Behind The Scenes: The New Sienna X Skincare Collection

By Leave a Comment

Sienna X The SkinCare Collection

Last month I was invited to Sienna X Head Office for the launch of their latest addition to the brand; The Skincare Collection.

It was such a great day, not just catching up with the team but also to have the opportunity to use each and every product of the collection on my own face! If you have been following me for a while, you will know that I never recommend a product, unless I have tried it myself!

The Cleansing Lotion: This is perfect to use as a first cleanse or to use as part of a double cleanse. The creamy lotion contains 97% of natural ingredients and helps to restore moisture and remove make up effectively.

The Cleansing Balm: I absolutely fell in love with this product from the minute I tried it. It starts off as a solid and as you warm the product in your hands and glide it over your face and neck, it literally melts away any long lasting make up and removes any negative traces of pollution.

The Toner: Infused with a fresh rose water fragrance, this toner helps to cool, hydrate and rebalance your skin. In the past I’ve used a well known toner that made me skin feel so tight and dehydrated. This is so delicate but does the job! You can spritz over the face and neck, or for a deeper cleanse, apply to a cotton wool pad.

The Face Polish: This is the exfoliator within the range and I loved it, the mineral volcanic pumice helps to remove congested areas as well as brightening and purifying your skin.

The Clay Mask: Unlike other clay masks I’ve tried in the past that literally after 5 minutes of being on my skin, crack. This felt lovely on my skin. It includes Chia Seed Extract which helps to fight dehydration, skin irritation and banish blemishes.

The Chemical Peel: If you are anything like me, I always used to be petrified of a chemical peel. I had visions of my skin literally peeling off. But I was completely surprised when I tried this. It’s 86% natural liquid exfoliator which is infused with Glycolic Acid which helps remove dead skin cells and reveal brighter skin. This would be a night time product as you’d want to avoid any exposure to the sun.

Sienna X Skincare Launch Day

Just a little sneak peek behind the scenes of my day at Sienna X HQ!

The Miracle Mask: Another of my absolute favourites within the collection. This definitely has the right name! It contains 10% Manuka Honey and I can honestly say, my skin has never felt so nourished!

The Day Cream: This contains SPF30, an anti pollution formula as well as Marine Bamboo which is known for fighting the damaging effects of blue light and infra read type A.

The Eye Cream: This contains SPF15 and is designed to brighten and tighten the eye area and like the day cream, also contains Marine Bamboo

The Retinol Serum: A retinol is something I’d never used before but it helps to reduce fine lines, boost collagen and brighten skin. If you like me, are new to using a retinol product, begin using 1-2 times a week and gradually increase. Never use with any other retinoid treatment. This contains 0.3% of pure retinol, the maximum UK strength.

The Facial Oil: I absolutely love to use an oil in my night time routine and this one did not disappoint! The 100% natural, lightweight oil helps to relax and hydrate your skin.

I am a huge fan of the new collection and have been using the range ever since my visit to Head Office! I love the simplicity of the range, but I also love that you can create the skincare routine that fits into your life! All of the products been dermatologically tested, clinically proven and are suitable for sensitive skin. All of the products are between 69% and 100% natural, all cruelty free, vegan friendly* except for the Miracle Mask which does contain 10% Manuka Honey.

If you are anything like me, you’re busy and don’t have the time to use 50 different products, but still want to look after your skin and let’s face it, at times, products within skincare ranges can be completely overwhelming and confusing! 

If you are looking for a new skincare range, without the confusion, that is packed full of high quality, natural ingredients this could be just what you’ve been looking for!

How A Tan Will Boost Your Happiness and Confidence

October Blog Post

With the colder months just around the corner, those long Summer days might be feeling like a distant memory. But fear not, because this month, I’m sharing how a spray tan can boost your happiness and confidence.

I truly believe that a spray tan is so much more than just a solution being applied to your skin. I think it’s pure happiness for your mind and body too! By having a light natural glow, this will help you feel happier and healthier.

We all know that a tan makes us feel better, but did you know it can also make you feel slimmer and more toned? Yes, you did read that right! It’s a fact ladies, a tan will make you feel the most beautiful version of yourself and leave you glowing with confidence.

The next few months bring shorter days and longer nights with a real lack of sunshine, so why not create your own? Stepping out into the cold air can often play a part in our skin drying out and what better way to rehydrate it than with a spray tan that really helps to enhance the appearance of your skin too.

For me, a tan doesn’t just make me feel happier, it makes me feel more confident too and I would love every woman reading this to feel the same way. Let’s embrace what we’ve been given, rather than apologise or feel rubbish about it. Body confidence is a huge insecurity for many of us and if I can help you to shine a little brighter, then that’s when I know the magic of what I do has happened!

If you would like any additional information on self tanning products or a professional spray tan, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch by leaving a comment below or drop me a message over on my Facebook page.

Until next time, glow and be you!

How To Make Your Holiday Glow Last Longer

By Leave a Comment

Tan

With Summer holidays over and your tan fading fast, post holiday blues might be creeping in. Therefore, this month, I thought I would share with you some really easy ways you can make your holiday glow last longer.

Exfoliate regularly as this will help to remove all of the dead skin cells. This keeps your skin healthy and bright and creates the perfect base for your tan to be applied. Keep skin soft by moisturising with the gorgeous Sienna X Radiance Body Balm.

Use a Gradual Self Tan Lotion, my personal favourite is of course the amazing Sienna X Gradual Self Tan. It allows you to build up your colour gently and is packed full of hydrating ingredients that works wonders for your skin.

If you just want to add some colour to your face and neck, why not try Sienna X Sleep Tan Drops. You can add 1-2 drops to your night time moisturiser, night cream or serum and wake up feeling radiant.

To add a beautiful radiance to your skin, I cannot recommend highly enough the Sienna X Skin Finish Illuminating Mist. It enhances your skin with or without a tan and is suitable to use all over the face and body. To create a natural, dewy finish to your make up, spray lightly over the face, allow to settle and apply your make up as normal. At the end, apply a final light spritz and you’ll be good to glow.

If self tanning at home isn’t your thing, why not come and see me for a professional spray tan. I honestly believe a spray tan is so much more than a solution being applied to your skin, it’s a mindset game changer. It will have you glowing with confidence and feeling the most beautiful version of yourself.

For more information on any of the products I’ve featured this month or if you would like some advice on how to apply them, please feel free to get in touch. As always, you can leave me a comment below or pop over to my Facebook page and come and say hello.

Until next time, keep glowing!
