REN Flash Rinse – From lacklustre to luminous in 60 seconds

The new REN Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial will transform your skin from dull and fatigued to radiant and smooth in 60 seconds flat.

IMG_00002305

This revitalising gel based treatment contains the following ingredients to leave your skin looking and feeling smooth, toned and firm:

  • Boswellic acid – To relax muscles and fight facial fatigue & to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Magnesium – To energise and boost radiance.
  • Vitamin C – To stimulate collagen synthesis, aid skin elasticity and firmness, reduce oxidative and UV damage, even out skin tone & provide instant radiance to the skin.

Why Vitamin C? It instantly brightens and evens skin tone and has a firming, toning and lifting effect on the skin. As Vitamin C is collagen boosting, it also aids skin elasticity and firmness in the long run. It also aids in repairing UV damage.

The product itself is a pale green gel that feels like a silicon-based primer and gentle exfoliator combined. The gel is then massaged into dry, cleansed skin. Once done, you wet your fingers and massage again. The water activates the potent dose of Vitamin C! When the water mixes with the gel, the ‘grainy bits’ disappear on contact and it feels like a smooth gel that you are massaging all over your skin. Then you leave it on for 1 minute before rinsing or removing with a face cloth.

I have used it 3 times since I received it and the results are amazing. My skin instantly feels so soft and smooth and it glows. My skin is a little red afterwards, but it is not irritated at all. It is more of a flushed look (like when I run up a flight of stairs… still working on my fitness, okay!), but my skin settles quite quickly again.

Why I love it:

  • It is the quickest facial I have ever had
  • The results are immediately visible
  • My skin looks healthy and radiant

Great job REN! My skin already loved you, but now it loves you even more.

This fabulous white and silver tube retails for R470 and will launch at selected Woolworths stores nationwide on 1 September 2014 and at selected Foschini stores on 1st of October.

Radiant skin thanks to REN Skincare

I am seriously crushing on this brand right now. I have only recently started using their products, but have been lusting after REN for years. Also see my previous reviews HERE and HERE.

The number 1 product that I have been wanting to try is the GLYCOLACTIC RADIANCE RENEWAL MASK. Off the bat I knew I was going to be impressed as so many bloggers give this mask rave reviews.

A potent bio active peel mask designed to renew the complexion, reduce the appearance of fine lines and dramatically improve skin tone. Results: Skin looks brighter, healthier, more radiant. Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Combats congestion, blackheads and blemishes.

A generous amount of the gel-like mask is applied onto clean skin and left to do its magic for 10 minutes. After those 10 minutes my skin looks radiant and bright and feels silky smooth. I love using it when my skin needs a little extra boost. It also works beautifully after a deep cleansing mask. R490.

RESURFACING AHA CONCENTRATE

When I see AHA I always get excited. Love me some acids, ha-ha.

A concentrate formulated to resurface the skin and renew the complexion giving a radiant, youthful glow. A complex of Glycolic, Lactic, Tartaric and Citric acids promotes skin-cell turnover leaving skin looking revitalised, brighter, smoother and more healthy.

I apply this product at night after I’ve cleansed, before applying my serums and moisturiser. I have been using it for a couple of weeks and I think it’s worth every cent. My skin is left smooth and radiant and I wake up looking fresh. My skin looks brighter and more even since I’ve started using it. Great stuff REN. R480

MICRO POLISH CLEANSER

A two in one formula that deeply cleanses and gently exfoliates the skin to leave it looking purified, renewed and radiant. Results: Skin feels purified, smooth and soft. The complexion appears brighter, radiant and more energized. Helps reduce the appearance of pore size and fine lines.

I prefer exfoliators that come in liquid or mask form as my skin can be very sensitive to abrasive scrubs. Luckily this one has not irritated my skin at all. I use it once a week and usually follow with a deep cleansing mask. As far as scrubs go, I really like this one. R320
