An Introduction to Eve Lom

Eve Lom is a brand that I just came across recently and from the very first product I was hooked. Here, I look at a couple of their most renowned products and fill you in on why they are cult classics.

Eve Lom's products really are a thing to behold and their famed Cleanser really is a wonder. You have to try it to really understand why there is so much fuss about a simple cleanser but simple it is not and little pot of magic is a lot more suitable description. Everything I have tried from the brand is the best version of each particular product on the market and here I take a look at the Eve Lom Cleanser, Kiss Mix lip balm and the Morning Time Cleanser. Once you discover the brand it's very hard not to want to try everything they produce to be quite honest and see what other wonders they are capable of.

Cleanse Up Your Act: The Best Cleansers from Eve Lom, Bioderma, Kiehl's and L'Occitane

Strange as this sounds to some, cleansing is one of the most overlooked but important steps in your skincare regime and having the right cleansing routine and products can make the biggest difference in the quality of your skin and how well the other products you use work. Here are the very best cleansers I've comes across from Kiehl's, Eve Lom, L'Occitane, and Bioderma.

This might sound a bit obvious but it's only been in recent times I've truly become aware of the skin sins so many people commit and one of the biggest mistakes of all is underestimating the power a good cleanser has on your skin and the difference it makes to find one that suits you and that you use on an every day basis. A shocking amount of people go to bed without taking off their makeup and so many people apply products without cleansing first which means you get a lot less out of the serums and moisturisers you use. Investing in a decent cleanser can actually transform your skin and I swear by this selection of tried and tested products which have, in different ways, all made such a noticeable difference to the quality of my skin over the past few years.

Lip Service: The Best Lip Balms From Kiehl's, Eve Lom, Nuxe, Cowshed and Vaseline

If you're anything like me the recent dip in temperature and extremely wintery conditions have left you with quite put-upon skin and very chapped lips. After a lot of trialling various lip saviours I decided to share my findings of the most effective - and some darn right luxurious - lip balms I have discovered from Kiehl's, Eve Lom, Nuxe, Cowshed and, let's not forget, good old Vaseline!

We all know the trials and tribulations your skin goes through during extreme weather conditions, especially in recent times when here in Ireland, Europe and not to talk of the "Snowcopalypse" in New York, we've experienced cold so severe it actually hurts whatever area of skin you haven't been able to cover up. Add to that the extremes of going from below freezing temperatures straight into central heating and open fires and there's no time of the year that puts your skin under so much duress. No two areas feel these extremes more than lips and hands and I've gone through a lot of chapped lips and uncomfortably dry hands to find the best products to tackle these problems! I've already compiled my all time favourite hand-saving products here and now it's time for some lip remedies!
