Glowing results? 🌟 As someone whose skin tends

Glowing results? 🌟As someone whose skin tends towards the slightly sensitive side I don't often use a lot of strong peels. On the other hand, as someone who also gets the odd breakout there are also times that call for a some impressive exfoliation (but one that won't irritate or cause redness).Enter @theinkeylist Apple Cider Vinegar, possibly one of the most instant-glowy-results products I've ever tried.With a truly horrible smell of apple cider vinegar (unless of course you love the smell of apple cider vinegar, in which case you're in for a treat), this thin gel contains 10% glycolic acid, 5% fruit based acids, and 2% (you guessed it) apple cider vinegar.Easy to apply and quick to dry, this peel starts tingling within minutes on my own skin before rinsing off for some seriously impressive immediate glowing results as well as a noticeably smoother, more even skin tone. Better still, this seems to help clear up any breakouts quickly too.Overall I'm quite the fan (but then again I'm generally a fan of The Inkey List anyway) and, given its price, think it's probably worth checking out for anyone already into their serious peels (like Dr Dennis Gross's Alpha Beta peel). PR samplePlus points: Great for fast, noticeable glowing results. Great price. Cruelty-free. Fragrance-free.Minuses: This really does tingle when you first use it, and is a pretty strong exfoliant, so really sensitive skin types may not enjoy. Also, this really does not smell great- so if you like your skincare on the yummy smelling side this one may not be for you......#theinkeylist #skincareflatlay #skincaredaily #inlovewithskin365 #luxurybeauty #cleanskincare #instaskincare #skincarefirst #skincareritual #protectyourskin #skincarepm #beautyjournalist #beautyobssessed #beautyfavourite #skincareproducts #skincaregoals #abcommunity #quest4glow #glowgetter365 #instabeauty #femfeed

The yummiest smelling scrub? 🧡Who doesn’t love a little luxury (as well as a product that actually delivers on its claims)?And that for me pretty much sums up @theouai Scalp & Body Scrub, which I’m currently enjoying for its abilities to leave me both squeaky clean and post-spa relaxed at the same time.So when my dry shampoo addiction leaves me with an itchy scalp or just slightly limp looking hair I’ve been turning to this (frankly delicious-smelling) scrub once every week (or two if my skin is at all sensitive) to boost my scalp health.A true sugar scrub, this has a smooth, almost honey-like consistency interspersed with varying sized sugar granules.Meanwhile, fatty acids in coconut and sweet almond oils moisturise (making this great for use on the body too), glycerin softens, and probiotics help to keep the scalp’s natural flora and fauna in balance.The blissful light floral scent here (the same as Ouai’s Rose Hair & Body Oil) also makes it sheer luxury to use; perfect for a little at home spa evening.My only slight criticism is that the fragrance here is artificial, which some of the most sensitive skin types might not love.It's also worth pointing out that this doesn't foam hugely so anyone who likes a really clean feel from their scrub might want to mix this with a little shampoo (as I often do). When used as a body scrub though this foams pretty well so replaces my regular shower gel once a week......#ouaihaircare #ouaiaddicted #ouaisted #theouai #luxurybeauty #beautyobsessed #beautytips #beautywriter #luxurycosmetics #beautyjournalist #beautyinfluencer #beautyroutine #beautytipsandtricks #pursuepretty #beautyroutines #crueltyfreebeauty #skincarelove #skincareblogger #skincareobsessed #warmtones #beautyfavourite #skincareproducts #skincaregoals #abcommunity

Thinking about buying? 🧐 As the owner of some

Thinking about buying? 🧐As the owner of some pretty bleach-ravaged hair best described as ‘triangular’ in its natural form, I'm forever on the hunt for products to tame it.And on that search one of my main tools for repairing some of the damage I chuck its way is the @olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector.And since this has worked well for me over the past year or so I thought I'd give a quick overview of what it can and can't do, as well which hair types it's most likely to be helpful for, for anyone who's been debating whether to invest.First up, some background… Olaplex works by using a proprietary ingredient (bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate if you're really interested) to actively repair each strand from the inside out by strengthening its disulphide bonds (the ones that hold hair together). The result is an immediate repairing effect on damaged hair (think heat, colouring or even just regular everyday snagging).And while Olaplex's in-salon treatments (their No 1 and No 2) are designed for intensive repair either alongside colouring/straightening/perming, or even just alone for a boost, No 3 still contains the same main ingredient- just less concentrated.The result is that Olaplex is *great* for people like me with seriously damaged hair, helping to undo some of it and making my hair look and feel thicker and stronger.What this really *isn't* though is any sort of hydrating/moisturising treatment. That means that a. Anyone whose hair isn't noticeably damaged but is instead just dry may not be blown away by their results, and b. If you do use No. 3 and already have dry hair you'll have to make sure to add in plenty of other conditioning ingredients.The good news? If you *are* a damaged hair type like me then, used over time (every week or so), No. 3 has softened my hair, and just generally made it look just slightly less fluffball. In fact, for me this actually rivals the in-salon treatment.My one grumble though...? The bottle size, which just feels minute at 100 ml. And while there is now a 'Supersize' available, at 250 ml it just feels more like the size a normal hair product.Either way though, I'm still a fan...

Dewy hydration? 🌟 In my eternal quest for the

Dewy hydration? 🌟In my eternal quest for the dewy skin I’ve been through my fair share of facial oils to either mix with my foundation as a base for makeup.Given that (plus my general love for all things @herbivorebotanicals) it was only a matter of time until I tried a cult favourite, their Orchid Youth Preserving Facial Oil.While definitely not a dry oil, this lightweight alternative is easy to work onto skin and absorbs quickly, leaving just a slight oiliness behind on my skin, and making it one of my favourites for nighttime use or during the day as part of a glowing skin look.One of the standout features of this oil is that it offers a blend of humectants (which attract water to the skin) and emollients (which keep oil and water from leaving skin’s top layer), making it both hydrating and moisturising. Orchid extract (a humectant) also contains calcium and zinc, while camellia seed and jasmine sambac oils add moisture, and squalane (a powerful emollient derived from olive in this case) protects skin against moisture loss.Herbivore recommends using between 4 and 6 drops before massaging in and allowing 1 to 3 minutes for it to absorb before applying makeup. But acually, while this is lovely pre-makeup, my preferred way to use this is mixed with my makeup.Using something like Drunk Elephant’s D Bronzi Anti-Pollution Drops or alternatively a foundation or even concealer, this creates a lightweight, dewy finish that looks particualrly lovely on no makeup-makeup days.Similarly, to add glow to a matte cream blusher, a tiny amount of this mixed in adds a luminosity to any cheek products. Ditto for highlighter too.Beyond the relaxing scent of jasmine, the results are healthy, hydrated skin and a gentle glow, which works even better when mixed with my favourite foundations; the Kosas Tinted Face Oil or Glossier Skin Tint.As a bonus, this natural product is also cruelty-free and vegan..Plus points: A great oil for skin types in need of both hydration *and* moisture.Minuses: Oilier types might find this a little rich.#herbivorebotanicals #faceoil #facialoil #combinationskin #dryskintips #skincarereview #skincare4me #skincareroutine
