Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream

The newest launch from Antipodes, a brand whom I have featured a lot of over the past few years, is their sleep-in night cream, Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream.
As a brand, Antipodes have some amazing products, such as Aura Manuka Honey Mask which, if you haven’t tried, then you most definitely should. They’re up there with some of my absolute favourite products I’ve ever tried.

The Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream is formulated with certified vegan ingredients from New Zealand nature and the power of probiotics and is said to deliver a lifeline to any skin type by boosting moisture levels and strengthening the skin’s barrier thus optimising skin recovery overnight.

On the skin, this cream is really lightweight, almost cloud like and with its lilac hue it absorbs quickly into the skin and it’s an absolute dream to use. 
Using the power of Kalibiome AGE Probiotic, which is described as being a high-performing, non-live ‘good’ bacteria and in clinical trials, this Probiotic was found to not only reduce the effects of photo-ageing in the skin, reduce wrinkle depth and redness but it also enhanced elasticity and increased hydration by stimulating the production of hyaluronic acid in skin cells. There is also the inclusion of plant-based Hyaluronic Acid and native New Zealand Mamaku Black Fern which work to deliver a lifeline to stressed skin’s depleted moisture levels for plump, bouncy and dewy skin.

For me, I was intrigued to see how it dealt with some redness, brought about by using a facemask which featured clay and still my skin hates it, so it was red and quite angry. Applying this cream, there was an instantly soothing feeling, the kind you get when you apply a cold towel to your skin after a day in the sun. As it is a night cream, I slathered it onto my skin and the following morning, the redness was still present, but much less angry and easy to cover with a tinted moisturiser - one day I will learn not to use a facemask which has clay as a main ingredient! 

There is nothing I dislike about the Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream. For me, it does pretty much everything it claims to do, it feels delightful on the skin, it is soothing, it is lightweight, it isn’t sticky or tacky and it is on sale with Lookfantastic* and Antipodes* and it is priced at £45 for 60ml.

This box is described as being a very special, limited edition collection - with everything you need for your perfect LED skincare regime. I am intrigued by LED skincare, i've seen a few brands offer many different options and I haven't yet taken the leap. I love the idea of relaxing with an LED Mask* having read all the benefits of using one, for example Red Light stimulates the production of new collagen, calms redness and creates an even skin tone. Then Near Infra-Red works beneath the skin's surface. Penetrating deep in to the skin's surface it boosts circulation, improves blood flow and boosts oxygen to the skin's cells.  Everyone I know who has one of these masks, raves about it!

Inside the CurrentBody Skin x Wayne Goss Beauty Box you will find eight products which Wayne himself revealed on both his and the Current Body Instagram accounts, so as the blurb states, inside is everything you need for your perfect LED skincare regime!

  • 1 x CurrentBody Skin Hydrogel Face Mask
As you can see, it really is quite a box!  The contents are worth more than £430 in total but it will be on sale for around £300 here, so a substantial saving if you really are wanting to get to try some LED skincare and know that is Wayne states the products are amazing, then they absolutely will be! 

To get your hands on this box, everything you need can be found right here*.

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.
Ultrasun launches UV Face & Scalp Mist SPF50
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
