Bio-Fruit Gel Exfolitor from Janssen Cosmetics

Hey dolls, hope you're all well. I don't know about you guys but this weather has been playing havoc with my skin lately and I can't cope...

As you know I'm super oily and prone to the odd breakout. My skin can appear quite shiny at times which is VERY annoying, especially when it comes to wearing makeup.

A crucial part of my skincare routine is exfoliating as it helps to unclog pores and reduce excess oils in the skin.

Recently I've been using the Bio-Fruit Gel exfoliator from Janssen Cosmetics.

I first came across this product a few weeks back when I got a Janssen facial at West End Beauty salon in Drogheda. I couldn't believe the difference it made to my skin. Bear in mind this is specifically for oily to combination skin, so if thats you then read on...:)

I began using the gel exfoliator as part of my skincare regime. Exfoliating is something that should be done no more than once or twice a week. Without getting too scientific, over exfoliating can weaken the skins natural PH and break down the Acid Mantle in the skin which is there to protect the skin against harmful bacteria.

I exfoliate my skin twice a week using the Bio-Fruit Gel. Now this product is a little different to your usual exfoliators as it doesn't contain any gritty particles. It's basically just a gel consistency. This is called a 'peeling' treatment which will basically break down any excess oil on the skin and unclog the pores to leave the skin with a more matte appearance.

To use this product, work some of the gel into your skin and leave for 5-15 minutes. Gently massage and then remove with Luke warm water. I felt a slight tingling sensation while this gel was on my skin, once it was removed my skin felt INCREDIBLY soft and smooth and noticeably less oily.

Top Tip: I recommend using this product at night time as it's important not to expose your skin to sunlight directly after exfoliating and you also want to avoid makeup for a few hours.

This product is available from West End Beauty in Drogheda. Check out their Website for more information on Janssen Cosmetics facials and special offers HERE

As always, if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me ;)

See you all soon guys,

Kisses..

Wedding Fair at City North Hotel on September 24th

                     

Hello beauties, hope you're all well! Can you believe summer is over already???

Major sad face!! :(

Anyways, down to business, today's blog post.. Some of you might remember a few weeks ago I went to the City North Hotel for afternoon tea with my friend Niamh. While we were there we popped into the wedding fair which was taking place in the main function room. Juliet was there doing some makeup demos and I wanted to say hi.

Well......to say I was knocked for six when I walked in would be an understatement!!

Holy moly, hand on my heart I can HONESTLY say it is one of, if not the most amazing wedding function rooms I've ever been in. Everything from the decor, the hundreds of candles and flowers, the centrepieces, the lighting, the music, the light up dance floor (yes it lights up)...it was spectacular.

Of course I couldn't help but snapchat a wee bit of it while I was there..as you do.

Within a couple of hours the snaps came pouring in from people asking where I was. Lots of you were shocked that this gorgeous setting existed within the City North hotel, one of my snapchat followers even commented 'I thought you were in Powerscourt or somewhere!!'

Sooooooo, due to the abundance of snaps, screenshots and messages I got about the wedding ballroom, I've teamed up with the City North hotel to give you the full lowdown on everything you need to know about this beautiful wedding fair.

All you budding Brides and grooms, listen up..

Complete with candles, fairy lights, flowers and did I mention the light up dance floor??;)

A private banquet room is available to cater for more intimate wedding parties, this banquet room is even available for your civil ceremony. Again the wedding team will ensure the ultimate fairytale setting.
