Every so often it is so important to take time out of our busy lives to care for ourselves. For different people, it means a lot of different things. Personally, I love going for a run or long walk around our local lake, or simply sitting and enjoying a quiet cup of coffee flicking a girly mag.  Retreat Yourself also has a subscription box that is perfect for some self-pampering. The box is loaded with a selection of seasonally selected natural and organic beauty, health and lifestyle products, and with the majority of the products full sized.

If you regularly tune stop by my little blog or my instagram page, you’re probably well aware how addicted I am to using Retinol as I simply find it is the one ingredient that works wonders for both my ageing skin as well as my breakouts. But I have never actually tried a retinol eye cream, until Medik8’s latest launch, r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum* landed on my desk.  In 2016, Medik8 introduced a new encapsulated vitamin A molecule to the market – retinyl retinoate, a hybrid of traditional retinol and clinical strength retinoic acid that’s 8 times more powerful than retinol, and now the r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum is added to the range.  The r-Retinoate Day & Night Eye Serum contains the following key ingredients; Retinyl Retionate to stimulate collagen synthesis and supports the regeneration of skin cells  Hesperidin - to improve blood circulation and strengthen capillary walls for brighter under eyes  Caffeine - to revitalise and help reduce the size of blood
