“I’m so excited to share with you my Skincare Edit with Look Fantastic. 5 incredible products which are the ultimate building blocks of a healthy skincare routine. Each one has been hand picked by me and is tailored to what our skin needs to be healthy, hydrated and protected.”- Alex Steinherr

Priced at £86.50 this impressive kit contains products worth £126.

But what is inside? Let’s a take a look.

First up is the CeraVe Hydrating Cream-To-Foam Cleanser.

 

 This rich yet gentle foaming cleanser has been formulated with ceramides, amino acids and hyaluronic acid to help remove impurities and makeup without stripping the skin.

Suitable for dry skin, hyaluronic acid helps your skin to retain moisture leaving it feeling wonderfully cleansed and comfortable.

Next is the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Crème.

This universal moisturiser has been developed especially with sensitive skin in mind.

 

 Suitable for all skin types, it helps to soothe, calm redness and relieve irritation.

Silky and lightweight, it wont clog your pores and can be used at any time of the day.

SkinCeuticals Ultra Facial Defense SPF 50 is a fab inclusion as many of us forget that its important to wear SPF all year round- yep, even in winter.

Beautifully lightweight and silky, you’d never guess that it holds such high protection.

 

 

Formulated with glycerine to hydrate, it protects your skin with state of the art filters to prevent hyperpigmentation and collagen breakdown caused by sun exposure.

The Decleor Neroli Bigarade Hydrating Oil Mask is simply divine.

This silky cream mask transforms into a lightweight oil when applied to your skin.

 

 

Hyaluronic acid and neroli work hard to deeply hydrate and soothe your skin while you sit back and relax to enjoy the calming aromas.

Finally there’s the iconic Vichy Mineral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

Famous for its superior hydrating qualities, this feather-light gel-serum contains an 89% concentration of Vichy Thermal Mineralising Water and hyaluronic acid to quench dry, dull skin.

 

 

It softens and pampers, strengthening your skins barrier for up to 24 hours, leaving you with plump, firm, beautiful skin.

It’s an impressive line up of hero skincare gems and if using these products will help me to achieve skin that glows like Alex’s, I’m more than prepared to give it a shot!

Decleor Green Mandarin Sun-Kissed Cream

The summer may have gone but that doesn’t mean that your sun kissed glow has to disappear behind the clouds of autumn too.

If like me you’re not a big fan of fake tans (Translation: I’m completely useless at applying and successfully maintaining a fake tan) then you may feel that your chance to glow with a healthy radiance has past once the sun waves a fond farewell, but this doesn’t have to be so.

Decleor have created a daily moisturiser which not only helps to prevent fine lines and winkles but actually offers an immediate skin kissed glow.

It is not a fake tan. It is not a daily tanning product. In fact, it is not a tanning product of any kind, it is a skincare product that is enriched with a host of anti-ageing properties, but it also offers a healthy vitamin glow with absolutely zero make up feel.

Another thing that may surprise you about this product is that it is suitable for absolutely all skin types and tones. It is universal in its appeal and use.

This magical product is Decleor’s Green Mandarin Sun-Kissed Cream (£58).

Enriched with a blend of Citrus Essential Oils, natural Hyaluronic Acid and Beta-Carotene this rich, decadent cream helps to instantly re-energise tired looking skin while working to prevent the signs of ageing.

As you may expect from a product containing Green Mandarin, Grapefruit, Lemon and Sweet Orange Essential Oil, the deep orange coloured cream itself possesses a delicate and refreshing citrus scent.

Now don’t be alarmed by the highly pigmented shade of the cream. I’m super pale and I can confirm that once applied and massaged into your skin it transforms into a sheer finish, imparting just the softest glow.

Instantly your complexion is lifted with a subtle radiance, creating the illusion of well rested, healthy and vibrant skin.

 

While the cream helps to create this illusion it is also hard at work toning, softening and nourishing your skin to ensure that it is prevented from further ageing by shielding it against environmental stressors.

The cream itself works well on my combination skin, offering superior hydration without weighing my skin down and it is absorbed really quickly too, leaving behind no tell- tale sheen.

I’m not the only one who is really impressed by this product as in clinical trials 88% of people tested agreed that their skin looked softer, 82% agreed that their skin tone appeared more radiant and 84% agreed that the product gave them a healthy glow.

I loathe fake tans but I love the concept of combining an instant (yet subtle) glow with high quality skincare and Decleor have got it spot on with this one.

Decleor’s Green Mandarin Sun-Kissed Cream is available now and costs £58.

Step out of the bath or shower and indulge in the brilliantly massive Iconic Supersize Prolagene Energising Gel.

This cool, soothing gel has a visibly firming effect on your skin. Acting on the whole of the skin's structure it helps speed up cell renewal to improve the look of stretch marks and scarring in addition to loose skin.

Meanwhile, wheat germ oil helps to reduce skin lipid deterioration while providing an anti-free radical effect and Borage helps reduce water loss from the skin.

To experience the full benefits of the balm take a tiny amount and rub it between the palms of your hands. Take a few deep breaths with your eyes closed and enjoy the beautiful aroma soothe your mind.

Slowly rub your hands on your face and neck, allowing the balm to fully sink in to your skin, avoiding the eye area.

It is simply sublime!
