Discovering Antipodes Skincare


A few days ago I went to Paris for a week. I was so excited about this trip! 
Since I moved to Spain in December 2015 I never had the opportunity to go back. During this spring break I had a blast and I was so happy to spend time with my friends and my boyfriend's family whom I adore. 
On the last day of my stay, during a long stroll across the 6th and 7th districts I went to the cutest natural beauty shop called "Oh! My Cream". If you ever go to Paris and you are a self-confessed beauty addict like me, don't miss out this little gem. Inside you can find the best selection of organic and natural beauty brands that are more niche than the average. I'm a very curious person, I really get very excited about new things and Antipodes Skincare is one of those brands that has been on my list of beauty products I would like to try. 
Recently, I have been loving more and more organic silicon and paraben free ingredients. Life it's a balance and I don't waive to very sophisticated and advanced science, but sometimes natural formulas full of actives are as effective and less harsh than others that are actually full of fillers and preservatives.

First things first, what is Antipodes? It's an organic, natural and cruelty free brand from New Zealand inspired by the power of its unique biodiversity. I was very tempted to buy everything, but just chose two products instead that I really needed.

Antipodes Avocado Pear Nourishing Cream

This cream is a dream really, it's sensational like whipped cream. My face feels so comfortable, restored and nourished when I apply it before going to bed. The formula is thick and very soft, but absorbs very nice for its consistency. It has a heavenly scent due to the organic essential oils blended inside this concoction: ylang ylang, sandalwood leaf and jasmine. Pure happiness for your senses! The formula is the result of the blend of restorative ingredients. The avocado oil helps to hydrate the skin increasing the collagen production that makes the skin more supple. The Manuka honey has antibacterial properties that promote a fresh and blemish free complexion. The last key ingredient is vinaza grape that that improves firmness and restores the damage caused by free radicals. If you want to wake up with a fairy glow, a hydrated and plumped baby face, this night cream will be great for you.

Hosanna H2O Intensive Skin-Plumping Serum

This award-winning serum is a powerful defense against the visible oxidative stress on your skin caused by the overexposure to the sun, stress, bad diet, lack of sleep, smoking, alcohol, too much exercise, pollution and even some medications. I don't know about you, but I'm obsessed with the wreak havoc that can cause some external factors that I can't control, so I try as hard as I can to have the best diet and to treat topically my skin with potent products that fight against these multiple aggressors.
 The lightweight formula of Antipodes Hosanna serum is a shot of anti-aging boosters for your skin. It contains Vinaza, an antioxidant extract of grape from sustainable plantations. Another two super ingredients of this formula are Waiwera Artesian Water rich in beneficial minerals and Mamaku Black Fern, a bioactive from New Zealand that helps to accelerate cell renewal. This watery serum absorbs very very fast and you can even apply two layers if your skin is in the need of an extra dose of daily hydration. You can wear this during the day or at night. It has a slightly tingling sensation, but disappears after one minute after the application. This doesn't bother me at all, as all of my most effective elixirs in my skincare collection tend to produce to me this little reaction (naturals and not so naturals). After three weeks in a row slathering on my face this product I have noticed that my skin tone has improved and my complexion is more radiant and looks healthier.
