FaceFacts The Routine

Finding a skincare routine that works for you is part of the fun, well for me anyway. I have been lucky enough to a range of prices right across the spectrum and over the last month or so I have been using a brand called FaceFacts, a new collection of products and a brand you might remember from their Ceramide range I previously shared.
FaceFacts The Routine
New and accessible, the FaceFacts regime is fruit-powered and designed to help the skin look radiant in four simple steps with just four products - Gel Cleanser, Radiance Serum, Eye Cream and a Hydra Gel Cream.

Starting with the Superfood Gel Cleanser which is gentle enough to be used twice a day and is priced at just £2.99/100ml.
FaceFacts The Routine
Vegan Friendly, this Gel Cleanser uses ultra-soothing Oat Peptides together with antioxidant-rich Blueberry, Melon and Soybean Extracts make this formula the perfect cleansing smoothie for your face.

On the skin, this cleanser, with its gel formula slowly turns to gentle foam to helps cleanse the skin and remove everything from make up and skincare to sweat and any other impurities, without stripping the skin.  I was surprised at how good this cleanser was and used it as part of my morning routine with no adverse reactions.

Stage two is this routine is the Superberry Radiance Serum and it is to be used on freshly cleansed skin. To use, the advice is to simply 1-2 drops of the serum into your hands before pressing gently in to your face and neck.
FaceFacts The Routine
This water-based formula is designed to be used twice daily to help you to achieve a super glowy, luminous complexion. Again, it is Vegan Friendly and uses ingredients such as Raspberry, Blueberry, Cranberry and Acai Berry to help provide essential vitamins and antioxidants to feed dull, dry and tired skin.

What I like about this serum is how lightweight the texture is on the skin, so light it feels more like water than a serum, in fact, if I didn't know it was a serum I would be convinced it was an essence, but it does leave my skin with a bit of a glow and it is perfect for dehydrated skin which needs a bit of tlc.

The third step within this routine is focusing on the eyes and that is with the Peptide Firming Eye Gel which is designed to hydrate, smooth lines and reduce under-eye puffiness.
FaceFacts The Routine
The lightweight texture of this gel cream is perfect for being used twice daily, it uses firming Peptides, Apple, Plum, Vitamin C and Vitamin E which all come together to work to gently boost hydration whilst at the same time firming and reducing the appearance of under-eye puffiness.

As the skin under the eyes is much thinner than the rest of your face, I am really picky about what creams I will and won't use on or near my eyes. This is the perfect texture which absorbs quickly without irritation and it is also really soothing.

The final step within this 4-step routine is the Hyaluronic Hydra Gel Cream and its job is to moisturise and soothe.
FaceFacts The Routine
Moisturising and keeping your skin moisturised helps to protect your skin barrier and lock in all the goodness from your serum, so this ultra-lightweight, gel cream helps nourish and hydrate thirsty skin whilst at the same time helping to boost your natural radiance.

This cream can be used both morning and evening as part of your routine and it uses Antioxidant-rich Blackberry, Oat, Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E extracts which not only help to soothe skin but to also lock in moisture, and like all of the other products within this routine, it is also Vegan Friendly.

This entire routine costs less than £10.50 and the products can be found in B&M as well as from Face Facts themselves.

Sweet Gifts for Fathers Day

As Father's Day is just a few weeks away, aside from beauty and grooming gifts, I have something, well two ideas that are perfect for the Dad who has a sweet tooth, so if you like a traditional looking hamper or something with the wow factor, I have both.
Sweet Gifts for Fathers Day
A sweet bouquet takes on that traditional gift for someone with a sweet tooth and adds a whole new dimension to wow and one company who offers that wow is The Sweet Bouquet.

Each beautiful bouquet is crafted by hand here in the UK by a team of experts and when your bouquet arrives, you can see just how much hard work has gone into the creation and the packaging to ensure it opens up in one piece. The Sweet Bouquet offers a wide range of different styles of bouquet with each one featuring a mix of some of the most popular chocolate bars and sweet brands.  I have the huge Skittles Bouquet which is perfect for my pops because he isn't a fan of chocolate, but does love his sweets.
Sweet Gifts for Fathers Day
Described as being a bouquet which is bursting with Skittles, it features a whole mixture of Chewy Crazy Sour Sweets, Skittles Chewy Sweets, Skittles Chewy Tropical Sweets, and Skittles Chewy Wild Berry Sweets - I had no idea there was so many varieties, but now I do and here with 24 packets of sweets to work through, he will be busy for some time!  Priced at £36.95 it is a lot of fun and makes a great gift.

If you prefer something more traditional, then the Sweet Hamper Company is one to look at.  Described as being the one stop shop for all goodies, treats and candies, they offer an array of sweet hampers, boxes, cones, bouquets as well as everything from pick ‘n’ mix to retro sweets, traditional sweets and American classics.
Sweet Gifts for Fathers Day
If you fancy building your own sweet hamper, then you have that option, but I was kindly sent the Huge Sweet & Chocolate Bar and my husband has held it hostage since it arrived. Featuring a mixture of everything from chocolate and candy to a few classics.

Inside the box, everything is so neatly packaged you have no idea what you might find hiding beneath the bags of labelled sweets, which for me, are definitely the star of the show, nothing like a few retro bits of pick 'n' mix offerings to make your day.
