Receiving a compliment about how great my skin looks means so much more to me now than when I was in my 20’s. Come to think of it, I can’t ever remember commenting on a friend having great skin because it wasn’t an issue. We were young!
I know that a skin compliment to a woman over 40 will really buoy their mood. So goddesses, if you see a friend or stranger rocking great skin why not tell them and have them benefit from a mini-release of those feel-good hormones like Dopamine. A compliment really can have such a positive impact on a person and it might make you feel pretty good about life too.
I am far from perfect but my skincare routine is!

As a self-confessed skin-obsessed goddess I am always wanting to learn about brands, products and skin-enhancing ingredients. It’s a (nerdy) favourite pastime that I enjoy because I know skin health impacts my confidence.
Whilst searching for a super-charged moisturiser Beauty Pie popped up and caught my interest. I read through all the bumph and thought it sounded way too good to be true and closed the page to continue with my search. But I kept thinking about it and a few days later I revisited the site, ultimately opting for the £10 day pass that gives you 24 hours to buy products up to a total value of £300.
OMG, I felt like a kid in a sweet shop! I had literally put nearly every skin product in the basket as the prices blew me away. Once I’d calmed down a little, I methodically went through my picks and whittled down the items for myself as well as my hubby.
This was an order I couldn’t wait to arrive.

My Beauty Pie Products
Super Healthy Skin Daily Vitamin C Defense Serum
Good quality products will always be your best friend and this one is described as having a “guardian angel” in a bottle.
I am loving the nourishing and softening aspect of this little beauty and so far I have been pleasantly surprised.
Before reviewing any product I always like to use it for at least one skin cycle (6 weeks) as that gives me a good amount of time to determine whether a product delivers on its promise. Watch this space for a review.
Triple Hyaluronic Acid & Lipopeptide Serum
As a skin junkie the name of this serum immediately grabbed my attention – The triple dose of Hyaluroinc acid is right up my street!
This swiss serum is formulated with three weights of Hyaluronic Acid for intense hydration, gravity fighting peptides and smoothing ceramides.
I have been using this for a couple of weeks and so far so good. My skin soaks the product in nicely and looks hydrated.
Jeju Daily Stem Cell Moisture Shot Serum
This is a special Korean, Aloe-Vera infused, super fluid moisture serum and it sounds like a skin fairy in a bottle.
Their promise is to help prevent signs of premature ageing, help protect against pollution and full of skin protecting Plant cells.
My hubby is using it daily and seems to really like it but I haven’t tried it yet!
Plantastic Overnight Miracle Face Oil
At least once a week I like to skip my trusty retinol for a super hydrating nourishing mask or oil and that’s why I bought this one.
I liked the ingredients in this oil and also the fact that it’s 99% natural.
Stand by for a follow up in which I share my findings.
Wonderscrub Bio-dermabrasion Face Polish
If I find a product from a brand that I truly love I become very loyal with a reluctance to switch.
Having run out of my current exfoliant this was perfect timing to give something else a go. So far I’ve no regrets.
The texture feels luxurious due to the super gentle Volcanic Scrub Spheres that help get rid of dead skin cells resulting in a brighter and clearer complexion.
I feel this scrub is exfoliating my skin in a tender and gentle way. This can be used as a quick exfoliant or for a more thorough exfoliation, leave on for 3-5 mins once or twice a week.
This is a product I will be buying again and most certainly recommend. The price is fantastic!
Triple Hyaluronic Acid Deep Moisture Miracle Cream
My main goal in using a mosituriser is that it needs to make my skin look dewy, luminous and plumped. This product promises just that and I look forward to trying it out.
This cream was formulated in a Japanese laboratory and they describe it as a deep-moisturising skin beautifying elixir.
Super Healthy Skin Ultimate Anti-Aging Cream
I consider the moisturiser element of my morning skin regime as the product that locks in the goodness from my other products as well as adding a few more extras to really help create flawless skin.
This is a product I will be purchasing again and my hubby also loves this one too.
