Sarah Chapman Skinesis - Does it live up to the hype?

So I finally got around to trying the cult Sarah Chapman Skinesis range which is favoured by celebrities and socialites the world over and has been for years, but does it live up to the hype and is it worth the hefty price tag? Read on to find out.

In case you're not familiar with Sarah Chapman, here is the lowdown ...

Founder, CEO and product formulator Sarah Chapman is widely regarded as a premier skincare authority, making her one of the most respected and sought-after experts in the beauty industry – revered by clients and industry insiders alike.

The Skinesis Clinic

Sarah’s discreet Skinesis clinic in Chelsea, London, is the ultimate destination for those in pursuit of perfect skin, with a 12-week waiting list for a much-coveted facial appointment. Her inimitable results have earned her a long list of loyal clients, from A-list celebrities and beauty editors to socialites and facial obsessives everywhere.

Using her extensive skincare knowledge to deliver highly effective bespoke treatments, Sarah’s treatments are tailored precisely to the needs of each individual at the time of their visit. Seamlessly melding signature ‘gymnastics’ massage techniques with state-of-the-art technology and potent cosmeceutical formulas, her facials are renowned for delivering skin that glows with youthful radiance.

“Chapman is responsible for the complexion of wealthy women in the know, the sort of women who have dermatologists in every port… Chapman’s hands are exceptional. So much so, in fact that they’re now insured for £1million.”

First up is the 'Ultimate Cleanse' and specialist cleansing mitt which I have seen being used by the beautiful Liv Tyler and the lovely Nic Chapman from Pixi Woo amongst others so I was convinced that I would love this. On very first impressions I loved it, the smell and feel of it on my skin was AMAZING, however not only did it do a rubbish job of removing my make up, it also left my skin feeling extremely dry, tight and irritated as soon as it was rinsed off and the mitt was just as useless, I have used much better (and cheaper) ones in the past so the Ultimate Cleanse was a big no no for me!

However..
The 'Skinesis Overnight Facial' is actually amazing and well worth the price tag in my option!
I have never felt something so luxurious and I had to keep stopping myself from touching my face after I'd applied it as I'd never known my skin to feel so good! It feels like liquid velvet and is extremely nourishing for your skin. It leaves my skin feeling and looking pretty darn good in the morning and this is definitely something that will become part of my staple skincare routine and will be perfect in the winter months when my skin needs that extra TLC and boost of moisture.

Another fab product in the range is the 'Skinesis Intense Hydrating Booster' and this little beauty does exactly what it says on the tin! It's a rich non greasy serum that sinks straight into your skin, used before your usual moisturiser or mixed in with it, this is the perfect addition to your daily skincare routine especially given that we will be entering into Autumn/Winter soon and if you suffer with really dry skin, this is your new best friend.

So apart from the cleanser, I absolutely loved this range and it's well worth the investment.
