[sponsoredcontent] It’s tricky to find products that feel like they’re for you without a spotlight focus on ‘turning back’ the ageing clock. Of course, we all want the best version of ourselves but a more open attitude about what beauty actually is can be the most refreshing way to travel through your skin ageing journey.

Skinician has hit the nail on the head with their philosophy that less can be more. We’ve all fallen for the ‘magic formula’ products that cost a fortune and promise so much and we’ve all done the more-must-be-more approach but the reality is that finding one correct thing for your skin will be more rewarding than any multitude of things that aren’t quite right. I don’t know how the luxury market is going to perform over the next months but I do know that many of us are looking at ways to reduce our beauty spend without compromising on performance.

Skinician is already a well-known and well-loved brand in Ireland making its debut here now. Founded by mother and daughter, Hilary and Shelley, the concept is to deliver skin care with meaningful actives (90% naturally derived) that deliver what you need them to in a more budget conscious and age respectful way. The first product I tried from the Skinician range was the Revitalizing Day Cream SPF30 HERE and my first question to Shelley was ‘why doesn’t it feel like an SPF cream?’ The answer is that it uses encapsulated SPF with Beta Glucans (moisture grabbing humectants) and I can honestly say that the moisture lasted all day.

I’m not often tempted by a foaming cleanser but Advanced Pro-Radiance Enzyme Cleanser HERE is next level for skin that feels and/or looks less radiant that you’d like it to be. Ditto the Advanced Pro-Radiance Enzyme Peel HERE – a pick-me-up fruit acid mask that leaves your skin with a post-facial feel. There’s a huge amount of attention to detail in the formulas with, I’d say, advanced efficacy, that makes Skinician stand out from the crowd.

Skinician began life as a professional brand for salon use but easily translates so you can be your own beauty therapist. A set (HERE, and some good limited offers) is a good place to start because the brand is not about selling you as much as they can, the ethos is that you have the right things to feel confident that you’re nurturing your skin in the best way.

The brand even offers try-me sets for £5 so you can dip in without laying out. With that in mind, Skinician is offering the first 100* BBB readers to respond HERE a try-me set (6 choices) and they’ll pay the postage to UK and Ireland. The offer will be monitored at the brand end so once the they’re gone, they’ve gone. However, there’s also a £5 off (over £15 spend) across the Skincian website for everyone using code BRITBEAUTYBLOG. It’s one offer per customer and is live until 21/11/22. Please do let me know if you receive a try-me and how you get along with the products.
