New Skin Care Products - Trilogy Review

If you've read my blog before you'll remember I have very sensitive skin.  I'm very careful about what I use as the wrong product for my skin type can cause allergic reactions and psoriasis. 

A few months ago I had a pretty bad flare up, I'm not sure what caused it but as a result I cut out all SLS and Paraban products to give my skin time to heal.  I also wanted to avoid the medicated products that I have previously used as I don't want my skin to become to used to them and render them ineffective when I really need them. 

So, I was doing some research on line and came back to Trilogy Skin Care.  I had considered trying trilogy a few years ago but Clarins was working well on my skin and I decided not to rock the boat.  This time however I decided to give it ago. 

I ordered a Rosehip Oil serum  (20ml £19.99) and Vital Moisturising Cream (60ml £24.50).  I always find it best to patch test each item before use so I started with the  Rosehip oil and as I had no reaction to it I followed the on line advice and used this in place of a face serum.  After a week my skin felt great, it was clearer than it had been for a while and had a glow to it.   The inclusion of Rosehip oil products in my routine has the benefits of keeping my skin well hydrated which can be key to controlling my skin breakouts and allergic reactions.  Rosehip also has healing properties so is helping my skin to recover as well as recuperate from environmental and other damage.  

As I had no reaction to the oil I deiced to use it on my decolletage where I tend to suffer most from psoriasis.  It took less than a week for the oil to work it's magic and heal the break out on my skin.  After two weeks there was no trace at all of my skin sensitivity. 


The Vital Moisturising cream really impressed me. You don't need a lot for your skin to feel hydrated and refreshed and this also keeps my skin condition under control.  

After the success of these two products I am now trying they Trilogy Age Proof Active Enzyme Cleansing Cream (200ml, £27.50).  I'm using this in place of my Clarin's Cream cleanser.  Using morning and night, I massage in to my skin, even around the sensitive eye area and use a hot wash cloth to remove.  This works well at removing my make up - there is sometimes a little mascara residue but this usually comes off well with a softer second application.  

My makeup goes on better following these products and my skin has felt less irritated during this long hot summer.  

If your looking for a new skin care range I would definitely recommend giving this a try.

Get Ready With Me - Pamper Routine

Life is hectic, stressful and chaotic, it can play havoc with your skin, your health and your general wellbeing.  Sometimes you just have to say stop and take a little time for yourself to give your body a treat and recharge your batteries for the days/weeks ahead. After going through periods of stress and anxiety I found that taking some time to have a mini pamper session could lift my mood, help my skin and lower my stress levels.  I try at least once a week to give myself a mini pamper session to relax and refocus my mind. This is currently my pamper routine; As we move in to Spring I'm exfoliating my skin with Calcot Manor Body salts, this is refreshing my skin and leaving it feeling smooth after months of being hidden under long sleeves and jumpers. I apply to damp skin using a circular motion starting at the feet and working my way up. CALCOT MANOR SCRUB I then shower off the salts which do leave a bit of oil on the skin, I tend to follow up with Treacle Moon

Festive Reads - Mince Pies and Mistletoe at the Christmas Market

My second Festive Read, yes I know it's still technically September, was Heidi Swain's Mince Pies and Mistletoe at the Christmas Market.   Released in October 2016, this book is part of the Wynbridge series, in this story we are introduced to Ruby who has recently dropped out of university and is heading home to run a market stall for the Cherry Tree Cafe in order to save some money to go travelling. Her dad is not happy that his daughter whom he seems to want to live vicariously through is working as a market trader.  It soon turns out there maybe more to his concerns about her working on the market than it first seemed.  Not only is Ruby faced with dealing with her dad and his strange behaviour but she is working on the stall next to her childhood sweet heart who after three years she still hasn't got over.  Throwing herself in to making this the best Christmas market ever Ruby is determined to being back the community feeling and turn Wynbridge's Christmas mar

10 Things I Love about "It's Okay to Not be Okay"

It's Okay to not be Okay, started this past weekend on Netflix and TVN, produced by Studio Dragon, Story TV and Goldmedalist, it is a Romantic Drama a a whimsical fairy tale twist, staring Kim Soo Hyun in his first TV drama since returning from military service and Seo Ye Ji of Lawless Lawyer. This is a show I've been looking forward to since it was announced and I have to say the pre show hype did not disappoint. So two episodes in, here are the ten things I love about this show so far; 1.  Burton esq Whimsey The show begins with a Tim Burton esq animation, reminiscent of the Corpse Bride and Nightmare before Christmas, with a twisted tale to match.  The dark fairy tale and graphic characters of the animation are carried through in to the illustrations of Ko Moon-young's (Seo Ye Ji) children's books I love how the animation isn't dark which makes some of its darker themes all the more impactful. It also sets up Ko Moon-young as a character bea
