REN Face Favourites Gift Set

Looking to start the new year with a complexion that glows with radiance then you need to get this set on your Christmas wish list.

The Face Favourites Gift set from REN features a trio of their bestselling skincare products housed within the cutest, vibrant sea-inspired gift box.

Why a sea print though, that’s not very festive you may think.

Well, this festive season REN are spreading a little clean skincare. Designed in collaboration with Silken Favours, their gift sets feature a host of sea inspired illustrations to represent their partnership with Plastic Patrol, a charity that helps to remove plastic from our oceans.

£1 for each set will be donated to this worthy cause and each gift set is housed within 100% recyclable boxes, printed with vegetable inks.

I just cant get enough of brands like REN who are giving back this Christmas to such important, life changing causes. 

Nice one REN.

 

Their Face Favourites Gift Set features a trio of skincare products with their bestselling facial formulas for glowing, hydrated and youthful looking skin.

Inside you’ll find a full sized Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream, a travel-size Glycol Lactic Mask and a Keep Young and Beautiful Instant Firming Beauty Shot.

Formulated for sensitive skin, the comforting day cream has been formulated to help combat skin discomfort that can lead to premature ageing.

Enriched with Omega 3 to help nourish and soothe, Omega 7 to soften the skin and Camellia oil to replenish the skin, the gentle, lightweight formula instantly nourishes your skin without creating any irritation.

Skin feels soft, comfortable and hydrated without being clogged or weighed down.

This works wonderfully on my oily/combination skin that is prone to sensitivity flare ups!

Next, supercharge your anti-ageing regime with the Keep Young and Beautiful Instant Firming Beauty Shot.

This anti-ageing, silky gel-serum instantly firms your skin, providing a lifting effect.

Suitable for all skin types, the gel features a blend of hyaluronans I and II to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while Red Algae Extract binds with the hyaluronan complex to enhance the lifting effect.

Designed to be used before your moisturiser, massage a small amount of the light-weight gel-serum into your skin after cleansing.

The results are skin that feels instantly firmed, hydrated, toned and plump.

Last but by no means least is the Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask.

This brightening, exfoliating mask contains one of my skincare hero ingredients; Glycolic Acid.

Glycolic acid from pineapple extract helps to gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells for a more radiant, healthy looking complexion.

Lactic Acid and passionfruit works to smooth and refine the skins texture while papain from papaya helps to rejuvenate the overall appearance and texture of your skin.

Apply a generous amount of this potent mask to dry, cleansed skin and leave for 10 minutes.

A little tingling sensation is normal however its worth noting that as with all AHA products this mask may make your skin more sun-sensitive (not that that’s a huge issue during British Wintertime!) so make sure you’re wearing an appropriate SPF.

Rinse with lukewarm water or with a face cloth and reveal brighter, fresher looking skin.

This collection is a brilliant combination of hard working skincare products that will leave your skin glowing way into 2020!

REN’s Face Favourites Gift Set is available now and costs £35.

REN Evercalm Overnight Recovery Balm

The Evercalm rage by REN is a collection of products created specifically for sensitive and sensitised skin and comprises of a selection of products to help calm and soothe irritated skin.

I’ve suffered with sensitive skin for as long as I can remember, partly due to a variety of elements that I’ve recently discovered that I’m allergic to and this can make finding skincare products that my skin agrees with a nightmare.

 I’ve always loved REN’s Evercalm range of products as they have never caused my skin to react adversely so I was very excited when I saw that they had launched a new product in that line.

The new Evercalm Overnight Recovery Balm (£40) is a decadent night time treatment which targets sensitivity, dryness and inflammation, while boosting and safeguarding your skin’s natural regeneration.

This unique, rich balm-to-oil feeds your skin with oils of Olive, Almond, Borage and Linseed which have been activated with digestive enzymes to allow them to be more easily absorbed into your skin.

Beta-Glucans (a key ingredient within the award-winning Evercalm range) offer their anti-inflammatory properties to soothe and ease irritation while Jojoba and Sunflower Oil complex intensely moisturise and help to protect your skin.

Its sounds impressive because it is!

The balm itself possesses no fragrance at all and is a wonderful texture!

The jelly-esq balm melts almost instantly upon touch, transforming into a feather-light oil which when applied to dry skin is absorbed incredibly quickly leaving behind no residue.

I was very surprised to find that my skin felt neither oily nor greasy after application, in fact there was no evidence that I’d applied an oil to my face at all other than the wonderfully soft and nourished way it felt.

Dry, irritated patches of skin instantly felt calmer and soothed and my entire face felt smooth, hydrated and pampered- and that was only with a tiny amount of product.

I love how moisturised my skin felt without feeling clogged or heavy and how refreshed and healthy it looked in the morning.

The new REN Evercalm Overnight Recovery Balm gets a big thumbs up from me and lucky for you its available now.
