SkinFix Heathly Skin Face Range

Skinfix is perhaps a brand you might have seen in Boots, it is hard to miss with such bold packaging, the blue more than definitely catching you eye. Skinfix is described as being a brand which meets the need for today's ingredient conscious consumer, Skinfix Healthy Skin Face Range uses luxurious natural ingredients that are clinically proven to leave skin looking radiant, plump and healthy. 
SkinFix Heathly Skin Face Range
There are five products within this range which I have been getting to know and this is essentially an entire skincare regime with just five products. With everything from cleansing to moisturising, there is something here that could slot into your existing regime or if you don't have a skincare regime, there is one waiting for you try.

The first step with these products is The Foaming Oil Cleanser and it is my favourite of all the products. At 97% natural it is made with natural coconut based cleansers that gently wash away dirt and make up, without stripping the skin’s essential moisture. Red Seaweed Extract also helps moisturise the skin leaving it feeling soft and smooth to the touch rather than dry and dehydrated. 

I love how creamy the foam becomes when using and as this is a pump action bottle, I have found just one pump creates enough lather to cleanse your entire face. Designed to be used on damp skin, it is a great product for using as a first cleanse, if like me, you double cleanse. Priced at £14.99 you can find it here from Boots.

Next comes the Moisture Boost Serum and this is perfect for when your skin needs that little bit of extra love. Using extracts of Peony Root and Red Seaweed which work together to enhance radiance, reduce pigmentation, repair collagen and enhance the skin’s elasticity, it is especially good if you have dry skin. 

One pump is again all you need to cover the entirety of your face. Priced at £29.99 you can find the product here from Boots.

SkinFix Heathly Skin Face Range

The SkinFix Hydrating Lotion is the next step. I was surprised at how lightweight the formula for this is when I used it for the first time. With a formula which is clinically proven to increase skin’s moisture in just one use, leaving skin feeling soft, dewy and renewed. 

It uses a Healthy Lipid Complex which is designed to maintain glowing, plump, radiant skin, while powerful natural botanicals and Rice Protein peptides work to hydrate, soften and provide optimal benefits for healthy, happy skin. Priced at £19.99 you can find it here.

SkinFix Heathly Skin Face Range
The SkinFix Nourishing Cream follows and this time it is in a pot rather than a bottle. Still mimicking that pump action, you press the top of the pot to release the cream and again no more than two pumps will be needed. I have alternated the use of this cream with the lotion depending on how my skin was feeling each day. Some days I felt my skin needed a bit more moisture, so I used the cream over the lotion. 

The Nourishing Cream works to boost moisture, elasticity and as well as delivering essential nutrition to deeper levels of the skin, this then helps to smooth and improve the complexion, making skin feel softer, smoother and more radiant. Again, this is not a thick textured cream that takes a while to sink in, once massaged into the skin, it leaves no trace behind and can be used both morning and evening. Priced at £24.99 you can find it here.
SkinFix Heathly Skin Face Range
Then finally there is the Skinfix Brightening Eye Cream. With a lightweight formula which absorbs as soon as it comes into contact with your skin, it is designed to improve the health of the skin barrier and deliver intense nourishment to the delicate eye area. Using Alfalfa Seed Extract which helps to reduce puffiness and dark under eye shadows alongside the infusion of betacarotenes and essential vitamins to leave skin glowing, vibrant and smooth. It is rare I suffer from either dark circles or puffiness but what I did like about the cream is how it smoothed the skin under my eye. 

Every time I have my skin mapped, the one common occurrence is dehydration under the eye, so I am hoping next time there will have been some improvement! Priced at £19.99 you can find this eye cream right here.
SkinFix Heathly Skin Face Range
I love the absolute simplicity of this range. It is a skincare regime in just a few products which are natural, free from synthetic chemicals, parabens, hydrocortisone, steroids, and fragrances and everything they do and do not use is listed clearly on the website for you to see, along with reasons as to why it was or was not included. 

Priced competitively and available from Boots, it is a brand worth investigating and trying out.
