Roc X SJP

 

RoC Skincare have recently launched their #lookforwardproject in partnership with Sarah Jessica Parker to provide education and resources on the scientifically proven power of Optimism and its positive impact on mental wellbeing, stress reduction, skin health and longevity.

To help champion this movement towards optimism, long-time optimist Sarah Jessica Parker has hand-picked her favourite RoC products and created a limited-edition set.

“The RoC® #LookForwardProject feels like an ongoing conversation. Optimism is the gateway to possibilities in life. I rely on it.” Sarah Jessica Parker.

 

 

Now I don't know about you, but I'm well and truly here for SJP's skincare advice. 

I mean, have you seen her in the new Hocus Pocus 2 flick? 

Its been 29 years since the release of the first film and my god does that woman look incredible!

Now, this beautiful set comprises of three full sized products from the Multi Correxion range to help re-plump, hydrate and boost your skins natural beauty.

 

 

Nestled neatly within a fab SJP x RoC Signature Bag which matches the luxuriant, soft, teal hues of the products you’ll find a Multi Correxion Hydrate & Plump Moisturiser, a Multi Correxion Hydate & Plump Serum Capsules and a Multi Correxion Hydrate & Plump Eye Cream.

Begin your first step to juicy, hydrated, healthy looking skin with these super cute capsules (£35.99).

Encapsulated to lock in their potency and efficacy, these perfectly measured little teal jewels contain a dose of fast working hyaluronic acid.

 

 

Renowned for its ability to retain and lock in moisture, these capsules help to draw moisture from within the skin, bringing it to the surface to ensure maximum plumping power.

Visibly plumper skin results in a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helping you to retain a youthful glow.

 

 

To use, gently twist the 100% biodegradable capsule to open before smoothing the lightweight, silky serum over your freshly cleansed face.

Its particularly useful to use of an evening as its at night that your skin is most receptive to hydration and renewal.

 

 

Quickly absorbed, it instantly leaves your skin feeling wonderfully soft and nourished, plump and healthy.

Next is the Hydrate & Plump Moisturizer With SPF 30 (£35.99).

Like the serum, this clinically proven, transparent, water-gel harnesses the superior power of hyaluronic acid to give your dry, dehydrated skin a much-needed boost.

 

 

Silky and lightweight yet deceptively nourishing, this beautiful cream boats 1.5% pure hyaluronic acid and possesses a delightful soft scent, instantly perking up your skin.

What’s more, this daily hydrator contains SPF 30 which offers UVA/B protection without the associated stickiness or whiteness that can occur through using traditional suncream.

This dual pronged approach not only helps to improve the appearance of your skin in its current form but also protects against further ageing or skin damage caused by the sun’s harmful rays.

 

 

In clinical trials, it was reported that in just 1 week, 97% of participants had visibly reduced lines and after 8 weeks 100% continued to show a significant reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.

Complete your routine with the Multi Correxion Hydrate & Plump Eye Cream (£24.99).

As is the case with all the skin on your face, over time your natural Hyaluronic Acid levels decline, making the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles more pronounced.

 

 

The same can be said for the delicate, thin skin around the eye area which can result in wrinkled, tired looking eyes.

This cute little eye cream has been specially formulated to target this delicate area which is prone to losing volume first to visibly lift, smooth and reawaken tired-looking eyes by delivering three age-defying results.

As you may have guessed by this point, 1.5% Hyaluronic acid is a key element here, instantly re-plumping lines and wrinkles.

 

 

Peptides, with their firming properties get to work to visibly firm and contour the skin while caffeine helps to de-puff, awakening the skin and reducing the appearance of eye bags.

Thicker and richer in texture than the moisturiser, this gel-cream is quickly absorbed as your skin drinks in the goodness, instantly improving the appearance of eye bags and puffiness.

The skin is left feeling wonderfully soft and smooth throughout the day and I’ve personally found it has helped to stop my makeup from settling in my crows feet.

 

 

In clinical trails, within 1 week, 100% pf participants had visibly reduced crow’s feet and in 4 weeks, 85% saw a visible reduction in under-eye puffiness.

Those are pretty decent stats right there.

All three of RoC Skincare’s Multi Correxion Hydrate & Plump products are available now and can be found here.

Dr Barbara Sturm Glow Drops

 

Get your glow on this summer with Dr Barbara Sturm’s gorgeous Glow Drops.

 Dr Barbara Sturm just so happens to be Kim Kardashian’s facialist and regardless of whatever you think about KK, she sure does have beautiful skin.

 It’s not that often that I see a celeb using a brand and think ‘omg I MUST own this product’, however as I wasn’t familiar with Dr Barbara Sturm I wanted to check it out.

 For those like me not so much in the know, Dr. Barbara Sturm’s unique, science-based products have achieved cult status with skincare devotees worldwide and her philosophy of healing the skin has challenged both aggressive approaches and the conventional wisdom.

At Dr. Barbara Sturm, our ethos represents the credibility of innovation without the use of toxic, harmful or aggressive ingredients in our products. We use advanced science ingredients that are healthy, healing and safe, nurturing rather than attacking living skin.

 Dr. Barbara Sturm products contain innovative, high concentration active ingredients adhering to Germany’s rigorous skincare ingredient laws. Our philosophy of skin healing also means we do not use substances and ingredients that are both unnecessary for the skin and may promote inflammation, including artificial fragrance, colour, micro plastics and aggressive preservatives.

 

Dr Sturm launched her first skincare collection in 2014 and while her skincare regimens are simple, the products are anything but.

 My introduction to this exquisite brand comes in the form of their Glow Drops.

 This luxurious, gentle serum effortlessly creates a fresh, soft, natural glow instantly.

Designed to revitalise tired, dull looking skin, the formula boasts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits to nourish, protect and perfect your complexion.

 Suitable for all skin tones and types including sensitive, Dr Sturm’s Glow Drops have been designed to give your skin a summer glow all year round; transforming dull skin and delivering a dose of intense hydration from winter to summer.

 Presented in a chic, fuss free, sleek transparent glass bottle with white dropper lid, you can see the soft, iridescent pink hues of the serum within.

 The formula is impressive to say the least.

 Firstly, the serum contains Dr Sturm’s formulation of both low and high weighted Hyaluronic Acid molecules which binds moisture and replenishes internal molecular levels, providing long lasting hydration and a visible plumping effect within the skin.

 Purslane, which contains high Vitamin levels and Omega 3 Fatty Acids, works to reduce visible signs of irritation while Wild Rose Extract helps to refine pores and create a more even appearance.

 Meanwhile, Polygonum Bistorta Root (a potent anti-aging ingredient) optimizes skin tone plus the addition of light reflecting pigments provide an instantaneous healthy looking glow.

 

 Silky, lightweight and opulent in texture, you can actually use the drops in a variety of different ways depending on the look you’re after.

 The first way is as a regular serum. Apply to freshly cleansed skin prior to your moisturiser and enjoy the added boost of hydration while it evens out your skin tone and breathes life back into your lacklustre complexion.

 You could, alternatively, mix it with your face cream as opposed to using it alone or even apply it over makeup as a highlighter on your cheeks and brow bones for a lit-from-within effect.

 After applying a full pipette onto my fingers and gently massaging over my face, my skin feels quenched and soft, comfortable and brighter.

 I’ve actually found myself using it as a primer as frequently as I do a serum thanks to its great ability to perfect and revitalise my skin, particularly of a morning when I’ve definitely not had enough sleep.

 I do feel that the Glow Drops have got my back when my skin needs a little extra TLC and there’s something very comforting in knowing that the formula is clean and free from nasty chemicals and un-necessary ingredients such as synthetic fragrances etc.

 Hey, if Dr Sturm is good enough for Kim Kardashian than its good enough for me!

 You can check out Dr Barbara Sturm’s Glow Drops which retail from £40 for 10ml or £100 for 30ml (which is a tenner cheaper than other online retailers) over at SkinStation along with the rest of her elegant skincare line now.
