However, I wasn’t always a find, to be completely honest. I always felt like they were a little stiff and never really stuck properly to my face, but after having tested lots (and I do mean LOTS) of different sheet masks, I’ve finally found myself a few favourite ones that I wanted to share with you.

The best thing about sheet masks? No mess & super easy to travel with. Win/win, right?

Let’s get into a few favourites below:

STARSKIN – VIP Crème de la Crème

The inner layer is coated with a remarkable 18g of super-concentrated, luxurious cream while the outer protective layer functions as a shield. This delivery system allows you to force-feed dry and depleted skin with almost half a jar of cream in just one treatment to ensure ultimate nourishment and absorption, and spectacular results.

GO TO – Transformazing

The blend of natural botanicals such as kakadu plum, finger lime tasmanian pepper leaf work together, and in just 10 minutes leave the skin plumper and brighter. The skin tone is left more even, whilst the addition of niacinamide and hyadisine leave the skin plumper, hydrated and ready for any event with this sheet mask.

WEI – Mung Bean Sprout Stress Relieving Soothing Mask

Mung Bean has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine to help nurture the body while calming and cooling the skin. This purifying sheet mask floats in 45ml essence of detoxifying Mung Bean Sprout to help to clear imbalanced or blemished skin. A ten-minute application exfoliates dull skin and removes skin-damaging pollutants and impurities from pores while restoring healthy sebum levels for a calm, flawless complexion. Mung Bean Sprout offers powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties while supplying protein-rich moisture to the skin, Chinese Licorice Root helps heal skin ailments and blemishes while Cucumber extract soothes and hydrates.

Luckily, it’s a little bit easier with The Beauty Chef Glow Powder as I’ve taken this for over 2 years now, and I’m utterly obsessed with it because I can see it truly does make a difference in my skin and overall glow. It’s one of those things that I notice goes away after a week or two, if I stop taking this beauty supplement.

Let’s dive into a bit of a review since I’m partnering with The Beauty Chef for the month of September for their #30daystoglow challenge which is all about kickstarting your inner beauty journey towards a healthier, happier gut and gorgeous, glowing skin!

Even though we’re into September already, you can still join us on a journey to radiant skin – simply take 1 teaspoon of GLOW Inner Beauty Powder every day for one month – that’s it!

What is GLOW Powder & what does it do?

GLOW Inner Beauty Essential is developed in order to, not only support gut health, but also collagen synthesis, and beautiful skin, hair and nails, thanks to the presence of more than 20 bio-fermented, whole food ingredients including zinc and vitamin C which support skin health.

GLOW has been developed with The Beauty Chef’s exclusive Flora Culture fermentation process which helps to increase the bioavailability of the formula and create a live, broad-spectrum probiotic for a healthy & functioning gut.

It actually tastes GOOD – the berry-flavoured formula also contains prebiotics and is packed with easily digested, supercharged nutrients that are absorbed quickly and effectively by your cells and vitamin C to continuously support collagen synthesis and healthy skin.

What are the KEY benefits?

• Rich in vitamins and minerals: GLOW is a bio-fermented blend of easily absorbed Certified Organic superfoods, vitamin C and zinc, essential fatty acids and phytonutrients.

• Supports healthy skin: Antioxidant-rich ingredients such as Dunaliella salina, maqui berry, queen garnet plum as well as vitamin C and zinc support healthy skin, helping to reduce inflammation, calm skin irritation and sensitivity.

• Assists collagen production: Contains vitamin C which supports collagen synthesis, resulting in healthier skin.

• Feeds your microbiome and supports gut health: Contains prebiotics to feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut. Our exclusive Flora Culture fermentation process also creates a live, broad-spectrum probiotic to support digestive health.

• Supports skin function: Zinc is important for supporting healthy skin, hair and nails.

• Certified Organic: GLOW is Certified Organic, which means the ingredients used in this formula are grown organically without any herbicides or pesticides

Can anyone take it? 

Yes, it’s suitable for everyone, however pregnant women should always consult a medical practitioner.
It’s also 100% free from; GMO, Gluten, Dairy, Soy, Eggs, and Artificial Ingredients (preservatives, sweeteners & flavours).

How do you feel on it?

In my personal experience, I feel great on it. As you know I’ve had a long gut-health journey that is far from over (when is it ever really?), so I speak from 1st hand experience – I’ve never had any trouble with taking GLOW Inner Beauty Powder from The Beauty Chef even when my gut was at its most sensitive stage. It didn’t bloat me, didn’t create heartburn or reflux or any other pain.

If you do have a sensitive gut, I suggest trialling it out for a few days and noting down how you feel an hour or two after you’ve consumed this to be 100% sure.

How quickly do you see/feel results?

I’d say after a week or two on Glow Powder you will start to see a difference in your skin as well as feeling it in your stomach and overall body. It won’t take months before you get results, your body will notice it straight away and pick up on the goodness.

Remember though, that this isn’t a powder that will make you GLOW if your diet is made up of purely burgers, pizza and soft-drinks. But eating a well-balanced diet (including cake and chocolate, still) and drinking lots of water to help flush your system as well as moving your body most days, will give you the best results – physically and mentally.

Secondly; it’s that time of the month to show you my favourite beauty products of March that I’ve been testing out since my last batch of products in February .

Read on to see what’s working for me this month & what I’m currently doing backflips over:

My Daily Dose of Glow from Skin Inc.:

I’m obsessed with serum-additions to my “standard” day & night-cremes, as I feel like those are really the little helpers that work magic on your skin.

This little buddy not only looks super cute but also works wonders in the glow-department! It contains Vitamin A which is clinically proven to support the skin’s natural renewal process and help fight pollution & ageing. It also contains nutrient-rich chlorella extract that tackles skin dullness, reduces the appearance of pigmentation, and evens skin tone for a clearer, brighter-looking complexion + hydrolyzed molecules of hyaluronic acid to keep your skin extra hydrated under your day or night creme.

Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Vanilla Quartz from Becca:

Continuing on with the glow, I’m loving this limited edition Highlighter from Becca Cosmetics. I’ve been a fan of Becca Cosmetics for quite sometime, and I’m loving their bronzers as well.

This little treasure-chest makes you glow like the sun. A little bit goes a long way, so don’t over do it, because no one wants to look like a shiny teenager (sorry!). A little dap on the brow-bone, cheekbones, back of the nose & cupid’s bow is all you need to reflect the natural light and bring out your own beauty.

Glow Advanced Inner Beauty Powder from The Beauty Chef:

This isn’t really a “a new kid on the block” on my shelves. I’ve been using the Glow-powder from The Beauty Chef for quite some time now, and I can certainly see a difference in the radiance and glow of my skin.

The Glow-Powder is a daily beauty blend, containing 24 Certified Organic, bio-fermented and probiotic superfoods, for good gut health and healthy, glowing skin.

It’s rich in vitamins and minerals, supports digestive & immune health, helps reduce internal & external inflammation in the skin, boosts collagen thanks to Vitamin C, rich in prebiotics and soluble fibre to feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut, contains zinc for healthy skin, hair & nails and is certified organic.

Basically, it contains everything that your insides love so that your outsides can continue to shine on!

Just have it in the morning mixed with water or even add it to your smoothies or juices. Done.

 Infrared Sauna Session at Nimbus & Co. through Class Pass:

I’ve started getting more & more into Infrared Sauna Sessions due to the benefits, how I feel after them and how much they make my skin GLOW.

A traditional sauna uses convection and conduction to heat the surface of your skin. Infrared saunas however use infrared heating panels that emit light, helping your body to detoxify, giving a deeper cleansing experience. The infrared light can’t be seen by the naked eye, but it gives off what’s called radiated head, penetrating deep within your tissues, muscles and cells.

Unlike traditional saunas, the air in an infrared sauna is a lot drier making it easier to breathe. This form of slow heating makes infrared saunas a much more comfortable experience than a traditional one, however don’t fret, you will SWEAT!

Infrared Sauna is good for detoxification, anti-ageing, chronic conditions like arthritis & fibromyalgia, skin health, immune system, pain relief, stress reduction and much more..

I’m lucky that my local Infrared Sauna Boutique Studio is on Class Pass which makes it easy and cost-effective.

Iles Formula Finishing Serum from Edwards & Co.:

If anyone knows me, they know my crazy hair has a life of it’s own.

After years with sickness, my hair really suffered. I lost patches of hair during treatment, and the rest of it became frail, thin and lost it’s strength.

Fast forward 4 years, my hair is finally starting to make a come-back. But it’s been a mix of a healthy diet, supplements and good haircare. The team at Edwards & Co. has taken care of my hair for over 7 years, and has helped me bring back stronger blonde locks.

One of the products I was recommended for my hair as a leave-in-treatment was Iles Formula.
I have been using it for 1/2 year now, and I absolutely cannot live without it! It’s super light so it doesn’t weigh your hair down, it’s smells incredible and it’s so moisturising your locks will just lap it straight up!

Even though it says serum, it’s more like a lightweight moisturiser, so it doesn’t feel greasy or heavy!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

EVO Fabuloso ‘Platinum Blonde’ Conditioner from Edwards & Co.:

If you want cool, blonde locks, this is your best friend in the shower! And I don’t mean cool, as in smart, but cool as in cool-cold blonde locks.

I really don’t like when my hair turn into a warm-blonde, I’ve always loved my hair with a cool tint/tone to it.

So once-twice a week, I’ll use this purple conditioner in my hair – leave it on for 4-5 minutes – rinse, and your locks are back to platinum again!

If you have frail, blonde hair, you’d know that the ‘purple’ shampoos are often very harsh on the hair and strips it for it’s natural oils, resulting in breakage and clumps, however the conditioners are much more soft on the hair + nourishing, meaning you’re doing the hair good! Win/Win!

Agave Lip Balm from Bite Beauty:

My lips dry out incredibly quickly, whether it’s summer or winter – they just don’t like to stay moist.

So, because of it, I always have a stash of lip balms in all my jackets or bags – just in case.

Recently I was gifted this little fella, and it’s my favourite one at the moment.

It’s a nourishing formula made with agave and Madagascan vanilla extract to keep lips hydrated and protected all day long to quickly repair and restore them throughout any season of the year.

See you next month for more new beauty-product favourites..

Let me know if there are any products in particular you’d like me to review?
