Ren Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask

I held off buying this mask despite the amazing reviews I kept reading . 

I have been really strict with myself about finishing off my products before buying any more. I have also had a clear out of items that I am never going to use, not ever. Sometimes there is just no point using up the cupboard space to store them. 

This is a hefty £30 and although it claims to renew the complexion and dramtically improve skin tone amongst other things, I simply couldn't justify it. However, my dermalogica microfoliant came to an end and I had a run of work come in so I decided to bite the bullet and give it a go.

You cleanse your skin as normal then apply the product which is a dark yellow, gel like substance, all over the face and neck. You leave for 10 minutes and then remove with a damp cloth.

Oh my word.

 I wish I hadn't waited!

My skin immediately looked and felt tighter and firmer. It was smoother and the lines were  definitely reduced even after one use! My make up went on like a dream for a couple of days after I had used this mask as well. At the moment I am using this once a week. I do experience some tingling after use which is normal because of the strength of the product. It is not recommended for very sensitive skin, but I have fairly sensitive skin and I am fine with it. As with all products it is best to test a small area first to see if it causes irritation or reaction.

Ren is a naturally based company and their products are free from skin unfriendly synthetic ingredients. You can read all about Ren here.

I have some birthday money to spend in John Lewis and am going to head straight to the Ren counter to try some more of their products out. My cleansers are nearly gone so watch this space. 

Have you tried this mask yet?

Magazine Free Gifts

I always have to be careful not to fall into the temptation of getting a magazine I don't really want to read, for a free gift I won't really use - like the pair of (not so) flattering sunglasses or the (never to be worn) jet black gel eyeliner . However, it does make sense when offers come up that end up saving you money. Last month Beauty And the Biryani  reminded me in her blog post of the fantastic Benefit offers with Glamour magazine and I got a lovely mascara , that is now my daily favourite! Thank you for that one!

Having said that I have succumbed to two this month. My monthly subscription through my Tesco vouchers to Red magazine has come to an end and I haven't yet renewed it. I went to pick up a copy and found that they had some sample sizes of Ren - hand and body cream, eye gel and day cream as their free gift . These are a perfect size for our camping trip in a few weeks time. Whilst in the mood I gathered up the latest copy of Elle , that had a medium size tube of St. Tropez gradual Tan, which I use all the time on my lily white legs, so again well worth the price of a magazine I like to read anyway.

 I am a bit of a magazine girl - it is an easy way to relax when you have kids ! My favourites are Red, Easy Living, Grazia, Elle and  Vogue. What do you like to read if you get the chance?
