Indeed labs: Retinol Reface My thoughts

"Good skincare is a marathon not a race" this is the philosophy of Indeed Labs.

The only skin care I have tried from their range is their hydraluron jelly which I love and use regularly. My review can be found here: Indeed Labs Hydraluron Jelly moisturiser.

So I thought I would dip my toe even further into their range as boots had £5 off ... also I want to begin more of an anti-ageing routine. 

Hence...

Retinol Reface

What this is...

 Is a retinol skin re-surfacer serum that helps to target the appearance of fine lines, crows feet and wrinkles.

Retinol Reface by Indeed Labs contains not one but 3 forms of retinol:

Rapid action retinol helps to accelerate the retinol activities for rapid results

Retinol Micro-Spheres, ensure a slow release over time as the retinol is encapsulated in plant based micro-spheres.

Retinol like peptide, provides the same benefits as retinol but is known to be less irritating.

What is Retinol?

Retinol is a derivitive of Vitamin A. It is considered to be beneficial in fighting the signs of ageing.

It is generally recommended you won't start seeing the results until at least 12 weeks if not longer, hence the marathon! So it is a waiting game, but I will say it is a nice serum that doesn't aggravate or irritate my skin. I don't have any wrinkles yet but I am hoping that with use of retinol I'll stave them off a tiny bit longer. Here's hoping!!

September 2014 Favourites Round-Up

September Favourites and Round-up of make-up and skincare I have been enjoying using this month.

Sanctuary New Wonder Oil Serum

With the weather now turning to Autumn, I find myself reaching for oils to use on my face. 

This new product from Sanctuary Spa is a Serum and an oil in one bottle!

Lovely to apply, smells nice and more importantly I notice the difference on my skin when I wake up the next morning.

My detailed review is here

MAC Electric Cool 'Superwatt' Eye-Shadow

from 

MAC's A Novel Romance Collection

(September 2014)

A lovely neutral taupe-y-beige with a slight shimmer to it. Lovely to apply, works best when applied with finger tips. A fantastic swipe and go, similar to the Maybelline Colour tattoos. Stays put all day and on me doesn't crease.

Soap and Glory Super Cat 'FAT' Eye-liner.

Have enjoyed using this eye-liner, easy to use and stays put. 

Creates a dark black line! Perfect to define those upper lashes.

Fresh Sugar Lip Balms have been gracing my lips frequently this month .... 

Both the 'Rose' 'Tulip' and the lip treatment balm at night. Delicious lemon sugar scented balms. The rose and the tulip add just a nice pop of colour whilst hydrating and moisturising the lips.

Weleda Akendoron

This has really helped my blemish prone skin, especially around my chin area. Has helped to clear up and dry up the majority of my spots. Will be continuing to use this before bed to prevent and clear up some more pesky blemishes.

Indeed Hydraluron Moisture Jelly

I know this featured in my August Round-Up but still absolutely loving using this amazing moisturising jelly. Does a really good job of hydrating without feeling sticky and heavy.

My review is here if you want to know more!

Non Beauty Related.... Whittards Dreamtime tea.

A lovely and refreshing drink, nice to have before bed. Honey, apricot and vanilla help you to unwind. Delicious!

Epsom salts

With starting my training towards my 5km in Nov. To say my muscles have been aching is somewhat an under-statement!! I have been enjoying epsom salt baths ... which are amazing and really do help ease the pain!! Not neccesarily straight away, but i do definitely notice a difference the next day.

How to have an Epsom Salts Bath and other uses can be found over on my in-depth post.

So there you have it my September Favourites Round-Up. 
Products i've been loving and using all month!

Take time for you. Take care and look after yourself.
