First of all, who is De Mamiel? 

Keep reading if you have yet to hear of the skin health specialist Annee de Mamiel and her collection of naturally formulated products. Inspired by science and the impact stress has on the skin, the De Mamiel skincare brand combines Chinese Medicine, Aromatherapy, and Aesthetician knowledge to create a holistic approach to skincare. The collection of anti-stress products restores total balance. The products are made by hand and are independently sourced from farms in Australia, South Africa, and Morocco—a genuine luxury artisan beauty brand.

What's Inside The January Heroes Box?

Starting the ear on a high note, inside the box are two full-size products worth $240. Let's take a closer look:

De Mamiel First Fix Stress Response Serum(30 ml | $216)

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

It took 13 years of research to create the perfect anti-stress serum. Hidden inside the essence-like serum is a highly concentrated formula of Neurophroline, the extract of wild indigo explicitly targets the causes and effects of stress on the skin. Furthermore, Prebiotics and Sea Buckthorn also help strengthen the skin's natural barrier, while hyaluronic acid, squalene, prickly pear, cacay, and pomegranate increase the skin's hydration. 

Over time, the serum reduces the effects Cortisol has on our skin. The First Fix stress response serum is the best rescue treatment for every skin type that needs a helping hand.

De Mamiel Multi-Active Hydramist (20 ml | $24)

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

Restoring hydration to your stressed or tired skin can seem impossible, but that's where the multi-active hydramist steps in. Quick and straightforward to use, the lightweight mist holds multi-molecular weight hyaluronic and polyglucoronic acids. What does this mean? It means the hyaluronic acid will penetrate your skin deeper and have an all-round hydrating action. You can also find Wild Rosella, which immediately hydrates and restores the skin's microbiome. While Ectoin and Rock Rose help reduce redness. You can add the hydramist to any skincare routine, and it is an everyday shield and antioxidant support.

How Does Stress (Cortisol) Affect Our Skin?

Like everything within the body, Cortisol is an excellent and valuable hormone when used in balance. When we have a regular or high amount of stress, it can modify our skin condition and is often at the heart of most skin problems (eczema, psoriasis, acne, etc). The stress hormone can cause accelerated aging, leaving you looking run down and tired. The most common symptoms are redness, increased sensitivity, sagging, dryness, and dullness.

My Review

To start 2024 in the best way possible, and after working hard this past year. I treated myself to this anti-stress treatment. The textures and how soft these products leave my skin are amazing. I saw rapid results in brightness and evenness, and I would 100% recommend this to those going through a rough patch. Above all, I love that the products are handmade and authentic. 

I enjoyed last month's discovery box featuring Blüh Alchemy body care products. (review here) They are a must-have for winter skin care.

What's inside the October Beauty Heroes box?

1. Blissoma Fresh Mild Rice Facial Cleanser

The creamy and conditioning rice facial cleanser suits every skin type and helps reduce signs of dryness, oiliness, congestion, and flaking.

Perfect to cleanse your skin of a day and night time. The energizing citrus aroma is more than addictive! 

Inside the silky formula lies a blend of organic oils and brown rice flour. Working together in harmony. Both actives capture and lift impurities present on the skin's surface. Along with its cleansing talents, this facial cleanser restores balance to the Ph, boosting protection levels.

2. Blissoma Lavish Loving Recovery Mask

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

The Lavish face mask is a dream for dry or sensitive skin types. Its thick and rich texture envelops the skin with 18 active ingredients. The face mask was created to treat skin-released skin conditions such as sensitivity, Reactivity, Dryness, or Irritation. The creamy mask comprises liquid herb extracts and oils that deeply hydrate the skin.

To do so, Blissoma has included Beta-glucans (sugars from oats and mushrooms) to improve the product's penetration. Infusing the skin with these actives instantly reduces the appearance of redness and inflammation and improves moisture retention. 

Pssst: Did you know you can apply it to your hair as a conditioning mask?

3. Blissoma Peace Evening Calming Elixir

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

The calming elixir infuses your skin with up to 22 active ingredients to end your day blissfully. Suitable for all skin types, the elixir is 100% natural and a botanical recipe containing vital minerals & antioxidants.

The elixir gives your skin an extra boost to restore itself overnight. The formula uses a unique blend of organic herbs freshly extracted to prevent moisture loss and detoxify the skin. The texture is breathable and has lovely honey-like notes to it. It's the perfect way to wind down after a day out.

My Review

After trying all three products in a sample, I was honestly taken aback by how gentle and relieving they are on the skin. I suffer from dry patches during the colder seasons, and this is definitely the perfect routine for fall or winter. The products have beautiful textures and smell divine! I recommend these products for those who suffer from discomfort or dryness regularly. I tried the mask on my hair, and my lengths loved it! A clean and responsible way to get your skin back on track.
