Introducing the new SKIN functional Body Range

SKIN functional released their new body range a couple of months ago, and it’s simply perfect. Now we can experience the SKIN functional difference, all over. Introducing the new SKIN functional Body Range…

SKIN functional Body Range

Expertly formulated to exfoliate dead skin cells with a daily salicylic acid Body Wash while moisturising with their Body Lotion for smooth and supple skin. Included in the set is the Non-Abrasive Body Scrub for extra exfoliation with removal of rough texture and for better absorption of the Body Lotion.

The SKIN functional range is perfection. Not only does it make your skin feel pampered, but it’s extremely effective in treating common skin concerns.

I have a teenager in the house, and hormonal acne has reared its ugly head… particularly, bacne. My poor kid has spots all over her back and it’s not nice at all. I struggled with is as a teenager as well. SKIN functional has come to the rescue though. Since she started using the range, the spots are starting to disappear. She has to use it consistently though.

She also struggles with keratosis pilaris on her upper arms. Keratosis pilaris causes dry, rough patches and tiny bumps on the skin, often on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks or buttocks. Once again, this body range has proven to be very effective. Well done SKIN functional.

My girl has very (very!) sensitive skin and this winter is just the worst. She says that the products feel good, but it does cause a tiny bit of tingling when applied. It does disappear quickly, and a bit of tingling won’t stop her from using it. This is her first time using products that contain salicylic acid and it’s something she’ll get used to quickly.

Why is salicylic acid the star ingredient in the SKIN functional Body Range:

Salicylic acid exfoliates the outer Stratum Corneum, (the top layer of the skin), encouraging new cell production which brightens overall complexion. Salicylic Acid decongests blocked pores by dissolving the type of skin debris that clogs pores and causes breakouts.

I don’t experience any tingling at all. And when I do, I love it… it’s proof that the product does its job. I’ve also used all three products in the range, and I am hooked. I mean, who doesn’t want soft, smooth, glowing skin?

The Body Wash foams beautifully and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth. I love that my skin doesn’t feel stripped after using it.

BHA Body Treatment Body Scrub

The Body Scrub is an absolute treat! Its jelly-like consistency makes it a pleasure to use, and because it’s not abrasive at all, it works very well on sensitive skin. You almost feel surprised that the result is super smooth skin after using something that didn’t feel like it did much. It does a lot! 10 out of 10. This beauty will help with acne, keratosis pilaris, razor rash and ingrown hairs.

BHA Body Treatment Body Lotion

SKIN functional Body Range BHA Body Treatment Body Lotion

The Body Lotion is very light, but still moisturising. My skin is extremely dry right now though, so I apply an oil or balm afterwards where my skin needs a little extra. I’m sure this lotion will be perfect during the summer months.

There you have it… the perfect body trio by SKIN functional. Pop over here to shop this highly effective and affordable range.

Thank you for this great introduction to your brand, SKIN functional. To say I’m impressed, is an understatement. I can’t wait to try more of your products and see what you bring us next.

Tattoo After Care – treat your art the way it deserves

I got the best Christmas present ever – my husband gave me a tattoo voucher and five weeks ago I got the tattoo that I’ve dreamed of for ages. I still can’t get over how beautiful it is. If you love your tattoos, you know how important it is to treat your art the way it deserves. Tattoo after care is vital.

Treat your art the way it deserves

Flowers and dragonfly tattoo Pretty Please Charlie

I am still completely and utterly in love with my tattoo. I love the design and I am so happy that I finally have my dragonfly (it’s for my grandmother who passed a few years ago). I was a bit nervous for this one. I now have ten tattoos in total, but most of them are small and not really ‘in your face’. This one is very visible. To myself and others. I am taking extra good care of this beautiful piece. I want my tattoo to look fresh and vivid for years to come.

Note: Always follow your artist’s guidelines while your tattoo is healing!

The kind people at Tattoo Skincare gave me a voucher to shop on their online store and I got myself a big bottle of Tattoo After Care Skin Moisturiser. They also surprised me with a jar of Sonatur Exfoliator.

Did you know that exfoliating your tattooed skin is an important part of your skincare routine? Regular exfoliation is a key step in ensuring that your tattoo stays looking fresh and vibrant. Note: only exfoliate your skin once your tattoo is completely healed! Gently exfoliating once or twice a week is more than ample. I haven’t tried the exfoliator on my tattooed skin as my tattoo is not 100% healed yet, but I tried it on my face. This is lovely stuff! If you like manual exfoliators, this one is well worth it.

Another vital part of long-term care to keep your healed tattoo looking fabulous… sunscreen. In the words of the Sunscreen Song… ‘If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it’. Showing my age here again, ha-ha.

And now we get to the most important step of caring for your tattoos…

Moisturising your tattooed skin is vital to keep your tattoo looking fresh and vivid. Dry skin = tattoos that look faded and dull. Skin health should always be a priority.

Tattoo After Care Skin Moisturiser Pretty Please Charlie

Tattoo After Care Skin Moisturising Cream has been developed to keep your tattoos moisturised and vivid, without putting any harmful chemicals on your skin.

With a unique combination of essential oils and a natural base, the Tattoo After Care Skin Moisturiser range is suitable for normal or sensitive skin and can be used on the face or body and as often as needed. And it’s all natural!

The Tattoo After Care Skin Moisturiser is non-oily, it’s not sticky, it absorbs quickly and it makes a great after sun soothing lotion.

A key ingredient in this lotion is organic rose geranium essential oil.  Rose geranium has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, which is great for healing.

This truly is a lovely lotion. It’s light, but packs a punch in the moisturising department. It applies smoothly and easily and does not drag the skin. It also absorbs super quickly and it does not leave a film on the skin. It leaves your skin feeling nourished and cared for.

My husband and sister also tried it and agreed with my thoughts. My husband’s words: ‘Wow, it really brings out the tattoo’.

The rose geranium scent can be overwhelming when you apply the lotion. The scent does dissipate after a while leaving a lovely scent on your skin. I don’t mind smelling like a turkish delight :)

I highly recommend Tattoo After Care Skin Moisturiser.
