Spring is in the air and with it the promise of warmer, more optimistic days ahead. I know the brighter, warmer weather makes me feel happier and more energised and I love the products I use to reflect that. Elemis have launched two incredible collections to put a pep in your step and leave your skin looking and feeling beautiful. The Elemis QVC April Todays Special Value really is something special.
With a choice of two Quintessentially British aromatics, theses are your perfect Staycation collections. Featuring hero products from the Award Winning Pro-Collagen range and body-care favourites from the Sea Lavender and Samphire collection or British Botanicals collection, you really are being spoilt.
Each collection contains the following Pro-Collagen hero’s :
Pro-Collagen Energising Marine Cleanser 150ml
Pro-Collagen Energising Marine Cleanser is a beautifully fresh, lightweight gel based cleanser. It works incredible alone but used after the Pro-Collagen Water Mint Balm makes a stunning Double Cleanse and we all know we should be Double Cleansing to thoroughly remove dirt, excess oil, cleanse, nourish and energise the skin. With the most delightful, light aromatic of Rose and Mimosa, this cleanser is a joy to use both morning and evening as part of your skincare ritual. The gel texture glides into a beautiful light lather when massaged onto damp skin and cleans away excess oil, make up, dirt, SPF and daily grime. Suitable for all skin types, this feels light, cooling and fresh on the skin.
Containing a complex of Vitamin Enriched Seaweeds including Padina Pavonica, that unique brown Mediterranean Algae ( that has beneficial moisturising properties), Minerals and Acids – Succinic, Lactic and Ferulic this cleanser leaves the skin feeling incredibly soft, smooth and supple after use. The Acids are amazing at balancing, hydrating and protecting the skin and work wonderful on all skin types especially the more mature, seeing those fine lines and wrinkles. Packed full of Zinc and Copper Peptides and Amino Acids this has the ability to fight against those fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a smoother, brighter, clean appearance with an incredible glow! It is just beautiful!
NEW Pro-Collagen Renewal Serum 15ml
I am sooooo excited about this product! This incredible new launch from Elemis has got the beauty industry buzzing and I can absolutely see why! Pro-Collagen Renewal Serum is a Retinol alternative facial serum. Now look, I am a huge Retinol Fan and use it regularly, but sometimes they can leave the skin dry, parched and a little sensitive. This product does none of those things and achieves incredible results. Expertly formulated to feel light on the skin, this concentrated serum improves the skins clarity, tone and texture, targets fine lines and wrinkles, improves sun damage, refines the look of pores and gets deep into the lower level of the Dermis.
I am thrilled with the look of my skin after using this product. It has a glow about it and looks more youthful. As this is not a Vitamin A derived product their is no photo sensitivity with this and you can apply it both day and night and achieve exceptional results. Containing a blend of Padina Pavonica and Red Microalgae, plus Alfalfa and Stevia extracts this serum hydrates the skin whilst achieving exceptional results.

*Never allow the dropper to touch your skin
*Independent Clinical Trials 2020. Results based on 37 people over 4 weeks.
**Independent User Trials 2020. Results based on 37 people over 4 weeks.
This serum is suitable for all skin types and ages and fits in with any skincare regime, plus this product is worth £70 which makes the price of this collection outstanding.
Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30
I am so happy that my favourite daily moisturiser is included in this collection. Regular readers and followers of mine will know I have a almost 30 year love affair with Elemis because of the Pro-Collagen Range. It just makes the skin look youthful, feel hydrated, plump and glowing. This best selling cream has been clinically proven to reduce the depth of wrinkles and improve hydration and firmness in the skin in fourteen days! If you have often wondered why there is so much hype around this product, its because it works. I never get bored of seeing the constant improvement, hydration and glow that it brings to my skin. The inclusion of SPF 30 is something Elemis spent years trying to perfect. They still wanted their cream to have that same lightweight feel and texture of the original and it does. Containing both UVA and UVB broad spectrum protection against burning and ultra violet rays, this Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF30 is still incredibly lightweight, beautifully cooling when applied and immediately gets to work at plumping and hydrating mature skin types.
Perfect for all skins, whether they be dry, dehydrated, combination or oily due to the magical blend of the Mediterranean Algae Padina Pavonica, Ginko Biloba, Mimosa and Rose absolute, it adds hydration but not oiliness. It nourishes and feeds the skin all day long without creating any shine, and makes a wonderful base for make up and doesn’t leave any white cast.
As I mentioned above, each of your Collections contain the Pro-Collagen products, you just have to make your choice of aromatic. The green collection is the British Botanicals and the Blue collection ( my personal favourite) is the Sea Lavender and Samphire range.
British Botanicals collection comes with a Green bag and includes the products above as well as –
British Botanicals Bath & Shower Milk 300ml
The Elemis British Botanicals range is highly converted as it is not an aromatic we often see. usually saved for Limited Edition collections it is such a treat to have this again. The Elemis Bath & Shower Milks are my absolute favourites and I have one in every Aromatic so to add this back is a real treat. Idyllic British countryside Aromatics of Lavender, Rosemary, Geranium, Lemon, Thyme, Chamomile and oats enriched in Vitamin E make this a fresh, bright, non – cloying, light, almost effervescent aromatic that hydrates, conditions, cleanses and brightens the skin whilst leaving it delicately coated in the aroma. This is the most perfect Summer fragrance and one I love to use in the shower in the mornings to energise me and bring Clarity of mind or of an evening after a day in the sunshine.
Breathe it in, Sit back, relax and think of England.
British Botanical Body Cream 100ml
This skin softening body cream is full of Milk Proteins, Chamomile, Lavender Rosemary and oils to leave the skin with the most beautiful sheen. Breathing in this Aromatic brings clarity to the mind whilst the body cream balances, calms and nourishes the skin. The inclusion of the Lavender is so clever in that is smells modern and fresh rather than that sleepy scent you would usually associate Lavender with. Beautiful on the whole body, shoulder, shins and décolletage.
Sea Lavender & Samphire collection comes with a Blue bag and includes the Pro-Collagen Products listed above as well as –
Sea Lavender & Samphire Bath & Shower 300ml
As many of you know, the Sea Lavender and Samphire range from Elemis is my absolute favourite Aromatic. When I first tried it back in 2017 – I was smitten. For me, the Beach, the Sea, it’s my sanctuary, its where I feel most relaxed, happy, at ease and also where I now live.
The moment you smell this intoxicating scent you will be whisked away to a beautiful sunny day, walking along a glorious British beach with Lavender along the beach wall and Sea Salt in the air. This scent just makes me so happy, it is refreshing, inspiring and uplifting and absolutely perfect for the promise of sunny Spring and Summer days. Sea Lavender grows in muddy beach pools and flowers in bright blue, lilac and pink. It flourishes in harsh conditions and is resistant to dehydration meaning it offers a nourished feel to the skin. Samphire is the edible coastal plant that is amazing for its vitamin C properties and mineral content. Together these protect against free radicals, offer the skin a deep cleanse, and an uplifting shower experience! It comes in a very pretty bottle with flip top lid. Apply over your wet body in the shower and experience the delicate, soft foamy bubbles or add 2-3 capfuls to a lovely warm bath. Bliss….
Sea Lavender & Samphire Body Cream 100ml
Full of the same benefits included in the shower milk above, this body cream feels incredibly light and fresh on the skin. Containing Macadamea Oil it leaves the skin looking hydrated and nourished and feeling soft. I have quite hairy arms…don’t judge…but this massages in quickly and easily. The scent it leaves behind is a beautiful Citrus Sea Salt that uplifts my senses immediately and makes me feel so happy. Incredibly unisex this is brilliant for the whole family. I’m praying Elemis eventually make this into a room spray.
Each Elemis QVC April Todays Special Value comes with a fantastic cosmetics bag, that is completely waterproof and comes in handy for so many things. These collections are incredible value. I think that with us having Staycations this year there really is something for everyone. Indulge your mind body and senses with the English Countryside British Botanicals aromatics or take yourself away to the British Coastline and indulge in the Sea lavender and Samphire Aromatic for some well deserved “Me Time”. Which ever collection you choose, your skin will thank you for it.
The Elemis QVC April Todays Special Value is available exclusively at QVCUK HERE on pre-sale from Monday 5th April with the Launch day being Sunday 11th April. This collection is worth £206.00 but will be available HERE for just £66.95 and also available on 5 monthly payments. Wow wow wow!!
How will you choose? I would love to know which collection… British Botanicals or Sea Lavender & Samphire floats your boat! Will you be purchasing the Elemis QVC April Todays Special Value?
