Time to detox – gel mask

For the past few days I’ve been reviewing the products from the Elemis’ Try-Enzyme Resurfacing range. Tonight I’d like to conclude with the last, but no means least, product from the range – Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Gel Mask (RRP £45).

This product is a wonderful addition to the range. It helps to smooth the skin and revive dull complexion. I found this product perfectly complementing the range and delivering to its promise. After using the gel mask my skin is smoother to the touch, looks and feels cleaner and matte and any small imperfections are minimised even after one application.

Try-Enzyme Resurfacing Gel Mask - gel texture

After application the gel texture initially creates a cooling sensation on the skin, which quickly changes into a nice tingling sensation. (I like it! However, my hubby wasn't so keen on it!) That doesn’t mean you’re allergic to the product but just the opposite; it means that the product works its wonders. In my case the place where it tingles the most is around my nose, meaning the need for enzymes in that area is greater. 

I usually keep the mask on for 8 minutes, as specified on the packaging; however, sometimes I leave it for a bit longer and I've never had any reaction. I find the gel texture too clingy to remove it with just water so I use towelling mitts but any face towel is perfect for that! Use it twice a week in the first few weeks and as the tingling minimizes with usage then use it once a week.

Note: People with rosacea and very sensitive skin should seek doctors’ advice before using this product as I’ve heard different opinions on the reaction post usage. 

Hope the detox reviews helped you to decide if those products are for you! Let us know by leaving a comment or on twitter @beautyu.

Time to detox – night treatment!

Today I thought I’ll share with you two other products from the Elemis’ Tri-Enzyme range: Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Night Cream (RRP £81.70) and Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Serum (RRP £97.10), which can help to replenish the skin cells during the night time! 

Both of the products complement each other and both of them are VERY expensive! As I can’t really afford to buy them from Elemis directly, I look out for offers from the QVCUK website as it’s a great place to find the whole Elemis products range cheaper!

The serum

The texture of the whole range is gel-like but some products have a thicker texture than others. The serum is very light in texture though and you don’t need to use a lot of it as it easily glides on the skin, so half a pump is more than enough! As this product is very expensive, this way it will last you even longer. I’ve used one whole bottle of the serum (30ml) and I liked the texture and smell; however, I have to admit I haven’t noticed any visible changes in my complexion! 

Before going for the whole 30mls I’d say it’s better to try it in a smaller version (10mls from QVCUK website) to see if this product delivers better results to you! I know people who absolutely love this product so if you are looking for a smoother skin and to get a more even and luminous skin tone give this product a try!

The night cream

The night cream, on the other hand, has a bit thicker gel texture to the serum and facial wash, and smells absolutely lovely – very fresh but subtle. 

It stimulates the skin’s natural cell renewal cycle and replenishes the skin during the night. This products actually delivers to its promises so whenever I run out of my Elemis Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream I always come back to using this night cream! I wake up to a more plumped, smooth and luminous face! The only downside is that I can’t use it around my eyes so a need for additional eye cream is a must in this case! 

I hope you enjoy the ‘detox’ sessions and it gives you some ideas how to get a smoother, plumper and younger looking skin! Let us know if you’d used these products before and what did you think about them!

Stay beautiful!
