Normal-Combination Skin Reviews
Skin feels ‘OK’ with or without a moisturiser. Can go through periods of being a little dehydrated or oily either all over or in sections. Can sometimes just need a ‘boost’ in certain areas.

Malin+Goetz Recovery Treatment Oil
After looking at the Clarins Boosters yesterday, I wanted to cover this as a much better alternative to the Clarins Repair Booster. This contains, among others, 9 natural oils to help repair, protect and strengthen the moisture barrier. I love Malin+Goetz skincare anyway; I use the Vitamin E moisturiser most days, so for me this…

Clarins Boosters Repair & Detox Finally Reviewed
The Clarins Boosters have remained un-reviewed and sat in my review pile forever and for no good reason. I’ve had some sort of mental block on them. I do also have the third Clarins Booster Energy, but I don’t feel it’s anything new; look at both Clinique Fresh Pressed (actually really similar packaging now I think…

Seeing Double: Clinique Fresh Pressed Daily Booster vs. The Body Shop Vitamin C 10 Day Glow Boosting Concentrate
As I mentioned in my previous article, the Clinique Fresh Pressed Daily Booster is not a new innovation on the market. The Body Shop first release their version almost 10 years ago in the form of the Vitamin C 10 Day Glow Boosting Concentrate (formerly Vitamin C Facial Radiance Powder). The two product concepts are entirely…

How To Use NEW Clinique Fresh Pressed 7-Day System with Pure Vitamin C and Full Ingredients List
This isn’t a new product concept on the market, but as Clinique does, they’ve taken the technology; perfected it and then tested it to the ends of the earth. Vitamin C treatments tend to be quite active, so the fact this has been tested and approved for sensitive skin is quite a coup. The Fresh…

NEW Clinique Pep-Start Skincare
Earlier this week I was in Manchester visiting the Clinique Pep Start #PepStream tour, which you can read about here. As mentioned, Pep-Start consists of 5 products including the Pep-Start eye cream launched at the beginning of this year. The collection is targeting younger, on-the-go skin that could just do with a bit of a wake-up –…

Aesop Lucent Facial Concentrate
This is definitely something a bit different from Aesop. I often associate them only with skincare that’s nourishing and filled mostly with luxurious but basic natural ingredients – some great, some I don’t like quite as much. The Lucent Facial Concentrate definitely falls into the former and is loaded with active ingredients. The serum, and that’s…

It’s La Mer and don’t you forget it + NEW Moisturizing Soft Lotion
Finally. It’s been a long one coming but Creme de La Mer is finally gone. They’ve been trying to change the name for years and already has been except in France, the UK and Japan due to highly complicated licensing and trademark reasons. But finally ELC have won and it shall be known as La…

Non-Greasy Comfort Perricone MD OVM Cream
When I started MANFACE, I swore by gel creams. My skin was always oily, always breaking out. 5 years later, my skin has changed. It can still get oily, but using proper skincare and exfoliating well, my sebaceous glands are doing as they’re told and apart from a little shine – I’m relatively skin-normal. I…

If you can meet with Triumph & Disaster…
This is a very new brand to me and was kindly sent to me by MANKIND to try out and see what I think. This isn’t a sponsored piece either, but I’m always excited to share new brands that I think are effective, accessible and gosh-darn pretty! This New-Zealand brand is beautifully executed. Their packaging…

Bobbi Brown Detox, Nourish and Radiance Face Masks
You know I love Bobbi Brown skincare. The products are solid and whereas skincare companies tend to focus on how the skin looks or skin health – Bobbi Brown focuses on both. These three treatment masks are designed for all skin types between them and everyone will find something they’re looking for. Each of the Bobbi…
