Qure Micro Infusion System Honest Review

Qure Micro Infusion System Honest Review

We’re all seeking products that work right? Let me show you how I reduce the appearance of fine lines, redness and pigmentation at home perfect for this time poor 52 year old woman! In this video you'll see me using the Qure Micro Infusion System for the first time, with my honest initial thoughts. You’ll get 10% off this beauty with my Code! Use the link below https://www.qureskincare.com/AMANDA71468 This is Qure's micro infusion facial system. It might look familiar to you as it’s widely reviewed by many leading dermatologists. I've got the 3 month pack. Inside the pack there are: 2 different treatment serums, one for rejuvenation and the other hydra soothing, and 24k gold plated sterile disposable needle heads which help to infuse the goodness of the serums into your skin. I’m using the hydra soothing serum to instantly plump and deliver glowing skin. Pour the serum into the little bottle, turn it upside down for a few minutes so the serum has time to infuse into the needles, and gently stamp it on to clean skin. Gently working from the inside of your face to the outer perimeters, overlapping ever so slightly. Go slowly and be gentle. If you’re a bit nervous about needles (I know I am!) don’t worry, the gold plated sterile needles are thinner than human hair, making Qure’s micro infusion facial system comfortable to use. There are definitely zones that feel a little more zingy like the upper lip, and eye area, but it doesn’t hurt. And yes, you’ll definitely look flushed but most of the redness goes away in a few hours, I used a light dusting of mineral powder foundation to go out that night! By day 2 I had no redness and day 3 my skin looked plumper, glowier and more hydrated. My skin already feels smoother, plumper and looks more even. I'm looking forward to continuing with this system, using the micro infusion every fortnight, over 12 weeks. I particularly love the "stamping action" it feels safer to use, and the individual sterile, disposable 0.5 needle heads mean you're getting maximum effect from every use (ie dermal rollers needles get blunt with use and are not sterile). So I personally like the safety of this at home system. To get 10% off use the link below https://www.qureskincare.com/AMANDA71468 And let me know how you get on! I'll check back in after the 3 months to share my results and let you know how I go! Amanda x

Why should you double cleanse?

Why should you double cleanse?

Are you watering a dead plant? We know how futile THAT is right? Clean skin not only enables your serums and moisturisers to be more effective, using the right products to double cleanse can do a whole lot more. Oily skin and combo skin girlies listen up. The benefits of a double cleanse: 1. Replenishes essential lipids, oils and prevents moisture loss (when you use the right formula cleansers for you) 2. Removes sunscreen, and even waterproof/ heavy duty makeup 3. Helps to balance oil production without depleting your skins natural oils (that it needs to function and repair) * when you choose the right formula for your skin! 4. Improves skin texture and treats your skin * when you choose the right formula There’s a theme to this isn’t there? The key is to not strip your skin of essential oils it actually needs to balance, repair and heal. 🔗 I’ve linked these Beauties from La Mav Organic below The Marula Cleansing Oil - only catch, you’ll be addicted it’s amazing for ALL skin types! All year around. https://shop.amandaramsay.com.au/products/lamav-marula-cleansing-oil Sweet Orange Balancing Cleanser ideal for oily to combo skins (and Tweens/Teens!) https://shop.amandaramsay.com.au/products/la-mav-balancing-cleanser Chapter 1 of my Makeup Course for women over 40, Ageless Beauty, walks you through the key steps for prepping and looking after your skin.

Makeup made easy how to get a more even skin tone that glows

Sometimes less really is more. Prioritisng a more even skin tone that glows, and pairing it with a fresh pop of peach blush and a defined brow can be all a girl needs this time of year.
