A while back I was looking for some skincare in Boots when I found the Supercialist range by Una Brennan. Una is a highly respected London facialist and has created an interesting collection of products including facial oils, cleanser, masks, moisturisers and eye creams. I decided to try the Rose Intense Moisture Mask. I tested it that very evening while having a nice relaxing bath. The mask comes in a 125 ml tube, the design is nice and simple. I really loved the rose scent, it is natural scent and is not over-powering. This creamy mask has a soft texture and I applied a thick layer to my face and neck as instructed. After 5 minutes I rinsed it off with luke warm water and gently patted my face dried. My skin felt soft, plump and looked brighter. I have been using this mask at least once a week and I think it has help keeping my skin hydrated and healthy. This product is designed to be used by even the most sensitive skins. On the ingredients front it contains a blend of White Willow extract, known to enhance skin cell turnover, Vitamin E and Urea with soothing Marshmallow extract to effectively hydrate, plump and replenish skin. There is also some Rosa Damascena flower water and Geranium oil which gives its gorgeous scent. This mask costs £ 8.99 at Boots and is also available though www.superfacialist.co.uk. To be honest this mask feels pretty luxurious and offers excellent value.
I was pretty impressed by the Rose Mask so I decided to try another product by Una Brennan. I adore the scent of Neroli therefore I would test the Neroli Daily Brightening Cleanser. I was a little bit worried that this would be drying as very often foaming cleanser can leave the skin feeling dry and tight but this product hardly foams and forms more of a creamy gel when mixed with water. The cleanser is a beautifully scented gel. My skin felt very clean and very soft, I didn’t even need to apply a moisturiser afterwards. So what’s in there ? First there are Mango Seed Oil, Grape seed oil and Hibiscus extract which are antioxidants, then there is a tightening polysaccharide combined with Hyaluronic Acid, known for its hydrating benefits, which boosts this gentle cleanser. Sweet orange oil, Bitter orange oil, Lemon oil, Lavandin oil create the delicious scent. I love using this cleanser and give it a full thumb up. This is currently on special offer at Boots at the price of £ 5.33 (it is usually £ 7.99).
