💙 THE RETINOL CREAM:

This best-selling jewel was thoughtfully created to target blemishes, fine lines, uneven skin tone & signs of aging with a gentle yet powerful formula featuring a maximum-strength Retinol + a botanical HA Complex! Designed for 2x daily use - out of abundance of caution I use only once per day. It’s totally suitable for sensitive skin and has given mine that much sought after hydration & smoothness! The very first ingredient is Aloe Vera so you know it’s super hydrating! Only a small pea-size amount is needed, which easily glides over entire face & neck. I’ve been using for a month without any irritation or dryness. Yay!!

🧡 THE VITAMIN C SERUM:

This potent little gem of brightening Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate & a special blend of botanicals is a must-have for every routine. This gently provides my skin with much needed protection from free-radicals and delivers a  supple & nourished feel. A little goes a long way with this serum so I just dispense a half dropper which covers my face & neck. This is fragrance-free, with a non-sticky finish that absorbs after about 1 minute… it’s water based without an oily residue. Also plays nicely with other products, SPF, makeup etc.

🧡💙Power Couple: The serum + cream work synergistically - use together for a youthful, summer ready glow!!

💙🧡❤️ LilyAna has a beautiful website featuring comprehensive info and a wonderful range of products. After perusing all their fantastic products you need more help, try taking their SKIN QUIZ!

MY TIP: LilyAna offers “Little Lilies” which are the cutest minis ever - I’ll be ready for summer travel with these!

Product Review: Naturium Retinols

Retinol ~ the gold standard?

Here is my full review of the Retinol Face Oil & Retinol Complex Cream from @naturium

💙 Good to know: Retinol is the over-the-counter version of tretinoin/retinoic acid. Both are within the Vitamin A category known as Retinoids. When Retinols, a weaker version of the retinoic acids, are used on the face they help stop the breakdown of collagen & stimulate elastin

production.

💙 The face oil is an advanced retinoid featuring a non-irritating formula to boost hydration & overall skin plumpness. It’s not greasy & absorbs fairly quick - a few minutes for me.

💙 The Complex Cream is formulated with a 2.5% retinol + bakuchiol complex to hydrate skin & reduce the signs of aging like fine lines, lose of elasticity, hyperpigmentation... all the things I need help with.

💙 Overall: These products are gentle, non-drying, and seem to be helping to smooth out my skin which looks & feels more refined with a plumper, hydrated end result.

<I’ve used every other night for almost 1 month>

Do you think Retinol is indeed the gold standard ingredient for anti-aging skincare products??

Don’t forget about your hands!

It’s Hand Care Awareness Day!

Not really - I just made that up, but it should be a thing!! I do adore a good hand cream though...

🖐 I know everyone’s washing their hands more than usual & doing lots of disinfecting so using copious amounts of hand cream is probably part of the new norm.

🖐 However - it’s ideal to use hand cream products featuring anti-aging formulas like the Super Retinol Anti-Aging Hand Treatment from Beauty Pie which provides smoothing & renewing. 

This is a fab nighttime cream.

🖐 Fun Fact: I also like to use anti-aging products that perhaps didn’t work out so well on my face - like the Retinol treatment from The Inky List,  repurposed as a nighttime hand treatment - I follow this with a rich hand cream 👉 During the daytime, be sure to wear sunscreen!!
