New Levels of Nourishment from Sakare

As a bestseller in the luxury brand's range of products I had high hopes for the Intensive Nourishment Mask. I have been raving about their products recently and I have to say I have been continually impressed. The mud mask was yet another success story for me.

Yes it feels great, smells great and makes my skin soft and rejuvenated....but what are the highly effective ingredients that Sakare are known for and what do they actually do?

Indonesian Nyamplung Oil: amazing anti-ageing properties. Enhances the suppleness of the skin

Omega-6 Borage Oil: works as an anti inflammatory. Smoothes out skin tone and enhances radiance

Skin-activating sea minerals: deeply nourishes the skin and helps to calm environmentally stressed skin

(yes I did my research)

One of the best Mud Masks out there on the market right now. Results are visible almost immediately. A great investment that will become a staple in your skin care routine.

I like to use it once a week when I feel like treating myself to a relaxing bath and a glass of wine. It refreshes your skin and complexion but is also a great recharge for the brain after a stressful week.

Stuck for a Christmas present this year? Buy them this mud mask!! Suitable for all ages and skin types, a truly enjoyable experience that they will not be disappointed by. Play it safe and make sure you get them something they will love this year!

Merry Christmas & happy shopping!!

The Secret to Super Soft Skin (without moisturising)

Ladies I'm sure you will all sympathise with me...the high standards of presentation that are expected of us on a daily basis. It's not really realistic is it? We have busy lives...careers and kids and family, sometimes other priorities overtake. Don't get me wrong...I'm not a slob and do not think that we should just go about our lives in pyjamas all the time. Although on more than one occasion I have been asked to defend myself over "flaky skin" on my elbows and "blotchy red patches" on my face. I have been suffering with dry and extremely sensitive skin for the most part of my life and have become hypersensitive over it. People pointing it out and telling me "you should get that looked at by a doctor" (have done, no success) hasn't helped my self-confidence at all.

I went through a stage of spending loads of money on all the latest treatments and fads but to no avail. One day I decided to stop spending hours at night and in the morning lathering myself with lotion, or searching for some other cure on the internet. I decided that people would have to accept me for who I was and constantly reminded myself that I have a lot more to offer than just looks. While I truly believed this it still got me down.

After being recommended by a friend to try out the Sakare Deep Cleansing Salt Scrub (Check out my post about it) for my dry skin, I was hooked to their products! I haven't experienced any irritations or blotchiness and my skin is no longer flaky. On my latest visit to Sakare I was looking for something that delivers the effectiveness and sense of luxury that the brand is renowned for, but that also cuts down and simplifies my beauty routine. I was recommended the Soothing Shower Oil, a formula that revitalises and rehydrates skin perfectly due to it's richness in vitamin E.

For me it has been a wonder product!

• Slathering this oil on in the showers gently cleanses 
• It packs in so much hydration that you won't need to use any other moisturiser afterwards
• A good base for shaving so there is no need for any creams or gels
• Unrivalled sense of luxury with this high quality product 
• It cuts my daily routine down giving me more time for me!

Don't succumb to the pressure...just because you are a woman doesn't mean that you have to spend all your time and money on looking tip top. It can be achieved easily by investing in quality, effective products like these from the range at Sakare.

Sakare Cleanser Best for Sensitive Skin

Having sensitive skin can often be a curse. You are sometimes left with red blotches all over your face minutes before you leave for a hot date, and attempts to cover it up with make-up simply fail. My whole life I have been searching for something that is strong enough to properly cleanse my skin, whilst also being gentle enough not to provoke any sort of reaction. I am happy to let all of you sensitive skin sufferers know that there is such a product out there....Sakare Calming Milk Cleanser!

This unique cleanser has a gentle but effective combination of rose water extract, chamomile and vitamin E to soothe your skin to cleanliness, and not just on the surface. This cleanser really gets deep into your pores, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and beautifully clean. I didn't experience any redness, patchy-ness, or soreness after using, which is very rare for me. I would recommend to follow with the rest of the Sakare skin care range (toner & moisturiser) but if you invest in just one of these products it has to be the cleanser.

This cleanser isn't just effective for people who suffer from sensitive skin....it's great for removing make-up easily, and protects the skin from damaging free radicals. When you use this product you don't feel as if you are putting added chemicals and fragrances into your skin, it feels natural and soothing. It has great anti-ageing properties as well (not something I'm really concerned about but definitely a bonus for the price). High quality ingredients really produce high quality results and the Sakare range is great example of just that!

Sakare Deep Cleansing Salt Scrub

I bought the Sakare Deep Cleansing Salt Scrub last week and I am certainly not disappointed. I went for the Ocean fragrance but you can also choose passion or patchouli. Deciding in the shop was very difficult as they all smelled really nice. So far I have only used it once but I have noticed immediate effects. My skin is a lot softer and smoother, as you would expect, but it also has a regenerated glow. Any spots or dry patches I had cleared up and my skin feels soft and hydrated without even using moisturiser! 

High-range Sakare Salt Scrub does wonders for your skin

Ladies this product is great for getting rid of those unsightly ingrown hairs! Use once a week for optimal results (not more as this could be harsh on your skin). Another tip which the sales assistant told me in the Sakare store (on Bond street) was that you can also use the oil from the scrub as a bath oil. Such a great tip as the oil smells beautiful and is just perfect for a relaxing bath after a long day. Another thing I love about this product is that a very small amount goes a very long way. I'm sure this product will last me more than a year. If you think about cost per use it's really not much to pay for such high-end quality and luxury.

Many scrubs can be harsh on the skin, creating adverse effects, although this scrub is the perfect mixture of exfoliating and moisturising. When the seasons change I always get extremely dry skin on my hands and feet. The Sakare deep cleansing salt scrub was even delicate enough to use on my fragile hands and feet, gently removing the dry skin and locking in moisture. 

I would highly recommend this product to anyone. High quality, great results, amazing value...Sakare scores highly on every level.
