ALL OPINIONS , AS ALWAYS, ARE EXPRESSLY MY OWN
It has been a long year and my skin has definitely felt it. My skincare routine was in desperate need of a refresh and the timing could not have been better to be gifted skincare from ELEMIS and ShopStyle to transform my day-to-day routine into a spa-like experience again.
ELEMIS is a skin wellness brand who describes themselves as having ‘an aromatherapist’s soul, an artist’s spirit, and a scientist’s commitment to results’. A very well-rounded approach to skincare in my opinion. They are an innovative and global British skincare brand with over 30 years of expertise and are available in over 45 countries.
Their foundation is founded in aromatherapy and their products are thoughtfully created with natural fragrances. ELEMIS approach to skincare is a holistic one, as they believe in the power of engaging all the senses on your skin wellness journey.
As a woman in my 30’s, anti-aging is at the forefront of all my skincare and beauty routines and ELEMIS pro-collagen line is designed exactly to address those concerns. ELEMIS also happens to be Britain’s No. 1 Anti-Aging Skincare Brand.
The aim of their products is to protect the skin’s unique microflora and fight off daily aggressors, all the while promoting a healthy acid mantle. Translation: they want to create products that make sure that your skin is the healthiest and most protected it can be so it looks and feels the best it can.
I really loved that when using these products in my routine it felt like a very luxurious skincare ritual. I am impressed with how thoughtfully curated and presented the products are and the spa-like feel that emanates throughout the line. Their formulas are truly innovative and it is very evident that there is a perfect blend of science with the chemistry of nature.
But let’s get to the specifics and my experience with all these luxurious products.

ELEMIS
Pro-Collagen
Cleansing Balm
PRO-COLLAGEN CLEANSING BALM
USD $64.00
I love cleansing balms and I have been lusting after this one for a very long time. This cleansing treatment nourishes the skin as a balm, removes makeup as a cleansing oil and then hydrates as a cleansing milk - 3 unique textures in one product for the ultimate cleansing experience. The mineral oil-free formula also infuses Rose and Mimosa waxes with Elderberry, Starflower and Optimega™ Oils.
The scent upon opening this product swept me away to the spa with its unique blend of 9 essential oils including Lavender, Chamomile and Eucalyptus. The balm was very creamy and the oil melted away my makeup effortlessly. The silky smooth cleansing milk that developed left my skin feeling not only supremely soft but thoroughly clean as well. This cleanse was a truly luxurious experience that I have been missing in my skincare routine. I now understand why this is ELEMIS No. 1 Best Seller. I was also very intrigued by the fact that it can also be used as a weekly nourishing facial mask.

Pro-Collagen
Marine Cream SPF 30
PRO-COLLAGEN MARINE CREAM SPF 30
USD $128.00
This anti-wrinkle day cream is what hydration dreams are made of. It is, as stated, the ‘ultimate 3-in-one anti-wrinkle moisturizer’ as it improves hydration and firmness while protecting my sensitive skin from sun exposure. In other words, a holy grail for the health of your skin. The scent is clean and fresh and its beautiful gel-cream texture feels so smooth and luxurious as it glides over your skin and soaks in readily. That in combination with sun protection makes this cream a one and done moisturizing option you can feel good about. In terms of longevity, I was impressed with the supple and smooth texture my skin had all day long and how such an ultra-light gel cream packed a bigger punch than thicker creams I have used in the past. It was like an everlasting drink of hydration for my dry skin.
Formulated with powerful marine and plant actives it helps to reduce the look of fine lines and improve the look of firmness and elasticity - so you have younger looking, smooth rejuvenated skin. If you are looking to revitalize and protect your skin this is an absolute must have.

Pro-Collagen
Eye Revive Mask
PRO-COLLAGEN EYE REVIVE MASK
USD $82.00
Historically eye masks and I have had a tough relationship… that is until now.
This serum-infused eye mask is an absolute marvel and I am shocked how quickly I became attached to it. It is a gel-like texture formulated with next generation Flash Filler Hyaluronic Acid, wrinkle-reducing Watermelon Snow Algae and antioxidant-rich Bush Clover to deeply hydrate and reduce the visible effects of tension and strain around the eye contour. All things I could use with all the screen time working from home. It is very cool and refreshing upon application and it absorbs quickly and hydrates my typically dry under eyes. Another bonus of this product is that it can be used 3 ways - as an overnight anti-aging mask, a hydrating undereye primer and a moisturizing rescue balm to smooth and rejuvenate during the day. I love when products multitask, don’t you?

Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads
DYNAMIC RESURFACING FACIAL PADS
USD $59.00
These dual-action skin smoothing pads exfoliate using Tri-Enzyme Technology. They are formulated with Lactic Acid and Probiotic Ferment Complex. But, what does this mean? It means that these ingredients accelerate skin's natural cell turnover in 28 days and that consistent use helps to reduce the look of dark spots, pores and uneven skin texture.
The ease of use with these pads is fantastic. The pads are contained in a resealable jar that allows for a quick and easy application process with no extra mess or cleanup. I prefer to use these in the evening as a step in my nighttime cleansing routine to lift away my dead skin cells and exfoliate. I was impressed by how gentle these are and yet, very effective. My skins tone and texture was quickly improved to a smoother, softer one and it has even reduced and brightened a couple dark spots I had lurking.
As I recommend with all posts be sure to spot test any exfoliating or resurfacing products, as different skin types react differently to chemical exfoliants and it is always a good idea to ease your skin into their use. I have been using chemical exfoliants for a few years now and I know my skin prefers them to physical exfoliants. My skin also typically agrees well with lactic acid. I will also allow more time in between treatments if my skin is feeling particularly sensitive. If you have been looking to try a new exfoliant or are someone who likes an easy and effective retexturizing element in their skincare routine this is one worth checking out.
ELEMIS
Superfood Facial Oil
SUPERFOOD FACIAL OIL
USD $55.00
We’ve all been told how important greens are in overall skin health and this nourishing face oil packs a healthy serving. The packaging on this little beauty won me over immediately. A sleek glass bottle with a beautifully green hued elixir inside filled with a blend of 9 Superfood Oils including Broccoli, Rosehip, Flaxseed and Daikon Radish to feed the skin.
The dropper is a wonderful addition to this bottle as a little bit goes a long way with this product and it ensures there is not a wasted drop. I can cover my entire face with a single drop, which is great since I love a product that not only works but is kind to my beauty budget. For my scent sensitive individuals out there, you will notice it does have a scent, however, it does dissipate quickly after applying. It is no surprise why skincare lovers and beauty editors alike make this an award winning oil as it is light, non-greasy and really brings out a glowing plump complexion. My dull skin looked radiant and completely perked up after just one use.
OVERALL THOUGHTS
Although I thoroughly enjoyed all the products for very different reasons the standouts for me are the items in the Pro-Collagen Line - The Cleansing Balm, Eye Revive Mask and Marine Cream SPF 30. Each of them delivered a healthier, youthful looking complexion that felt good immediately from the inside out. My skin felt softer and smoother than it has throughout this pandemic and I finally feel like I have my glow back.
