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.

Until next time,

Are Facials Really Worth It?

By Leave a Comment

A Facial is sometimes seen as more of a treat than a necessity, but did you know there are more benefits than you might think? This month I thought I’d share the facts and why a facial is so much more than just an hour of relaxation…

  1. Detoxifies Skin… Removing your make up with just a wipe at the end of the day doesn’t count as cleansing your face. In fact, all this does is move the dirt around it. During your facial, your skin will be deeply cleansed and exfoliated to leave a brighter, smoother and refreshed complexion.
  2. Boosts Collagen… Collagen is effectively the “scaffolding’ of our faces. This is the protein which helps give our skin its plumpness. As we age, our collagen production decreases and so by having a regular facial (every 4-6 weeks, depending on skin type), this can help to improve and boost our collagen production.
  3. Facial Massage… The massage element of a facial is of course one of the most relaxing parts. However, did you know that it also helps to improve blood flow, carrying fresh oxygen to the cells and drain away the toxins via our lymphatic system? Skin will look smoother and less puffy due to the increase in cell renewal.
  4. Reduces Stress… Stress and anxiety can cause massive disruption to our sleep patterns. By using techniques such as EFT, (Emotional Freedom Technique) which feature in our luxury facial , during your evening skincare routine, you can help calm your mind before bed helping you to get a better nights sleep.

If you would like any additional information about our range of Facials or are would like some skincare tips or advice, feel free to get in touch.

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
