Elemis is an innovative British skincare brand with over 30 years of expertise. Their award winning skincare portfolio includes face and body skincare products with revolutionary formulas. The House of Elemis in Mayfair has been one of my favourite places for a facial for many years. Through visiting the Mayfair spa I have become a fan of the Elemis range of skincare products, especially their Pro-Collagen range.
Whilst I have reviewed some of their incredible products previously, during the winter lockdown I have been focusing on my skincare regimen and have been using some classic favourites from the Elemis line, along with some newer products which I wanted to share with you. After using these products for a couple of months continuously, my skin has improved quite dramatically. I would encourage you to try some of the Elemis Pro-Collagen range, my top recommendations being the Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30 and Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask. Whilst all of their products are generally good I believe these are the stars which will work for the majority of people who will try them.
Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
Deeply Cleanses, Softens, Nourishes
How to use: Use daily as a cleanser or weekly as a nourishing facial mask. Warm a pea-sized amount between palms and then massage over face and neck with light circular massage movements. Remove with a warm, damp cleansing cloth.
The Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is one of my top recommendations from Elemis, it is possibly one of the best every cleansers I have ever tried and a No. 1 bestseller for a reason. It is a nourishing cleansing balm that melts away makeup, daily pollutants and impurities. The balm contains unique properties, it transforms into three unique textures; nourishes as a balm, easily removes makeup as a cleansing oil and hydrates as a cleansing milk. It leaves skin feeling soft and clean and is perfect for removing make-up. I love the process of using this before going to bed in the evening as the oils have a particularly soothing and relaxing effect.
Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30
Firms, Smooths, Hydrates
How to use: Apply every morning after cleansing. Warm a pea-sized amount between palms and gently smooth over face and neck in upward strokes.
Whilst this is sold as an anti-wrinkle moisturiser I have never really used this product because of its anti-ageing properties. It has won numerous beauty awards and is considered “one of the 100 greatest skincare products of all time”. The Pro-Collagen Marine Cream is super moisturising, yet the gel cream is ultra-light and instantly makes my skin feel hydrated and plumper. It also very conveniently has SPF 30 so it improves hydration whilst protecting the skin from sun exposure. Lastly, its a great base for make-up.
Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix
Smooths, Firms, Replenishes
How to use: Apply every evening after cleansing and toning. Warm a pea-sized amount between palms and gently smooth over face and neck in upward strokes.
I have only recently started using night creams, with the Elemis Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix you wake-up feeling like your skin has had at least eight hours of sleep - even if that is not the case! The Pro-Collagen Overnight Matrix is made with a revolutionary formula which creates a protective matrix to seal in hydration. After I use this product my skin looks more refreshed, smoother and less stressed.
Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask
Brightens, Rejuvenates, Hydrates
How to use: Ideally, three times a week. Apply a thin layer to the eye contour and either layer under makeup in the morning, over makeup during the day or leave on overnight to absorb.
I am constantly looking for a luxurious eye cream or mask, especially as I tend to get quite dark circles under my eyes. The Elemis Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask is a serum-infused eye mask that targets the look of puffiness and dark circles whilst minimising the look of wrinkles. It has a refreshing gel texture and the 3-in-1 formula can be used as an overnight anti-ageing mask, a hydrating undereye primer or a moisturising rescue balm. I personally love to use it overnight and it’s also great to prep the under eye area before applying concealer.
Pro-Collagen Rose Facial Oil
Soothes, Nourishes, Smoothes
How to use: Apply every morning and evening after cleansing. Massage 3-4 drops onto the face and neck in upward strokes.
I have always been a little weary of using facial oils as they can often cause break-outs, however this facial oil is lightweight and never greasy. The Pro-Collagen Rose Facial Oil is an award winning oil that will give your skin a beautiful radiance. It includes nourishing oils of Sweet Almond, Jojoba and Coconut which provide a lightweight base that is easily absorbed by the skin for a radiant and dewy fresh complexion.
Pro-Collagen Rose Hydro-Mist
Hydrates, Soothes, Rejuvenates
How to use: Use both morning and evening after cleansing and throughout the day to refresh makeup.
This is a high performance anti-wrinkle serum which gives 24 hydration. I especially like how a little spritz during the day rejuvenates make-up and refreshes the skin. Its a wonderful product to carry with you when travelling on planes.
Pro-Collagen Insta-Smooth Primer
Firms, Smoothes, Refines
How to use: Use every morning over your daily moisturiser or as a makeup primer. Pump a pea-sized amount into the palms and smooth over the face and neck.
One of my favourite primers, it bridges the gap between skincare and make-up perfectly. The ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Insta-Smooth Primer reduces the look of fine lines and pores whilst leaving skin perfectly prepped for makeup. I have tried many primers, however this one leaves the complexion looking smooth, flawless and perfected prepped for makeup.
