Skin by DM Instagram Prize
Something a little bit different today, but very exciting! A few weeks ago, I was tagged in a post on Instagram by a friend. This post was a competition post by Skin by DM, who offer professional advice around your skin concerns or problems via an online platform.
The post simply asked for you to follow them, like the post, share to your story and tag 3 friends so I figured, why not? The prize was a Total Skincare Hamper in celebration of their first birthday. Imagine my surprise when I was contacted by them to tell me I had won!
Even though this isn't a subscription box, I wanted to do an unboxing and review to show you what I got.
The link to the video is here:
As this is not a subscription box, I won't go into as much detail about the items included, but I did want to show you all, and also give you more information about them!
Doesn't it all look gorgeous? I was absolutely blown away by the amount of goodies inside! The first couple of items were a homecare regime card and a free virtual skin consultation (which I have booked in for next saturday!) worth £30. I am always open to suggestions for how I can keep my skin healthy so I am looking forward to speaking with them to get their wisdom!
There were also a couple of items not listed in the post too- a compact mirror and a dual ended brush which will come in handy for applying masks as well as make up!
Next up was a cleanser from the brand Cantabria Labs, and it is worth £15. This is a gentle and purifying gel cleanser in a very generous size from a brand I have never heard of before. As you know, I love to discover new brands and products so this has gone right to the top of the list of things to try next!
There was also a Facial SPF by Heliocare, worth £31. This has SPF 50 and is tinted- which I prefer as I hate that greasy, white sheen that untinted sun creams leave behind. I use facial SPF every day so this will definitely come in handy!
I love using peel pads so I was delighted to see 2 packs of Alpharet peel pads by Skin Better Science included, with an RRP of £6. Each sachet contains 1 peel pad that can be used on the entire face to exfoliate the skin without any harsh abrasion. You can use these once a week.
I am a self confessed sheet mask addict, so I was so excited to see one inside! This one by Xcellaris Pro is worth £10 and provides intense hydration to the skin. I do tend to have issues with parched skin in the summer so this has come at the perfect time.
Up next, and the absolute star of the show, was the Skin Better Science Rejuvenate pack, worth a whopping £88! This includes a moisturiser, a line treatment serum and an eye cream. Whilst my skin is not showing any visible signs of ageing currently, I am 31 so I know that I need to start thinking about preventative measures so this is the perfect bundle to get me started! And how stunning does it look- photo spam incoming!
So just from a quick totting up of the RRP's (including the Skin consultation but not including the mirror or brush as I was unable to find RRP's for them), this prize was worth a staggering £180!
I have included a link to the Skin by DM website above but I just wanted to give you more information about them and what they do. Skin by DM is run by Dani, an aesthetician who will provide you with advice and education about your skin concerns and will help with any problem, including Acne, Blackheads, Pigmentation, Rosacea, Redness, Sensitivity, Dryness, Fine Lines and Wrinkles. Your journey to better skin will start with an online consultation (you can book this via their website), which will enable them to prescribe your own personal skincare routine or at home treatments using pharmaceutical grade results-driven products and devices. All your products and treatments purchased will then arrive in the post direct to your home.
When you book, you will be presented with an in depth online 'Skin Health' form to fill in, which provides them with more information about you and your skin. You will be sent booking confirmation and details for how to access the video call.
You will then have a live video consultation (so excited for mine!) to discuss your skin health form, educate you on all things skin and recommend a personalised routine. You will also have a 6 week check in to discuss your progress.
Consultations last approximately 30 minutes and are done via video call, so can be done from anywhere at a time to suit you.
They also have other services and products available on their website so do go and check them out!
Thank you so much Dani! I am embarking on a journey of self love so this will definitely come in handy!
