As a brand, Elemis is not one I have featured on this blog unless it has been within an Advent Calendar or Beauty Box which I was quite shocked by, but I am now about to put that right with the Peptide Plumping Pillow Facial which I have been using for the past few months after being given it at a blogger event.
I love a good night cream, serum, gel and so on, it is for me the best form of skincare because essentially it is lazy skincare, something that works for you as you sleep and what's more, it is usually pretty good too! At night your body temperature tends to rise as it goes into repair and recovery mode. As a result, your skin loses hydration while you sleep. This overnight mask helps seal in hydrating actives, so your skin is softer and plumped with moisture in the morning.
Wake up to skin that looks radiant and rested with the Peptide4 Plumping Pillow Facial from the luxury body and skincare brand, Elemis. Referred to as an all‐in‐one ‘facial in a jar’ that works overnight when skin is most receptive to repair, this night cream helps to restore radiance to overworked and tired skin and delivers a cooling effect when your body’s temperature rises during sleep, preventing moisture loss.
Ideal for all skin types, this Peptide4 Plumping Pillow Facial is an absolute luxury to apply, as it glides onto the skin, it creates what is referred too as a biometric veil which locks in vital moisture and to do that it uses some key ingredients which include:
- Star Arvensis™ and wild-harvested Indian Night Jasmine work overnight to help leave thirsty skin looking rehydrated and refreshed.
- Peptide4 helps to balance and support the skins barrier function encouraging the skin's natural processes, for a radiant complexion by morning.
- Night Scented Stock, Ylang Ylang and Sweet Orange help soothe the senses.
Once on the skin, this gel is so lightweight it really does feel as though there is nothing there on your skin, other than the coolness of the gel. To use, it is said that after moisturising in an evening, you only need a pea-sized amount of this product to be applied to the face and the advice is to apply it using upward strokes, then leave it to work its magic as you sleep and wash off any residue in the morning.
I absolutely love how hydrated my skin feels after using this and I am currently using it when my skin is feeling really dry or dehydrated, rather than every single night and the difference is amazing. It costs £49.50 for 50ml via Lookfantastic.
