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
• money back guarantee policy on this kit (please ask your Nu Skin advisor for more details)
• 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!!

Shiseido Eudermine Product Review

I never thought about using Shiseido products because it seemed so over priced and not hyped as much in the UK but when I am in Hong Kong , everyone is talking about Shiseido ever since I was a little girl.
 It is very difficult to get hold of some of the products in the UK, even in major department stores in London don't stock, and shipping it over to the UK has a hefty charge so I don't bother buying it unless I am back in Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, Shiseido is easier to buy products from than UK because it is an asian brand therefore easily accessible from Asia.

I was introduced the Shiseido Eudermine last year by one of my best friends over in Hong Kong who loves high end skin care such as Shiseido and really enjoys using the Eudermine toner.

I believe the luxurious Eudermine has been around since 1897 and alot of young teenagers in China have started using it and not stopped, therefore their skin is alot more smoother than those who have not been introduced to the product - must be their holy grail secret?!

This has got to be the most luxurious toner I have ever owned in my life! It looks so pretty in my bathroom and so luxurious on my skin! 
 EEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!

My best friend had a small sample bottle of the Eudermine and she highly recommended it to me. I tried it for a week and I noticed a change in my skin. It felt much smoother to apply my make up and I felt like my dark scars weren't are dark. 
For my birthday I received a full size bottle of Shiseido Eudermine toner and I was sooooooo greatful!! * Thank You Eva * 

It promises to:

• maintain hydration and moisture
• tone the skin 
• suitable for any skin tone
• safe to use day and night

I have combination skin, mainly dry than oily. My t-zone isn't really oily but it isn't dry either. I had some dry patches on my nose and flaky lips, (was too lazy to scrub them for a few weeks to be honest) and after blotting the eudermine on those areas, I found my skin was smooth the next day and make up was much more easy to glide. Essentially it's a toner and moisturiser at the same time. Personally for me, I like to apply a night cream before bed to help my skin cells repair quicker and knowing I won't wake up with dry skin is a major thing for me. During the winter time, I would still wake up with dry patches of skin, so I had to use a thicker night cream on top of the eudermine.

Shiseido says that Eudermine adjusts to climate to keep the skin's moisture level regardless of the time of year or where you live. I have used this in all seasons and it works well for me when it's warmer than colder. Not sure why though? Maybe it's because of the other products I have been using with it. I go through a range of skin care products to help maintain my skins flawless look as much as I can but the Shiseido Eudermine has definitely been my favourite during the cold seasons!

Eudermine has not caused any redness, any irritation, any flakiness nor any problems with my skin so far.  
There is  rose/lillies-like scent to this which I like, it reminds me of rose-water, to help with the hydration of the skin. 

The bottle is huge, it contains 200ml 6.7fl. oz. of the product in the bottle in a thick red glass. The lid is a screw-off lid and the toner comes out the nozzle when you tip it upside down or shake it out of the bottle onto the cotton pad.

Pro's:

• makes my skin smooth
• my lipsticks/make up just glide on
• the scent doesn't stay on the skin until it sinks in 
• dries quick on the face and not drip off the face like some toners do

Con's:

• heavy duty glass bottle
• if the bottle drops, then the whole thing is smashed

I use a piece of cotton pad with the Shiseido Eudermine because it doesn't waste the products on the fingers or hands and its more gentle on the skin and not too heavy handed.

 I love the fact that this toner does not dry out my skin like ones I have used in the past, it maintains the skins hydration and makes the skin smooth.
Toners usually strip off the skin, essentially strip off the skins moisture levels, whereas the Shiseido Eudermine moisturises and softens the skin protecting the moisture levels. To me, it's a  hyaluronic acid solution, but with no stickiness or film at all giving me smooth skin!

The ingredients isn't all natural but not too bad either. 

Ingredients: Water, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat, Methyl Gluceth-10, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Betaine, Methylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Cyclodextrin, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Potassium Carbomer, Fragrance, Peg-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Xanthan Gum, Acaylates/c10-30 Alkyl Acaylate Crosspolymer, Arginine HCI, PCA, Magnesium Chloride, Calcium Chloride. 

Even though it contains alcohol, it doesn't irritate my skin as bad as some toners I have tried in the past. The moisturised results wins me over completely! Some bad toners I have used in the past has made my skin bumpy, have pimples, cause redness, gives my skin a burning sensation (due to the amount of alcohol in the product) and makes my old scars alot more visible defeating the object of a toner! The Shiseido Eudermine protects my skin making it supple and luxurious.

This is a great luxurious gift for someone who appreciates high end skin care and loves making the bathroom look interesting!
