24K BIO-GOLD CAPSULE COLLECTION FROM BIO- ESSENCE

The one thing I really enjoy about being a beauty blogger is getting the opportunity to try some brands and products that I might never have come across. This is exactly what has happened with Bio-Essence. Bio-Essence is exclusive to Superdrug and having had a few products from the range for a good few weeks, I feel that I am ready to share them with you.

The entire collection is infused with gold, flakes of 24K gold, and when absorbed by the skin, it releases active gold ions which are rich in trace minerals. This goes on to promote blood and oxygen circulation which improves skin’s metabolism, This also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin present in skin, which in turn, increases the skin’s collagen fibres, keeping skin firm and youthful. It also has a high antioxidant power and the entire range works to protect the skin from those harmful free radicals and helps to defy signs of ageing such as dry and dull skin, wrinkles and fine lines!

There are 4 steps to follow with this range and they are 1. Cleanse 2. Gold Water 3. Moisturise 4. Miracle Finisher. I have steps 2 and 4 which I have been using and I expected to really dislike both products but actually found them both incredible to use for very different reasons and here is why.

24K Bio-Gold Gold Water (£16.99): Infused with unique Japanese rose extract called Eijitsu, it helps to quench skin with much-needed hydration and refine pores so that skin feels petal-soft and hydrated. It also claims to improves the skin's elasticity to prevent sagging, regulates moisture and sebum balance, restores a naturally glowing complexion and plumps up the skin to defy wrinkles and fine lines.

As you can see through the bottle, floating within the water are some small gold flakes, quite mesmerising to watch them move around as you swirl the bottle from side to side. Far from being heavy on the skin, it is a really lightweight texture and to use, you firstly need to ensure your skin has been freshly cleansed and then, if like me, you are now well acquainted with using as Essence as part of your routine, this forms that part of your process. So you can either use your hands to apply or something else of your choice like a cotton wool pad, my preference is to pour a few drops into the palm of my hand and then  simply pat it onto the skin and allow it to absorb, which it does incredibly quickly. Once it has absorbed, you are left with just incredibly hydrated feeling skin.

Then we have the 24K Bio- Gold Miracle Finisher (£29.99): Given its name, it is the final step to follow from the 4 step routine and it is enriched with 24K Bio-Gold, Bio Mineral Amino Acid and Bio Energy Fluid and it essentially helps to seal in nutrients, protect against harmful pollutants such as free radicals and leave your skin with a smooth, matte canvas.

So protecting the skin from within and from the outside, you are also being given a perfect base for the application of makeup, something we all desire to achieve. Again, I use my fingers to apply this to my face and you only really need a small amount and light pat onto the skin. What I like about this product is again the lightweight texture on the skin, it isn't heavy, tacky or sticky and better than that for me is that because I have combination/oily skin it helps to ensure I am not overly shiny before my day has even started. 

Overall I like what I have tried from the Bio Essence Range and I especially like the Gold Water. I am a convert to using an Essence within my skincare routine and I have really enjoyed using this, I was drawn to the idea of the gold particles and I can see that it does hydrate my skin incredibly well.
