Bizarre beauty... ✌ Let's be real - @oilixia'sGummy Facial Cleanser is unlike ANY other cleansing product I have come across. It doesn't have much of a smell, but the feel is so unique and memorable.  I'll admit, the first time I use this product I felt like I had fallen into a risque adult film. 😂 The consistency is viscous, sticky, and a bit thick when it first comes out of the tube. But don't think for a second that Oilixia's Gummy Cleanser is gross in any way.  Once you accept the oddness, it's a delight to use, and it actually became a favourite of mine! 🌿 I'm sharing all my thoughts on this bizarrely beautiful cleanser over on The ecoLogical today - just click the link in my bio to head over and get the full review! Have you tried this gummy to milk formula yet?? What did you think? 😊💚 . . #oilixia #cleanskincare #cleanser #cleansing #gummy #purpleaesthetic #purplelovers #ethicalbeauty #bizarre #beautycommunity #trendsetter #greenbeautycommunity #allnaturalskincare #naturalskincare #cleanbeauty #veganskincare #tuesday #TextureTuesday #textureshot #skincareblogger #skincarelover #ecoblogger #crueltyfreeskincare #flatlaystyle (at Norwich, Norfolk) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGSrqMXlzb6/?igshid=1dopg9iff2kqq

Oh hey it's my face on @dailymail with my babes @oilixia gummy cleanser! 🤣 This is one of my fave cleansers as it not only leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean, but also provides me with hours of entertainment with its gummy texture. The gel is initially thick and tacky which grips my skin and lifts off any makeup whilst providing the perfect slip for facial massage. I like to leave it on as a mask before adding water to transform it into a milk that easily slips off my skin. Kakadu Plum is packed full of antioxidant vitamin C, 50% more than oranges in fact! This cleanser also contains #phenolicacid to exfoliate, #macadamia oil to nourish and antibacterial #eucalyptusoil . I'm also a BIG fan of their #cacay facial oil. I've been using both for years and they'll always be my go-tos 💜 #supportsmallbusiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CAI8NjjhsU8/?igshid=w1koqtef62q7

Excuse me do you have a minute to talk about our skin-saviour Vitamin C?

Experts agree, vitamin C as a skincare ingredient can both brighten the complexion and iron out wrinkles when added to your daily routine.

Vitamin C can build collagen by increasing fibroblasts, something that is known to increase collagen production. Over time, vitamin C will increase the skin's visible radiance and offer significant antioxidant protection for skin cells.

The best time to start using vitamin C on your skin was yesterday, the next best time is now!

Have you accidentally been using expired beauty products? Here's how to tell

Have you accidentally been using expired beauty products? Here's how to tell

Is your lucky lipstick looking lacklustre? Has your once trusty moisturiser left you a little itchy? It could mean that they’ve taken a turn for the worse. Before you risk putting something perfectly good in the bin (sob) or definitely dodgy on your face (ew), listen up and clean your beauty blender while you’re at it…

Skincare

How do I know how long it should last? You want to make sure you’re not smearing something that’s taken a turn for the funky into your skin, as not only could it cause breakouts, but remember everything going in your skin carries on down into your body. Like, all the way in. Plus, if the active ingredients have gone off, then those two hours you’ve just spent on your ten step regime could have been a big fat waste of time.

Rather than taking a guess and potentially poisoning yourself (dramatic? Us?) or throwing away a perfectly good, eye-wateringly expensive cream, try them on a friend to see if their face falls off.

JOKES.

Actually, try looking for secret symbols. No really! Alexandra Jansons, founder of British-based skincare brand Oilixia, explains…

‘Period After Opening’ (the little tub-and-lid symbol that has a 6M or 12M, for example, printed inside it): “Most products on the market have a shelf life of over 30 months when left UNopened.” The 6 or 12 indicate it’s safe to use for that number of months AFTER opening.

‘Best Before Date’ (hourglass symbol with a date stamped nearby): “This is when the product should be used before. It’s required for a product that has an UNopened shelf life of under 30 months”.

How can I keep it in good shape?

These symbols are useful, yes, but don’t take them as gospel. “They don’t take into consideration how you store the product once you bring them home,” says Dr Stefanie Williams, founder and Medical Director at top London clinic Eudelo. “The storage conditions very much influence how long a skincare item is good for.” This means taking them out of your bathroom (the humidity and constant changes in temperature play havoc on formulas) and off of your windowsill (direct sunlight does the same thing). Try Muji for the niftiest storage solutions.

With skincare becoming more active, and ‘unstable’ ingredients such as Vitamin C being used more widely, the way it’s delivered to consumers – and the size and shape of the containers – is changing. For example, smaller bottles aren’t a way of companies ripping you off. Quite the opposite, says skin care expert and facialist Teresa Tarmey: “A big product can lose properties very easily, or oxidise. Go for smaller sizes that will be used while they’re in their prime”. Try treatment kits too (Teresa has some of her own coming soon: Helloooo celebrity-skin-at-home level skin).

Unless your go-to cream comes in a jar, try going for pipettes and pumps: “Some amazing products come in a jar, but with fingers going in, bacteria goes in. And – depending on the ingredients – constant contact with the air can cause oxidising too” says Tarmey.

Tips and tricks:

“Label your product with the date of opening” suggests Dr Stefanie “as time goes quicker than you think!”. Trying keeping a Sharpie with your products to mark the date you pop their cherry.

If a product comes in a jar or pot, use a spatula or cotton bud to scoop it out instead of your grubby little fingers.

If something stings or tingles (but never used to), wipe it straight off and bin it.

If the colour has changed, bin it “especially with vitamin based serums, which have a tendency to go brownish” says Tarmey.

If something has changed in smell (“sniff for a rancid, sickly-sweet or foul smell” suggests Dr Stefanie) guess what? BIN IT.

Makeup

How do I know if my makeup has gone off?

Because the texture of makeup is so important to its effectivity, it’s actually pretty easy to tell, by sight and feel, whether they’re better off in the bin. “It’s fairly obvious,” says Mary Greenwell (supremo makeup artist of the Laura Mercier Celebrity Makeup Artist Collective UK) “mascara will clog and pencils will dry out”. When you see those changes, it’s time to trash. And not just because they’ll apply badly, but because they’ll fill with bacteria over time. “Adhere to any sell-by dates and chuck them if they look a bit dodgy. I would never risk damage to the skin” says’ Greenwell.

Tips and tricks:

Change mascara and pencils every few months, or when it clogs or dries.

Liquid foundations should last for around a year.

Powders can last for years “unless they get a greasy film” says Mary, “that means they’ve been contaminated with another product.

Regularly cleaning brushes will help stop bacteria transfer and prolong the life of the makeup you’re sweeping them in.

Wipe your lipstick with a tissue after each use to prevent bacteria building up. If it’s dragging or clumping on your lips it’s possibly dried out.

Two New Cleansers

Two New Cleansers

Over the break, I’ve been testing lots of new products – the lilac one is Oilixia Gummy Facial Cleanser, and the second, peachy one is Delarom Face Cleansing Gel. One – Gummy – is more adventurous than the other but I liked them both for different reasons.

Do you think about beauty miles? 🤔 . Today's guest post from @blomma_beauty digs into this issue of sustainability and explains all you need to know about this tricky subject: "From the farms your beauty ingredients come from, where the raw ingredients are processed and manufactured, to the paper mills and factories where the packaging is made, there’s a lot of transport involved and that’s even before that moisturiser or lip balm gets shipped to your local beauty store or delivered to your house." 🌿 You can find the full blog piece up on The ecoLogical (link in bio), and discover all sorts of fab tips for making eco friendly decisions when it comes to your beauty products! Plus, you'll see a whole lot of STUNNING brands like @casamencarelli, @palmofferonia, @bumi.naturals, @soapnskin, @gingergreenco, @oilixia, @true_skincare, and more! 😍 .
