Skin Care Discovery: Lotil Cream

Lotil Orginal Cream has been a product I have seen in the shops for the longest time; yet I have never picked it up. I knew it was one of those cult beauty firm favourites, and recently learnt that the cream has been around for one hundred years, with the formula never changing. My skin is usually classed as a combination skin type rather than more dry or more oily, but as of late it has become a lot more dry and irritated. I know that Lotil is said to be brilliant for dry skin and eczema, so I was hoping it would do great things for my skin.

I have been using this cream as a day and night cream (sinking into my skin after my morning skin care routine, and applying a thicker layer before bed at night time) and it seems to have really helped to combat the dry, patchy areas of my face. My skin does feel softer and I am definitely going to continue using this product in my skin care routine. It is super affordable too, I only wish I had tried it sooner.
Available to buy at Boots for £3.59.

The Best Eye Cream I've Tried This Year

It isn't often I find an eye cream that I completely fall in love with. To be honest, eye creams are something that I struggle with as the majority of eye creams I have tried in the past don't achieve everything I want from them. I want an eye cream to help to reduce my puffy eyes and dark circles. I want an eye cream to help hide the lines underneath my eyes.
I've tried a variety of eye creams, from budget brands to high end, and none of them have been able to do all of this. That was until I tried the Benefit Its Potent Eye Cream.
I have never really been a huge believer that eye creams can transform your eyes from looking puffy to flawless, but this one does a pretty good job at hiding my tired eyes and making my skin underneath my eyes look clear and really helps to reduce lines and dark circles. I have been using this solely for around 3 or 4 Months now and I have noticed on photographs of myself since using this, that my eyes look less tired and my dark circles have dramatically reduced. I struggle with my sleeping routine and this has always been visible under my eyes, but since I have been using this product it seems to have reduced those pesky dark circles almost completely.

Madara Regenerating Night Cream

When it comes to skincare, I have mentioned before that I have a few firm favourites but I am always on the look out for new products to try. I was wanting to try out a new night cream, and came across the Madara Regenerating Night Cream which claims to help stimulate cell renewal and reduce visible fine lines, as well as repairing skin damage and supporting skin's restorative functions. As the brand claims it helps to achieve hydrated skin, I was eager to give this a go.
The night cream is natural and organic; not tested on animals, and is suitable for all skin types. Perfect for those with sensitive skin!

I have been using this as my only night cream during August, so that I could see if I see any difference to my skin. I thought that the product felt really silky and didn't feel tacky or greasy once applied to the face. After using this for a few Weeks, I have noticed my skin is left feeling soft to touch. I think it is one of those products which leaves your skin feeling very 'fresh' the next Day. I am impressed with the way my skin feels after using this for a length of time. I'm not sure if it is a regenerating product, but I do notice my skin looks and feels better than it did before.
I think the packaging looks great and I love the silver pump. I really like simple packaging like this.

I use Madara's Balancing Toner; which I have talked about previously here, and think that both products work really well in conjunction together.

I would recommend this product if you are looking for a night cream which helps to smooth out your skin. I personally do feel like it is a high end price, but the product itself works really well for me and it is naturally made so it is worth the price for me.

The Madara Regenerating Night Cream* is available online at Mypure for the retail price of £26.

Yung Skin Face Cream and Food

I have been getting more into my skin care recently, and when contacted to see if I wanted to try some of the Yungskin* products, of-course I said yes! I had heard a little through the grapevine about the Yungskin face cream, and being very intrigued to try the Yungskin 'Food' - I was very excited to trial these products out.

Yung Skin is a brand which is based on the principles of homeopathy and acupuncture to help improve mature skin. Yung Skin products aim to "restore skins vitality, regenerate and rejuvenate skin cells, tighten skin, reduce appearance of wrinkles and blemishes, and to ensure youthful looking and glowing skin". The products utilise quantum energy science and cellular stimulation to rejuvenate the skin. It is all very scientific and technical - in simpler terms, the products have basically been infused with energies which activate the Acupuncture points and muscular commands in the skin.

Yung Skin Face Cream in Light

I decided on the face cream in light, as it is more appropriate for me as I have young skin. The rich face cream is more suited for more mature skin. I opted to use this face cream as my day cream and night cream. The cream is not too thick, heavy or greasy which is perfect for using both day and night. I have been using this for a couple of weeks now and have noticed that my blemish prone skin has calmed down a lot. My skin feels softer and slightly tighter. When I first began using the cream, it felt slightly tingly on the skin, but nothing to be concerned about - this is how it works - it is just the blood circulation. As I am in my mid - Twenties I luckily have not had any wrinkle concerns just yet, but time is ticking and I definitely want to take care of my skin the best I can. I would recommend this face cream if you are looking for a product that not only moisturises your skin, but also promotes healthier looking skin and improves the appearance of your skin. I am really impressed with all of the benefits of using this face cream.
Yung Skin also kindly sent some little sample pots to maybe pass onto a friend, which I am going to give to my Sister - I am sure she will love it just as much as I do.

Yungskin Food

The 'Food' was something I was very interested in trying out. Yung Skin state that "pH alkaline liquid which has been infused Homeopathically with the energies of various ingredients to feed and rejuvenate the skin from within.". It is suggested you use the face cream and food in combination together for best results, which is what I did.
There are minimal ingredients in the food; all including properties which help to rejuvenate the skin from within. You can read more about them here. I added 10 drops in a small glass of water both Morning and Night. Personally, I couldn't taste any change to my water, which is a great plus as it made no difference.

In conclusion, I feel my skin feels and looks healthier. My redness areas have calmed down a noticeable amount - enough that people have commented on my skin looking 'glowing'. I would repurchase this in the future. Although I am no science - whiz and don't know the ins - and - outs of how it actually works, what I know is that it does work for me and my skin. I have found it quite interesting to find out a little more about looking after my skin in preparation for when I get older.

*The Yungskin product range, in the EU, will be distributed only through certified practitioners and beauty therapists - because the facelift reaction on some people can be quite dramatic and Yungskin feel there is a need for the client to be educated by the practitioner so that if a reddening of their skin does take place they know that it is normal for them and will abate within 20 minutes.
