I’m road testing two brand new nutritional supplements this week

I’m road testing two brand new nutritional supplements this week.

This one is called Zenii and can help plump and hydrate the skin. Good skin care isn’t just about the beauty products you put on your skin- but living a healthy lifestyle with attention to the food you eat and how much water you drink.

As we age the skin loses its collagen, elastin & hyaluronic acid content. So this is a supplement that aims to address these issues.

ProHydrate by ZENii
contains:
Hyaluronic acid to help maintain skin hydration.
Coconut water also for skin rehydration.
MSM as an anti-inflammatory and skin detoxificator.
Vitamin C as an antioxidant.
Zinc for healing and rejuvenation.

I would think that the results of any course of supplements or treatments will be more apparent and keep improving after a couple of months rather than in just one month. But we all have to start somewhere.

Zenii ProHydrate is available from John Bell and Croyden in London and online.
I’ll let you know my own results in a month.

A selection of my favourite makeup brushes and products from @primark

A selection of my favourite makeup brushes and products from @primark.beauty . I was browsing in Primark Oxford st and checked out their new beauty products which apparently have had a recent significent financial investment. I was really impressed with their makeup brushes which I then bought for a transgender MTF client so she could experiment with her newly learnt makeup application techiques, taught by me, with these brilliant inexpensive makeup tools. The brush prices ranged from £1-£2.50 and were excellent in both texture and balance between softness and firmness for application and blending away. The key to a good make application is blending and blending away. Its not all about countouring as seen in so many airbrushed insta MUA posts. It's so important to be able to blend away, especially for a trans girl who may still be covering her remaining beard growth during her laser/electrolysis/hormone treatments with layers of concealer products, foundation and powdering to set. However blending away is important for all girls whether it's eyeshadow, foundation, concealer or blusher. . . The brushes shown here include double ended brushes: Angled eyebrow brush Eyeshadow and concealer brush Apply and blend brush Foundation and concealer brush Powder and finish brush And Blender sponge Mattifying powder And an artist palette of eyeshadows. Great makeup tools for starting out. Total £29! ( i doubled up on some of the brushes for my client) . . . .
