ELEMIS’ Teatime Beauty Brew: Three Secrets Just for You

Teatime is no more for nonsense gossips. It’s for making all the sense by talking about beauty secrets from the heart of UK’s gardens to the hands of dermatologists, all the way to you! It is no secret that the UK is one of the leading countries to produce excellent skincare products. London has always the bigger share in all markets, but when it comes to beauty and cosmetics, it’s very hard to compete with.

From London to YOU!

ELEMIS is a British brand based in London and was founded in 1989 by entrepreneur and investor Linda Steiner. Her vision was to create a skincare products as close to nature as possible. The vision turned into reality and every year this small company creates spectacular products. At CEW UK Beauty Awards 2023, ELEMIS won 6 incredible accolades, including Best British Brand, Best Beauty Icon and Best New Skin Product. Anyway, I will not keep talking about ELEMIS and its endless achievements, as this will need 10,000 word-article. So, let’s get into the real deal!

3 in 1 is All You Want!

ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is not just the No.1 best-selling cleanser, but also won the SheerLuxe Beauty Awards in 2024. You use this product as the essential first step in your daily skincare routine. Why? because regular foamy cleansers are not enough to clean up your skin. Dermatologists proved that double-cleansing method at night will help you to remove all makeup, dirt and microbes. This method is easy to adapt in your night routine. You start by applying a good amount of ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm and rub it gently all over your face. Rinse with water (please avoid hot water) and follow it up with your regular foamy cleanser to double clean.

What Makes ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm Different?

It’s infused with a trio of nourishing plant oils, including elderberry, Optimega and bee friendly starflower oil. It also contains algae Padina Povonica that soften hydrate and glow your skin. Do you think it only has the trio oil blend? No, it’s just the beginning. It contains 9 essential oils like lavender oil, chamomile oil, eucalyptus oil, sweet almond oil, kernel Oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, orange oil, grape oil, clove oil and shea butter. ELEMIS asked 120 volunteers to try their magical product and this is what they found:

98% agreed that’s quickly and easily removes makeup, daily grime and visible pollutants.

95% noticed that their skin felt deeply cleansed.

97% approved that the product softened their skin.

92% found their skin improved radiance.

When Smoothness Meets Hydration

What are the key points that you consider when purchasing day facial cream? I think this is easy to guess, because we all agree that hydration is a must, along with nourishing the skin and makes it look smoother and healthier. However, the two times winning Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30 has a different perspective. It won this year two awards from the CEW UK, which are Beauty Award and Consumer Choice Award. It’s a lightweight gel-cream with SPF 30, which suits all different types of skin. It reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in just 2 weeks while quenching skin with 24 hours of hydration. It provides extra protection from sun’s harmful rays and UV-induced premature skin ageing.

What Does This Treasure Contain?

This product is naturally formulated with marine and plant actives. It also includes our moisture-boosting superhero algae Padina Pavonica, Chlorella and Ginkgo Biloba, which were proven to improve firmness and deliver instant hydration. It, as well, contain rose, mimosa, shea butter, carrot root extract, wheat germ oil, lemon oil and bitter orange peel oil. To conclude and go to the next one, this product is a super-duper for all skin types with its light texture that make it easy for the skin to absorb. Most importantly, you don’t just hydrate your skin, but protect from sun with its SPF 30 formulation.

Your Eyes Never Lies!

The older your get, the more wrinkles appear. The more tired you are, the more your eyes would say it out loud. Your eyes will be the very first place to talk about how much do you care about your health and skin. Nevertheless, it’s not easy to find a really high-quality eye cream that gives positive results. Unfortunately, most of the eye creams in the market literally break the bank with barley noticed results. Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment is formulated with protein-rich actives, the weightless formula helps soften, smooth and hydrate the delicate skin around the eyes without overloading it. Again, our hero Padina Pavonica shows for the third time in a row, along with and blue flower linseed that help to tone and firm your undereye. This powerful combination of actives and deep hydration leaves the eye area with a more youthful appearance.

Let’s Analyse the Ingredients!

Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment is made of glycerine, cornflower extract, linseed extract, hyaluronic acid, chestnut extract, chamomile oil and lavender oil. These ingredients along with other active ones boost proteins and are vital for healthy cell development. Oils contain minerals and vitamins to bring the live to the undereye area. The product has been tasted over and over; people have positive reviews despite the fact that is a bit pricy. Eye creams are expensive anyway, at least, we found the one that deserves the money.

The 30-year-old ELEMIS has set itself up among skincare companies that have been for hundred of years in the market. They offer over 50 products for skin, bath and body with top-quality ingredients and expert dermatologists with intense experience in the field. ELEMIS tastes its products with passion and patience. Yes, all skincare companies do taste their products, but there is a huge difference between a company that taste in hurry to have the product in the market and a company who takes time to reach the perfect formula!
