    How to: apply serum

    March 23, 2012 /

    Serums confuse a lot of people. They never know why they should use them, when they should use them, or what type to use. We de-mystify them for you.

In a world where there seems to be millions of ski In a world where there seems to be millions of skincare options, it’s very difficult to know what your skin may or may not need. Customisation is definitely the way forward for brands. The ability to be able to give their customers exactly what they need, based specifically on their personal needs will be what differentiates them from their competition. The latest brand to offer targeted solutions for the end user is Diego dalla Palma. Head over to the site to learn more about their new Skin Map range. #gifted
I loved the Max Factor Miracle Veil Loose Powder. I loved the Max Factor Miracle Veil Loose Powder. It was one of the only formulas that looked natural on my skin. I sadly think it's been discontinued (like all good products 🤦🏻‍♀️), so grab it if you find it. As I'm on the look out for a replacement, please let me know your recommendations for loose powders for dry(ish) skin.
Did you know that, on average, we sleep 1.5 hours Did you know that, on average, we sleep 1.5 hours less per night that we did 50 years ago? (I’m going to hazard that it’s even more since Covid.) Maybe not a huge number, but it says something about the lives we live now. While there is no quick fix for disrupted sleep patterns, there is one for tired, puffy eyes. Fans of Filorga will know the cult classic Optim-Eyes Triple Action Eye Contour well. The product is son popular, it has been a best seller for 10 years, with one sold every ten seconds. To give their customers an on-the-go option, the brand has developed a portable stick version. Delivering the same triple action, anti-fatigue ingredients, Optim-Eyes Refresh (R430) delivers an immediate cooling boost to the eye area. #gifted
When your skin is as dry as mine, it needs extra h When your skin is as dry as mine, it needs extra help. My all-time favourite body cream is optiphi’s Body Curve Evergreen Body Lotion (R277). It provides both immediate and long-term relief for dry and sensitive skin. Lactic acid is the main hydrating ingredient, as it helps maintain the skin’s natural moisture levels, as well as brightening hyperpigmentation. Allantoin not only hydrates, but also offers barrier protection for sensitive skin. The formula is finished off with Imperata Cylindrica Extract (a type of grass) for even stronger barrier protection. After a few days of using it, my skin is always smooth, hydrated and plump. #gifted
Summer, winter, spring, winter, sun, sleet, sun, s Summer, winter, spring, winter, sun, sleet, sun, snow, rain…help. Cape Town weather in the last week. It’s hardly surprising that my lips are dry, peeling and sore. But help is at hand, thankfully. Spanish brand, Letibalm, was developed specifically to repair and regenerate the skin barrier. The rich emollient formulas repair, soothe and protect damaged skin on the lips and around the nose. Available in a variety of formulas, including paediatric, there is a solution for everyone. #gifted

2020 will forever be spoken of in hushed tones. A 2020 will forever be spoken of in hushed tones. As well as everything else, so many of us have been struggling with skin issues. Super dry, but with delightful breakouts? 2020’s got you covered. For those days when your skin is just not behaving and you’re not sure where to start, Filorga may just have the answer. The new Scrub & Detox Intense Purity Foam Exfoliator (R530) targets tired, distressed skin. With dual-action exfoliation, combined with pore cleansing actives, it will leave your skin revived and super clean in just 5 minutes. Volcanic micro-spheres deliver gentle mechanical exfoliation, while papain offers a deeper, chemical resurfacing. Charcoal and powerful antioxidants give the skin a purifying detox, which is finished off with a protective layer of hydrating Vitamin E and anti-inflammatory niacinamide. Apply twice a week to damp skin. Massage over the face and leave for 3 minutes before thoroughly rinsing with warm water. #gifted

On a recent trip to Clicks, I picked up these two On a recent trip to Clicks, I picked up these two liquid eyeshadows from Wet ‘n Wild; of course I did, I had gone in for a toothpaste… Anyway, these are Megalast Liquid Catsuit Crème Liquid Eyeshadows (R100 each, but the brand is often on special offer). The browner one is called Sand Castles and the pinker one is Putty In My Hands. You apply with the doe foot applicator and then blend with either a brush (I love my Real Techniques Eye Shade brush) or your fingers. The formula is rich and creamy, and once blended, it leaves you with a soft focus velvet finish with great colour payoff. The colour lasts all day with very minimal creasing. I’d highly recommend for those of you who can’t be bothered to faff with your makeup during the day
We’ve all had a fair amount of time to test out We’ve all had a fair amount of time to test out new products, rediscover old favourites and use up ones we’ve been meaning to for months (or years). These are four masks that I used over lockdown. Two are new, one is new to me and there’s an old favourite for good measure. @labosvrsouthafrica B3 Masque Hydra Intensif (R200) is possibly the best hydrating sheet mask I’ve ever used. Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) and hyaluronic acid is one of my favourite skin cocktails, and for good reason; it targets inflammation and deeply hydrates in one go. @filorgasa Lift-Mask Ultra-Lifting Mask (R155) is a mini face lift in a packet. Yep, 15 minutes with this baby, and my skin looked and felt firmer. Obviously just a temporary fix, but a must have before big events! @avene_sa Soothing Radiance Mask (R265) has been in my mask collection since it launched. Whenever my skin is feeling ‘meh’, I know this rich mask will get the glow back immediately. @SorbetGroup Smoothing Brightening and Revitalizing Sheet Mask (R54.95) is perfect for days when your skin is lacklustre, whether it be from too many bubbles the night before, too little sleep, or that time of the month, this mask will pep up your complexion.  #gifted
My skin needs some serious hydration when the weat My skin needs some serious hydration when the weather gets cooler. My legs look almost reptilian if I don't apply body cream regularly. This rich cream from @beaucience is the one I've been using for the last few weeks. The formula contains nourishing organic marula and avocado oil, along with neroli, geranium and ylang ylang for a gorgeous scent. It is a very rich formula, and takes some time to absorb, but I apply it in the evening and leave it to do its thing overnight. My skin is soft and hydrated in the morning. #gifted
