First of all, it comes in pretty packaging which is always a good start...

Magnitone Barefaced Facial Cleanse & Tone

After an overnight charge, it comes with a handy micro USB lead with a magnetic charger that just sits on top of the Magnitone to charge (OK, I admit I did spend a few minutes looking for a hole for the charging lead to go) I was ready to get to work!  After a quick check of the instructions, which are super user friendly, I jumped in the shower and got to work.  The beauty of this little tool is it can be used in the shower, so no faffing about washing your face separately, and you just use it with your usual facial cleanser. 

Easy to understand guide

There are two settings, you simply press once for daily cleanse and twice for toning.
Then you just let it do its magic!  Just like with an electric toothbrush, you don't need to apply any pressure, you just let it vibrate and gently exfoliate. 

I tend to get blocked pores around my nose and chin so the Magnitone is perfect as it gets deeper into your pores without the need to scrub the life out your face! 

Once you're done, simply rinse, and dry.  The Magnitone comes with a little case which is ideal for nights away.  I then just apply toner and moisturiser as I normally would.  The charge seems to last a while, I've only charged once since I got it and brushes only need changing every few months- so low maintenance. 

"ooh did you really mean to stare at my bottom?"

I've been using the Magnitone for a few days now, and can definitely see an improvement in my skin.  It is definitely brighter and smoother.  I will be continuing to use this simply because it's sooo easy and hassle free to use.  By Christmas I hope my skin will be as shiny a bauble!

This would be a perfect Crimbo present, and perhaps something we'd not necessarily buy for ourselves.  Saying that, there is currently £10 off when you buy online at Boots.

Hey that tickles. No, wait, it tingles. Or is it burning? Well, at least that means it's working, right?

I am sitting here trying out a Fresh Start face mask by Skyn, an Icelandic skincare company. This product promises to reveal my skin's luminous, youthful (ahem) translucence with just a 10 minute weekly treatment.













Sounds great in theory, so I am testing it out with high hopes. But right now, it's kind of burning my face, so it may be time to wash it off!

The instructions say to wipe off the mask with a soft cloth but I don't have one to hand so I'm just using water and my fingers like a pro.

I'm not going to post a photo of the result as every pic I've taken so far makes me look terrible (not because my face burned off fortunately). But actually in person my skin does have a nice glow. And after moisturising, the 'tingling' has stopped.

At £25 for 6 masks this isn't the cheapest product, however it does feel good quality and is worth an occasional treat if you don't have the cash to spend £25 every 6 weeks on just a face mask.

Find out more about this and other Skyn products on their website, and buy it at Marks & Spencer.
