I have developed a little crush on
something. For once it is does not have red soles, but comes in a little blue-ish,
glassbottle, and is so much better than any vertiginous shoes. The object of my
affections is Neal’s Yard Beauty Sleep Concentrate, and oh my gosh it does what
it says on the tin (or bottle). No, I didn’t wake up looking like Giselle, but
equally I didn’t have to say good morning to Quasimodo while brushing my teeth
this morning. For once, my skin
looked bright and fresh with far fewer fine lines, rather than dull and puffy.
It had a glow to it (the sort of glow I keep people say pregnant people get,
but has passed me by without a look in), and looked healthy and rested. Very
unusual, and slightly suspect. Ordinarily I would assume it was packed with
chemicals and probably causing premature ageing or something nasty while giving
me a short term boost. But no, this product is all natural and full of nice
things (like Chinese Sacred Lily, how amazing does that sound? Definitely
better than Polyethylene Glycol).
Unlike my perception of some natural
products, this one is based on very sensible science, and lots of research. It
uses bio-active tri-peptides to help boost collagen production while you sleep
(which is when your skin repairs), so you wake up looking amazing. What more
can you ask for? Well, something that smells nice? Tick! This product smells
gorgeous, very fresh and lightly citrusy (that’ll be the orange oil). And how
about being easy on your budget? Tick! It is not quite give away, but at £30,
it lasts for ages as you only need one pump to cover key face areas (I avoid my
nose which doesn’t need extra moisture), and is certainly cheaper than Guerlain’s
Midnight Secret, which was my go-to overnight product but cost £65.
I cannot think of a better present for a
mum-to be than beauty sleep in a bottle. This is one product that absolutely
lives up to its name!
