ELUCENT


ELUCENT SKINCARE
Whitening Range 
Review!
http://elucentskincare.com/

So we all know as we get older our skin ages along with us. This resulting in fine lines, wrinkles,
saggy skin, age spots and loss of collagen. I like many began my skincare routine in my tweens,
predominately almost always targeted toward acne and more recently anti-ageing products.
This is my first experience using whitening skincare products and learning more about the benefits
and seeing some great results!

I never really knew much about what 'whitening' actually meant when it came to this term used in
skincare. Initially I thought I heard somewhere along the line it was a product those with naturally
darker skin used to lighten up their skin's colour gradually. I am pretty sure these kinds of products
still exist, however these products from Elucent Skincare are more targeted toward lightening age
spots and brightening the skin - therefore the term 'whitening' makes complete sense!
In addition this range also evens out uneven skin tone, making it appear youthful, glowing and at it's
absolute best!

Let's take a closer look...

Elucent Whitening Exfoliating Cleanser

150g - $20.99

I don't just cleanse my face twice a day because it is just part of my skincare routine. I do this because I have had enough experience to know that if I don't then my skin goes crazy and I break out in spots, my pores look gunky and I can just feel the build up of dead skin upon the surface. For me, having
my face cleansed regularly makes a massive difference!

I particularly love exfoliants because these types of cleansers seem to work best on my skin. My skin
is neither oily nor dry, however does break out if I am not on top of it. I like to exfoliate my whole
body, especially my face every second day or so. This keeps my skin feeling smooth and soft by
gently cleansing away the skin cells we naturally shed everyday. Leave them there and that's when I
notice the rough skin and bumps coming up because the pores on my skin are being blocked and
cannot breathe.

This exfoliating cleanser is quite mild in terms of texture and feel. It is in no way harsh on the skin
and the tiny grains cleanse away at the skin gently leaving it feeling refreshed and new again.

Elucent Whitening Day Moisturiser

95ml - $34.99

More and more I am leaning toward moisturisors which contain some kind of SPF. I am even looking
for this more and more in my makeup I use everyday! Sun protection is imperative to keeping a
youthful appearance and long term health on both the surface and beneath the top layers of the skin.

This light wright hydrator not only contains a broad spectrum SPF 30 is also contains ingredients
such as Sunflower Seed Oil which soothes, brightens and moisturisers the skin as well as aiding in
the skins cell reproduction. This product also brightens the skin, increases elasticity, evens out the
skin tone and boosts collagen levels! That is a whole lot of power in just one simple daily product!

The pump bottle makes it so easy to use and gives you just the right amount of product per
application. The clear cap helps to keep everything protected, clean and stay fresh.

Elucent Whitening Spot Corrector

30g - $34.99

I feel like I have either been partly lucky or just super sun smart throughout my life to as yet am to
discover any sun spots on my skin. However I am still fairly young so who know what time will do
to my skin in the years to come. I figure prevention is key and so I figure whilst I have this I might as
well just use it anyway!

I apply a pea size amount of this product all over my face and neck a few times a week. If I do have
any age spots just beneath the surface than hopefully this product filled with the skin whitening
benefits of Vitamins B3, C & E as well as Emblica Fruit Extract and Safflower Seed Oil will keep
any spots from appearing.

Elucent Whitening Eye Cream

15g - $34.99

Using eye cream is usually a step within my skincare routine I tend to forget which is really slack
since around the delicate eye area where the skin is thinner it really is so important to give that part
of your face some extra love. I have a few light crows feet which I feel like has surfaced due to not
always remembering or misplacing where my sunnies are therefore not wearing them all the time
when I am in the sun or driving. Squinting is not cute. >_<

Having a whole collection of skincare products from the same range makes it nice and easy NOT to
forget to use this! I have these all lined up and ready to use in my bathroom every morning and every
time so it is impossible for me not to see them and so I can't forget which is fantastic!

This eye cream is very gentle and feels quite soothing both in the morning when my eyes are a bit
puffy and at night when they are just plain tired! The thin tube and small hole gives great control to
make sure I don't over do the amount of product I use each time.

Elucent Whitening Night Moisturiser

50g - $34.99

Ah night time moisturising! Lathering on a thick layer of moisturiser after a relaxing hot shower
after a long day is a simple yet favourable habit I savour each day! I don't get a lot of time to myself
so it's nice when I do get to indulge in something nice for myself for 10-15 minutes each day.

Although this is just a facial night moisturiser (I have others for the body) it it so important to me to
let my face soak it in and let it work to help replenish my skin whilst I sleep each night. Again, this
moisturiser helps to reduce dark spots and evens out skin tone. I feel like since using this whole
entire range of products over the past few months my skin really does seem to have a brighter,
more even and youthful appearance. It is amazing how having some uneven skin tone can really
make a huge difference to your overall appearance and I feel like it was ageing me!

Elucent Skincare can be purchased from Chemist Warehouse & My Chemist both in store and
online! Elucent also offer a whole entire Anti-Ageing Skincare range! (I have my eye on this!)
Make sure you check them out!

FACE AND BODY


~  Australian Bush Flower Essences  ~

Love System

Gentle Purifying Mask & Exfoliating Cream!


It seems quite common now a days to find a wide range of different multi use products, however
I don't recall coming across too many exfoliating/mask products for both the face and body do you?

I am a big fan of this certified organic, Australian brand having previously tried and loved a range of
their Love System products already and honestly, simply can't get enough of them! All of their 
products give off this amazing natural aroma which you can't mistake for anything but smelling like
Australia! I am proud to be fourth generation Aussie and both of my children make fifth in our family.


Australian Bush Flower Essences travel the country sourcing a diverse range of beautiful native
Australian flowers to use their essence in their products. I cannot stress enough how beautiful their
products feel on the skin, their are all so gentle and soothing, each with their own specific benefits, 
their wide range means you are sure to find something that will work for you. See the full range here.
There is even a samplers pack if you just want to try out a few things first. :)

The latest I have been trying out has come at such a good time as I have gone far too long without 
exfoliating my face and body, and I love the feeling of removing all those dead skin cells which build
up daily! I religiously cleanse and moisturising my whole body twice daily, however before using this
I knew it was time to start investing some of my time to scrubbing as my skin was beginning to feel 
rough, a bit bumpy and just feeling a little bit blah. 




This is a creamy formulation with deep red grains of natural bush flowers contains a mix of 
Angelsword, Bauhinia, Billy Goat Plum, Bottlebrush, Five Corners, Flannel Flower & Fringed Violet.

This multi use product also moisturises your skin which is such an important factor after
exfoliation! Can also be left on longer as a mask
for a deep cleanse.  Win win win!







Both the tube & box can be recycled and are available to purchase directly from the ABFE
website here for $22.95.

Also available at Planet Health in NSW and
a few select Practitioners nation wide.

YES TO CARROTS


~  Yes To Carrots  ~

http://www.yestocarrots.com

The 'Yes To' brand has been around for as long as I have been a 'Beauty Guru.' I first head about
them way back when I began watching other beauty crazed individuals like myself talk about and
review them on their Youtube channels and blogs and I thought they looked so good!

Fast forward a few years and here I am finally getting my chance to try them and to tell you all about
them! Hooray! 'Yes To' just in case you haven't heard don't only say yes to carrots. They also have
ranges of beauty goodness for your face, body, hair & even baby not only in the Carrots range but
also in a variety of other delicious fruits & veg including Blueberries, Coconut, Tomato, Cucumber & even Grapefruit!


Exfoliating Cleanser
I honestly prefer exfoliating cleansers over any other kind because I feel like my skin always needs
a good scrubbing to remove dead skin cell build up otherwise I can just feel the roughness on the
surface of my skin. This scrub is so so nice and it leaves my skin so smooth and ready for moisturising
with the matching Daily Facial Moisturiser. (See below) This product contains organic carrots as well
as Shea Butter and other 98% natural ingredients. RRP: $14.99 (Buy!)

Daily Facial Moisturiser 
Has anyone else noticed it getting hotter and hotter each year? The sun seems to be getting closer
and as I get older it just becomes more and more essential to me to take extra care of my skin. Not
only for appearance sake. The sun is the enemy when it comes to premature wrinkles, sun spots and
dull, damaged skin. It is important to me to look after my skin from the harsh UV rays to protect my
body on the inside as well. This moisturiser makes my skin look and feel amazing, it doesn't feel like
it's clogging my pores and I love that 'Yes To' products are cruelty free and this particular product is
97% natural. RRP: $23.99 (Buy!)


The 'Yes To Carrots' range is available to purchase from Priceline, Blooms Chemist, Amcal
& Guardian Pharmacy.

Have you tried any products from the 'Yes To' range?
Which is your favourite?

Clearasil Daily Face Scrub


Clearasil
Daily Vitamins & Extracts
Daily Face Scrub!



Recently I was fortunate enough to win a tube of this
the beautiful Sarah over at the All Her Pretty Little Things Blog!

I absolutely love this scrub as well as the wash also available in this
cleansing range so today I am going to share with you my thoughts
and some info on the product.

What I love most about this scrub is that it is quite abrasive but feels
absolutely amazing on your skin! The formula is super thick and very
creamy and smells so fresh and feels very soothing. 

You don't need to use a lot of product for each use, so this
product is excellent value for money as it will last you ages.

Burts Bees Facial Cleanser! ♡

-
I have been a fan of Burts Bees products for a long time and when I recently received this sample tube of their facial cleanser in the mail I couldn't wait to try it! 
-

This swatch of the cleanser shows it to be a clear light lemon colour consistency with small white exfoliating jojoba beads in it. These beads are very sparse which makes this super gentle on the skin. The cleanser also contains Royal jelly which helps skin appear younger. 
-
All ingredients are 99% natural which is great for your skin and the environment. Whenever I think of any Burts Bees product, I think of them smelling like honey. It must be because of the classic yellow packaging or the cute little bee mascot. Either way, this cleanser does not smell like honey. It has quite a pleasant, natural smelling scent that I quite enjoy as it makes me feel relaxed as I am cleansing my face. 
-
I know warm water is best at opening up your pores for a better cleanse, however,  in the mornings I just have to wash my face with freezing cold water or else I don't wake up. I feel like it gets the blood flowing and totally shocks me into being awake. At night though I like to do the opposite and cleanser with super warm water as it relaxes me after a long hard day.

Neutrogena Pore Refining Exfoliating Cleanser!

~ NEUTROGENA ~


Review!


Thanks to Beautyheaven and Neutrogena, a few months ago I was given the opportunity to trial and review this new product. 
I feel like now that I am well over half way through the bottle and have been using it twice a day, I can feel confident in writing a more detailed review.

The formula of this cleanser is white and creamy. It contains micro beads that feel like sand throughout it generously. These are quite gentle on my skin, so I have found it hasn't irritated my skin using it twice a day. My skin is not sensitive and generally loves a good exfoliation regularly. 

My skin has not dried out, but feels moisturised after each use. My skin is acne prone and hasn't broken out and has remained as clear as ever whilst I've been using this.

I wouldn't completely limit using this on just on your face. This is also great as an all over body exfoliant.  Only downside, and it is a minor one and a common concern like with a lot of cleansers, this stings to high hell if you are unlucky enough to get it in your eyes. 

As far as this cleanser minimising and refining my pores, I feel like it has made some noticeable difference. One of my main skin pet peeves and concerns of mine is that I have large pores. I believe it has something to do with my skin type and my genes. In the past I have found toners do a pretty good job at keeping my pores clear and minimised at least temporarily. But nothing like permanently minimising them as this cleanser claims. I have noticed a difference where my pores are largest. This being around the tops of my cheeks towards my nose, between my eyebrows, my nose and chin. 

I am excited about this new product and definitely recommend giving it a try and don't be disheartened if you don't see a noticeable difference immediately.  Persistence is key with this product.
