NSpa is a brand of skincare, bodycare and haircare created by the experts at the UK's Number 1 Day Spa - Nirvana spa. The products are all dermatologically approved and paraben free, and none of the products or raw ingredients are tested on animals.
After trying out the NSpa Beauty Rituals Beauty Box, I picked up a few more of their products and have fallen into a skincare routine that works perfectly for me, and my skin has never looked or felt better. I've even switched to a light/sheer coverage foundation. I never thought that would happen!
The Beauty Rituals Skincare range is a 4-Step system with multiple options for each step, which allows you to create a skincare routine completely tailored to your own personal needs and preferences. The first step is Cleanse, second is Exfoliate, followed by Treat and then you finish up with Moisturise.
For my cleanser, I use either the Melting Cleansing Gel, which you can read my review of here, or the Ultimate Cleansing Tonic, which I tend to use the most. It's a one-step cleanser which is half water based and half oil/silicone based. You shake it up, squirt it onto a cotton wool pad and well, wipe your face until your makeup's all gone. It has Witch hazel for toning and Ginseng for moisturising, so my skin is left soft and healthy rather than tight and dry.
Step 2 is exfoliate, and the product I use most is the Skin Renewal Gel. It has no exfoliating beads, but uses natural fruit extracts to exfoliate instead. Orange, lemon and bilberry extracts break down dead skin cells and leave my skin smooth and fresh. And it's gentle enough that it does the job without irritating my sensitive skin!
The third step is Treat - my favourite step and probably my favourite NSpa product! I use the Deep Hydrating Facial Oil. It comes in a 50ml bottle with a dropper, and you use about 3 drops for your entire face and neck. Again, it uses natural oils to give your skin a well deserved treat - Baobab oil, rich in vitamins A, D, E and F helps improve skin elasticity, Rosehip oil helps restore and strengthen, whilst Avocado and Jojoba oils rehydrate and condition the skin. It's not too greasy, you only need a tiny bit as it goes a very long way, and it keeps my skin soft all day. I honestly think that this product has something to do with my acne scars having lightened over the past month or so. I love it.
Finally, I moisturise. I use two products for this step - the first is the Youthful Eye Cream, an intensive moisturiser for the delicate eye area, that still feels super light and absorbs really well. It's a tiny pot and it lasts a really long time because you need so little. I can feel a difference as soon as I put it on, and it really helps to refresh my eyes after a long day at work looking at a computer screen.
The second moisturiser I use is the Night Repair Cream - a silicone based, very rich moisturiser with ceramides, ginseng, Vitamin E and sweet almond oil to make your skin feel super super soft and hydrated. It's a light pink, very thick cream, and a little goes a really, really long way.The great thing about this product (apart from that it works really well, obviously) is that it has a dual purpose that NSpa could really make a lot of money from if they decided to - being silicone based, it makes an AMAZING primer. My makeup glides on over it and stays in place all day. And I don't get annoying dry patches, because my skin's so moisturised. Double winner.
All of these products are available at ASDA stores, or on the ASDA website, and are currently on offer for an amazing 2 for £8. I cannot recommend these products enough!
