High standard and renown cosmetic labels have been searching the ocean for many years in order to uncover skin revitalising elements. The high street brand Boots are one such label that have managed to do just this and only recently announced the launch of its Aqua Balance skincare range.

Specialists have been creating Aqua Balance for over a time of two years. The team at Boots initially began by researching the French beauty industry as they saw that skincare regimes in this part of the world were in fact in place from a very young age as this in turn prevents skincare complaints later in life.

In the UK a less preventative approach to skincare seems to be in place as we tend to deal with problems in our skin when and as they appear. This is why Boots have launched the Aqua Balance range as they wish to update and change this approach to skincare.

Brands such as Vichy, La Roche Posay and Avene all use one particular element which comes in the shape of Thermal Spring Water, but Boots have decided to take a different approach by introducing Oligo sea salt minerals. They are therefore following in the footsteps of infamous brands such as Elemis and La Prairie who have been using marine elements such as algae for an extemely long time.

Every day environmental issues such as air conditioning, pollution and unhealthy diets are all relevent in causing outbreaks, dry patches and sensitivity. The skin friendly ingredient Aqua Balance works to prevent and repair such problems.

The Oligo sea salt minerals found in these products are all naturally occurring and work with any skin type in order to aid in balancing the complexion so skin wil feel and look happy and healthy, the minerals also help to soothe and calm the complexion.

The Aqua Balance range will be available online and instore from Monday 5 July and prices range from £10 to £15.

If you desire to extend and sepperate each individual lash in a subtle yet complimentary way then make-up brand Kiehl’s has some good news for you. Kiehl’s ‘Marvellous Mineral Mascara’ is the perfect choice for those with sensitive eyes and who prefer to use a natural product.

The Marvellous Mineral mascara houses an array of skin friendly ingredients that aid in creating both striking and dramatic lashes that in turn frame the eyes. The cosmetic brand Kiehl’s have created a mascara using only the finest natural ingredients, the formulation is made up of an array of mineral pigments, soothing Aloe Vera and skin beneficial vitamin E. These particular elements make this product both kind and gentle on the eyes yet the mascara is still able to create the illusion of fan like lashes.

The mineral pigments featured in the formula will add a natural and rich tint to the lashes whilst the Acacia Senegal ingredient will aid in volumising, extending and thickening the lashes. The formulation is both paraben-free and fragrance free and won’t cause clumps when applied to the lashes.
