Every Spring sees us wanting to make change. Not only to our home or to our wardrobes but also to our skin. Going through any climate change whether it's Winter to Spring or Summer to Winter for instance, has us wanting to dusk off that bathroom shelf to make sure we are doing the very best that we can for our skin. You don't ever stop spring cleaning your home, do you? So don't stop with your skin.
I have received so many messages of late asking for help and advice on skincare routines and thanks to companies like Mintd Box, I get to test run the latest brands to determine whether or not I would recommend them and who it would be more suited to. In my job as a beauty blogger I graciously get a lot of skincare sent over to try seeing as it has been a huge part of my career and I always give brands a fair run which is then beneficial to us all.
With a teasing that Spring is 'around the corner' (err, still very questionable), Mintd Box are bringing the essential beauty tools for this necessary, spring cleaning step. It is time to get your Spring face on, comprising of some botanical bliss, a miracle moisturising gel cream, a powerful wrinkle eradicating mask and a facial polish that shall make your skin feel reborn. Sound good?

March Mintd Box, Spring Clean
I actually couldn't believe the value and the brands featured in this box because if you are into skincare and follow all the latest trends you will know how sought after all of them are. So let's get into them ....
March Mintd Box, Spring Clean, Su-Man Facial Polish
1. Su-Man Refining Facial Polish (Full Size £38) (link here!)A gentle gel-like facial exfoliator for all skin types containing watermelon, papaya and ginkgo biloba leaf extracts to gently revive and renew dull looking skin without being a harsh physical exfoliant. The beautiful blend of ingredients help to fight free radicals, work as an anti-imflammatory and promote cell regeneration. So not just your average exfoliator it is safe to say.I have tried two products previously from Su-Man through Mintd Box (here) and I have to say they both left me wanting more, so I was over the moon to see the brand back in this months box. The Su-Man Velvet Brightening Serum has to one of my all time favourite serums I have used to date and it also made me cry when I finished the last drop some few months ago (it isn't cheap!) but it's truly amazing. I adore the soft scent of this exfoliator and when you massage it into your skin the gel instantly turns into tiny particles that gently buff away all the dead skin cells making your skin look brighter in an instant. My skin felt so soft and just glowed after the first time of using it. A truly stunning skincare line from a very knowledgable, leading celebrity facialist that really knows skin. I follow Su-Man on Instagram and am always in awe of her whole philosophy and work ethic. I feel she has put her all into these products as they seriously do work. I like that she states "Skincare should be a ritual, not a chore. Life changes your skin, now change your skin for life". Never a truer word! Su-man Skincare is definitely a high end line so once again Mintd Box make it the ideal way to try out these beautiful products more cost effectively and I highly recommend trying this one for yourself if your finding your skin to look dry, dull and lack luster. This shall change that!
March Mintd Box, Spring Clean, AMLY Face Mist
2. AMLY Botanical Face Mist (Full Size £42) (link here!)A radiance boosting face mist that revives tired, stressed skin. This very unique facial water from the Amly Springs, a wild flower meadow in East Sussex, UK has been designed to intensely revitalise and illuminate your skin. The silver rich spring water is known for its clarifying and healing properties infused with organic flowers, hedgerow fruit, native herbs and essential oils such as Jasmine, Rose, Chamomile, Linden Blossom and Frankincense. The mist is highly concentrated with moisture boosting Hyaluronic Acid, Copper Peptides and plant probiotics. That sure is a fabulous ingredients list right there.Now I have seen this product spoken about many a time on Instagram within the beauty community so I really was excited to be able to experience it for myself. Visually, it is beautiful. The weighty dark glass bottle which has been specially designed to keep light out, definitely adds to the special factor and thank god it has a good nozzle. I hate when brands use a spray nozzle that shoots out instead of giving you a fine mist and safe to say, this one does and gives you a perfect fine misting that gently settles on your skin. I am a face mist addict and I own quite a few amazing ones so I did have very high expectations. I haven't used it long enough to say how this has worked on my skin long term as it promises to tackle skin issues like exposure from computers such as dryness, sensitivity, allergies etc but in the short term my skin does feel very comfortable, hydrated and calm each time I have used this. My only issue is the scent. I hate to say this as I lived in the UK countryside for many years so the 'uplifting, walk through the country' scent that it is supposed to give off just isn't for me. Scent is such a personal thing but I do want all those amazing ingredients on my face, so I am powering through seeing as the scent does not linger and the skin is I can reap the rewards. I shall keep you posted on the long term effects but everyone seems to love this one so it is doing a lot right!
March Mintd Box, Spring Clean, Omorovicza Elemental Emulsion
March Mintd Box, Spring Clean, Omorovicza Elemental Emulsion
3. Omorovicza Elemental Emulsion (Full Size £90) (link here!)Suitable for all skin types, this moisturising lotion is free from oils to help control surface shine and is packed full of marine extracts. Hyaluronic Acid helps to give the skin a plumper appearance and improves elasticity. This a multi-use product that can be used as moisturiser, a moisture boost on a dry skin day or as a serum before another cream.
I was super excited for this one as I love all that I have tried from Omorovicza and my oh my, this is a beautiful lotion that is so lightweight yet instantly makes your skin feel hydrated and nourished. I love the fact that it is so multi-use and perfect for all skin types as there aren't too many moisturisers that work like this. Dry skins will love using it as a serum where as oily skins will benefit from how light and hydrating it is as a daily moisturiser. Such a perfect skincare product for all year round but a great one for transitioning into the Spring/Summer. The fact that this retails alone for £90 makes this months Mintd Box a no brainer - it really is worth buying the box for this product alone as you save a small fortune and gain more products?! This is definitely a new favourite of mine and a product that I without a doubt 100% recommend trying out. It is pricey, yet fantastic and does the job in hand well!
March Mintd Box, Spring Clean, Magic Stripes Hyaluronic Mask Treatment
4. Magic Stripes Intensive Hyaluronic Masks (Full Size £31) (link here!)A box of 3 Hydrogel Masks packed full of highly concentrated doses of Hyaluronic Acid. The 100% cotton biodegradable masks moisturise and relax the skin to improve elasticity. The active ingredients respond to your skins temperature and use it's heat to penetrate deeply.I love sheet masks and I love the MagicStripes brand as their Collagen eye masks are fabulous so when I read 'hyaluronic acid' I was already sold. This is one of the best ingredients we can give our skin which I am sure you already know, so I was tearing one open as soon as my box arrived. The cotton makes them sit comfortably on your skin and they stay put really well unlike others that don't actually fit your face. These Hyaluronic masks are so cooling which would be great to use post holidays when you have been in the sun or on a flight but anytime you feel dehydrated or dry then this is your guy. They really do make your skin look good and mine felt really plumped and hydrated and just lovely. These are a must for any masking session!
March Mintd Box, Spring Clean
Just to recap, for £70/€79 you save £131/€148 making this month's March Mintd Box one of the biggest values we have seen saving you a massive £201/€228!The stars of this box for me have to be the Su-Man Facial Polish and the Omorovicza Elemental Emulsion purely because they are both amazing products that are perfect for all of us and the fact that the Emulsion is more expensive buying it alone (crazy>!) makes this month's Mintd Box a beauty deal that is too good to turn down. But whatever way, both are products that I highly recommend.
