H & B Dead Sea Minerals : Multi Vitamin Mineral serum

H & B Dead Sea Minerals - Multi vitamin mineral Serum

So this is my second product in a series of 3 more reviews to come featuring H&B products. This next addition to review is the multi-vitamin serum. A beautifully light and hydrating serum enriched with minerals from the Dead sea. 

Multi-Vitamin serum ;

The revolutionary Multi-Vitamin Mineral Serum covers facial skin with a moisturizing mixture of pure beauty ingredients, containing a rich complex of vitamins which nourish the skin, providing it with a firming effect. The serum contains vitamin A to improve skin elasticity, smooth wrinkles and maintain an even texture; Vitamin E, a major antioxidant in our bodies, which depresses the natural skin aging process by neutralizing free radicals and reducing sun ray damages and Vitamin C, a leading anti-aging factor, which provides the skin with a healthy glow and protects from skin discoloration. This serum is enriched with natural oils, essential fatty acids Omega 3&6 and active Dead Sea minerals. It is highly recommended for usage by women ages 25 and up.

Packaging ;

I think the packaging on this product is very appealing. It looks very high end with the gold and frosted bottle. There is a little too much writing on the bottle, as I think the logo alone with "anti wrinkle serum" embossed would be sufficent. As all the product information is on the box which would suffice for me. However that's a personal preference, with the "less is more concept ". I like this bottle and feel this is a big improvement to the hand creams packaging. 

Results and texture ;

So firstly the texture of the serum is a gel based formula which is dispensed via pump. It's deceiving so don't multi-pump thinking you will need a lot, as this gel liquifies down. It becomes a very aquaous feeling serum and absorbs into the skin well after a little time. Hence why I advise only a pump is needed or waste will occur. I could easily use one pump for my face and the liquid feeling actually encouraged me to massage my face in the evening. This is good for stimulating good circulation, with massaging up to gain more plumping effect. It's very hydrating and over time it maybe beneficial with these factors being accounted for. Plus in cold months it can be good to have a high content hydration product, I can also see this being a great summer product for the same reason. The heat can cause skin damage and this serum would be excellent as an after sun repair. Helps to rehydrate all year round and maintain healthy skin with the minerals. 

I've enjoyed this serum and seen that this gel formula works for me, as I need hydration. Also I find that its great being that you don't need a lot of serum either, so it's great that you can be sure it will last you too. Overall I'm really happy and would repurchase this serum, as I would be interested to see how my skin fairs this year then to past years. 

H & B Dead Sea - Hand and nail multi-vitamin cream

H & B website - Hand and nail cream

So winter is upon us in true cold style. Now if anyone was too look in my bag for winter essentials, then you would find Hand cream and lip balm. So when I saw an opportunity to review for H&B beauty, whom distribute products from the Dead Sea I jumped at the chance.  I've inserted some facts about the Dead Sea below for everyone to see. As I have a few products I'm reviewing, I wanted my readers to have informative and reliable content. 

They say ; 

H&B manufacture, market and export top quality skin, body and hair care products all over the world. These cosmetics are based on Dead Sea minerals, enriched with vitamins, plant extracts and aromatic oils to achieve the ultimate goal of healthy and glowing skin.

Hand and Nail Cream :

The Multi Vitamin Treatment Hands & Nails Cream is enriched with Olive oil, Aloe Vera, Chamomile, Tea Tree extract (an ingredient well known for its effectiveness against fingernail fungus) and Evening Primrose oil. It includes Vitamins A & E and Dead Sea salt water minerals to strengthen the vitality of the skin and also UV filters to protect the skin of your hands.

Past experiences ;

I have used Dead Sea products before when I was a child for psoriasis. However it was in a much more raw form. My nan brought salts back and actual foil packed mud. So I was coated and then bathed in the salty water. As I also watched a video seeing people float in the Dead Sea, because of the salt content of the water. 

Properties of the Dead Sea ;

The unique qualities of the Dead Sea have been known from the early ages for its healing properties and great contribution to your overall well-being. It is the only place in the entire world which offers the exquisite combination of spa benefits: extraordinary sun radiation and climate conditions, enriched oxygen (at least +15% more than any other place in the world), mineral-rich mud and thermo-mineral springs. The Dead Sea is a good source of relief and healing for those suffering from skin diseases such as Psoriasis, Psoriasis-Arthritis, Atopic-dermatitis, Vitiligo (depigmentation), Arthritis and Asthma. The Dead Sea cosmetics products have been proven as good treatment and relief for these diseases. 

Packaging ;

Now the packaging I think on the hand cream is good but I would need a smaller one for my bag. The labels are a little dated but it's based in isreal so what is fashionable there may not be here. However it serves its purpose and I think as time passes, like all things the packaging will change. I do like the way I can control the amount I dispense with the squeezing action of the bottle. 

Overall opinion/Product capability ;

Now with everyone wanting more natural ways of maintaining good skincare, then where best to start then the Dead Sea. It's basis being that the mineral rich properties absorb into the skin. This is true of the hand cream in that it absorbs very easily into the skin. I found I could use this up to my fore-arms for a moisturiser in the evening as it absorbed so well. Plus only a little was needed as it goes such a long way, I was very impressed. Now my skin is very dry in winter, as most people whom suffer with psoriasis will agree its our worst month of the year. I need highly concentrated moisture within a cream but not so heavy that it sits. A good moisturising trick I do is to apply my moisturiser then using a spritz bottle, just mist myself with coconut water to help pull in moisture. 

SeaCret - BB Cream

Now that it is summer and the heat enables me to tone down my coverage for foundation, il be using BB creams and tinted moisturiser then use a powder to keep my skin matte.

Seacret is known for its dead sea mineral skincare, which has been a natural source of minerals for millions of years. They now have a BB cream which is a light blend of moisturiser and foundation. Which they say will give the skin an even tone and lasting smoothness. Being that its a white cream it then corrects and conceals blemishes and imperfections. Leaving the skin hydrated and balanced with a natural glow.  Can be used as a base for makeup as a light coverage or your daily makeup if you don't need extra coverage.

Having used Dead Sea minerals salts as a child, I know they the properties are known around the world. People flock to the Dead Sea to experience the salts and mud to heal and make the most of the properties that make the skin healthy and balanced. 

So at first sight you see this BB cream is white with beads within it. Once you start to blend this into your face it merges with your skin tone and gives a natural base colour. I usually use a medium or fuller coverage as I do have a few discolourations on my face I want covered. So I would conceal them and probably powder to set this and use the BB cream as my base primer so that I don't need a full coverage foundation. So it's a nicer feeling over summer not having that much makeup on. As the BB cream hydrates my face which is my main concern and issue when I look for makeup. This offers that totally and felt natural and light when i applied it. Using it mainly had been lovely and I really enjoyed using it in this heat. It doesn't feel like its sliding off in the heat and if I do feel like my T-zone is "shiny" then a simple transparent blot powder is more then enough.

So as you can see above with just the BB cream on where I would conceal on my cheek, then use a powder to just even this with the concealer. 

I am really impressed with this BB cream and how it's blended in with my skin tone  but it is only a light coverage so you will need some concealer to blend into any blemishes you may have. Plus a little went a long way so you won't need a lot when blending. I was surprised how well the colour went from white to my actual skin tone and that's a really smart technology to adapt to your skin so easily. Plus no oxidation or heavy feeling.  I would continue to use this over summer as I do feel like its light and keeping my skin hydrated. So if your looking for hydration and need a light coverage for the heaty summer but hydrated ready for the change in weather. This is a welcome  addition for my makeup routine. 

Very impressive product and thank you Seacret for allowing me to trial this for you.
