The second step in your skincare routine, the hydrating serum, is a cushion of moisture. Suitable for every skin type, the highly concentrated formula boosts your skin with its energetic composition:

• Pomegranate juice restores moisture levels while detoxing your skin.
• Multi-sized hyaluronic acid captures moisture and plumps the cells, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The key to protected and nourished skin lies within this cream. The fluffy and light texture is a fast-absorbing, simple skincare product. It contains Guava seed oil (rich in fatty acids), vitamins A, C, and E, selenium, and beta-carotene. This daily moisturizing cream is a potent skin brightener, scar eraser, and free radical scavenger. Thus, it is protecting your skin from daily aggressions and repairing existing damage. Your skin grows healthier as the days go by.

My Review

I am excited that the Beauty Heroes have paired up with Free + True! I have previously tried the serum and hydrating cream and instantly loved it. The cream instantly melts into the skin, leaving a silky base for makeup, and the serum brings an instant feeling of comfort. I saw a significant improvement in brightness and my skin's general appearance. Also, I recommend this simple and effective trio if you have little time for complex skin care routines. The products all have beautiful textures and immediately leave my skin glowing and comfortable. 

I look forward to testing the NEW bi-phase toner/ lotion and trying out a bi-phase texture. Free + True skincare products have multiple actions that keep the quantity of products needed to a minimum. Amazing!

Also, check out January's discovery featuring De Mamiel (review here). I am still enjoying it very much.

The Queen of the Night Crème.

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

As the brand's best-selling night-time anti-aging moisturizer, you will feel like the true Queen of the night. The velvety cream delivers the skin with instant and long-lasting comfort while infusing the skin with certified organic, Australia's premium super antioxidant fruit, the Queen Garnet Plum. Working alongside this almighty fruit is a blend of unique actives: Ceramide Complex, plant-based Stem Cells, and naturally occurring antioxidants. All of which deeply hydrate, restore, and repair your skin.

Suitable for all skin types, especially mature.

This treatment has extraordinary age-fighting actions:

• Lifts, plumps, and firms the skin for a smoother appearance.
• Rejuvenates and strengthens collagen production for firmer and more youthful skin.
• Boosts hydration and prevents moisture loss throughout the day.

It is the perfect product to indulge in on an evening. The cream has a soft, floral rose scent that helps relax the mind.

The Age Defiance Eye Serum (full-size).

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

What is better than an anti-wrinkle eye treatment to complete your anti-aging routine? Often overlooked, our eyes greatly influence our general appearance, and this eye serum takes extra good care of them. The serum is lightweight and has a concentrated formula of specific peptides. These peptides were selected for their anti-wrinkle, anti-eye bag, and firming effects. Mukti has added Sea Buckthorn, a superfood and potent antioxidant, alongside the peptides. This active is the key to gaining a youthful gaze and targets fine lines and wrinkles. Did you know it contains 108 bioactives, including Vitamin C, A, B, E, K, and P? 

Apply the serum twice daily, morning and night, to soothe, calm, and hydrate the eye contour. Suitable for all skin types, the Mukti eye serum helps to brighten and hydrate the eye skin while maintaining skin elasticity. Over time, the eye contour appears smoother, and signs of fatigue like puffiness are reduced. One thing I adore about using this serum is Chamomile's sweet, fresh, and calming herbal notes. It is a great way to start and end the day.

The Beauty Heroes discovery box allows you to discover new and old clean beauty brands to find the perfect fit for your skin. You can subscribe to a monthly box if you are a massive fan of beauty. It also makes an excellent gift for a loved one!

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

Don't let the name fool you; this serum means business achieving skin-perfecting results! The flower goo serum uses a sophisticated biotechnology formula rich in botanical actives to resurface and refine the skin overnight. Combined with its unforgettable aroma, the serum instantly improves the mood while boosting the glow and smoothness of the skin.
Inside this lightweight serum lies a double dose of concentrated cell-communicating mountain rose and crocus flower stem cells. Giving the name to the product, these actives are known to reduce water loss and support collagen and elastin production incredibly. Over time, this results in a more substantial skin barrier. The double dose is paired with fermented polypeptides, licorice roots, and hyaluronic acid that work together to reduce hyperpigmentation and brighten, and hydrate the skin.

My Review

After trying LILFOX skincare, their products may be the most indulgent around! I love the texture and scents they added to this serum; it has become one of my favourite times of the day. I saw the results from the first application; my skin looks brighter and smoother. Also, this serum helped to soften my skin and reduce uneven skin tone.

Lilfox – The Succulent Pudding | Oceanic Peptide Super Calm Emulsion

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

It's time to dive into the Oceanic peptide emulsion! Becoming one of the brand's bestsellers instantly after its recent launch, the Succulent Pudding infuses the skin with deep moisture and cell-communicating peptides. Highly concentrated, the light and fluffy emulsion leaves your skin feeling bouncy with a semi-matte look.

Hidden inside its extremely luxurious texture is a list of cutting-edge actives found by the LILFOX chemists.

• The TRPV1 inhibitor from Sea anemone: Using the protein found in the stinging venom and combining it with a bioavailable penta-peptide has proven to reduce sensitivity and soothe skin irritations.
• Marshmallow root and hyaluronic acid help plump the skin cells from the inside out and restore moisture.
• Fermented oats, kombucha, and minerals soothe and resurface the skin.
• Seven adaptogenic succulent extracts help support skin resilience against UV damage.

My Review

I have never seen a cream like it. Everything about the NEW succulent pudding emulsion is perfection, from the silky smooth texture to the deeply moisturizing sensation. My skin has never looked so healthy! I recommend this cream for daily use to keep youthful and hydrated skin.

Also, check out the previous month's discovery here. The neck serum from Inlight Beauty is my current favourite.

Inlight Beauty Neck Firming Serum

Inlight Beauty released this firming and smoothing serum as part of their Summer collection. Made from a powerful botanical complex, the fast-absorbing and lightweight serum helps to prevent and correct signs of aging ( lack of firmness, wrinkles, lines, etc).

The neck firming serum is 100% organic and designed to smooth and tone thinner skin on the neck and decollete. Suitable for all skin types, this neck treatment also fights the harmful effects of blue light on the skin and creasing due to poor posture.

The Neck Firming Serum has below key ingredients:

• CACAY OIL: This natural form of retinol helps fight aging ( vitamin A).
• VITAMIN E & GRAPESEED OIL: Rich in antioxidants, these actives help brighten and protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays.
• BIO LIPOPHILIC MATRIX®: Made from a blend of organic, cold-pressed plant oils. This active energizes the skin cells using a patented technique exclusive to Inligt Beauty. This means the oil's properties are boosted and leave a glorious glow to the skin.

The neck-firming serum is the perfect protection for those often exposed to blue light from screens. Since using this serum, I have noticed that my neck and lower jaw are tighter and firm. The skin looks healthy, and it helps to prevent wrinkles. One of the easiest ways to tell a person's age is by looking at their hands or neck, so taking care of them should not be overlooked. I love this serum's scent; it is fresh and smells of juniper and cypress.

Inlight Beauty Floral Tonic

Instantly refreshing and soothing, this flower-infused water tonic is perfect for finishing your skin cleansing routine. Made from a non-oil base and alcohol-free, the floral tonic suits all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone.

The floral tonic has an uplifting and astringent action on the skin, leaving it cleansed, toned, and ready for the following skincare products. Infused with Roman Chamomile and Rose Damascena, the 100% organic tonic lotion helps rebalance the skin's natural pH levels. Humidify a cotton pad (reusable if possible) with a couple of tonic drops and gently swipe across the face. The tonic lotion can be used daily or is also great for removing face masks.

Floral tonic water is an excellent alternative to typical lotions. Since using this tonic after cleansing my skin, I can see an improvement in my skin texture and comfort. The tonic smells divine and always boosts my mood in the morning. Overall, the lotion works great on all skin types; my family can't get enough of it!

In Quantum Physics, it is said that all matter has its vibrational energy. Inlight Beauty has incorporated this into its designs. On each product, you can discover the alchemic symbol which expresses the product's unique vibrational “dance.”

Above all, working with the highest standards, all their ingredients are ethically sourced and vegan. The brand takes extra care when composing its products, delivering the best experience for you and the planet. This clean and green box edition has three star products you will want to take advantage of!

True Botanicals Chebula Active Serum

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

If the name of this active is ringing bells in your head, it may be because it is one of nature's well-known superfruits!

Amazingly versatile, this superfruit is used in Ayurvedic skincare to prevent and correct the harmful effects of free radicals. The anti-aging serum is rich in antioxidants which protect the skin by absorbing free radicals and transforming them into another form.

It is paired with hyaluronic acid, elderberry extract, echinacea, and ginger to boost texture-improving hydration. As a result, the Chebula serum has a powerful anti-aging action that fights visible signs of aging and strengthens the skin's natural barrier. Also, it is one of the most antioxidant serums and delivers a deep anti-aging action to the skin. Over time the skin becomes firmer, and thus, fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed.

What Do Free Radicals Do To The Skin?

The sun's rays and other light sources expose us to free radicals daily. These harmful particles are the cause of premature skin aging.

As they penetrate the skin, they modify and harm healthy cells, thus creating inflammation. So what does this do to the skin over time?

• First up, they target our skin's hydration. Reducing the capacity to retain moisture.
• Second, they ruin our skin barrier function. Thus, it results in poor cell exchange and less oxygen and nutrients.
• Lastly, our Collagen cells are destroyed over time. This results in a loss of density and strength in the skin.

True Botanicals Vitamin C Booster

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

Another best-seller from Truebotanicals, this potent vitamin C treatment offers an immediate brightening action to the skin, reducing the appearance of dark spots.

The formula has two powerful actives: Vitamin C and ferulic acid. When combined, the skin-perfecting actives help boost your natural skin cell turnover. By eliminating excess dead skin cells and impurities on the surface, the skin becomes even-toned and brighter-looking over time. The Vitamin C booster is a fine powder you can add to any water-based serums or moisturizers for an immediate luminous touch.

Psst: Did you know that placing the Vitamin in a powder form is the most stable way to preserve it?

True Botanicals Skin Barrier Sun Shield SPF 30

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

Do you want to protect your skin from the sun without the breakouts? Then this mineral sunscreen is the way to go.

The skin barrier sun shield is a broadspectrum sunscreen enriched with anti-aging skincare. The coconut-based formula protects the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays without using toxins and pore-clogging waxes. Moreover, this lightweight formula makes it suitable for most skin types and super fast to absorb.

The sun shield is rich in peptides originating from Chebula and vegan peas. These peptides help fight visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, and even out the skin texture. The skin barrier sun shield is an excellent sunscreen with skincare actives that help minimize sun exposure's effects.

Also, exclusive to the USA, this unbelievable sunscreen will have you wondering where it was all of your life.

Do You Know What Broad Spectrum Means?

The term “broad spectrum” confirms that the sunscreen protects you from both types of sun rays, UVA and UVB. Dermatologists mostly recommend using a broadspectrum SPF 30 daily.

• UVA rays are responsible for premature aging in the skin.
• UVB rays are more powerful and put you at risk of sunburns and, over time, skin cancer.

Now that you know the harmful effects of the sun, it is time to start protecting yourself. Thus, by purchasing the beauty heroes July box, you can discover their range of sun-protective products and give your skin a well-earned rest!
