Review / Laidbare Smooth As A Peach

Laidbare is a brand that puts much consideration into the ingredients used in order to achieve the promised results; their items are free from petrochemicals, sulfates, parabens, synthetic fragrance & colours and free from animal testing. So if you're looking to switch to a more natural skincare and bodycare regime, don't look any further! I can't recommend them highly enough and prices are really affordable too. 

Laidbare Smooth As A Peach* is a body cream targeting cellulite prone areas like thighs, bum and tum.

If like me you go to the gym regularly, you may be able to reach your desired weight - have a toned body, thanks to the body pump classes - but you know that you still need a little help to firm the skin and those wobbly bits.

This cream is ideal to improve the appearance of the skin and it's also gentle enough that can be used on the chin (or double) too.

Main ingredients are Catappa Leaf Extract to firm and tighten skin tissues and Elder Flower Extract to brighten the skin and it's also got antiseptic properties; Caffeine that is a must in cellulite treatment since helps the body eliminate the fat and the dreadful orange peel and Chlorella Vulagaris also reduces the appearance of stretch marks.

The consistency is a bit thicker of what I'm used to, but it makes perfect sense because it requires some high duty massaging action which is all good and recommended to attack these dimples; for this reason it's ideal for winter especially, when the skin may not be as receptive and some extra tlc is needed.

Having said that, it still absorbs completely into the skin without leaving any residue on the surface and it has a comforting, delicate floral scent.

If you're lucky enough to have perfect skin, it's also a great everyday moisturizer and the skin is left soft and smooth.

Review / Laidbare DIY! Two in One Cleanser & Toner

I have an important initiative to share with you today.

Laidbare will donate £1 from the sale of its blue products to ovarian cancer charities. 

March is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month with the aim to remind women of the signs and symptoms of the disease; a disease that affects 7000 women in the Uk every year and the fifth most common cancer in females.

But Laidbare support doesn't confine to only 1 month, in fact they will donate a percentage of the sales from now until the end of April 2013.

Laidbare is a brand that I came across quite recently but I can see already been a favourite for many bloggers on the web.

I've started using the Laidbare DIY! Two in One Cleanser & Toner* for only a couple of weeks and, I'm not exaggerating, when I say that it's my absolute favourite!

It contains liquorice and aloe vera, both anti-bacterials, which help in soothing and strengthening my sensitive skin; other natural ingredients include apple secrets extract to protect the skin cells and brazil nuts extract that purifies and nourishes the skin.

For the green people out there - this is also free from parabens, petrochemicals sulfates and all the others nasty chemicals... and it's cruelty-free too.

The gel consistency is perfect to lather on the skin on his own and I find it works very well in conjunction with the Clarisonic, too. It's also a make up remover so I tested it on my eyes and I can report that it got rid of very stubborn mascara and it didn't sting my eyes.

It leaves my skin refreshed and clean but without stripping it; I would say it leaves my skin 'matte'... yeah I think this is the best way to describe the feeling and finish.

Gentle yet effective that I can use it on a daily basis, without stressing my skin, but actually improving it!
Such a fab product, really!!!

The scent is mix of zesty and sweetness and very pleasant, indeed - The price? £5.99... what an amazing bargain and personally, I would happily pay triple that for the quality.

Love the simple, clean design of the brand but my only issue is with the actual tube: the screwtop is not  the most practical for me to use and the cap broke after a few days... still this is not gonna stop me from buying it for life!!!

Have you tried Laidbare before? Believe me, you do NEED this in your routine! ;)
