Mothers Day Spa Treatment Present Special

Mothers Day Spa Special

Ahhh, the gift of relaxation: worth its weight in gold. So spoil your mum with a spa gift this Mothers Day. Tried and tested, and totally recommended is the new Clarins Melting Honey Hot Stone Massage which I’ve just had done at the Clarins Spa in Edinburgh’s House of Frasers on Princes Street (formerly Jenners). To say it’s amazing is an understatement and I left in a sort of massaged induced trance. Four indivdual shapes of stone are used on different parts of the body.

Darphin Melaperfect Anti-Dark Spots Perfecting Treatment

There's a story about this serum which might sound crazy. An afternoon out in the Scottish sunshine - honestly, it exists - caused a red, bumpy skin irritation which was cleared up by this new treatment. It might be due to the salycylic acid or the Trametes mushroom extract but whatever it was, I was mightily impressed by the immediate results. Nothing has worked this fast since Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream.

Darphin’s Hydraskin Essential All-Day Skin-Hydrating Emulsion

Darphin’s Hydraskin Essential All-Day Skin-Hydrating Emulsion
What does it promise to do?: 

Thirsty, tight-feeling skin? Then sort it out with Darphin’s new Hydraskin Essential All-Day Skin-Hydrating Emulsion. Dehydrated skin means more wrinkles plus it ages faster. But this new product solves those problems both now and long term.

Do we like?: 

This is essentially a moisturiser and what a moisturiser it is. It's one of the best we've ever tested. Skin is left super supple with a massive different to skin tone and reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Skin never looked better with this product. An absolute must buy.

Darphin Wrinkle Corrective Eye Cream

What does it promise to do?: 

Helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrnkles. Helps plump skin's appearance. Stimulates cell renewal and protects against free radicals.

Do we like?: 

It's super rich and thick. But it doesn’t leave a residue onto skin’s surface although it does take a little longer to soak in than other eye creams so leave enough time to soak before applying makeup. Thanks to added rose and orange blossom fragrances, it smells more fresh and light than Darphin products usually do which is a major plus. But any noticeable impact on lines was minimal.

Where can I buy it?: 

Exclusively from Space NK and nationwide from April 1.

Do we like?: 

A soft but super effective product. The results were visible from the first use. It had a significant impact on the even-ness of skin, smoothing out lines, leaving it soft and radiant. A brilliant product with amazing results.
