Is your skin in need of a little pick-me-up after Christmas? Has all of that over-indulgence left your skin feeling neglected, tired and dull? Well, you have no need to worry because Caudalie has five essential products to revitalise your skin, providing it with an instant boost of radiance and some of them you might well have seen on my blog before!
What I love about this serum is that it not only smells just incredible but it is so lightweight on the skin. It isn't at all heavy and nor is it sticky or tacky to the touch and I love hydrated it makes my skin feel.
Most people will have or should have come across Beauty Elixir (£12) by now. It is Caudalie's hero product and I think this is my 5th or 6th bottle now. Having celebrated its 20th birthday just last year, the Beauty Elixir is paraben free, Vegan and 100% natural.
Once spritzed this Elixir fills the air with notes of benzoin, myrrh, orange, blossom, grape and rose, all of which work to give your complexion a rosy glow. Add to that astringent rosemary and the stimulating essence of lemon balm and mint and the scent is really quite incredible and it is of course really gentle on the skin. The ingredients coming together to smooths away fine lines tightens pores and gives the complexion an instant boost of radiance, helps calm redness and not forgetting that this product can also be used to set makeup! Quite the multi-tasker in one bottle and one of my other favourite ways to use this Elixir is to moisturise my beauty blenders.
The third product is the VineActive Overnight Detox Oil (£30 here). Described as being a skincare saviour for the new year, this 100 % natural, the Vine[Activ] Detox Oil helps tired skin regenerate itself overnight. Suitable for all skin types, this formula draws its benefits from grape oil, an ingredient you will see in all of Caudalie's products. Rich in omega 6 and vitamin E, it provides a burst of nutrition and repair. Also included is musk rose oil and essential oils of neroli, lavender, carrot, white sandalwood and petitgrain and as you can imagine, it smells just absolutely incredible.
What I really love about this oil, other than how it leaves my skin feeling, is that it is a dry oil texture which makes it suitable for all skin types and is quickly absorbed with no sticky finish left on the skin.
Everyone should have an eye cream within their skincare routine and if you are still looking for your favourite, then Premier Cru The Eye Cream (£49 here) is well worth trying. I like my eye creams to be fragrance-free where possible and lightweight, so with Caudalie, both of those boxes are ticked.
Using a combination of Caudalie patents - Resveratrol, Viniferine and Polyphenois, they all come together and work to reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles to reveal hydrated, radiant and firmer looking skin. Suitable for sensitive eyes, what really impressed me about this eye cream is how easy it does absorb into the skin and as it does so, there is a notable difference, especially in those dark circles.
The final product is the Instant Detox Mask (£22 here) and for me, a face mask is an absolute must, at least once a week. This mask purifies and detoxifies tired looking skin. The formula is 99.3% natural pink clay and uses coffee to purge pores of blackhead-causing dirt and excess oil. Papaya enzymes which brighten and invigorate, as well as grape marc which exhibits powerful detoxifying properties.
What this mask does is work to draw out impurities and toxins to refine the skin's texture, tighten pores and leave your complexion looking even. On the skin, it doesn't irritate like some clay masks do to my skin, instead, it feels smooth. Designed to be used twice a week, you need just a thin layer to cover the face and it is to be left on between 5-10 minutes and once it has been removed, you complete your skincare routine.
So here you have five essential products from Caudalie which can be used together to create one amazing skincare routine to revive lacklustre tired looking skin and to give it some TLC.
