So who’s excited that summer is FINALLY here? We know there were a few lovely days in May, but now it’s July, it’s actually summer!

Which of course means our skin goes into meltdown at the change of seasons, sun, heat, make-up getting sticky, sweating more, air conditioning, chlorine filled swimming pools and effects of lots of late evenings spent drinking a cold beer or G&T in a warm garden or at a festival.

And when we travel, we don’t always think about what our skin needs, as much as what our weight allowance is, or what’s nearly empty, so may as well come with us to be finished and binned while we’re on holiday. You know you’ve done it!

So, to help with skin meltdowns, luggage allowance dilemmas and general summer skincare issues, Beauty Fresh has got some mini skincare products to suit every skin type. Containing products small enough to fit into hand luggage, but mighty enough to keep your skin happy and glowing all summer long.

Summer Hydration: Crystal Clear Revitalising Tonic

by

You cannot underestimate how important it is to keep skin hydrated on a daily basis. The effects of anything else we use on our skin will be dramatically reduced if the skin isn’t hydrated in the first place.

Crystal Clear Revitalising Tonic

The products you use won’t penetrate correctly and therefore you won’t see the impressive results you’re after or maybe other people boast. Worse, you won’t notice much change to your skin.”

Hydrate all year round

A lot of people understand this but make the mistake of only applying it when it’s hot or when they’re travelling but Beauty Fresh is certain,

“You need to look after your hydration every single day, all year round – it’s not just a summer thing. If you know any keen runners or you are one yourself, you’ll know they talk about hydrating the day before big races. If you are hydrated, your body feels better and can perform better. The same is true for your skin. If you’ve got an important day ahead or glamorous night out – hydrate well the day before and you’ll notice a sparkle. Your skin will feel lighter and brighter to you. And people will notice!”

What is your secret to keeping your skin hydrated?

Liquid intake is key…

Cerys from Crystal Clear: “Obviously liquid intake is the most important thing. I drink a lot of cold water, love smoothies and protein shakes but people worry a lot about caffeine. Everyone has a contradicting theory but coffee or tea are still fine for hydration, as long as they’re not the main part of your liquid intake. As always, it’s about moderation.

Tonics & spritz will add to hydration

But if you want to go a little further – Crystal Clear Revitalising Tonic is a daily must throughout the year for me. It’s permanently on my desk, in my car, in my handbag! In the summer or on holidays I keep it in the fridge and use it as a hydrating spritz. It reduces any risk of suffering with dehydrated skin.”

So there you have it. Drink lots, and perhaps invest in a hydration tonic or spritz if you want to go a little further. We hope you’ve liked this skincare tip from the top.

Vitamin C. The Skincare Super-Ingredient

by


Doctors recommend maintaining a healthy balanced diet in order to get our daily dose of Vitamin C (65 to 90 mg per day) that will help support our immune system and overall health. But recently, the spotlight has been on the increasing popularity of the use of Vitamin C in skincare products.

What makes Vitamin C special in skincare?

A powerful antioxidant, Vitamin C is truly effective in neutralising the free radicals on the skin. These damaging free radicals are caused by environmental pollution and cause inflammation on the skin. Free radicals are also responsible for breaking the skin’s collagen, and consequently causing wrinkles and sagging.

Vitamin C’s powerful antioxidant action protects the skin from irritation but also has anti-ageing action. By activating collagen synthesis, it fights the signs of ageing, revives the micro-circulation of blood and stimulates cellular renewal minimising age spots and improving skin texture.

It also reduces the appearance of pigmentation caused by sun damage helping the skin retain its youthfulness. It reduces red blotches left after spots by improving the skin’s natural healing process. This way, it’s brightening the complexion giving the skin a glowing, youthful look.

Finally, it increases the effectiveness of sunscreen and gives the skin better protection from UV rays.

Matis C7 Booster, a Vitamin C treatment for radiant, youthful skin


The Matis C7 Booster is a true seven-day kickstart for the skin with a high concentration (79%) of Vitamin C.

It comes with 7 spheres of the purest form of Vitamin C and an activating serum which when blended together, rehydrate allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin. The activating serum’s formula is based on lactic acid which hydrates and exfoliates the superficial layers of the skin effectively, preparing the skin for the treatment. It also lowers the skin’s pH level to 3.7 and allows the pure Vitamin C to permeate deeper into the skin.

The Matis formula ensures that all the qualities of Vitamin C are naturally preserved when combining the formulations and applying to the skin.

What makes the Matis C7 Booster different?

The Matis C7 Booster doesn’t contain parabens, silicone, colouring agents, fragrances or mineral oil. A specific innovative type of Vitamin C is used for its formula, which is preserved in its most effective form (pure L-ascorbic acid), for higher efficacy than stabilised Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid derivatives). This form of Vitamin C is encapsulated in a 3D matrix which stabilises it without resorting to preservatives or derivatives and eliminates irritation. It has a quicker absorption into the skin than a stabilised Vitamin C.

How to apply the Matis C7 Booster

For best results use the C7 Booster for 7 nights in a row to re-programme your skin:

1. Place 1 sphere of Vitamin C into the palm of your hand
2. Add 2 pipettes of the activating serum
3. Press your hands together to combine the serum and sphere
4. The product is ready to apply to your face by lightly massaging in until completely absorbed

Rewinding the clock

by

Do you want a new you?

Let’s face it, our skin has a tough time protecting us from the environment and we often forget the impact that this can have.

Crystal Clear have been working on a clinically proven breakthrough anti-ageing range specifically to target the ageing effects of mature skin on the neck. Crystal Clear introduced Rewind10 to the world!

Say goodbye to ageing neck and décolletage.

For most ladies, the ageing process on the neck and décolletage can be a real concern. We listened to you and we found the solution! Crystal Clear Rewind10 Super Sonic Neck Firm & Lift Duo work together to instantly lift, firm and restore the neck and décolletage area.

The powerful formulation is super charged with advanced, clinical level, high-grade active ingredients to target the dramatic effects ageing can have on your neck area. This luxurious, intensive moisturiser works in harmony with the sonic vibrations to deeply penetrate the skin and leaving you with a lifted, firmer, younger looking, neck and décolletage.

Just look at the results!

In clinical trials, Rewind10 Super Sonic Neck Firm & Lift Duo was clinically proven to:

  • Firm the face by 37%
  • Firm the neck by 29%
  • Firm the décolletage by 42%

How do I use it?

It’s simple! Use as part of your daily beauty routine morning and night. Apply Crystal Clear Rewind10 Super Charged Face & Neck Moisturiser to the neck and décolletage area and using the Neck Lift wand, massage carefully into these areas, paying particular attention to any problem areas such as under the chin and sagging skin.

Matis Reponse Delicate; A comfort blanket for reactive, delicate skin

by

Redness? Dryness? Irritated skin? Meet the wonder skincare line that was formulated specifically for delicate skins and will offer comfort, protection and an enhanced feeling of well-being to the skin.

Start your day with a clean face with our Delicate Cleansing Cream. This gentle make-up remover is rich in softening agents. It leaves the skin velvety, without a greasy feeling. Formulated specifically for sensitive skins, its active ingredients include Illipe Butter, an emollient very renowned for its nourishing properties, sweet almond milk which soothes the skin and calms irritation and tuberose essential wax which has great moisturising and softening action.

Continue to the second step of your cleansing ritual by choosing the Matis Delicate toner that responds best to your skin’s specific needs. The Delicate Lime Blossom Lotion is an alcohol free toner that gently removes all impurities. The lime blossom extract present in the formula, comes from the Tilia Cordata flowers and is an active ingredient that has soothing and calming properties. The Delicate SensiMilk Toner has a luscious texture that provides an instant feeling of comfort and well-being. It combines the mildness of a milk with the freshness of a lotion and removes all traces of make-up, whilst being gentle to the skin.

Before moving to the moisturising of the skin, first apply a blanket of refreshing comfort for sensitive skins with the Matis Delicate Absolute Soothing Serum. This serum calms the feeling of irritation on the skin, reduces the appearance of redness and due to its consistency in Squalane Plant (an active ingredient that derives from the transformation of olive oil) it helps restore the lipid barrier of the skin and prevents dehydration.

Complete the nourishing of your skin with the Delicate Moisturising Cream. Enriched with active ingredients like Illipe butter and Shea butter, it optimises the skin’s water reserves, restores the skin barrier and protects the skin from sensations of discomfort. The Kudzu vine extract, also present in its formula, is rich in flavonoids, has soothing properties and targets signs of skin irritation (discomfort, redness). An alternative moisturiser from the same line is the Delicate SensiBiotic Cream. This cream has the power to re-balance the skin’s ecosystem and preserve the skin barrier. It strengthens skin’s defences and improves skin sensitisation.

To give your sensitive skin an extra boost, use once weekly the Delicate Peeling Cream for a gentle, non-mechanical exfoliation. Especially adapted for sensitive and reactive skin, the Delicate Peeling Cream does not need to be worked into the skin because of its 100% enzymatic action. Its gentle erasing power allows exfoliation around the eye contour area and mouth. The skin texture is refined, and the grey complexion finds its glow. Complete your weekly ritual with the use of the Delicate Night Care Mask.  This mask is a night bath of intense relaxation for sensitive and stressed skin. It has a light texture to comfortably leave on your skin overnight for a fresh and stress-free complexion in the morning. In periods of a skin flare up, you can use the Delicate SensiMelting Mask. This is an instant relief mask that has the power to soothe and refresh the skin, restoring its comfort and suppleness.

 

It’s time to hydrate your skin, the right way!

Gatineau Defilift 3D Body Oil 200ml & Body Brush

A beauty go-to for centuries, the properties of ‘oils’ have been used as both healing ailments as well as to nourish and condition the hair, skin and nails. And if this winter you are feeling that you constantly pile on the body lotion but your skin never quite feels properly hydrated then perhaps it’s time to embrace a body oil.

 

Body oils are also incredibly versatile. Not only are they the perfect formula for that ‘sensory’ spa-like treat, they’re also great for targeting particularly dry, flaky or problematic areas.   Whilst body moisturisers often do the job, body oil feels super luxurious and can deeply nourish in a way lotions sometimes can’t.

 

In winter, dry itchy skin can be caused by continuous temperature change where skin is exposed to both the extreme cold and harsh central heating both of which can compromise our skin’s protective barrier and suck vital moisture out.   Our skin barrier is composed of natural oils and water and is designed to help keep moisture in and impurities and toxins out as well as help your skin’s natural repair process so when it becomes compromised so do we!

 

Enter Gatineau’s Defilift 3D Body Oil and body brush collection EXCLUSIVE to BEAUTY FRESH which certainly does not disappoint and is a firm favourite duo with both salon professionals and customers.

 

 

The Defilift 3D Body Oil is SO much more than just nourishing body oil and is formulated with a potent blend of active ingredients to target multiple skin issues and problem areas. Whether you have dry, flaky and itchy skin, uneven skin tone, ‘lumpy bumpy areas’ or if you are just looking for that all important anti-ageing boost, Defilift 3D Body Oil certainly ticks all the boxes.

Aside from the lingering bloom of Lotus scent, the formula is power-packed with a potent blend of botanicals.  With highly restorative Grapeseed Oil, to draining and circulation boosting Ivy Extract, to skin smoothing and anti-oxidant rich Green Tea, this really is the ‘Rolls Royce’ of body oils.

 

Use Defilift 3D Body Oil once a day after showering and apply to slightly damp skin massaging in until absorbed. And to really elevate its benefits, team it with a twice weekly ‘skin body brush’. Dry brushing really helps to effectively remove the build-up of dead skin cells whilst boosting the blood circulation and stimulating the release of unwanted toxins.

 

Trust me your skin will feel deeply nourished, supple and silky soft.  Skin will appear ageless and all those lumpy bumpy areas will look and feel smooth.

 

The art of Body Brushing:

Body brushing is easy and no pressure is required.

Body Brush twice a week before showering

Start at the ankles in upward movements towards the heart. This is because the lymphatic fluid flows through the body towards the heart so it’s more beneficial to brush in the same direction.  Just work the brush in upward stroking movements working towards the heart in light strokes.

Give particularly dry areas and cellulite special attention, but don’t scrub

Work in clockwise circular rotations over the abdomen in the direction of the digestive system

Welcome Spring with a fresh, balanced skin

by Leave a Comment

Spring is finally around the corner so it’s time to prepare our skin for these first rays of sunshine. Matis Reponse Pureté is a line of 6 products created to help combined to oily skin-types regain their radiance and purity. The active ingredients present in the line treat large pores, improve dull complexion and correct skin imperfections.

Matisebo System is a combination of specific acids combinations derived from an African Tree extract and has sebum-regulating action that limits the multiplication of sebocytes, which are sebum-producing cells within the sebaceous glands.

SOFT AHA’S: (Malic acid grafted to oat protein): They provide an effective, very soft and targeted exfoliation to the outer skin layers. The grafting of malic acid to oat proteins increases the size of the AHA and limits their skin penetration. This technological advancement limits the targeted action to the superficial layers of the epidermis which results to an effective but non-irritating exfoliation.

Matis Reponse Pureté Clay Mask absorbs excess sebum whilst avoiding drying out the skin, leaving a clear and matt skin. After application, the complexion is radiant and fresh, and pores are tightened. Reponse Pureté Purifying Gel is the perfect cleanser for combination and oily skins. Purifying Gel is a translucent gel that turns into a rich foam upon contact with water that gently removes make-up and other impurities leaving the skin clear whilst maintaining the skin’s balance. Reponse Pureté Pure Lotion completes the cleansing process and gives to the skin a shine-free, luminous and velvety appearance. Intense Purity Serum is a balancing and perfecting serum designed to beautify the skin texture. It reduces the appearance of pores and imperfections by rebalancing the skin flora and regulating sebum production helping the skin find its clarity.

Pureté Shine Control Purifying Care is a day cream for the daily care of combination skin types that are prone to oiliness. It refreshes the skin controlling sebum production and leaves it clear and moisturised.  The SOS Paste is dedicated to skin with imperfections, activating the absorption of pimples and preventing their appearance. It exfoliates, purifies and absorbs the sebum excess. Pimples are dried up and diminished.
