Pampering

I’m always keen to find new products that care about the environment.  The good news is there are a lot of products out there and new ones being developed all the time.  It’s getting easier and easier to shop in an ethical way and that certainly feels good.  Clear Confidence recently got in touch with me to tell me about their products. Clear Confidence is a company that specialises in vegan-friendly and plastic-free products, care about the health of the planet just as much as they care about personal health.

Focusing on delivering high quality personal care products that abide by ethical and environmental obligations, Clear Confidence pride themselves on assuring customers that their supporting a sustainable business practice.  Clear Confidence are a vegan business that doesn’t support animal products or animal testing.  This can be seen by their men’s shaving brush, which uses grass-based bristles instead of the usual badger or boar hair. Not only does it support ethical business, but the grass base ensures more exfoliation and less irritation on the skin. The grass bristles feel pleasant to the touch on the skin.  The brush carries the soap well and does a great job of spreading the product over the face.  So far it’s looking good after use too.

As well as being vegan-friendly, Clear Confidence’s products are also 100% plastic-free.  Their razor, with a handle made of bamboo, uses high-quality, double-edged blades that cost much less than the standard plastic-built razor blades, while their nail files are 100% stainless steel and offer longer-lasting use with ergonomic handles.  The razor has a good weight and is pleasant to hold and use.  The blades glide across the skin to ensure a smooth, close shave.

I’ve teamed up with Clear Confidence to offer a male grooming bundle of a plastic-free shaving brush, plastic-free safety razor and shaving bar to one lucky reader.

Clear Confidence

Just before lockdown I booked in to have my second ENVY facial at Metrospa in Edgbaston.  For those not familiar with ENVY facials, it’s the only face and body skin resurfacing treatment to effectively exfoliate and extract damaged skin cells gently and deliver infusion into the skin at the same time. This is thanks to its patented breakthrough 3-in-1 technology. ENVY drives serums deeper into the skin at the same time as it is exfoliating and extracting. This means that maximum depth is reached with maximum absorption of the serums. The 3-in-1 technology removes dry and damaged skin cells, deep cleanses the skin surface and directly cleanses the pores.

Having the ENVY facial just at that point really set me and my skin up for lockdown.  It gave me confidence in my skin and much of the time in lockdown I didn’t bother with makeup.  So now lockdown is over, it seems like the perfect treatment for a little skin pick me up, as both a confidence boost and to help my skin cope with the ravages of everyday life.  Of course, it’s only one of a range of treatments available at both Metrospa in Edgbaston and Dermoperfection in Birmingham city centre.  Thankfully both Metrospa and Dermoperfection are now reopen after lockdown and are offering their usual range of treatments.  Pop along to Dermoperfection for all your aesthetics needs or to Metrospa for aesthetics and spa treatments.

There’s always a friendly welcome to be had when you arrive for a treatment and Metrospa is comfortably and stylishly decorated, so it’s very much a pleasant place to spend time.  New treatments are regularly being introduced so you can have access to the latest skin care innovations. Maybe you’d like a Profhilo® treatment to give your skin some TLC. Profhilo® is a revolutionary ‘beneath the skin’ hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment, made with the patented NAHYCO® technology. This results in a unique hyaluronic acid injectable gel, which has a prolonged stimulating activity on the dermal cells. When injected into skin, Profhilo stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin.

Or maybe you’d be tempted by ULTRAcel Q+ which is a new type of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) that promotes the formation of new collagen, suppression of stubborn fat cells, and skin tightening in various parts of the body.  It’s a great way to enhance the tone of your jawline, but you can have the treatment on a range of areas of your body and face.

It’s great to see a local business coming back strongly after lockdown and I think that the innovative approach will be a successful one.
