CACI Beauty Skincare

With all the running around, stresses, strains and queuing to be done in the run up to Christmas, one of the best gifts you can give to yourself is some time out and self love. With Caci Beauty, I have a selection of amazing products to share, which give you time to sit down, grab your TV remote control, load up Netflix with a cheesy Christmas movie and relax. 

      

CACI is about achieving beautiful skin without surgery, no matter your age and for over 30 years they have been developing leading edge technology, synonymous with the ‘Non-Surgical Face Lift. As a brand, CACI is committed to providing skincare solutions that can slip easily into your daily skincare routine and make you look and feel the best version of yourself.

Starting with the Hydro Mask and it is designed to nourish, hydrate, smooth lines and wrinkles, and calm the skin.

One of the most soothing masks I have used, this Hydro Mask costs just £5 and is just delightful. It comes in two parts, one for the upper part of your face and one for the lower part of your face, so it is really easy to use and it fits really well to all contours of the face.

Instantly soothing and calming as soon as it has been applied to the skin, it is infused with a whole series of ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, collagen and rose water to pump the skin with moisture, so if you have dry skin, then this is a mask you really should try.

Having tried the face mask, next comes the Eye Revive Mask (£5) and again, this is a transparent silicon gel eye mask which has a soothing and calming action on tired eyes

This mask feels absolutely incredible when it is applied to the face and for anyone who suffers with tired, puffy eyes, then the soothing and calming action works wonders. 

This refreshing eye mask is packed full of amazing ingredients such as Hyaluronic acid and Cucumber extract which work to deeply nourish, cool and moisturise the skin, Green Tea extract which helps to detoxify the skin and reduce puffiness, plus Collagen to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The final product in this collection is CACI Rejuvenating Hand Mask (£7.50) and it is described as being a hydrating and nourishing pair of gloves which are perfect to use at home as part of your regular hand care routine.

With the increased hand washing we have all been doing since Covid, the cold weather and the use of heating, can all lead to dry and chapped hands, so these gloves are just the perfect tonic.

These hydrating and nourishing gloves contain powerful ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolysed Collagen and Shea Butter which work together to help combat the signs of ageing by softening the skin and smoothing the appearance of fine lines. After use, these Rejuvenating Hand Mask will leave your hands feeling soft, supple and re-hydrated, all for just 20 minutes of your time.

So there you have three inexpensive but amazingly good products from CACI Beauty which would make an incredible gift to yourself

The Art of Giving: How to Be the Best Gift Giver This Holiday Season

The holidays are a time for giving, and what could be more rewarding than making someone's day with a thoughtful gift? But for some people, the art of giving can be tricky. If you're not sure where to start, don't worry! This list of tips will help you become the best gift giver this holiday season. So read on, and get ready to spread some cheer!

1) Get to know the recipient

Knowing the recipient is key when it comes to giving a thoughtful gift. It's essential to try to understand the person you are buying for, their interests, and what would make the perfect present. Here are some steps to help you get to know the recipient better:

Utilizing different resources such as social media can be helpful in gathering information about the person’s likes and dislikes. Do they have any hobbies, for example do they play Tennis? What type of music do they enjoy listening to? What books do they read? Do they like a spa day?. These questions can be answered by doing some background research on your recipient

You can also talk with family and friends who are close to the recipient or who may know them well. Ask them questions like what kind of gifts have been meaningful to them in the past or what activities do they enjoy doing most? This can provide great insight into finding that special something for your recipient this holiday season

Another great way to get to know someone better is by simply spending time with them doing activities that interest both of you! For example, if your recipient loves reading then consider taking a trip together to a local bookstore or library where you both can browse through books and chat about different topics related to those books that catch both of your eyes! Or if they love vaping, then perhaps going out and getting them the Best Vape 2022 could be fun!

2) Choose the right gifts

Once you have a better understanding of your recipient and what they might like, it’s time to pick out the perfect gift. First off, think practically. Does your recipient need something for their home? A cozy blanket or throw pillow could be great options. Or is there something they've wanted for a while but haven't had a chance to purchase yet? If so, consider getting them that item as your holiday gift!

Choose something unique. Instead of buying something generic at the store, try to think outside of the box when picking out a gift. For example, maybe get them an experience such as tickets to a show or a tour of a city they've always wanted to visit. Or you can create something special for your recipient such as a scrapbook filled with photos, memories and quotes that are meaningful to them

Finally, make sure you put thought into the gift wrapping. This is an opportunity to show your recipient how much you care and to add a personal touch to the present. You can choose festive paper or ribbon that fits their style or write a special note on the tag attached!

3) Enjoy giving and receiving

The holiday season is all about giving and receiving, so don't forget to enjoy yourself in the process! After all, it's not just about getting someone else something perfect—it's also about taking pleasure in knowing that you have made someone's day with a thoughtful present. Plus, if you put your heart into it, chances are the recipient will be just as excited to give something back to you this holiday season!

4) Give gifts with meaning

Finally, don't forget to give gifts that have meaning and stay away from just giving something for the sake of giving it. Rather than buying a random item at the store, take some time to really consider what would be most meaningful for your recipient. It could be a physical present or even an experience like cooking dinner together or taking a walk in the park—whatever is special to both of you! When it comes to gifts, the meaning and thought behind it often means more than the gift itself, so be sure to really think your gift through.

So there you have it—a few tips on how to become the best gift giver this holiday season! Remember, when it comes to finding the perfect present for those around you during this festive period, it's all about knowing who they are and choosing something that will bring them joy and lasting memories.
