Beauty Pick of the Month – January 2015

It’s that time of the month again when I pick my favourite product which I received in one of my many beauty boxes. January’s showstopper was the miraculous wonder serum, HealGel Intensive which I received in my Birchbox and it’s a true skin rescuer in every form.

Subscribing to beauty boxes really pushes me to road test what products work best for my oily and spot prone skin. Prior to this I never really thought about changing my go-to brand despite my skin not responding as well as it use to. Over the last year or so my skin has been breaking out in spots more than usual and along came a sample of the HealGel Intensive from January’s Birchbox which for me is a game changer when it comes to my skincare woes.

HealGel is a brand I’ve heard of previously and it’s collection of products features glowing reviews from bloggers especially the HealGel Intensive and I couldn’t wait to try it out. Although the sample was teeny it surprisingly lasted around ten days which was enough to really get a feel of the product and it’s effectiveness.

HealGel Intensive is a scientifically-designed, multi-purpose, skin rescue gel designed by plastic surgeons and brings an intelligent approach to skincare. HealGel Intensive unites the finest active ingredients to soothe, restore and protect your skin in a light, delicately scented and easily absorbing cooling aqueous gel to restore and protect the areas where it is most needed. As well as it’s super-charged formula this light-weight serum also doubles up as a primer and it’s consistency is perfect for achieving a smooth canvas, my foundation just glides over this.

Although this is a serum type product I use this in the morning without having to use any moisturiser on top. My oily skin literally drinks this up straight away and my skin is left feeling refreshed, soothed and hydrated. It’s also great as an on-the-spot treatment and really helps calm the area as well as aiding the healing process. It also helps to fade any scarring which is something I’ve noticed too whilst using this. The scent of this gel is a great pick me up for the mornings, it’s truly divine with it’s soothing and calming notes. I’ve really fallen head over heels for the HealGel Intensive and it’s a brand which truly delivers on its philosophy. The HealGel Intensive is available via the Birchbox Shop for £37.50 (30ml)
