Fall In Love With The Autumn Collection

By Leave a Comment

With cosy season well and truly here, why not fall in love with the Autumn collection from Gatcombe Candle Co. After a busy day, there is no better way to unwind, relax and give yourself some well deserved self care!

As with all of the Gatcombe collection, these are all hand poured using 100% soy wax. They look stunning in any home and smell out of this world. I’m pleased to say that some old favourites have returned, along with two stunning new additions, Frosted Pumpkin and Cosy Night In.

Toasted Apple: An excellent festive blend combining warmed spice and baked Apple, that’s good enough to eat!.

​Spiced Orange: Sweet zesty Orange with warm and hearty notes of Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Clove. Woody and spicy with a hint of Vanilla.

Gingerbread: The aroma of warm buttery Gingerbread, rich with Nutmeg, Cinnamon and Brown Sugar. This scent will evoke childhood memories of Gingerbread men and Gingerbread houses.

Sweet Fig: A fruity and sweet scent with a floral undertone. Top notes Fig, Fig Leaf, Wild Berries. Middle notes Lily of the Valley, Violet Leaf, Rose. Base – Cedar, Amber, Sweet Musk.

Red Cedar & Musk: An exotic blend of Red Cedar, Massoia Bark, Amber and Musk. This fragrance has top notes of Lemon and Bergamot peel and enhanced with a blend of rich warm spices.

Frosted Pumpkin: This fragrance begins with fresh top notes of citrus Lemon, leading to creamy Pumpkin with hints of Nutmeg and Ginger; sitting on base notes of warm Maple sugar and a Vanilla frosting.

Cosy Night In: Let this inviting fragrance wrap around you like a cosy blanket. An opulent heady scent softened by the addition of warm sweet aromas and luxurious aromas of woods and golden amber facets. It’s full of charm & mystery for that cosy night in!

Oak Noir: An intense, complex and luxurious scent. This fragrance has top notes of Black Pepper, Lemon and Ginger, with base notes of Basil, Coriander and Oak Moss.

All of the above scents are available in 20cl Candles which have a burn time of approximately 30 hours and wax melts which contain six cubes of pure happiness. The whole pack will give approximately 70 hours burn time.

3 Skin Saviours For Autumn

By Leave a Comment

With the colder weather on its way, I wanted to share some “hero products” with you to help protect your skin and give you 3 skin saviours for Autumn.

The first one is The Cleansing Balm. This 3-in-1 luxury balm removes even the most durable waterproof and longwear makeup whilst also removing negative traces left behind from pollution. You’ll love the versatility of this 6-natural-oils balm which can be used as follows;

Cleanse
A double cleanser starts with an oil to lift sebum, dirt and pollution while nourishing the skin. When water is added the Balm becomes milky and creamy, encapsulating all dirt for effective removal.

Remove Make-up
Removes stubborn longwear make-up and even waterproof mascara in this process.

Mask
Can be used as a 10 minute mask to nourish and hydrate the skin – great for skin of all ages.

The second is The Miracle Mask. This revolutionising moisture hit in a mask with 10% Natural Manuka Honey helps your skin appear instantly brighter and blemish-free. Can be used as a mask as well as an overnight moisturiser for a deeper level of hydration.

Please be advised The Miracle Mask is not suitable for vegans, but was too good to leave out of the collection. The Honey was sourced from an ethical farm and no bees were harmed.

Finally, The Facial Oil. This lightweight Oil contains a unique blend of 5 botanical lipids harnesses a powerful and patented active ingredient, White Lupin Seeds, which have been proven in clinical studies to improve the firmness and elasticity to the skin.

If you would like any additional advice, feel free to leave a comment below or email me, I’d love to help!

Until next time,

Should You Be Using A Retinol?

By Leave a Comment

The Retinol Serum

You may have heard about Retinol, but what is it and why should you incorporate it into your skincare routine? Retinol is a type of Retinoid which is made from Vitamin A. Its job is to stimulate Collagen production. With ongoing use, it helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, creating a smoother, more even complexion.

Collagen gives our skin its elasticity and plumpness and as we hit our thirties, our collagen production starts to decrease. Our skin gets thinner and as a result, fine lines and wrinkles start to appear. This is where The Retinol Serum can help. However, there are a few do’s and don’ts when it comes to incorporating it within your skincare routine…

Why should I only use The Retinol Serum at night?

This is because Retinol can increase your skin’s sensitivity to UV rays, therefore should always be applied during your evening skincare routine, followed by an SPF30 + the next day.

Why is it important to start of using The Retinol Serum gradually?

You will need to build up your skin’s tolerance to Retinol. Therefore you should begin using it 1-2 times a week to start with and then gradually increase to daily use as your skin adjusts. For first time users, I would always recommend a patch test before using.

When should I use it and how much should I use?

You would apply this during your evening skincare routine. After you have cleansed and toned your face, you would apply your Retinol. The Retinol Serum is highly concentrated and therefore less is most definitely more. Only 2-3 drops are needed as it goes a long way. Don’t be tempted to use more than you need, it’s wasting your product and your money. Avoid contact with eyes, nose and mouth. For a guide on how to apply , please click here.

What else do I need to know about The Retinol Serum?

You should avoid using The Retinol Serum if you on any other retinoid treatments and if you are pregnant, this is due to hormonal changes that can effect the skin.

I hope this has helped and if you have an questions about The Retinol Serum or any of the other skincare products within the Sienna X range, please feel free to leave a comment below or get in touch via my Facebook page
