Keep your skin hydrated in the summer heat

There are four skincare products that I can not live without, especially in this heat. All are products are  from Biotherm.

Skin needs water as much as the body does, but the skin is the last place water is given too when you drink water, and no matter how much you drink either, it always goes to your organs first.

One way of giving your skin the water it needs is though your skincare products and for one brand, water is the heart of its skincare.

Now you know I have written about Biotherm many times before, with reviews on the Skin Ergetic and the Blue Therapy range.  If you would like to know more about the company history visit the Biotherm Website.

The four products I use on a daily basis are;

• The Blue Therapy Serum
• Aquasource Normal/Combination Moisturiser
• UV Supra D-Tox SPF 50 
• Aquasource Nuit

The Serum, Moisturiser and Nuit are good for all year round. The White Detox SPF 50 I use in the summer periods.

So why do I love these products so much?

You may have already read about the Blue Therapy Serum review, and so this is a great product to use to keep the damage of the UVA and UVB's at bay in the summer time, as well as a good anti ageing serum to firm and give radiance to your skin.

 The Aquasource moisturiser is a very light weight and refreshing cream/gel and within it, it has the equivalent of 5000 litres of the thermal plankton cellular water, which is the spring water that Biotherm obtains its unique ingredient from - Thermal Plankton. Unlike most moisturisers, the Aquasource keeps you hydrated for 24hours. My skin always looks plump, radiant and constantly hydrated when using this moisturiser. The best bit is you do not need a lot of it to go a long way either. I use a 20p size amount on my face and neck. A 50ml pot definitely gets you a good 6 month worth of usage too and for just £28 I find that very reasonable. More information on the Aquasource Moisturiser can be found here

For the summer months, I wouldn't leave my door without putting on my sun block, UV Supra D-tox SPF 50, on my face. Like a lot of us, there are have been many years where I have forgotten to put my sun cream on my face. Yes I have natural freckles but I have notice I have a few more at recent times, than those I was born with. This is sun damage ( which the blue therapy will help but you also need to wear a sun cream/block to help protect too ) and since working in skincare, I have become more aware of the damages the sun can do to your body.
What I most like about this product though, is that it is still very light weight and not sticky as you would expect from a spf 50 or sun block. This can be used a primer under makeup as well and even applied on to of makeup if need to re-apply during the day. Price is £19.50 for a 30ml.

For the evening, and I use this all year round as I totally love this product for night time, is the Aquasource Nuit. As part of the Aquasource range, you instantly know it is going to feed your skin with the water and mineral nutrients it needs. The blue gel which as it touches the skin turns in a liquid/oil like texture, boosts your skin though the night with moisture. results is you wake up to fresh looking, luminous skin which feels more elastic and radiant, as if reawakened. I call this a facial in a bottle. It is suitable for all skin types too and just like the moisturiser you don't need alot. One pump is enough to do your whole face. Price is £28 for a 50ml and again, I get a good 6 month use out this bottle.

Biotherm's Blue Therapy Eye

Previously I wrote about Biotherm's Blue Therapy Serum, and I am so happy the expertise of this amazing formula has been brought to the eye zone. ( see Blue Therapy Serum post here -Blue Therapy Serum Post)

Blue Therapy Eye combines the aquatic -orgin of trio ( Extracts of Pure Thermal Plankton, Macro-Algae L.Ochroleuca and Micro-Algae A.Flos-aquae. with a blend of four ultra perfromant eye association, Flavonoid, Amino acid and 2 Peptides.
Together this fantastic formula helps reduce the appearance of dark circles by favouring the elimination of pigments, darkness is visibly faded, skin looks more plumped, smoother and more radiant and signs of ageing are also visibly repaired.

The texture of the formula is amazing too. It looks like a rich cream, but as you put it on your fingers, it melts like water on to the skin, and is incredibly light weight. Which is a trade mark for biotherm as you will find majority of their advanced skincare is incredibly light weight but very powerful.

Blue Therapy Eye, is more than just an ordinary eye cream, it is applied to the extended eye contour too. Applying it on the upper cheeks, the middle of your forehead ( the bit between your eyebrows ) and the side of each of eye.
A simple application technique is used to help target wrinkles, firmness and darkness by a 3 step application ritual;
3-step application ritual :
1. WRINKLE ACTION: “waves movement” - palpate-roll on wrinkles to smooth
2. DARK SPOT ACTION: “bubble movement” - pinch dark spot to reboost micro-circulation
3. FIRMING ACTION: “crab movement” - circular movement to replump the skin.

 I have used this for 5 days now, and already i have seen my eye area smoother, more radiant and brighter. I don't suffer from bags but i have the typical shadow as i call it, under the eye area ( where the eye area is thinner than the face, the appearance of the blood vessels can appear though ), the appearance of this has been a big improvement!

Blue Therapy eye is available instore now, 15ml size pot RRP £32.
