Hyaluronic acid and my 7 day Trial

I'm trying Evolve Hyaluronic Acid in a 7 day trial, and will report back daily as to the results. I'm keen to reduce my 2 vertical frown lines, which are pretty deep, so no miracles expected! What's the blurb? This pure clear serum for normal to dry skin contains 200mg hyaluronic acid per bottle, proven to hydrate skin from within and plump up fine lines and wrinkles. Organic pomegranate extract softens and protects. Delicately fragranced with organic rosewater HYALURONIC ACID - Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water making it a highly effective component in moisturisers. Hyaluronic acid helps to reduce wrinkles, making the skin look younger with an improved skin tone. . We use lower molecular weight Hylauronic Acid which penetrated deeper and has more effective hydrating properties. It also increases the production of collagen.

Blushing...with Inika and Mypure

Yes...it's that time of year in Spain when a few hours outside make all the difference to skin. Vitamin D is freely available during daylight hours - and we have been making the most of it, whether down at the coast or simply enjoying a long lunch in our tiny flower-filled garden.

Hey - I was all OUT, luckily it was time to choose something to review from the lovely folk over at Mypure Natural Beauty... Inika bronzer comes in 4 shades to choose from. Now I'm a healthy colour, my skin is pretty tanned but I don't want to look like David Dickinson so I chose the lightest IK3010 Sunkissed. I was glad I did - it...

Snakes alive, St Paddy has departed

So that's St Patrick's Day out of the way - and a chance for our collective liver to rest awhile. We headed to Bar Pinche - well, there's nowhere else! - and were intrigued, not to mention delighted, to see a shiny Guinness pump placed on the bar. On second glance we could see it wasn't actually a pump at all, but an electric machine of much magic. Inma and Patricio (A Paddy by any other name) had stocked up on Surge Guinness , a new one for me. It's a pint of the black stuff in a can, poured flat and then the glass is placed on the machine. That's plugged in and then a miracle happens. A surge of power wobbles the glass and the black stuff erupts like a volcano to form a creamy head and a pretty decent pint. Should St Patrick himself have dropped into the bar last night he couldn't have done it better. As we sat and enjoyed it, armed with our free silly hats, Salvador rolled up. Eyeing the machine suspiciously, he cleared his throat and asked ...
