April 2015: Must-Have Beauty Product Guide

Did you ever wonder how the celebs do it? How do they manage to look good year in and year out, seemingly without ageing a single year? Obviously most of them have access to various services that the normal girl simply does not. They have personal trainers to keep their bodies in tip top condition. They have nutritionists and chefs to make sure they are eating nothing but the right things. They go to spas to soften and smooth out their skin, get rid of cellulite and unclog pores. Taking all this into consideration, we’ve put together April’s must-have beauty product guide. Here it is featuring some of the best, and most affordable beauty products there are to make us look like a Hollywood star. Without the expensive price tags.

Mia Flora Coconut Oil

Well known for its multi-tasking benefits, Coconut Oil is a great ingredient for an at-home hair mask or overnight conditioning treatment. Mia Flora Coconut Oil, once warmed slightly, can be combed through your hair to replace lost moisture and add volume and shine. Either use alone or experiment with other ingredients such as almond oil.

Dry Eye Gel

Typical treatment for hayfever are anti-histamines and eye drops, however very little is offered to treat the skin around the eye. Anti-histamine eye drops also have a very drying and irritant effect on the skin around the eye, which can add to the problem Skin Shop’s Dry Eye Gel is a light natural gel that contains a plant extract of Cardiospermum. Dry Eye Gel has been tested on dry skin sufferers and developed to be an extremely gentle and light formulation suitable for very sensitive, itchy, inflamed and dry skin around the eye. The new gel delivers the anti-inflammatory anti-itching benefits of the cardiospermum extract without damaging or irritating the delicate skin around the eye.

LA MONTAÑA Alfredo’s Café Candle

New from LA MONTAÑA, the candle range is inspired by life on a Valencian mountainside, is Alfredo’s Café, a rich, mellow, inviting blend of coffee, black tobacco and brandy, laced with leather and incense.  This fragrance evokes the best aromas of the village square. Perfect to have burning in any stylish office or studio.

Madame LA LA Tan

Get the ultimate summer tan this month with a bottle Madame LA LA. This brand of tan provides an instant LA glow that develops into an even deep golden colour in just three hours. The lightweight tinted mousse is a quick-dry DD Tan perfector (Dynamic do-all) infused with hydrating skincare benefits; Coco Water, Aloe, Green Tea and Vitamin E, plus built-in skin finishing perfectors. Innovative colour customising technology ensures your tan looks natural whilst adapting to your individual skin tone. Madame LA LA Tan will last for 10 days as if you have spent two weeks on Malibu Beach.

Silver Serum

Sweating, sun and suncreams all help bacteria breed on the skin, leading to summer acne. Silver Serum from Skin Shop is the first ‘good flora’ promoting anti-acne skin treatment that contains a patented form of silver called MicroSilver that specifically seeks out and kills bad skin bacteria while letting good skin flora flourish and multiply. The problem with anti-acne skin treatments is that they kill all skin bacteria, both bad and good. So yes they get rid of the spots, but they leave the skin extremely dry and flaky. Skin needs good skin bacteria to stay healthy and balanced. This is particularly important for people with adult acne as the harsh anti-bacterial agents in treatments aimed primarily at teens can leave adult skin extremely dry and can lead to premature ageing.

Manuka Doctor Hair Mask

This brand new product from Mnuka Doctor, the ApiRevive Restorative Hair Mask, is a rich and creamy conditioning treatment that works to replenish lost moisture and add nourishment to revitalise damaged hair. Perfect for taking on holiday with you or for using if you’re going to be spending a lot of the time in the sun.
