The decolletage is usually an area we forget to take care of, but by not taking care of it, it could actually age us!
This area only has a thin layer of skin to protect it compared to other parts of the body. Due to this, the skin here is prone to sun damage which is a main factor in speeding up the ageing process... to help soothe your skin and also stimulate the production of collagen, a simple spritz or two of the Face Matters All-Day Spritz is a great way to help keep this area looking youthful and fresh. Don't forget to spritz the face and neck for an instant refreshment.
When life gives you lemons what do you do? Add a slice into your glass of water of course!
Lemons are packed with nutrients and vitamins that the body needs, this is why adding a slice to your water in the morning can give you all the things you need to kick start the day!
Not only does this help to freshen your breath and lose weight, it also gives your body and skin a cleanse by flushing toxins out of the body. This helps the liver detox your organs... even including your skin - lemon juice gives you a quick shot of vitamin C, which helps increase collagen productions, leading to fewer wrinkles, blotches and spots!
So next time you grab a glass of water... why not add a small lemon slice to it!
If your skin is feeling dull, tired and down then don't worry we have the perfect product to give you that radiant glow!
Our Anti-Ageing Collagen Elixir is a unique and potent formula of botanical oils and pure mineral collagen. Every ingredient in this product has been chosen with precision to the needs of ageing skin. It will help to stimulate the natural production of collagen in the skin and also soothe any irritations.
This is perfect for those with ageing skin and want to prevent any further ageing signs, it will leave your skin soft, smooth, nourished and appear more radiant, while having that youthful glow.
Collagen and elastin is important to give the skin strength and that youthful look. It's the glue that holds our muscle tissue together.
Collagen accounts for around 30 - 45% of the body's protein, it's the essential structural component of all connective tissue and it makes up approximately 75% of the body's skin tissue. As a result, the depletion of collagen can lead to wrinkles and the appearance of ageing. Research does suggest that the collagen levels in our skin start to deplete at the age of 25 and by the time we reach the age of 40 we have lost a third of our collagen.
This is why adding collagen back into your skin is vital to slow down the process of ageing. Using Face Matters products can help as the organic silicon in each of our products has been modified to allow deep absorption which stimulates the production of collagen and elsatin naturally.
Want to read more about how Face Matters works? Well why not head here to find out how.
All Face Matters products share one essential ingredient - pure organic silicon.
This helps stimulate production of Collagen... a protein in our skin, which is mainly made of silicon. What is silicon? Well it's the 'glue' that holds us together and it is the answer to healthier, younger looking skin. If our body has enough silicon, the collagen will make us look younger! As we age, the source of silica becomes exhausted resulting in wrinkles and dry skin - so building up on those silicon levels and stimulating collagen production is the key to maintaining a healthy youthful complexion.
But how do you actually stimulate collagen? Well every beauty expert will know that unfortunately you can't just apply some collagen cream and expect it to magically work! This is because it doesn't go deep enough into your skin due to the molecule itself being too big.
The reason that Face Matters is successful is that the liquid (Spritz) and gel (Balm and Elixir) organic silicon in each of the three hero products has been modified, (the hydroxide group of molecules is replaced by a methyl group and this provides the silicon molecule with properties that allow it to be absorbed into cells) and it is this deep absorption which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin naturally.

The influence of the Swinging Sixties on spring/summer 2013's catwalk beauty was apparent everywhere from Louis Vuitton to Chanel, with graphic liner, pale lips and strong brows complementing the boxy silhouettes and short hemlines in the collections.
But this was a youthful and girlish take on Sixties beauty, with pouting nude lips paired with liner in the crease of the eye lids at Marc Jacobs, and silver eyes at Chanel looking like they came straight out of Andy Warhol's Factory. Glossy peach eyes at Louis Vuitton modernised the look, whilst the bold swoops of eye liner at Michael Kors were updated in aquamarine and acid green. And, for full-on Sixties style, the Moschino models wore their lips dripping with orange gloss and their eyes framed by Bambi lashes - an undeniable homage to that heady decade.
Keep the look classic, with a simple pale pink lip, lined eyes and lashings of mascara. Remember to set the look with a spritz of the Face Matters Collagen Spritz!
Last year's boy brow becomes this year's man brow at Chanel's Haute Couture autumn/winter 2013 show. Longer, thicker, darker, heavier - Chanel introduces the power brow.
Sheer size and width aside, these brows dictate a new shape. Straight (there was little or no arch) and angular (pulling the eyes up and out) is, say Chanel, how we'll be wearing them next season.
To get the high brow look our advice is to start using a lash boosting gel now; try RapidBrow Eyebrow Enhancing Serum , £37 or good old fashioned almond oil nightly. And get your eye in for some real brow grooming (after all, these models had them drawn on too).
Finish off the look with minimal eye-makeup, as the real statement are the brows. Go for rose cheek bones and finish off with a Face Matters Collagen Spritz , £39, to set the look. (you can now win one on Twitter too!)

This summer brings punchy, vibrant shades that really make an impact. Make your own sunshine with fruity, colour pop shades. L'Oréal Parisí new Color Riche nail collection is perfs whatever the weather, style it up and clash your jolly neons with a pattern mix. Absolutely love this feature, these L'Oréal nails are the epitome of summertime! (via ASOS.com)
What's yo' fave?
Anything but girly, this season pink packs a punch with vibrant, all-over colour. Flamingoes, Miami Beach houses and cheesy sunsets capture the fun and vibrance of this pink shade. Wear it.
These quirky and absolutely lovely designs go hand-in-hand (pun intended) with beautiful and smooth skin so I would recommend spraying some of our Collagen Spritz shortly after you have finished with the intricate design. Its light texture will help set the nail varnish quicker and make your skin appear visibly softer and moisturised.
This clean shade will keep you on your tic-tac-toes.
So, are you giving these designs a try? I know I am... I'll let you know how it goes.
Keeping your skin looking nourished, soft and alive can be quite tricky on holiday especially when the sun is beaming down on your face all day resulting in your skin becoming dry and dull, which is something no-one wants. Using the perfect face products is a must to keep your skin in the best condition, even better one the product is an ‘all in one’.
The Cleansing Balm is the perfect product to be beach ready. Not only is it a facial cleanser it includes Shea Butter which will leave your skin incredibly soft and smooth. Using this product will leave your skin looking radiant and refreshed perfect before hitting the beach.
Of course apply a layer of sun cream to protect yourself from any skin damage. And now you're ready to hit the beach.
These early days of warm weather mean a frightening display of pasty, pale legs and arms not yet primed by the summer sun..
Yes, we all look better with a tan (to a certain extent), but no, not all of us are capable of (/interested in) achieving such a beautiful glow at the beach. The good news is that’s not the only way to garner a sun-kissed look: the somewhat terrifying self-tanner is always an option. Leave it to YouTube beauty-application guru Miss Jessica Harlow to make a DIY neon-orange disaster seem an altogether unlikely possibility.
Step 1: Exfoliate! It will create a smooth surface for your self-tanner. We recommend lightly applying our Collagen Spritz on area before tanning - it will create a moisturised base for the self-tanner and help it set better. (see Twitter if you'd like to win one)
Step 2: Dry Off! “Wet skin and self-tanner do not mix!”
Step 3: Apply Self-Tanner—Apply a little at a time, moving hands in the same general direction for a more even finish
Step 4: Wash Your Hands—Wash after finishing each you part of your body (after each leg, arm, etc.), to prevent stained palms
Step 5: Apply Lotion—Using a lotion will help the product blend in with your skin as well as boost the longevity of your tan
Jessica’s quick tutorial only lasts two-and-a-half minutes, but she spends another four-and-a-half to address potential questions and concerns from her audience, plus to review the products she's recommending. And she certainly doesn’t seem like she would blend in with Snooki and co., so we’ll be taking her advice for this little (tan) lie to help us glow in our cut-offs.
Absolutely love there whimsical and very pretty 'Pop' design created by Jenny Longworth, Revlon UK Nail Ambassador. It's the perfect look for your nails on a weekend teamed with an elegant tea dress and stylish mid-heeled sandals, do you agree?
Jenny said: “I channeled my inner pop princess to bring a fun and playful vibe to this look. Using cult favorite Revlon nail enamel in ‘One Perfect Coral’ and creating a dotted design over the top kept the look young and fresh with bursts of bright colour.”
What I would add is once you've finished your design which looks fairly simple (don't expect to get it perfect on the first go and DIY tip - use a toothpick for the spots), wait a couple of minutes to dry and spray hands with our Pure Collagen Spritz, £39. It's not just for your face and neck - the lightweight formula will help set the nail varnish and make your skin super soft and rejuvenated. Oh, and we're currently giving 2 away on Twitter, how great is that!
