of

fluoride that can be used to fight cavities.

I brush my teeth first thing in the morning and before bed,  sometimes after a meal (depending on where I am) I use a pea sized amount on my electric toothbrush. I find that by using an electric toothbrush, my teeth feel more clean, gives me more confidence to smile!

Pro's:

• upright tube with a flip top lid, which means gravity will help the toothpaste to come out from the bottom
• it does give a coating over my teeth to make my teeth feel like it's being protected

Con's:

• too pricey for a toothpaste that doesn't work better than my usual toothpaste
• not got a good long lasting after taste
• too much air in the tube, it was annoying when I was trying to use the last of the toothpaste, it kept pumping out air

I am glad I tried this toothpaste but I don't feel it gives me the confidence my original toothpaste does. 

For £8 there is 170g / Net Wt. 6oz of product, lasted me 2 months.

My first impressions haven't changed throughout the use of this toothbrush, I don't like the taste of it after a short period of time, it is somewhat more salty than sweet, doesn't leave my mouth with a good after taste or long lasting. 

The toothbrush is white in colour The colour of my teeth remain the same, it doesn't cleanse enough for my liking. I still continue to floss and use mouthwash from time to time to ensure my mucosa is fully hydrated and fresh. 

Sadly, this is a product I don't like from the Nu Skin range, I still prefer my skin products than anything else. I am glad I tried the toothpaste though! There is also another toothbrush I have yet to try!

Green Tea Vermicelli

The first time I ever tried green tea vermicelli was at a korean restaurant in Hong Kong a few years back! I love green tea anything!! I have this obsession with anti-oxidant foods and I love the taste/scent of green tea!!

I like noodles from time to time, although I am a very fussy eater, I favour in japanese or korean noodles. I only eat noodles that are thick like udon or flat like 'ho fun' chinese ones.I love the texture and how they look, especially when I cook them with vegetables, tofu and an egg!

Green tea vermicelli tastes pure, unique in flavour and kinda weird to look at but I assure you, it looks interesting in a bowl or on a plate! but for some people it can be quite off-putting because of the colour and possibly the smell if they aren't a fan of green tea. I like to try these weird and wonderful things!

I found these unique noodles in a chinese supermarket in the Korean section, I was super excited to buy these and cook them at home!!

In the pack there are 5 handfuls, each handful consists of quite alot for one serving, I would recommend to split them in half if you are cooking for one.
They are seperated with the paper band around them, which is a clever idea because when it comes to cook noodles, we just put in more than we need, especially when you are hungry lol!

Each time I cook these noodles, I use one handful and make 2-3 meals out of them, I cook them with vegetables, tofu, fried egg and sometimes meat so realistically, you don't need that much noodles!

They cook quite fast, within 3-5 minutes they are cooked and they go soggy and stick to the pan so you have to be quick with these bad boys!

It is impossible to boil them then pan fry them as there is too much water in the strands, therefore , they stick to the pan!

Pro's:

• green tea is known for it's anti-oxidant
• fun colour on your plate
• fast to cook

Con's:

• suitable for noodle soup or dry boiled noodle style
• sticks to the pan if it gets too soggy
• unsure how much green tea is in each meal
• hard to find

  I must admit, the flavour for the noodles aren't as intense as I expected, the freshest green tea noodles have a heavy taste of green tea but this one didn't and i was quite skeptical about finding out how much green tea was actually in these noodles?  I felt like I was conned lol.
Nevertheless, I found something I didnt expect to find and I was so happy to have had the chance to cook it at home and re-live that memory of tasting green tea noodles again!!


I had so much fun cooking with this and it has made my meals very interesting to look at!! I serve mine with slight soup base, tofu, chinese vegetables like pak choi or gai lan, and also a fried egg.


If you are looking for a unique dish and you like noodles or green tea then try this!

Matte Nails

I just LOVE matte furnishing's on anything!! cars, tables, plates, books, nails!! I just think it's such a clever idea to have matte nails!!

It gives it that extra classy and sophisticated look and I love the feel on it on my nails! I can't stop looking at them! lol!

It's so simple to do and the results are amazing!!

You can use alsorts of colours and patterns and them making it matte afterwards simply by using a matte polish over the top of your nails.

I decided to use this hot pink colour as a base, perfect colour for the summer!!

34 - Mauva Flash

You can use any colour you wish, any brand, at any price. It doesn't need to be anything expensive but be aware that cheaper polishes can damage the nails and cause staining! Make sure you use a good polish remover too!

This polish was from a UK drugstore called Superdrug which can be found in every city or you can purchase online.

£1.99 from Superdrug ,t here are a choice of colours and a huge choice of brands.

This is the magic formula by China Glaze, it was a gift from one of my youtube friends Emily, she got me this when we did a swap a few years back!

I don't often paint my nails but my toe nails I do quite often but when I get the chance I do paint my nails.

Different brands do the matte polish in their collection, which allows you to have different effects, prices do vary but I would recommending getting a good branded polish because some may not be as effective as others, and drying time can take longer which means you are more prone to it smudging!

What I did was I ensured my nails were filed to the shape I wanted. My nails are naturally long and squared tip so I just tidied them up abit by using my manicure set.


I then applied the pink polish on top of my nails, using 2 coats on each nail, it gave my nails the look I wanted.














Once the nails are dried and not wet looking, I applied the magic matte clear polish over my nails, using just one coat on top of my nails and allowing it to dry would give me the perfect matte finish.

If you take a look at the index finger, the nail is matte and the rest are shiny. This is the matte effect.

beautiful matte finish

Here is the finished look!! The colour is still bright not but shiny!

Have fun guys

Chanel Precision Mousse Exfoliante Purete Product Review

Fancy using a designer brand on your skin! I think it's a wonderful idea that a successful designer has their own line of skin care and make up! I have never owned Chanel garment or accessories before but I have tried a few of their beauty products before.
I wasn't too sure if I would be addicted into buying Chanel's skin care/cosmetics due to the brand and the beautiful packaging, I haven't been hooked but I did go through a phase of wanting to badly purchase everything! haha!! I started to research about the products and decided to try one of their best products, which is this exfoliating mousse cleanser.

I like to try different brands of skin care as well as make up, to experience what they have to offer. I enjoy peoples reviews about what they have tried, there has been a lot of negative reviews about Chanel's skin care due to the price but then again, you don't actually need a lot of the product for the result. If I purchase a luxurious item I try to divide it by 3 (break down price for 3 years) or if it's skin care then break it down by 12  to give me the break down of cost per month.

I love the simple packaging, this is thick plastic abit like the type of packaging for toothpaste. I like how pristine their packaging looks, it looks amazing in my bathroom lol!

The formula is a pearlescent soft creamy-like light mousse, white-grey in colour with a heavy scent of fresh flowers. If you are someone who likes the smell of flowers then you may love this!

This is suitable for oily-combination skin.

I have never used a cleanser that foams up so much! A little bit goes a long way, I have used this on and off for the last 2 years as my skin changes throughout the year due to weather and hormones. I would say, it has lasted me for 2 solid summers!

I use about half of this amount usually

I use a face pad to wash my face as I find it easier to blend onto my skin and can avoid the excess oils from my finger tips! You can purchase these from beauty drug stores in Hong Kong or ebay.com.



I initially have sensitive skin and this tends to harm my skin in the winter time. I feel that it washes my natural oils out so I only use it in the hot season wherever I am. It helps to wash away the excess oil and always gives my face that squeaky clean feeling, it even squeaks!

I use to have that feeling every time I used the creamy cleanser, it makes my skin feel slightly tight and shiny which I don't like but it depends what you want from a cleanser. For me, I don't like irritated skin before and after using any skin products, this let me down in this respect. When we sleep, our skin dehydrates, I feel that I need to use a rich night cream to retain the hydration on my face, this cleanser makes me feel like my skin's natural oils has been washed away and it becomes flaky especially in the colder seasons.

After using it, my make up is not all removed, my skin feels tight and sometimes red, it feels refreshed and smells nice too!


I wash my face twice a day, morning and night before bed. I use the same cleanser and I change my whole regime products every season or if my skin is irritated from anything I use. I have learnt to understand which products to use and when. I hate having irritated skin, especially because my skin is sensitive and a combination of normal-dry.

Did you know that poor skin care can lead to early signs of ageing? You are more prone to fine lines, dull complexion, large open pores, wrinkles, and deep scar tissues? I can guarantee you will be screaming for help when you need to have clear skin for the next big occasion! Remember: prevention is better than cure! Treat it now rather than later!

I use this mousse cleanser as step 1 in my beauty skin care regime, then I tone, cleanse and moisturise.

Step 1 is important as it helps to wash away excess oils, deep clean the epidermis. Using a good quality cleanser can repair itself at night and that is why it works the hardest whilst you sleep!


The exfoliating beads are small and help to make the skin glow as it gets rid of dead skin cells which hang over your face, the naked eye can see this. It ensures your face is fully cleansed and gives it that fresh squeaky feel!This would really benefit those who have large open pores as it really deep cleanses inside those pores and prevents black heads.
I apply this to my soft face pad and exfoliating this in a circular motion to help get rid of dead skin cells and remove my make up and dirt from the epidermis.

check out this article on why not having clean skin before bed is bad for you? Takes just 3 minutes of your time before bed can make SUCH a difference!

For £38.00 there is 150ml / 5 fl. oz of product which doesn't sound like a lot but in actual fact you only need to use a little bit as it foams up a lot. 
Available at any Chanel counter in department stores or online.
The consistency is thick, but smooth and foamy when it becomes wet, it glides softly onto the skin and exfoliates at the same time. There isn't much exfoliating beads which is good as it isn't too harmful for the skin, especially sensitive skin.

 Ingredients benefits:

TULIP TREE EXTRACT, selected for its anti-pollution effect.

The Tulip Tree has been planted in cities worldwide in an effort to help de-pollute the air. The tree’s shiny green leaves are covered with a protective wax that traps pollutants, which are then washed away when it rains. CHANEL PRÉCISION Cleansers and Toners utilize Tulip Tree Extract to remove impurities caused by pollution and protect the integrity of skin’s natural defense barriers. This helps to prevent free radical damage, which can lead to premature aging.

BIOGLUCANE boosts the cleansing action of Tulip Tree Extract and helps balance the skin without stripping its natural barrier, heightening the depolluting power of each formula in the collection.


This is suitable for those who travel a lot , because there are a lot of dirt collected into the pores and this product would help to cleanse effectively!
 
Pro's:

• scent smells great
• clean feeling
• soft formula
• bottle stands upright which means gravity will let the product drop down
• exfoliating beads helps to deep clean in the open pores
• glamorous packaging
• definitely is 'rich-foaming' formula

Con's:

• squeaky clean sound on the face after using it
• strips away my natural oils way too much, my skin becomes irritated especially in the colder seasons
•  doesn't remove every trace of my make up, I still have to use my cleansing cream and toner afterwards
• makes my skin feel tight, needing a rich moisturiser afterwards to calm the redness
• comes in one size only

I have enjoyed using this product more in the summer time than the winter, just because my skin needs that extra TLC during colder seasons. I don't feel that my skin benefits as much as I thought it would and I wouldn't purchase it again. I would recommend it to my beauties who like soft foaming cleansers with a luxurious feel on their skin. It's a great gift idea or a treat for their skin care regime.
To me, it just hasn't lived up to it's expectations , hence why I have used it on and off for 2 years now.

Nu Skin SPF 35 Face & Body Cream Product Review

  Finding the right product for your skin is just as important as knowing how much SPF we need to cover our skin before it becomes damaged. Not many people care and not so many understand about the products they are using. I like to read and understand the ingredients of every product that goes on my skin, especially when it comes to sun protection on my face.

Now that it is summer time, I always use a higher sun factor. All year round I use at least SPF 15, summer time I have SPF 35 minimum. I try not to sit out in the sun for too long as I can burn easily and have tan marks all over my body (which can last for quite a few months), and also my dark spots can grow bigger. 

Our tissue cells can become cancerous and before you see the signs, it is too late to cure. That is what I am afraid of - knowing I cannot turn back time to un-do my mistakes therefore I use at least SPF 15 on my face/skin every single day, even in the winter time when it is dark. There are harmful UVA and UVB rays that damage our skin and they are invisible. UVA rays go deep into the dermis, and the UVB rays hit the surface of the dermis! When we use SPF , the rays reflect from it and protect the epidermis (the surface of the skin).

It certainly is very difficult to find a higher SPF 20 for the face in the market! You cannot just use your regular sun tan lotion for your face purely because your face needs more TLC as it is damaged every single day that you are living, yes, even when you cannot see the sun. The harmful UVA and UVB rays are constantly circulating around us, we don't see them but our skin feels the pain.

By using SPF 35, it means it protects your skin 35 times more than your usual time before you get burnt. For instance, it takes about 10 minutes for my skin to become burnt without SPF, so if I use SPF 35, it would make me last in the sun for 350 minutes (almost 6 hours) before I burn and complain lolz. 

I use SPF 15 on my face in the winter and cover up the rest of my body, even though I am indoors most of the time, I am protecting my skin from the harmful UVA and UVB rays up to 15 times before it causes my skin any problems. Just because you cannot see the damage straight away, it doesn't mean there are no problems, later on you will see the effects, whether it is freckles, dark spots or redness to the skin.

People with light eyes or hair, who sunburn easily or do not tan have an increased risk of skin cancer and also malignant melanoma is almost twice as common in young women (up to age 34) as in young men, but more men die from it. (cancerresearch.co.uk). I have always believed that protection is better than cure, it only takes a minute to apply the sun factor on. 

When we go abroad on holiday or on a long weekend break, we apply sun lotion, so why not when you are back home? What difference does it make?

For some people, cost is always the main issue but in actual fact, it costs more for health care and the inconvenience of pain. There is a choice of long term damage VS costs, I would rather chose paying that little bit more to prevent worsening health. 

For some people, they have allergies to SPF products, that can be discussed with your dermatologist of experts of products. There are always product email address and websites to give you information about their products. 

 When it comes to lotion for my face or body, I look for these main things:

• cost
• ingredients
• benefits
• SPF
• consistency
• scent 

I discovered Nu Skin and their products this year when I found the Galvanic Spa Machine and understanding what it did to my skin. I was very suprised to see there was an SPF 35 lotion for the face as well as the body and I bought it straight away!

I was super excited to try the product on myself as I had read a few testimonials on how great the product was and the active ingredients.

Active Ingredients: Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate)  (7.0%), Titanium Dioxide (4.264%), Benzophenone-3 (Oxybenzone) (3.0%)

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Octinoxate), Butylene Glycol, Titanium Dioxide, Benzophenone-3 (Oxybenzone), Isononyl Isononanoate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Hexyl Laurate, Ethylhexyl Stearate, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Glycerin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract*, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Equisetum Hiemale Leaf/Stem Extract, Eugenia Caryophyllus (Clove) Flower Extract, Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate, Artemisia Vulgaris Extract, Algae Extract, Yeast Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Jojoba Esters, Cetyl Dimethicone, Stearic Acid, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Sodium Chloride, Aluminum Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Chlorphenesin.
*Sealastin

open lid at the bottom of the tube makes sure you get all your product out

For £19, there is 100ml/3.4fl. oz of the product in the tube. The product stays upright which means when it comes to the end of using up the cream, gravity lets the product come out of the tube downwards. I love it when products come out at the bottom of the bottom rather than the top, it's such a hassle to use up all of the products! We all fight to use up everything - don't deny it! lolz! 

The flip top cap is very easy to open and usually by now the caps snap off but I have used this over 10 times and had no problems with it!

Pro's:

• suitable for face and body - it hasn't irritated my face at all and I have very sensitive skin. 
• bottle is stood upright
• only need a little bit for the face and neck - a little goes a long way!
• water resistant and allows up to 80 minutes of uninterrupted water play before you should apply
• packaging does not melt in the sun - I have before had the tubes melt due to the heat which isn't good for the products as it can be cancerous
• does not stain clothes
• suitable for children over 6 months old so it can be used for the whole family
• does not make the skin oily even out in the sun

Con's:

• Just available in 1 size only
• the highest SPF available is just the 35 
• there is a slight refreshing scent to this product but it wears off once it is soaked into the skin

I apply this as a base after my skin care regime in the morning, then my make up over. It hasn't caused my skin to become dry or oily, which is an important factor as it can make the skin look too unhealthy and cause break outs as well as the make up to smudge. I also use my moisture mist spray over my face to set my make up.

There are active ingredients which make this product unique:

•  Mentha piperita (peppermint leaf extract) - a skin-soothing extract that helps reduce skin sensitivity and promotes a feeling of well-being.
• Green tea extracts (Tēgreen97®) - a proprietary extract of green tea catechins, which are powerful antioxidants that scavenge cell-damaging free radicals.
• SeaLastin - helps protect the skin’s support structures, promoting healthy collagen and elastin levels for skin suppleness.
• Heat shock proteins - a unique technology that enhances the skin’s ability to protect against heat and UV stress, ensuring optimum cellular health.

I use this as my 3rd step to my face regime in the morning (tone, cleanse then moisturise)

I use a small amount to cover my face then massage it gently into my neck in an upwards and outwards motion, this lets gravity make my face become more uplifted. As we grow old, we grow south!!










From the first use of this lotion, I have found that the product has been thick to start with, then it is absorbed into the skin easily and not caused it to become oily. It soaks in within 1-2 minutes and with it's unique cooling effect from the peppermint extract, it gives me the confidence that my skin is going to be protected for at least 5 hours in the sun!

Even though in the UK we don't get much sun, I ensure I use a higher SPF on a sunny day to save myself from re-applying the lotion. I try not to sit out in the sun for too long as I burn, my skin becomes red and then tan.
If I was to sunbathe properly then I would reapply every 60-80 minutes to maximise the coverage and still tan at the same time.

After about 35 circular motions of massaging the product onto my hands, it sets and looks like this in less than 30 seconds

I have experienced SPF lotions stains the clothes, especially when I am on holiday and my white clothes have streaks in and cannot wash out unless it is bleached! I am pretty sure a lot of you guys have experienced that too which is a complete waste of money on the garments! You go on holiday, go home with a tan but ruined garments!

I have not experienced any complains from my clothes so far, even when I have applied this to my arms, shoulders, neck and feet. It was such a suprise for me which made me enjoy using it even more!!

I work mainly indoors but when I am outdoors especially when I have a day of photoshooting, I always apply this to my face and body to ensure my skin is fully protected from the harmful rays. I hardly re-apply unless I am in the direct sun for longer than half hour, it's so handy to carry in my bag as the tube is not that heavy.
