Ziaja Argan Oil Body Butter
Last year I stumbled across Ziaja in a pharmacy and picked some of it up.... Within a week of using it I was in love with the range!!
The range itself is budget friendly and comes in many many ranges for adults and children, from skincare to hair care.
When it comes to the cold Winter weather we all need that extra bit of protection on our skin and during these months I switch to the Argan Range.
It has natural Argan oils in the range so its that bit stronger in putting moisture back into the skin and suitable for sensitive/irritated skin.
It almost acts like a waterproof film on the skin so as the wind,rain and extreme cold and heat won't get in and effect the skin.
Heating from air conditioning systems and radiators cause havoc on the skin because its an intense heat and going from the cold into the heat isn't good on the skin.
This Argan Oil Body Butter is a Godsend!!! I apply it morning and night and to my hands once or twice throughout the day and my God the difference in my skin. I don't have the redness on the skin we all get in the Winter. My skin isn't dry or scaly.
Its plump and healthy looking.
This cream is a WINTER MUST HAVE in my opinion and with it being only €7.99 (220ml) a little goes a long with this product too so it will last quite awhile too.
The smell is AMAZING without it being to over powering on the skin... I hate creams that smell too strong.
Most pharmacys nationwide stock Ziaja but if not you can get it from Original Beauty online and you will find ALL the ranges there.
EVERYONE SHOULD BE USING THIS FOR THE WINTER !!!
As always if you have tried any of the range or plan on picking it up let me know how you get on :)

Beauty Bargain of the Week - Ziaja Argain Oil Hand Cream
With the weather getting colder and miserable we need to protect our skin. Heating systems, radiators, air conditioning units in the work place all dry out the skin aside from the dreaded Winter weather. So this is why this weeks Beauty Bargain is Ziaja Natural Argan Oil hand cream €3.99.
This Argan oil hand cream is amazing because of its properties... The argan oil and glycerin acts as a barrier against the cold and heat on the skin. While the minerals and vitamins repair the skin and prevent any more drying on the skin.
I've used and tried the Argan oil shower gel and it was amazing. The hand cream doesn't leave a greasy or tacky fininsh to the hands when you apply it. After a minute or two its completely soaked in leaving the skin feeling soft and plump. Its even got a soft mild scent to it from the Argan oil which is lovely but not over powering. There's nothing worse than a hand cream that stinks of a strong perfume!!
This hand cream is definitely one for beside the bed and applied morning and night and one for in the handbad for when you are on the go. Price wise its only €3.99 which is a bargain considering a pea sized amount goes a long way.
So make sure you get yours and get your skin protected and help the dryness or cracked skin on your hands before the cold makes it worse.
You can order online from here or most pharmacy's nationwide stock the Ziaja range.

Wednesday's How To Guide.... Mini Facial
Hi Everyone!!
So this Wednesday's How To Guide was chosen by you and it's on.... How To Do A Mini Facial
A good skincare regime is essential both for your skin and also for a good makeup application... As many of you may know I'm always talking about it at my Master classes.
Weather you take the time to treat yourself to a facial in a salon or at home by using products at home you should try and have a facial every 3 months if possible. In the mean time you can carry out your own Mini Facial at home once a week if you have the time.
Today I'm going to tell you how to do one and also showing you some products from the Ziaja range because they are budget friendly and I've used and still use many if their range. I find their range amazing... Now you can of course use you're own preference on brand or brands to use when doing a mini facial.
I've prices and example's of Ziaja products for a couple of different skin types.
So to start off with doing a facial you should use a cleanser to suit you're skavoiding ta couple k
( A cleaner will get right into the skin and treat and clean the skin.
Step 1.. Cleanse the skin twice... Once will remove any makeup or dirt on the skin.
The second cleanse will really work into the skin and will do its job.
*When cleansing the skin apply it to the whole face and neck and working in a circular motion massage for a minute or two into the skin. Remove with damp cotton wool, cotton pads, or a damp face cloth
(Do not use toner after cleaning as this will only close the pores and the cold temperature will also help in closing the pore)
Step 2.. Now that the face is clean and rid of any makeup and dirt you now remove any dead skin and deep clean the pores (remove blackheads, spots) using and enzyme peel or exfoliater.
This will alloy new fresh skin to come through leaving the skin looking fresh and feeling supple.
*Apply enzyme peel to damp skin all over the face and neck (avoiding the eyes)in a circular motion gently rub peel into the face for a couple of minutes. Leave for 10-15 minutes to soak into the skin (steam on the skin works better so doing this and then standing in the shower or in a kitchen when cooking) Rinse peel off with warm cotton pads, cotton wool or face cloth.
Step 3.. Now that you have done the enzyme peel its time to treat any of your "problem areas" like sensitivity on cheeks, oily Tzone, wrinkles etc so I've listed a couple of examples of face masks in the image.
*Apply the mask to the face and neck avoidingtthe eyes. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes also and remove the same way as with the enzyme peel.. Making sure what you use is warm.
Step 4.. Now that your almost done with doing a facial you use you're toner on the skin to remove any excess products and close the pores. App toner to ddamp cotton wool and in a downwards motion wipe all over face and neck.
Once you have done all the 4 steps you can now apply your serum if you're using one before your day or night moisturizer. The ones your using now should be fine if their doing the job for you and treating the skin. You will notice an instant difference both to look at and how the skin feels. So make sure you try keep up the regime of once a week to keep the skin treated, protected and deeply cleansed.
Thanks for reading and I hope you find this helpful for the next time you go to do a mini facial :)
