Discover YOUR skin at The POND’S Institute

Did you know that just one hour of UV rays from your cell phone can cause dark marks to appear on your skin? Even scarier… The world we live in is becoming more and more toxic. Add to that, modern day living has left us more stressed, with bad eating habits and more exposed to pollution, sun damage and daily environmental aggressors; all of which can wreak havoc on your skin.

My Pond’s Age Miracle

My Pond’s Age Miracle

One of the greatest eye creams I’ve used has got to be the Age Miracle Dual Action Eye Cream from Pond’s. It’s a great duo eye cream that targets all “eye concerns” including; fine lines and wrinkles, crow’s feet and dark circles, all it’s packaged in one container. After being so impressed with the eye cream, I wanted to give the whole Age Miracle range a bash as a complete skincare system. After using the range for just over two weeks, day and night, I am happy to report that it’s a great skincare range, from a brand that has 150 years of research behind it. It’s no wonder millions of happy women, young and old all swear by Pond’s. As I am at an age where aging skin is a concern, I want to look younger for longer – who doesn’t? The Pond’s Age Miracle range combines 6 Youth Enhancing Bio-Actives that make your skin act younger, giving you the ability to “turn back the clock”, and look up to 10 years younger! All the products smell heavenly and leave my skin feeling soft and very subtle. From the cleanser right to the moisturizer. I am very fussy when it comes to cleansers. I believe your skin…

Product Review – Ponds Age Miracle Dual Eye Therapie

Product Review – Ponds Age Miracle Dual Eye Therapie

The other morning I ran out of my usual eye cream, so I decided to give the Ponds Dual Eye Therapie cream a bash. After all, I’ve heard such rave reviews about it, plus I was intrigued by the two creams in one bottle idea. It’s genius, but we’ll get into that a bit later. After having used it for about a week, I can totally see what all the fuss is about. It feels amazing and although I know it’s only been a week, I can see a difference, especially under my eyes. The skin there seems to be a lot smoother and feels as though its  filled up. I’m actually not scared to smile in the fear of my eyes crinkling up – which is so not a good look! The cream is divided into two, a yin and yang of products if you will. One is targeted for the upper eye area which helps to reduce lines and wrinkles and the other one helps to brighten up under the eye area. Although I don’t suffer from puffiness under my eyes, but rather have deep set European eyes that can tend to look dark, you can actually see…

Ponds Flawless Radiance – Blemish Prevention UV Cream Review

Ponds Flawless Radiance – Blemish Prevention UV Cream Review

Reviewed by: Louise T This product comes in a sweet little bottle, which I found great to keep in my handbag. So when I’m out in the sun, I can apply it to protect my skin. I’ve been using it every morning after cleansing with the rest of the Pond’s Flawless Radiance range. Read my review here Pond’s Flawless Radiance Blemish Prevention UV Cream is matt and doesnt make you look like an oily bag of chips, like a lot of sun protection products tend to do. It’s very lightweight, so you can’t even feel it on your face. It has a light perfumed smell and smells fresh and amazing. I read in a lot of magazines “If only I protected my skin from the sun”, so with this product, it’s never too early or too late to start protecting your skin. When I leave the house in the morning, rain or shine, I know I’m protected and won’t have to say “if only”, because this product gives me piece of mind against harmful skin damage on my face, which can lead to dark spots. Pond’s Flawless Radiance Blemish Prevention UV Cream is available at R89.99

MYTH: If you have dark skin you don’t really need sunscreen

MYTH: If you have dark skin you don’t really need sunscreen

PONDS FACT: Although dark skin does have a natural sun protection factor of around 13, there is still a need for sunscreen. Sun exposure can lead to premature aging, dark spots and skin cancer. In African women, exposure to the sun often results in dark skin patches. So what do you do to keep your skin glowing, flawless and radiant? Well Ponds suggest that you never leave home without your sunscreen – a great tip and one that every girl should follow. Unprotected exposure leads to the increased production and distribution of melanin pigments. Ponds have introduced a rock star product, part of their Flawless Radiance range (by the way Louise loved it so much, she’s gone and bought more and it’s now part of her daily skincare regime). Ponds Flawless Radiance Blemish Prevention UV Cream contains a built in SPF of 15, so you can enjoy a little more time out doors this summer. If you’ve tried this product or any others from the Flawless Radiance range, comment below and let us know what you think.

3 Steps to Flawless, Radiant Summer Skin

3 Steps to Flawless, Radiant Summer Skin

Is your skin in need of a little summer TLC? Ponds has the solution with this three step regime, best used with their Flawless Radiance collection.   1. Exfoliate During summer your skin may be prone to oiliness, so it is important to incorporate exfoliating into your skin care regime. Regular exfoliation renews the top layers of the skin, ensuring your skin looks clearer and brighter. For the ultimate convenience, use POND’S flawless radiance Even Tone Facial Foam. Enriched with VAO-B3 complex and soft micro-beads, it thoroughly exfoliates and washes away the dirt, oil and impurities that cause dullness, revealing bright sparkling skin underneath. 2. Tone Restore the pH balance of your skin by applying toner after cleansing. POND’S flawless radiance Bright and Fresh Even Tone Toner unclogs and refines pores to prepare skin for a moisturiser, while helping to visibly brighten and waken dull-looking skin. 3. Moisturize and Protect POND’S flawless radiance Blemish Prevention UV Cream with SPF 15 is the latest addition to the Pond’s Flawless Radiance collection and helps with those annoying skin spots. It offers four star protection against deep penetrating UVA and UVB rays, the main cause of dark spots, and thanks to VAO-B3, it not only…

Tried & Tested – Ponds Age Miracle

The Pond’s Age Miracle range is truley an affordable skin care solution that gives you great skin. We got one of our test bunnies, Shelley to take the range home with her, stick it on her bathroom counter and try it out every day and night for two weeks. Here’s what Shelley had to say about the five products she tried and tested. Age Miracle Daily Regenerating Facial Foam I train everyday and my skin is constantly put under stress from the environment. I found the facial foam to be so gentle and cleansing on my face removing all build from perspiration. Age Miracle Regenerate and Refine Cleansing Toner I found the toner really effective as part of my cleansing regime. It left my face feeling fresh and revitalized Age Miracle Concentrated Resurfacing Serum Love this! Apart from the divine smell, the texture of this serum is so silky smooth. My face instantly felt 5 years younger! Age Miracle Day Cream The day cream is light yet my skin feels moisturized all day. I really like the fact that there is a SPF15 included. Age Miracle Advanced Night Repair I suffer with serious skin dehydration caused by regular exercise. The intensity…
