ELEMIS PRO-COLLAGEN NEROLI CLEANSING BALM

You may have heard of Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm before, an award winning, iconic cleansing balm that removes pollutants, dirt and daily grime? Well, Elemis have recently released a ‘sister’ version! A brand new, limited edition Pro-Collagen Neroli Cleansing Balm which comes with the scent of Neroli, and has been decorated in a soft, peachy colour with delicate florals printed on!

PRO-COLLAGEN NEROLI CLEANSING BALM

I applied the Neroli Cleansing Balm by warming this in the palms of my hands and then applied straight onto dry skin by using a small amount. Initially, I used quite a big amount but realised that this didn’t work as effectively and found that a small size worked better.

The balm had a soft texture and when applied onto my skin, the balm practically melted! It was incredibly soft and I loved how it glided over my skin easily.

The Neroli scent at first was quite strong but when rinsed off, it left a delicate scent on my skin that smelt rather fresh throughout the day! Once rinsed off, the Neroli Cleansing Balm left my skin feeling smooth, moisturised and left me with a radiant glow.

The overall use of the Pro-Collagen Neroli Cleansing Balm was simple, effective and is one of my favourite ways to cleanse my skin!

ELEMIS: DAILY DEFENCE SHIELD SPF 30

Despite now officially being Autumn here in England and with a slight drop in the temperature, the Sun doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon!

With that being said, it is still important to protect your skin from the Sun’s harmful UV rays and over the past month or so I have been trialling out the Daily Defence Shield SPF 30 by Elemis.

ELEMIS - DAILY DEFENCE SHIELD SPF 30

20180927_163932066_iOS.jpg

  • Contains Enviro-Age Complex, Coconut and Jojoba

My skin is rather fair so I tend to use high SPF suncreams as I burn rather easily, so I liked that the Daily Defence Shield had a high factor.

Prior to applying the Daily Defence Shield, I used the Pro Collagen Marine Cream (which I have previously reviewed which can be read here) as my daily moisturiser and then applied the Daily Defence Shield on top.

I applied a small amount across my face and I found the texture of the suncream to be very lightweight and easy to apply with its applicator. That being said, if I was abroad or somewhere where I was constantly in the Sun, then I would apply and layer the suncream throughout the day accordingly!

One of the things I also enjoyed about using the Daily Defence Shield was that it didn’t have that greasy feel to it! It absorbed easily into my skin leaving it to feel hydrated.

ELEMIS PRO-COLLAGEN MARINE CREAM FOR MEN

A couple of months ago I received a bundle of goodies from Elemis, and from the selection that I've been trialling (I'll be sharing more of these soon!) I have to say that the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream For Men is without a doubt one of my new favourite skincare products!

20171012_185342223_iOS.jpg

I applied the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream first thing in the morning as I felt that I only needed to apply this once daily and before the cream had begun to take effect, I was already in love with the scent. It smelt incredibly clean and had a good lasting power as well which I found impressive for a skincare product!

As the day went on, my skin looked hydrated and the cream absorbed into my skin very easily. The texture of the Marine Cream was very light but please note, you only need a small amount of this for application as it still goes a long way! 

My skin felt smoother and had an overall dewy glow to it, having said that, however, I noticed that my skin had a slight 'shine' effect to it from the cream which admittedly at first I didn't particularly like but as I got used to the cream, all of the other benefits easily outweighed this minor problem for me!

I'm not surprised that the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream For Men is the winner of this year's Best New Anti-Ageing Cream For Men in the GQ Grooming Awards...
