Emma Hardie Midas Touch Revitalising Eye Serum

They say that your eyes are the windows to your soul as I’m getting older there’s no denying that anyone looking into those eyes can see that my soul is aging!

Now, the skin around the eye area is thinner than the skin on the rest of your face so naturally, requires a slightly different approach to looking after it. 

Following on from the success of Emma Hardie’s Midas Touch Face Serum is her new Midas Touch Revitalising Eye Serum (£49).

 

This lightweight serum has been created to lift and tighten the eye area while reducing puffiness, smoothing fine lines, fading dark circles and boosting cellular renewal, all while offering nourishing and moisturising qualities.

Sounds a lot huh.

Housed within a sleek, chic gold cylindrical vessel with the iconic EH adorning the cap, this little bottle is packed full of skin loving ingredients designed to help brighten and tighten the eye area.

You won’t be surprised at all to hear that it contains Hyaluronic acid as this little gem works to keep skin hydrated, moisturised and plump throughout the day. 

Aloe Vera offers a cooling and soothing sensation to help liven up tired eyes while Raspberry seed oil which in rich in fatty acids and Vitamin E creates a condition lipid barrier for protection and moisture retention.

Sweet Almond oil also features thanks to its vitamins A, B1, B2 and B6 plus it’s a great skin  conditioner while an ingredient called Glycofilm acts as a natural shield to protect against environmental aggressors and damage.

It also contains something called ‘Beautifeye’ which is a technology to strengthen and lift the eye area, blur fine lines and fade dark circles. All rather impressive I’m sure you’ll agree.

As for the serum itself, its actually slightly thicker than I had expected (before remembering that the eye area requires different treatment!)

It has the most delicate, aromatic scent which is barely detectable but is pleasant nonetheless and glides onto the skin like a dream.

To apply, dispense a small amount onto the eye contour area in the morning after cleansing and gently tap it around then blend with your fingers until all visible traces have disappeared.

I found that it takes a little while to sink in so don’t apply if you’re in a hurry to get our make up on!

I like using it the most at night where I apply a generous quantity and sit back and enjoy the cooling and soothing experience of my windows, sorry I mean eyes, receiving their daily TLC.

Emma Hardie’s Midas Touch Revitalising Eye Serum is available now and costs £49.

Emma Hardie Brilliance Facial Oil

I love a facial oil. 

Super nourishing and hydrating they are the perfect addition to your skincare regime for when the winter months creep in, the weather gets colder, the central heating clicks in and it all wreaks havoc with your skin.

A particular favourite of mine is the Emma Hardie Brilliance Facial Oil (£39).

Suitable for all skin types but particularly those who suffer with dry or dehydrated skin this lightweight facial oil complex features a blend of nine essential oils and plant extracts to help promote your skins elasticity, strength and radiance.

Super hydrating and nourishing the treatment works to condition and reconstruct your skin to enhance its resilience and protect from environmental damage.

The oil itself possesses the most beautiful aromatic scent. Rich and decadent its aroma swirls, capturing your senses and relaxing your mind.

Palma rose, orange, mint, vanilla, geranium, chamomile, lemon, rose and lavender replenish moisture and re-balance your skin while Omega 3 helps restructure the skin and promote elasticity.

Camelina oil offers powerful antioxidant properties to protect the skin from environmental aggressors and Moringa seed (the ingredient at the heart of Emma’s range) which is a source of skin essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidant rich phytonutrients helps to rehabilitate dull, tired looking skin. 

Designed to be used under a moisturiser on freshly cleansed skin, apply a few drops and smooth over your face with your fingertips, gently massaging it into your skin.

The gorgeous scent lingers on even after the oil has been absorbed and you can instantly feel how soft and moisturised it has left your skin.

I suffer with oily skin so I only tend to use a small amount of oil but you can up the drops depending on how dry your skin is.

I particularly like to treat myself to this oil at night-time, where I allow my skin to drink in all the goodness and recharge its batteries!

It is particularly good at soothing and repairing dry chapped skin which I suffer with around my nose from where I’m constantly blowing it thanks to kids and their winter colds which they kindly share with me!

Emma Hardie’s Brilliance Facial Oil is available now and it costs £39 for 30ml.
