Review: Why You Need the Zudoya Rose Quartz Beauty Roller

Hope you guys have been enjoying my beauty posts because I have another one here for you today! Today I am reviewing for you the Zudoya Rose Quartz Facial Roller that I have been trying out in my night time routine over the past two weeks, I hope you guys enjoy!

First Impressions
The roller comes beautifully packaged in a little luxurious white box with satin fabric on the inside. The roller itself feels quite heavy too! I do have another facial roller that I purchased myself awhile ago, but it feels nowhere near as heavy and luxurious as this roller! I'm also obsessed with rose quartz and I found this roller to be very visually appealing.

How I Use the Zudoya Rose Quartz Beauty Roller
I use the beauty roller once a day, usually in my night time routine. When using the roller, I roll gently on my face in an upwards and outwards motion to encourage lymphatic drainage and counter-act the effects of gravity on my skin. I use the large end on my cheeks, chin and forehead and the smaller end under my eyes and over the bridge of my nose. I will also occasionally use the large end to roll on my neck in an upwards motion. Another great way I've used my roller a few times is by placing it in it's special plastic bag and putting it in the fridge for an hour so that is super cooling and soothing on my skin.

How I Incorporate My Zudoya Rose Quartz Beauty Roller into My Routine
I've been incorporating the beauty roller into my nighttime routine two different ways. I've been using it either after applying my facial serum or after applying my facial oil. I love applying it after serum as I feel it helps to blend and press the serum into my skin so that my skin absorbs my serum more quickly.

The other way I've been using the roller is after applying my night time moisturiser and facial oil to give my face a nice gentle massage. I find this technique is great for the end of a long day when you need a little stress relief. By using it this way I am also able to roll on my face for longer, as the oil takes much longer to absorb than a serum and this is at the end of my night time routine (my only other step is to apply a lip balm or lip mask). Both ways I find useful, and I like to mix it up between these two routines nightly.

My Favourite Serums and Oils to Use With the Zudoya Rose Quartz Beauty Roller
Some of my favourite serums to use with the beauty roller include Glossier Super Pure, Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Serum and the Youth to The People Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin C serum. Some of my favourite oils to roll into my skin include Drunk Elephant Marula Oil, Salt and Hendrix Mermaid Oil and Herbivore Phoenix oil.

The Results
One main benefit I've found while using the Zudoya Rose Quartz Beauty Roller is that my skin appears more toned, and the puffiness, particularly under my eyes has noticeably reduced. Every morning I also notice that I have less oil residue on my skin and my skin appears to be brighter and more moisturised.

Going beyond the skin, I also find that the daily massage to my facial muscles is amazing for helping to relieve tension in my face. I instantly begin to feel relieved of stress as my face begins to be soothed and massaged by the roller. I'm so glad I've been able to add this little procedure into my nightly routine!

My Final Thoughts
If you couldn't already tell, I am completely obsessed with the Zudoya Rose Quartz Beauty Roller and love how it is both great for my skin and great for switching off and releasing tension at the end of a long busy day. I highly recommend adding this step into your daily beauty routine! And if you'd like to check out the beauty facial rollers from Zudoya, simply click here! Do you use a beauty roller?

Skincare Review: Ocinium Ecdysis Bio-Ferment Enzyme Cleanse

Product Featured: Ocinium Ecdysis Bio-Ferment Enzyme Cleanse

Today I have a review for you guys featuring the Ecdysis Bio-Ferment Enzyme Cleanser by Ocinium.

And guys, I am actually very excited to talk about this cleanser. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm obsessed with a good skincare product that actually works the way it claims to. They would also know I'm a bit of a geek (you have to be if you're doing vet!) and love analysing and researching the ingredients in my skincare products and this gorgeous product was no exception.

First of all, the cleanser has a mild citrus scent which I really enjoy while using it wash my face. The packaging is absolutely beautiful, I love the black glass bottle! The instructions say to use on damp skin in circular motions and rinse, but you can also leave it on the face for 5 minutes for a mini mask to soak up all the powerful ingredients.

Some of the star ingredients include:

• Aloe vera leaf juice - amazing for hydration!
• Glycerin - another great hydrating ingredient that also facilitates the absorption of serums that you might apply after the cleanser.
• Lactobacillus fruit ferment extracts - Lactobacillus bacteria assist in the fermentation process of papaya and coconut to produce fruit enzymes that work as natural chemical exfoliants to the skin, leaving your skin bright an glowing. The Lactobacillus bacteria also act as a probiotic for the skin. One recent study from 2017 has shown the Lactobacillus group of bacteria to have antimicrobial properties when applied topically to the skin, meaning these good bacteria aid in eliminating nasty pimple-causing pathogens (organisms such as bacteria and fungi that cause disease) and help to correct dysbiosis (an imbalance in the skin's natural flora). What an amazing little organism!
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) - known to help clear up any nasty blemishes. One study has also shown that Niacinamide helps to prevent scarring due to pimples.

After using this cleanser for the past month now, I can report that the combination of powerful ingredients has left my skin glowing and radiant. The number of pimples around my chin and on my cheeks has also significantly reduced. The texture of my skin is smooth and the redness from my recent blemishes has slowly faded.

If you're looking for a cleanser, or any skin care products to combat problem skin but are also natural and incoporate organic ingredients, I highly recommend checking out Ocinium's beautiful products! I have another review of their Immortelle Vitamin B3 Serum, which I also recommend. Click here for my review of this product too!

I hope this review was helpful and informative for you guys! I hope I didn't get too carried away in the science of it all for you. Let me know in the comments below, what is your current favourite cleanser? Would you like to try this cleanser from Ocinium?
