 This is the final part of the Your First Trial Kit. Again, I just could not get it to work for me no matter what I tried. But this does not mean I am willing to try them again sometime in the future.

 This is the second product that was in the First Trial Kit I bought from Boots. Again, it did not work for me no matter what I tried. Different ways of applying, using tools nothing. Other than dry ashy looking skin.

 Do you see products being used on social media and think that’s what I need to use to help with x,y,z. Well, this is one of them. I have a permanent red nose and cheeks which I do not like. I look like I am drunk or blushing all the time. I have tried green creams in the past and they have been hit or miss. This is a miss for me. I have tried various ways of applying it and nothing works for me. All it has done is leave my skin feeling dry and ashy. I was so disappointed with the results I got from it.

 Are you like me and click those links you see on Instagram or Tik Tok are disappointed that you get a foiled packet that has enough for one try of the product. Well, I was not when I received this package. I would call this a mini travel size but still enough for a couple of weeks’ use. This is a very thick lavender smelling cream that a small amount once warmed goes a long way. At first, I must admit the smell did put me off, but it did wear off. I prefer to use this at night because of the smell. I have tried it on its own, before and after other moisturisers and have found the best way for me to apply it is to mix with another moisturiser. If I do not do this, then my skin feels like it has a weatherproof coating on. I must admit my skin loves it and looks healthy as well as that glow from within look.

I was sent this to try. I am glad I did as this is part of my weekly skincare routine now. Why weekly, well my skin is sensitive. I found that using it more than once a week makes my skin becomes more sensitive. For me this is a morning cleanse on those days when you have a little more time over skincare. I take the size of a ten pence piece and slowly add water until it creates a thick foamy paste which is luxurious. Then gently and slowly starting at the forehead in circular motions I apply it to my skin. The milky oat smell did put me off at first, but it does not linger for long. Once I have my face all covered, I massage again to pay attention to the areas that I feel need more attention, for example my chin and around my nose. I remove it using a damp muslin cloth.

At first glance you would assume that this would be a serum for your face, well you would be wrong it’s a serum for your hair. As I am growing out the dye that I put on my hair during 2021 including bleach, my hair is damaged and this after washing and conditioning my hair I would section my hair into four and each section into two.  Each smaller section I would apply one pump, first using the praying hands method then raking my finger through from roots to ends making special attention to the mid lengths and ends as this was where the most damage was. I would then brush my hair through and leave it to dry naturally. It helped with the frizz and made my hair more manageable  

This is the final part of the Niacinamide bundle from Boots. This is a great moisturiser and the one I use most often especially during the summer as it is light, and my sun care goes perfectly over the top. I use it morning and night too on those days that your skin needs tender loving care. It is absorbed quickly and does not leave a residue. My skin feels hydrated al day long.
