The Secret to Youth- Youthology Collagen

the secret to youth – youthology collagen

There I sat, looking into the mirror thinking, “How did you age so quickly?” Apart from a great skincare regime, mother nature and stress has deepened my fine lines to actual crevasse’s. Looking for every option under the sun, I think I may have found the secret to youth- Youthology Collagen.

I thought I would document the appearance of my skin before starting with the Collagen. Brace yourselves for extreme close-ups of my face.

It’s no secret that collagen has hit the beauty world by storm. Who doesn’t want beautiful glowing skin at the age or 30+? So I think it’s safe to say that almost everyone has tried some sort of collagen supplement. Me included. I was delighted to learn about another brand, Youthology, and was eager to put the product to the test.

Youthology Contains Type I, II and III Collagen

Type I and lll collagen is found throughout the human body: it makes up more than 90% of organic bone mass. As well as comprising a major part of our skin, tendons and ligaments.

Youthology Pure Collagen Powder consists of specialised collagen peptides Type I and II – important components for supporting healthy skin. Administered orally, it influences the skin’s collagen metabolism directly from the inside.

These specialised peptides in YOUTHOLOGY COLLAGEN POWDER increase collagen metabolism to counter-balance collagen degradation in the dermis.

Supplementation of YOUTHOLOGY PURE COLLAGEN POWDER counteracts skin aging and improves the visual skin appearance.

this collagen is different

Youthology’s unique formulation includes further powerful anti aging ingredients : Hyaluronic Acid with its amazing ability to retain water. It effectively increases moisture and lubrication in skin and joints. Chondroitin Sulphate an important building block of cartilage, can prevent the degradation of joints.

the claim

Containing specialised bioactive collagen peptides, types l, ll & lll, which are clinically proven to:

Significantly reduce wrinkles by up to 50% after 4 weeks.
Increase collagen in the skin by 60% with continued use.
Increase skin elasticity by 30%.
Improve growth and condition of nails and hair.
Improve gut health.
Increase lean muscle mass while decreasing fat mass.
Significantly decrease cellulite in 3‑6 months.
Improve joint mobility and reduce pain and inflammation within 3 days.

the result

This collagen is odourless and tasteless which is great because you can add it to just about anything. I add mine to my Chai Latte Teas and smoothies. I have been receiving tons of compliments from my family about how my skin is looking so it’s definitely improved my skin in a great way! Some may think it’s a gimmick, but I truly believe collagen does help supplement the body.

If you’d like to give YOUTHOLOGY a go you can use my code LITTLEGURUYOUTH15 to save. Expect some incredibly speedy service and an impeccable online shopping experience. These guys are top notch.

Are you ready to discover the secret to youth with Youthology?

Litchi & Titch Review : Plant-Based Skincare

Litchi & Titch Review : Plant-Based Skincare

For those not familiar with the brand, Litchi & Titch pride themselves on their ‘all natural’ tagline. Developed using oils and extracts from plants, seeds, fruits and flowers. No chemicals, fragrance oils or toxic ingredients are found in any of their products.

The brand is all about creating authentic body and skin care, which is as indulgent, as it is effective. So here is the Litchi & Titch Review : Plant-Based Skincare.

Plant-based skincare products can deliver excellent results, thanks partly to the fact that their active ingredients are found in nature.

The Skincare Range in Review

Nourishing Body Oil Lime & Coconut- R375

I can’t resist a body oil, and this one did not disappoint. Absolutely love the all-natural scent of coconut with a hint of Lime. Applying body oils onto damp skin (they absorb better) are great and found this one to be very hydrating. The key oils include Baobab, pawpaw & sweet almond. I also like that it can double up as a bath oil. This is a real bliss-inducing oil that is a treat to use.

Rose Water Face Mist- R160

A beautifully hydrating and uplifting fine mist spray, that can be used on your face as well as on your linen. Because of the inclusion of Colloidal Silver in this product, the Rose Mist is also soothing and gentle, healing skin inflammations. It too assists with skin tone and is a fabulous ‘pick-me-up’ on a low day.

Mini Skincare Hydration Set -R890

If anyone knows me well enough, they will know that I go absolutely nuts for MINI’s! I adore mini’s as its ideal for people wanting to sample products from the range. What better way to see skin benefits than to experience the perfect selection of products – together from the start!

It’s delightful, very generous for a mini and so incredible on the skin. So much so that I purchased a full sized foamer and body wash.

Each MINI’s Set contains the following products:

50ml Foaming Cleanser- Buy here

50mml Cleansing Oil- Buy here

30ml Exfoliator- Buy here

30ml Day Cream – Buy here

10ml Serum- Buy here

Thoroughly enjoyed everything single product in this range and cannot rave about it enough. My absolute favourites from the mini set is the cleansing oil and foam cleanser. I’m very into cleansing oils and balms as they are fabulous at removing long wearing makeup effectively, without drying the skin. This one contains a blend of plant and fruit oils that bind ‘dirt’, make-up and excess sebum on the surface of the skin, effectively cleaning away impurities.

Why We Love It + DISCOUNT CODE

Quite simply, it’s PURE, CLEAN SKINCARE . Litchi & Titch focuses on Skin Need as opposed to Skin Type which to me, is a unique way to look at skincare. I am SO for it and VERY impressed by this skincare brand.

Use discount code MYGIFT – 20% discount valid until the end of March.

SKINFRÉSH- Organic Skincare

Do you love organic, cruelty-free skincare products? Let me introduce you to SKINFRÉSH -Organic Skincare

Skinfrésh is a South African face and body care range. Skinfrésh products are organic, cruelty-free, vegan and all products are plant-based and free from harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and colourants. The range is formulated for all skin types and ages. Skinfrésh believes that it’s all about skin health. And healthy skin = beautiful skin.

All the formulations are carefully put together taking all the properties of each oil, butter, and essential oil into consideration to treat your skin no matter your age or need.

I received some gorgeous products that I simply cannot wait to share with you!

The Goodies

Talk about eye-catching- WOW. Although it’s not like your ordinary basic, neutral skincare packing, the SKINFRÉSH brand is bright and bold and simply beautiful, just like it’s contents.

We trialed the Balancing Facial Mist, Face Cream, Detoxifying Mud Mask, Exfoliationg Clay Cleanser & The Brightening Face Oil.

Organic Love

Starting with the skincare regime-

Exfoliating Clay Cleanser
Detox Mud Mask
Balancing Facial Mist
Morning Face Cream
Brightening Face Oil

There are so many other ways you can use these products!

Organic Ingredients- Highlighting my favorites

Face & Eye Oil is extremely hydrating with brightening properties. Using a good facial oil on acne-prone skin can be life-changing. The reason for this is.. a pimple is basically dead skin cells and oils (sebum) mixed together that clogs pores. I experienced absolutely no breakouts!

Ask yourself this, does oil and water (water-based product) mix? No it does not. Do oil and oil mix? Yes, it does. So, by applying the facial oil will ensure that the oil mixes into the clogged pores withdrawing and cleaning out impurities.

Why we love it

Jojoba oil mimics skin sebum tricking it not to overproduce oil. This balances oil production in the skin.
Treats dryness, skin inflammation, dark spots, and scars.
Anti-Aging, Anti-Bacterial Anti-Wrinkle
Softens and smooths the skin.
Helps inhibit melanin pigmentation.
Evens out skin tone and texture.
Skin Brightening properties thanks to citrus oils.
Anti-Oxidant
Extremely hydrating

This oil is known for the use of ancient Japanese and Chinese women. (Korean beauty vibes? – I’m in!) Rich in essential fatty acids, trace elements, vitamin E, and mineral salts, rice bran oil helps moisturize the skin and promotes skin microcirculation. Rice bran oil has healing, restructuring, soothing, cicatrizing, repairing (reduces skin inflammation), and decongesting properties.

Why we love it

It deeply hydrates for soft smooth skin. Enriched with nutrients to protect skin and feed skin cells.

Balancing Facial Mist (Toner). This is high astringent. Soothes tones and hydrates. Balances PH in the skin. Properties of active ingredients:
It balances skin’s natural oils.

Mud Mask with Bentonite & Kaolin Clay

This mask is clay-based (Bentonite and kaolin mixed) which makes a creamy mask. This will absorb all oiliness from the skin and withdraw impurities.
Properties of active Ingredients:
Clays to withdraw impurities from the skin.
Absorbs overproduced sebum (Oils) and regulates sebum production
Cleans pores deeply
Anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory properties.
Great for hydrating dry skin due to active oils
Protect your skin from breaking out.
Oxidizes Skin cells

Why we love it

I was quite nervous trying this Clay mask as I had such a bad experience in the past. But I tried it and I loved it! This formula is super gentle on the skin and truly gives it a deep clean. This combined with the exfoliating mud, in the shower is magic!

Our Review

If you are looking for an at-home spa-like skin treatment then Skinfrésh is it. Sensitive skin gals need not worry, as the products are super gentle on your skin with no irritation. I was excited to learn that all these products can be used in different ways. Like using your facial oil as a makeup remover. Or by mixing all the above products, you can create an intense hydrating mask. I think that’s what I like most about this brand. Products that are so versatile! It makes you feel like it’s worth every penny spent.

All in all, SUPER impressed by these products and can’t express enough of how spa-like quality the products hold. It’s simply beautiful. xx

Hada Labo Tokyo Skincare Is Here!

We have a special announcement… Hada Labo Tokyo Skincare is here! Ever heard of them before? Well, that’s about to change because I’m about to introduce you to a skincare product that is going to blow your mind!

Hada Labo= Skin Lab

Hada is Japanese for Skin and Labo means Laboratory. Created in 2004, their concept was simple. Highly effective skincare with no unwanted ingredients.

The Good Stuff

Super Hyaluronic Acid. The latest generation in skincare trademarked in Japanese Labs in Kyoto. What’s unique about the Hada Labo Range is that it has a combination of three types of hyaluronic acid. The powerhouse acid being HA+, Micro HA, Macro HA. These three acids have the ability to moisturize the skin on different levels.

Why Hyaluronic Acid?

HA is a substance that naturally occurs in the human body that attracts and binds water. It’s capable of holding 1000 times its own weight in water. As we get older and constant sun exposure, our skin cells produce less HA. With our skin’s reduced ability to obtain HA, those fine lines and wrinkles appear at a quicker rate. When HA is used in skincare products, it boosts moisture levels and helps skin stay plump and hydrated.

Super Hydrating Lotion

This fragrance-free lotion is like a drink of water for your skin. Known as the multi-layer lotion as it combines three types of Hyaluronic Acid to rehydrate the skin. The Japanese originators introduced this lotion as a new hydration step which is said to be applied after cleansing and before moisturizing. Cleanse. Hydrate. Moisturise.

Why Use a Hydrator?

A hydrator, also known as an essence, has a water-like consistency which is lighter than creams and lotions. Hydrators are so beneficial for all skin types as they are designed to prep the skin or deeper moisturisation from your lotions. With regular use, layering an essence or hydrator can delay visible signs of ageing.

Importance of Layering

K-Beauty & Japanese skin gurus are big on layering yours products. Layering is applying the right products in the right order. By layering your products in the correct sequence, it can improve your skin’s appearance in a short time.

Begin with products that are applied all over the face first, starting with the lightest weight product. Then build upon
each layer using an all-over face cream, followed by products that target smaller, specific areas of concern (wrinkles, crow’s feet). Always end with applying a broad spectrum SPF 30 face lotion to protect the skin from premature ageing and help prevent skin cancer.

Our Review

As someone who is obsessed with Japanese and Korean Beauty, you can read more here and here, I was beyond excited to be part of the Hada Labo Campaign.

The Super Hydrating Lotion is PHENOMENAL. Plain and simple. There are no other words to describe it. They had me at Hyaluronic Acid. For me, it’s the powerhouse ingredient that will keep my skin looking young and radiant. Isn’t it, after all, what we long for in the end. Youthful, glowing skin?

Rated #1 skincare line in Japan and for good reason. It is a result-driven product that is great for sensitive skin, fragrance-free, and cruelty-free. If you ask me, it really doesn’t get better than this.

Will I be integrating this into my current skincare regime, OH YES! I will definitely be trying out the other products too!

Beauty Studio Collection By Isabella Garcia

If there is a skincare product that you need to try, it has to be from the Beauty Studio Collection By Isabella Garcia. It. Is. Sensational! Read on and ill tell you why.

The “It”, for me, is the InstaExpert Charcoal Mask. It came along with an InstaMagic 3-in-1 Cleansing Cloth and the InstaCover 2-in-1 Brush.

This Is No Ordinary Mask

The invigorating InstaExpert Charcoal Mask is the ultimate specialist in skin rejuvenation. Purifying Charcoal Powder, Licourice Root Extracts and Zinc Lactate will help clarify the skin. Gently drawing out impurities and helping to decrease the visible signs of ageing. For a 30-something this is a win!

The unique inclusion of two Hydroxy Acids will help shed dead skin. While essential oils- Peppermint and Eucalyptus- as well as Vitamin B3 will leave your skin feeling fresher and smoother.

The packaging. Oh, the packaging!! It’s such luxe packaging and here’s why. The pump is designed to distribute the perfect amount needed for your face and the air-tight packaging ensures no wastage at all. It’s perfection!

The Perfect Tools

The InstaMagic Cleansing Cloth really is magic! Did you know that microfibre can absorb up to 7 times it’s weight? This remarkable cleansing cloth will instantly erase make-up and product residue. What’s magical is that it gently exfoliates and clears clogged pores of dirt and impurities.

For effortless application the ultra-soft InstaCover Brush does just that! Expertly designed, full-bodies and professionally shaped, precise application and coverage is what you can expect! It makes a pretty good make up brush too.

Our Thoughts

I absolutely love this mask! For a sensitive skin gal, it is incredibly gentle on my skin with no irritation at all. I have been using it twice a week and my skin is feeling so beautiful! Because of the great formula, it’s a product that can easily be incorporated into your night time routine. Isabella Garcia has truly delivered a product that shows beautiful results.

The Secret is Finally Out! | FUNDAMENTALS SKINCARE is here!

The Secret is Finally Out! | FUNDAMENTALS SKINCARE is here! A new skincare brand called Fundamentals Skincare has launched in South Africa and I was lucky enough to be one of the first to try it!

It’s all about giving your skin the essentials it needs for good health. Quality does not lie in the price tag, but rather in the fundamentals of the product. Fundamentals Skincare has done just that. They provide the right skincare at the right price!
Fundamentals understand that your skin is your masterpiece, your portrait of life and they want you to #faceyourskin by incorporating the fundamentals into your skincare vanity, allowing you to consistently care for your skin.

Not only is quality at its core, but so is skincare education. The trick to effective skincare is knowing what type of skin you have and then using the correct products, with the correct ingredients and formulations to accurately treat your skin concerns. When visiting the Fundamentals Skincare website you will have access to a skincare questionnaire that is basically a skin type calculator that is enabled to suggest tailor-made suggestions for you based on your personal skin care needs. Allowing you to build your perfect custom skin care routine.

Why we Love

All the products are fragrance-free. Fragrances can cause skin irritation so they made sure to avoid those
Vegan Friendly: vegan skin care formulas do not make use of any animal derivatives- YAY!
Cruelty-Free: because no animals should be harmed for the purpose of beauty.
Cosmeceutical grade: active ingredients are able to penetrate into the epidermis.
Made in South Africa. Need we say more?

What We Tried

Alpha Arbutin Water Serum- A stunning water serum that is packed with Alpha Arbutin, Niacinamide & Hyaluronic. A stunning combination to target dark spots and uneven skin tone.

Raspberry Extract Moisturiser –A beautiful light moisturizer containing Raspberry Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, and Squalane, which are all amazing ingredients and in my opinion, ingredients you want in your moisturizer.

What We Loved

I found the moisturizer to be super moisturizing, but not too overpowering that it left my skin oily after long use. Fast-absorbing and lightweight formula that can be used on a daily. With a slight hint of raspberry, the scent leaves your skin feeling quite fresh. Sensitive Skin gals do not need to worry as it didn’t leave my skin irritated at all!

The Serum is just as incredible. I have yet to see the results of my dark marks vanishing, pigmentation can never really go away, but I did love how dewy it made my skin.

Would We Try More?

Absolutely! I have really been enjoying the products thus far and I cannot wait to get my hands on some other products to try.

Side Note: Kudos to the Fundamentals Skincare team for the Layering section on the outer packaging. A nice way to showcase how to properly layer your products for effective results.

Instant Fresh Hair with Batiste Dry Shampoo

I don’t believe that there is a hair-conscious individual who is unfamiliar with the concept of dry shampoo. It’s a staple in any woman’s beauty cabinet for instant fresh hair. And if it’s not, I’m about to make your life ten times easier. A new beginning to instant fresh hair with Batiste Dry Shampoo.

What is Dry Shampoo?

Dry shampoo is essentially an oil-absorbing powder. This means you can use anything from baby powder to a high-end powdered dry shampoo. These sprays soak up the grease in your hair while adding volume.

Who’s Batiste?

For over thirty years Batiste has been the UK’s number one dry shampoo brand. Their tried and tested formula offers consumers an easy solution to grease-free hair. By targeting excess oils, Batiste’s dry shampoos eliminate that stringy look from the roots. Meaning that hair looks fresh without any water.

The “no water needed” shampooing technique has been perfected by Batiste. The unique brand has different options to tailor for your own individual crown.

Benefits of Dry Shampoo

The biggest benefit of dry shampoo is not necessarily health-related at all. Dry shampooing is flat-out convenient! It makes life easier when you don’t need to wash your hair regularly. I know it sounds gross, but we’ve all been there. You get home at midnight and its wash-day but you’re just too tired. You swear you’ll wake up early and shower in the morning but that doesn’t happen either. Enter stage right: your favorite Batiste Dry Shampoo to the rescue.

It should come as no surprise that washing your hair daily is a no-no for your hair health. It strips away your natural oils that keep your hair moisturized. If you’re reading this and nervously gulping, then don’t worry. This is once again where your Powder in Shining Packaging steps in, just skip a wash and use a dry shampoo instead! Skipping a wash is also a great way to prolong the life of colored hair since dyes fade with water contact.

Why We Love Batiste

As a result of less hair washing, dry shampoo can also lead to a reduction in hair damage. If you’re not washing your hair every day you’re using fewer chemicals and products on your hair. Using a dry shampoo can mean you end up styling your hair less regularly – it’s more of an up keep than an up-do at this point. If anything, it can be doubled as a styling product. So say hello to Instant fresh hair with Batiste dry shampoo!

Try It!

With 4 beautiful dry shampoos to choose from, you can conveniently salvage your hair every once in a while, with Batiste Dry Shampoo. Available at Dischem Pharmacies and Clicks

Skin Functional Oil Based Vitamin C

Skin Functional, an affordable South African skincare brand that has come into my life, stolen my heart, and enriched my skin. I introduced you to them almost a year ago and I was so impressed by the performance and results of their serums, that I swapped my personal skin care products and use only the Skin Functional, and let me say, my skin has never looked better. Skin Functional has done it again! A product that I have been wishing for them to introduce to the brand and the time has finally come… Introducing Skin Functional Oil-based Vitamin C.

Why the Vitamin C Hype?

Vitamin C serums are legendary for a reason: They really work. Uneven skin tone, rough texture, fine lines, acne scars, general dullness — you can name just about any common complexion concern and there’s a good chance that vitamin C is a recommended treatment.

What is Vitamin C?

As far as your skin is concerned, vitamin C is “a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals,” explains dermatologist Patricia Wexler. “Because of its antioxidant properties, vitamin C aids in your skin’s natural regeneration process, which helps your body repair damaged skin cells.”
So, in the same way that consuming antioxidant-rich foods aids your body in fighting off free radicals, topical antioxidants do the same for your skin. Keeping skin cells healthy.

Why SF’s Vitamin C Formula is special

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate: A Stable & Effective Form of Vitamin C

It’s a mouthful, I know, but it’s also the absolute best type of vitamin C. Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (TA) is stable and lipid-soluble. TA is also less irritating than ascorbic acid, so it’s especially ideal for sensitive skin types. (YAY for us sensitive babies). Because it’s lipid-soluble, TA works well with skin and is able to visibly brighten and reduce the visible signs of aging. TA won’t degrade as quickly as other types of vitamin C. It can last up to 18 months in the bottle, in fact. This stability is crucial if you want to make sure your skincare product can really be effective in the long run.

Our Views

SF can do no wrong in my eyes. The Vitamin C Serum has exceeded my expectations. The formula is incredible and fast-absorbing on my skin. The science behind it proves that SF delivers astonishing products for noticeable results!
Bravo Skin Functional Team- this one is a winner!

Have you heard about the Daily Moisturiser by SF? It’s too one of my favourites from the brand, you can read more about it here.

Have You Heard About Burt’s Bees?

Have you heard about Burt’s Bees? An incredible story about how 2 people left their city-loving lives and moved to a remote pristine wilderness raising bees.

Burt Shavitz and Roxanne Quimby created Burt’s Bees in the early 1980s. In their former lives, Burt worked as a photojournalist in Manhattan, and Roxanne was an artist living in San Francisco. Each left behind the harried pace of city life to seek freedom in the remote, pristine wilderness of Maine.

They valued the simple life and knew the importance and personal worth of staying connected to nature. Their lifestyle was low-impact, and socially and environmentally conscious. As back-to-basics, D-I-Y types, they were ahead of their time—their approach is as compelling now as ever.

Roxanne used to say that since we take from nature, we must respect and preserve it. Today, we follow in her and Burt’s footsteps by using the best ingredients from nature and respecting nature so we can all live well.

I adore a brand that doesn’t test on animals because it’s a brand that is committed to responsible sourcing of ingredients. It has recyclable packaging and respects nature (they are CarbonNeutral certified). Burt’s Bees does it all.

I’m excited to share with you some amazing products that are 100% and made with love.

Burts Bees Products

Burt’s Bees Mango Lip Balm

The brand’s most iconic product, Mango Butter, a naturally nourishing balm that smoothes dry lips.

Tinted Lip Balm R99

This balm coats the lips in a sheer veil of colour combined with 8 hours of intense moisture. The Botanical Waxes in these softly tinted balms are a real treat for parched, dry lips.

Lip Shimmer R99

Shea Butter and antioxidant-rich Fruit Oils moisturize, nourish, and soften lips naturally. A burst of minty freshness is definitely a favourite for me.

Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream R125

As someone who rarely used cuticle oil, this balm is everything! I love this nourishing, healing balm that also has a fresh lemon scent. The formula works to nourish dry, brittle nails as it moisturizes and softens cuticles. Definitely a favourite of the range!

Burt’s Bees is available for purchase online at Takealot & Dischem
