One Nourishing Night Cream To Rule Them All

My night time skincare routine has significantly upped it’s game these past several months, with a lot of focus going on serums and overnight masks, but it’s been a while since I introduced a new night cream into my routine.

The Antipodes Avocado Pear Nourishing Night Cream not only sounds delicious (for the face not for consumption of course), but it’s also proven to have anti-ageing benefits, or as they put it, it’s ‘scientifically shown to stimulate synthesis of collagen production in human cells by up to 92%’ and it does all this whilst also being vegan friendly.

So what’s not to love about this product… Well, nothing actually. It’s very creamy and really does feel super nourishing on the skin. It comes in a cute little glass jar and has a sort of herbal smell which I personally really like.

As I very quickly discovered, only a small amount of the nourishing night cream is needed on each application, as it really is a very creamy product which spreads easily. I found that when applying too much of the cream, my skin was left feeling a little bit greasy. After mastering the application I realised I only need one to two pea sized amounts to cover my neck and face. I’ve found it’s just the right amount and it leaves my skin feeling instantly hydrated. The real magic however works over night as all the natural oils and goodness soak into the skin.

This Antipodes night cream really does leave my skin feeling plump, hydrated and just as it says, nourished.

For me this isn’t an every night cream but for when I need that extra creamy nourishing goodness for my skin, I immediately reach for this jar. This night cream is suitable for all types of skin but I’d definitely recommend it if you have particularly dry skin or if like me, you have combination skin that needs a little extra nourishment from time to time. I’m certainly a new fan of the Antipodes Nourishing Night Cream as it leaves my skin feeling amazing.

Have you tried any of the Antipodes products?

Creating A Flawless Future With Elizabeth Arden

My skincare routine has changed a lot recently. I turned another year older in June and although I may still look young (I hope), I know that I mustn’t take it for granted and it’s important that I take the steps now to look after my skin for the future. Now that I’m officially in my mid twenties I want to invest in skincare that can hopefully help maintain the youthful look of my skin a while longer…

A problem I often have is finding products that are exactly right for my age. I’m often drawn in by skincare products to then find that they are either for much younger or much older skin than my own, so I was excited when I discovered the Elizabeth Arden Flaweless Future range.

I don’t know about you but I usually think of Elizabeth Arden as a brand that caters for an older age range. Although I have tried a couple of their products in the past, I had never ventured into trying out their facial skincare/moisturisers, until now.

Flawless Future Caplet Serum
First of all let’s talk about the packaging. Okay, so the look of the packaging isn’t going to make the product work any better but I have to say I instantly loved the look of this, as I just think it looks so pretty. It’s the type of product you’d want to keep out on your dressing table…

Anyway, onto the important stuff. When you pump out the serum the tiny caplets inside burst as the serum is released. It has a gorgeous shimmer to it that instantly makes your skin look glowing and more radiant.

This is a serum that can be used both morning and night. However, I tend to use it just in the morning, as I love the look it gives my skin (with the ever so slight shimmer) so I personally almost feel it’s a waste wearing it for bed.

The serum has quite a runny consistency but it dries quickly once applied to the skin. Once it’s on, I can’t even feel that it’s there.

For the instant effects it certainly helps to give me a brighter looking complexion as I feel the shimmering particles within the serum help reflect the light and add a glow to my skin. For long term effects, it claims to ‘intercept early aging signs’ and ‘reduce the appearance of early signs of wrinkles’.

Flawless Future Night Cream

The night cream is luxuriously creamy. When I’ve applied it to my skin it feels instantly hydrated as it starts to sink in and work its magic.

This cream is very thick and so a little bit goes a long way. I especially feel it works great after I’ve had a hectic day and my skin requires a little extra care.

The morning after having applied this cream I can see that it has worked its magic, as it leaves my skin feeling so hydrated and plumped.

I’ve currently been using these two Flawless Future products for about three months now and I’m really pleased with them both as the two products combined have been working fabulously on my skin. I think that they are the type of products that you can easily work into your current skincare routine (as I have done). The night cream has worked a dream on my skin when it’s looking a little fatigued and the serum has fit perfectly into my routine each morning.

I’ll be keen to invest in both of these products again. More so the night cream than the serum, as I have to say that the night cream has been my favourite out of the two. They are quite pricey but I feel that for the results I have found them to have on my skin, they are worth it if you can alternate them between your other skincare products and make them last. I personally think that these are great ones to add to the Christmas wish list.

Superdrug Naturally Radiant Renewing Night Cream

I absolutely love finding new skincare products that work really well and don’t break the bank. I’m constantly on the look out for different lotions and potions to try but as I’m not one to waste money I usually like to do some research on products before investing my cash. On this occasion however I went on a whim, as I was buying a Superdrug’s own brand so it wasn’t too pricey and it was also on offer. The product in question is Superdrug’s Naturally Radiant Renewing Night Cream.

I’ve now had several weeks of using the Naturally Radiant Renewing Night Cream and I am really impressed with it. I was afraid at first as the product does feel a little oily and for a night cream I was scared it would block my pores and cause pimples. However I have been pleasantly surprised with this moisturiser, as each morning I’ve woke up with my skin feeling soft and rejuvenated.

As the product is rather creamy, you don’t need to use a lot as it smooths easily onto the skin. I really like the smell of the cream, as I always like the scent of skin products that smell slightly antibacterial and this cream has a very clean and slightly sweet scent.

After using the night cream most evenings since having bought it, I have noticed some blemishes on my cheek appear reduced and I also feel it has helped my skin to look more refreshed in the mornings. I think this cream is great value for money and I’d certainly recommend this product for those with normal to dry skin. I personally give this renewing night cream a bit thumbs up.
