Nu Skin 180 Cleanser Product Review

Your skin can show discolouration, uneven skin tone, pigmentation, spots,wrinkles,  blackheads when its suffering. We can chose to ignore it but sometimes we feel the pain from the skin and it becomes worse. Sometimes untreatable but using the right products can save you!

 I always read the back of the ingredients when it comes to skin products because I like to know what I am using on my skin and also in case I have a reaction, I would know what to avoid in future.
I spend money on products to help my skin reverse the damage so of course I am going to ensure what am using is beneficial especially if it's a product highly raved by many beauty lovers! 

Nu Skin have a range called 180º  which specifically help diminishes the appearance of lines and wrinkles, refines texture and evens skin tone for a more youthful appearance in as little as 7 days! I was very intrigued as the name caught my attention! I have read SO many good reviews on it!

For £41 there is 125ml of the product long lasting and can be used as a face wash or as a face mask, both very effective for the skin!





I use mine 1-2 times a day and it has lasted me for about 3 months now and I am not even half way through the tube therefore, it is very cost effective!










It is highly recommended by Doctors and researchers that, using 10% of Vitamin C on our skin , it would improve the skins texture and elasticity!

Nu Skin 180 Cleanser is one of the most extraordinary cleansers on the market!Active Vitamin C is a critical nutrient for skin firmness and radiance Not only is it very beneficial for the skin helping multiple levels of signs of ageing, but it can be proven to be a life saver for age spots and dark circles!
Newspaper article  asks the question of ' can Vitamin C cure wrinkles?' - yes it can help diminish those evil lines, if the product is genuine. I can prove if the products contain Vitamin C.....

Ingredients:

Glycerin, Ascorbic Acid, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate, Phospholipids, Butylene Glycol, Carbomer, Silica, Fragrance (Parfum), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891).

 In this product, the main active ingredients include:

• sesame and soybean oils - prevents moisture lost
• grape seed, ginkgo biloba leaf and ginseng extracts to provide antioxidant protection

Pro's:

• firms the skin
• brightens the complexion
• repairs the signs of damage from harmful UVA/UVB rays
• diminishes appearance of dark circles/age spots
• smells fresh
• supports collagen production therefore skin becomes more elasticated and plump
• leaves skin feel soft and refreshed
• suitable for any age
• Features a patented waterless formula that delivers 10% active, free-flowing vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) to the skin.

I use this in the morning and night, with just a small amount, it melts onto my skin. I ensure my face is make up free, I wet my face with luke warm, apply a pea sized amount onto my finger tips avoiding the eye area,  then massage it softly onto my face concentrating on where there are lines like around my mouth area. This can help the fine lines to be deeply cleansed and prevent deeper lines. When the product is set on my skin, I wash it off with cool water then pat my face dry.

When my face has absorbed too much sun from my holiday, I had dark spots, freckle-like marks. I applied this 180 cleanser onto the face as a mask and let it set for 5 minutes. I then washed it off and my marks has faded and my skin glowed. This is how powerful this gentle cleanser is therefore it is very beneficial for marks on the face.

Please note: lathering the cleanser onto the hands before applying it to the face WILL release the Vitamin C therefore decreasing the benefits of the cleanser so apply it quickly to the face to get maximum effect!

This is definitely my ultimate favourite cleanser for the autumn-winter season as it helps to brighten my skin and gives it that radiance it deserves! You owe it to yourself to have healthy looking radiant skin!

Tru Face® Revealing Gel Nu Skin Product Review

Gemma Shephard & Emma Forbes Salute to this product!

There are many factors around us which damage our skin and it's not difficult to understand why we must take care of our skin, just depends if you want to or not!

Not only does our skin protect our organs, but it is the biggest organ in our bodies. 

Our skin shows us how good/bad our immune system is, and when it's low we see it as well as feeling it. For instance, dehydrated body can lead to dry and flaky skin, which is never attractive (unless that's what you're into).  Also, spots around the chin area means your body is lacking fluids! Spots in general can spread so it is very important not to touch the infected area and know what you are putting on to of that area whether its water or lotions. For me, I have sensitive skin and that's due to various factors and something I was born with. It's improved over the years due to me taking good supplementation and a better controlled diet.

Did you know there are many major factors around us that damage our skin? such us:-

• pollution
• emotional/mental stress
• lack of sleep
• diet
• dehydration
• harmful UVA/UVB rays
• smoking
• infared

We may or may not see the effects on our skin straight away but in time, it will show - do you want to prevent it?

I have tried various methods to have flawless skin and it's not easy! A lot of work involved but knowing what you're using is the first important step!  Then to maintain it is the next big step but its worth it!  I have a clear understanding that only very few options worked but I still keep trying!
 Long term wise, I use my Galvanic Spa as well as my ageLOC Elements skin care .  Everybody has different skin and depending on your budget, you would have to try it before you decide if you like it or not, the results speaks for itself!

I discovered an alternative to a harmful face peel (also known as micro-dermabrasion) which is extremely effective for removing dead skin cells resulting the skin to a more plumpy and hydrated face BUT causing pain! Tru face revealing gel is formulated with gentle, patented, polyhydroxy acid (PHA) technlogy,  which gives us the youthful looking complexious without any irritation.




I demonstrated the use of this Tru Face Revealing Gel on 4 coins. This process is similar to the oxidation and damage free radicals cause to the skin. Excess free radicals in the skin, can also create a sallow, dull complexion. PHAs reverse the oxidation damage and brighten the skin without harshness or pain.

This smooth formula is applied onto the skin day & night on clean skin, upwards and outwards. You then let the formula do the hard work whilst you continue with your day/night. The results work before you know it! I was astonished by how my skin felt and looked!

 After about 30 minutes, I had an immense result from where the gel has been sitting on the coin and this is the result.......

The results on the skin is pretty amazing causing me no problems but just adds extra smiles to my day!

Ingredients:

• Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs)
• Lactobionic Acid and Gluconolactone: these ingredients encourage the sloughing off of rough, uneven skin and stimulates the production of young, healthy cells and creates a smoother surface.

Water (Aqua), Betaine, Gluconolactone, Butylene Glycol, Sclerotium Gum, Lactobionic Acid, Squalane, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Arginine, Methyl Gluceth-20, Fragrance (Parfum), Chlorphenesin, Methylparaben.

Seeing is believing

How this works on the skin:

• Gluconolactone—this PHA gently penetrates skin to reduce the appearance of pore size and the visible effects of photoaging. Proven to be effective in visibly improving skin texture and radiance.
• Lactobionic—a PHA clinically shown to significantly enhance skin cell turnover while improving skin brightness and texture. Works gently, without irritation. Acts as a powerful antioxidant and metal chelator that is so nurturing it is used as a preservation solution for transplant organs during transport.

It makes me wonder how much damage has my skin had to go through after all these years?! 

I love the fact this product is very suitable for those with sensitive skin like me, it works like wonders and a little goes a long way!

For 30ml of product at the price of £46.00, you would use this day & night if you wish. How much you use it entirely up to you depending on how often you want the face to be pampered. I would use this no more than twice a week along with my ageLOC Elements kit to maintain the maximum effect.

Pro's:

• suitable for sensitive skin
• small lightweight product
• little goes a long way
• easily blendable
• suitable for male and female
• suitable for any age
• alcohol free 
• no harshness and certainly pain-free lotion
• very gentle on the skin - as stated by Celebrity Stylist Gemma Shephard

I would highly recommend this to those who want a healthy glowing face without going through harmful face scrubs. It's a great gift idea for those who like luxurious products with very effect results without paying too much for!

Korean Snail Slime Face Masks

Snail slime face masks

Who ever would have thought you create snail slime extract face masks?! People in south Korea swear by using snail slime products!!

I am not a dermatologist, I just enjoy looking after my skin and ensuring it is maintained looking well.

I guess there's people in this world who would try anything to look good by looking younger or treat old scars. One of them being me by the way lolz. 

By using snail slime extract, it is actually quite a beauty craze at the moment in some countries especially in Asia. People would use snail slime products such as hand cream, face masks, night cream, serums. 

I have tried the Holika Holika snail hand cream , and a few face masks from Korea and I quite like the results!

I got these face masks for my birthday from a friend and I was very reluctant to try them. Infact, I was scared but I really wanted to see what it would do for my skin! After reading up so much reviews about them in magazines and beauty blogs, I didn't want to miss the opportunity! 

I expected it to be really slimy, cold and gooey but it actually isn't. Some have no scent, and some have a strong scent. I don't actually know how much of the snail slime is actually in the face masks as there are a lot of fake products out on the market!

I like certain brands of skin care, I like to read up on ingredients before purchasing any product that I use on my skin. I would rather know what I am putting on my face rather than trying the products before knowing. The skin is important to me therefore I do make sure I am using the right ingredients to maintain its good state as much as I can. 

Snail slime claims to:

•  Helps to reduce the visible signs of skin-ageing
• Refreshes & rejuvenates 
• Excellent skin-regenerating properties
• Helps to stimulate cell growth, restore optimum skin-moisture levels and improve elasticity
• Suitable for all skin types 
• have a complex mix of proteins, glycolic acids and elastic that that protect the skin from damage, infections and harmful UV rays

So why wouldn't we want to try this?!
I have sensitive, dry-combination skin and there has not been any problems for me, my dry patches of skin on the face has felt more moisturised and plumped, the skin tone is more even, less redness and not caused me to have break outs or redness. The fine lines are diminished after a few masks, but not straight away - it's an on-going fix up. 

From the ones I have tried, I do favour the TonyMoly ones the best. The masks cover majority of my face and it feels nice and cool on my face. I love using a face mask atleast once a week, especially after a hard days work and I just need a fix up to help my face feel moisturised.

I think it is a wonderful idea to get a beauty junkie a mixture of high end face masks, or ones with good ingredients that would benefit the skin so much more than wasting your money on products with poor ingredients. I would recommend giving TonyMoly ones a try. The first ones I used was TonyMoly ones and ever since, I have compared the rest to those ones and am glad I did!!

You can get snail slime products from healthy stores such as Holland & Barrett, SaSa, or online.
I will be reviewing some snail slime face masks soon!!
