Smooth Skin Gold: IPL permenant hair removal device

 

Smooth Skin Gold IPL device: £299.99 available at Boots

I've recently been reading into IPL devices a lot lately and they really interested me.
basically an IPL device uses Intense Pulsed Light technology to deactivate the hair folecules that are in the growth stage, as not all of our hair grows at the same time the hair that is in the resting stage will then grow through and you use it again to deactivate those hair folecules. This is not an immediate permanent solution you will need to carry on using the device for a solid 12 weeks and then only when needed and you should see a significant decrease in hair growth! Brilliant right!?
And it's painless and doesn't cause any irritating ugly shaving rash which is amazing!

The only downside is that it can not be used on all skin tones (most not all) so check before you buy!
Another great thing about the IPL devices is that you do not have to wait for your hair to grow to be able to use it, unlike epilating or waxing, which means no more awkward hairy legs between uses!

It's recommended to do a skin patch test just to check your skin is suitable and you wont have any adverse reactions.

I was recently lucky enough to get my hands on the Smooth Skin gold IPL device which is unique in this market as it adapts the IPL to your skin tone as well as having a sensitive setting which is amazing! this device can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight so do expose treated skin to direct sunlight after use and always use an SPF (which you should use out in the sun anyway).

I am really excited to start using this device and see the results and I will be sure to keep you updated!

don't forget to like comment and follow, also let me know if you've used any devices similar to this one and how you've got on!

Thanks for reading

Hero Product: La Roche Posay Serozinc

La roche Posay Serozinc: £8.50 for 150ml at boots
 
Now this is a product I know for a fact the beauty world is raving about.
Its from the same brand that gave you the Effaclar duo (review here) and it deserves just as much hype!
until now this has only previously been available in Paris and thank god they decided to bring it out in the UK!

This toner-come-hydrating mist is perfect for the long summer days (and nights). It aims to gently exfoliate and mattify oily skin with out drying it out and boy does it!

hold the bottle 30cm away from the face and close your eyes and spray away, then allow to sink in! It feels refreshing and light, perfect for dull or tight skin.

Since I've been using this product I have really noticed a difference in my skin, its brighter and smoother and more even in pigmentation, so much so that I would not go a morning or night with out using this little beauty!

Its perfect for even the most sensitive of skin as, like most other La Roche Posay products, it hypoallergenic, free of fragrance or perfumes and is also suitable for acne prone skin.

This wonder product is flying off the shelves right now and as its 3for2 mix and match on all skincare at boots, so I highly suggest that if you see this little blue and white beauty elixir in a bottle then snap it up! go on! what's stopping you!?

What products have you tried that you really enjoy from La Roche Posay? or any products you're enjoying in general, let me know in the comments! I'm always on the look out for new beauty buys!
 
Thank for reading!
