Treats for the festive season

With the recent news in the UK, Christmas is going to be weird for most of us. Many of us are trying to make Christmas special in our own ways. Personally, I have gone a bit overboard on the presents – my friends and family have been truly spoilt. I have managed to get quite a few presents from Notino this year, which I am sure will go down well.

Quite a few of my friends have received mini pamper kits from me this year. I love making these up as you can personalise them and make sure you get products that you know they will love. Each pamper kit will contain different type of products, however I always make sure they have a sheet mask. Sheet masks are my favourite type of skincare, they’re something I try to use weekly. I have tried so many different types from the UK high street but I think that the variety that are available on Notino is amazing.

Out of the many brands of sheet masks that I’ve tried from Notino, my favourites have to be Holika Holika and Mizon. The first brand, Holika Holika is a Korean brand which is renowned for its hardworking and effective products. I picked up the Pure Essence Shea Butter sheet mask which is perfect for dehydrated skin in need of moisture.

From Mizon, I chose a couple of the Joyful Time sheet masks. There are a few different varieties of these but my favourite contains aloe vera which smoothes and moisturises.

I have also been loving clay masks recently which help keep my face blemish free. The Soaphoria Bentonit Clay comes in a powder form, so you are able to mix your mask up yourself. This would make a great gift because there’s nothing better than a pore cleansing mask. It would also last a long time as you only need a small amount of the powder.

One of my absolute favourite skincare products is the Revolution Skincare Glycolic Acid toner which I’ve been using for over a year. I always use this at night before I moisturise and I have found that it really helps to keep my skin clear and gives me a glow. This is something that I have put in one of my Christmas hampers for one of my friends. I think she is really going to love it!

What have you been buying for your loved ones this Christmas?
