Ultrasun UV Face & Scalp Mist SPF50

Leading Swiss Professional Sun Care brand Ultrasun has launched a brand new product to its collection, meet the UV Face & Scalp Mist SPF50. Ultrasun is a brand I am fairly new too and  I attended a Zoom masterclass featuring this launch back in March and I have been using it ever since.  I am sure like me, you will love it.

I am the first to admit that whilst I wear an SPF every single day, I am really picky about what products I will use and most of the time it comes down to how the formula feels on my skin, particularly my face, upon which I don't think thick gloopy sun cream that feels greasy and tacky when applied.  That said, the importance of wearing sun protection is right up there high on the list of an every day must wear product, even whilst I am working from home.

From Ultrasun we have a mist which delivers very high UVA and UVB protection in what is described as being an incredible lightweight, easy, non-greasy, quick-drying transparent mist.  This mist is gentle enough for the most sensitive of skin and it contains the antioxidant complex InfraGuard®. This powerful antioxidant complex which contains sunflower shoots known to inhibit light induced skin ageing also protect the skin from harmful UVA, UVB, blue light and infrared rays

This transparent, ultra-absorbent mist can be worn on top of, or beneath make-up and it is ideal for using as a top-up throughout the day to make sure that your skin is always protected.  But not just your skin, the selling point for me with this mist is that you can also use it to protect your scalp, part of the body, like the ears, that most people forget to protect.

As mentioned, the mist is ultra-light and when sprayed on the scalp, it doesn't make the hair greasy and there is no white residue left behind like you often find with a dry shampoo, when I use this on my scalp, particularly if my hair has a parting on show and then on my hairline. When using, I hold the can at arms length and then lightly spray and wait for a few seconds before I finish styling my hair. 

When using on the face, this for me is the last part of my routine and again, following the instructions on the can,  you are told to shake the can well before using and then holding it roughly 15cm from your face, spray in a horizontal fashion evenly, avoiding the eyes and mouth.

This Ultrasun UV Face & Scalp Mist SPF50 is the perfect size for slotting into your handbag and is easy to use on the go, so you can top up your sun care as and when you feel it is appropriate to do so.  It is also vegan, Halal and cruelty-free.

Ultrasun UV Face & Scalp Mist SPF50 (75ml) launched on May 1st and it is priced at £18. Available from qvcuk.com, Marks & Spencer*, BeautyBay*, and Ultrasun.com

Emma Hardie x Look Good Feel Better Moringa Cleansing Balm

Is ever there is a cleansing balm which needs no introduction, it has to be the Moringa Cleansing Balm from Emma Hardie.  My most used, repurchased and adored cleansing balm, which I have featured many times on my blog.

This special Limited Edition 200ml tub of the Moringa Cleansing Balm with donations from every sale of the limited edition Moringa Cleansing Balm going to Look Good Feel Better, their goal is to raise £100k for the charity during 2021. Look Good Feel Better is the only international cancer support charity providing practical support for women and teenagers struggling with the visible side effects of cancer treatment.

Described as being a 'Spa in a jar' this multi-award winning balm is a product you cannot help but absolutely love and if you are a fan of cleansing, as I am, then this is a must-have product.

This purifying botanical cleansing balm is one which has been designed to remove all traces of face and eye make-up as well as any other dirt and grime which is sitting on the skin's surface. As well as deeply cleansing your pores, this balm is also balancing, hydrating and moisturising, plus it is suitable for all skin types.

As you can imagine given the hype behind this Moringa Cleansing Balm, it is packed full of amazing ingredients, such as:

• Grape Seed Oil and Sweet Almond Oil - These two are rich in essential fatty acids help to plump and soften
• Moringa seed extract, Wild Sea Fennel and Vitamin E balance - together they help to purify and help to minimise the appearance of open pores
• Essential oils of Orange, Neroli and Mandarin - These oils work to rejuvenate and revitalise the skin whilst calming the senses
• Jasmine and Rose - Used for their properties which help to recondition dull, dry, dehydrated and mature skins

For me, this is the perfect way to remove the day from your face and it is a great first cleanser for my double cleanse. I always follow the advice which is to grab a hazelnut sized blob of this balm and then apply with my fingers, gently massaging it onto dry skin. The idea is to apply it whilst moving and massaging the skin in circular motions to loosen and shake free all that gunk, whilst at the same time, enjoying the most amazing scent that this balm has. Once you have complete your facial massage, I use my Emma Hardie Cleansing cloth which will have been soaking in warm water, squeeze out the excess water and wipe away what is left.

This Moringa Balm is more than just a cleansing balm. If you feel your skin needs some TLC, you can also use this balm as an overnight facial or it can be used to soothe the lips too!

Also within this limited edition box is the Dual Action Cleansing Cloth, one of my favourite cloths to use and it is perfect for use with the cleansing balm. One side of the cloth is a gentle microfibre material for deep cleansing and removal whereas the other side is a muslin cloth for polishing the skin.

This Limited Edition 200ml Moringa Cleansing Balm is on sale now
