    Hannon Skincare Review

    December 12, 2014 in Beauty, Launches, Reviews, Skincare

    Hannon recently sent me a personalized selection of their new skincare products. I once used a Hannon hair treatment (It was this one) which was incredible and it really helped the condition of my hair, so I was very excited to discover that they had launched a skincare line. The best introduction to any skincare brand is to use their wash, toner and creams all together for a period of at least two weeks as it gives the most complete review of what the brand can offer and whether it delivers. With Hannon’s skincare I can certainly say that it delivers! I am blown away by this local brand.

    Hannon was very generous and I received quite a few products so this review will be done in stages…

    First up: The Basics

    IMG_4941

    Hannon’s Cleansing Milk does a spectacular job of removing makeup and even eye makeup. It is extremely gentle and can be used on dry and sensitive skin types. It retails at R235 for 150ml which should last quite some time as only a small amount on a cotton pad is required for the entire face.

    Next up we have the Gentle Facial Wash (R235). This smells so refreshing and leaves ones skin feeling super soft. There is no uncomfortable tightness at all thanks to the added jojoba oil and wheatgerm oil. I like how the formula gently and effectively washes away all sebum build-up and my skin actual feels thoroughly cleansed after use.

    Hannon have a Toner which is suitable for all skin types- The PH Balancing Toner (R225). This smells so divine and is utterly refreshing. It is also easy-to-use and comes in a practical spray bottle. This toner is also ideal for men because the astringent Witchhazel is great for use after shaving to prevent ingrown hairs .

    The Moisturizers:

    IMG_4944

    I received a Balancing Moisturiser (R295) which is suitable for combination skin. Your skin feels deeply nourished and thanks to the special active Moist 24 it leaves your skin feeling moisturized throughout the day. Great for those who work in an environment with an aircon and often find it zapping all the moisture out of your skin by midday. The Balancing Moisturizer helps to provide moisture whilst also controlling oil and preventing breakouts and blackheads.

    Their Night Creme Ultra Rich (365) is indulgently rich and your skin feels silky soft after use. I did however find it to be a little bit too rich for my oiler T-Zone area so this is best suited for those with combination skin types erring on the drier side and of course dry skins.

    Sun Protection:

    IMG_4946

    Daily Sunblock Moisturiser SPF 30+ (R255)- I was super excited to spot this in my box of goodies since I have been on the hunt for a good facial sunscreen. Finding one that does not feel too heavy on the skin is actually quite the challenge. Hannon’s Sunblock is suitable for all skin types and the zinc oxide also helps to treat inflammation and acne breakouts. It is incredibly lightweight and can be used under foundation without affecting the evenness of it nor does it cast a “white” shade.

    The Treatments:

    IMG_4950

    Since I have been seeing a lot more pigmentation develop on my skin recently Hannon sent me two products which help with pigmentation…

    The first is the Gentle Enzyme Skin Peeler (R265) which contains papaya and pineapple extract to help remove pigmentation. It can only be used once a week and so far I have been using all of the above products for just over 2 weeks meaning I have only used this one twice. Therefore I have thus to see a massive improvement from it alone. I will do a follow-up review in a month.

    The Gentle Enzyme Skin Peeler is gentle on the skin but it sure does tingle and the scent (which is quite menthol) can be a bit strong for sensitive eyes so take some time to relax with your eyes closed for the 10-15 min that you have it on. The menthol effect is actually quite soothing to the skin and I experienced no redness after rinsing it off. As far the exfoliation factor of this product is concerned, it is amazing! It also helps with blackheads and breakouts so it is a total multi-tasker and one that I will from now on always have in my cabinet. Since this contains AHA which can cause photo-sensitivity an SPF is highly recommended specifically Hannon’s Daily SunBlock SPF 30.

    Next we have the Lightening Serum for Pigmentation with Moist 24 and Oligopeptide-34 (R395). For some reason I didn’t expect this to smell as incredible as it does. In fact all of Hannon’s skincare products have delightful fragrances to them except for the eye cream which is fragrance free.

    The Lightening Serum can safely be used morning and evening everyday and I have already seen an improvement in my overall skin tone. I try to apply it only on the pigmented areas. The Lightening Serum works for any dark discoloration, Age/liver spots and freckles, hormonal pigmentation and acne marks. I will give you an update on the results in the same future post as the Gentle Enzyme Skin Peeler but so far I can already see a definite improvement with smaller pigmented spots under my eye area.

    Last but certainly not least- The Hannon Vitamin E Eye Cream with Moist 24 (R265) which hydrates and firms up the skin surrounding the delicate eye area. This cream can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines but is also suitable as an eye cream used for preventing the formation of lines and wrinkles caused by dehydration. You only need a minuscule amount to cover the entire eye area as the formula spreads with ease.

    My overall opinion of the Hannon Skincare line: This is a local and well-priced brand that can certainly rival the larger international luxury skincare brands in terms of quality and results. I was genuinely not expecting every product to deliver and impress me as much as it has and I hope that this brand receives the recognition in the beauty world that it deserves.

      I’ve found my favorite moisturizer in Clinique. I don’t remember what it’s called, but it’s the yellow one. I can’t live without it. I’m definitely checking out Hannon now though!

      good day. I have a combination skin and my pores gets blocked. I have use so many different skin care products and nothing helps. I watch Hannon every week on TV when he does his makeover on the woman and I am so impressed so that I also want to try his products. What do you suggest I buy that will help me. I had a brain aneurism 11 years back and lost my eye sight in my right eye 2 years back. I am 55 years and really want to make myself look better and feel better

    I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to the new #BossMightyChunks range from @bossdogfood over the past month. This particular post is about health. 

About just how important your animal's health is as your own.
These furry little souls keep me going. They kept my spirits up throughout the medical challenges I faced last year. Seeing them was bliss.

The first two are from last week when I re-purchased their new favourite tasty meals. They actually recognised the cans! Queen Candi wanted to make sure "her" food was protected. You can see poor Rocco pleading. It wasn't even supper time yet. 
Our dogs mean so much to us. They are our children. They are on a par with a human toddler in terms of neediness. We admittedly do spoil them a bit too much. However, their well-being is something we have always made sure as all dog parents is a priority. 

They never miss their annual health checkups with any potential issues treated immediately. You may know that last year was a challenging time for me health-wise. It was such a difficult period for my partner & beloved fur-babies. 

Some of the more serious ones included being diagnosed with a second rare chronic illness, 3rd person in South Africa. Also cardiac issues & complications (another rare disease) and then a mini-stroke & more. On top of that, just two days after my final life-saving surgery. 

Richard and the dogs came close to losing their lives when our entire house burnt down. It was a huge turning point for us. We focused more on taking better care of ourselves, valuing every aspect of our lives and are beyond grateful that both dogs managed to make it out. 

I jumped at the opportunity when Boss reached out to me to try their new Mighty Chunks range. That is the dogs trying the range! Not me🤣. I will admit that for someone who doesn't eat meat, the rosemary scent is rather pleasant! 

Seeing how adding some healthy wet food like Boss Mighty Chunks that is nutrient-filled to their diet made an actual difference to their health. Agility and digestive, respectively, have again made us reevaluate the importance of health and well-being. For all of us!

    Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” since including @bossdogfood 
Boss Mighty Chunks into their diet. I thought the thicker gravy for extra taste as a topper is the best and meatier chunks might be a bit much for Candi but she gobbles them down with delight. It’s also helped give her more energy and fewer digestive issues it seems. As an Irish Setter, Rocco is more prone to joint and flexibility issues so seeing him extra agile since including these has been a noticeable health benefit too. 

They are obviously always excited for meal time but not usually this enthusiastic!

Oh, and to purchase or for any information about the new formulation’s extra protection & health benefits then visit the link in my bio.

    The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape is needed! I love Autumn but I’m craving sunny beaches and tranquility and would love it if my next holiday is somewhere exclusive. 

While daydreaming and scrolling, I spotted the incredible @clubmed La Plantation d'Albion! It offers so much! Evening activities, scuba-diving (which I haven't done and want to), a beach bar, secluded coves, a luxurious Cinq Monde Spa and adult-only Zen Zones. Oh did I mention ALL-INCLUSIVE gourmet food, an open bar plus Champagne all day! It’s relaxation heaven! 

Being all-inclusive it’s also budget-friendly which will make it easier to convince Richard to book it for us! 

So, when you make a booking (Link in Bio) tag me in your snaps to make me extra jealous!

    How does the saying go again? In the entertainment How does the saying go again? In the entertainment industry, never work with children or animals?

Well, I've discovered this was especially true tonight. I was just trying to get some snaps of Rocco & Candi testing out some of the new Boss Mighty Chunks. They are available in 3 flavours- Chicken Casserole, Grilled Steak & Lamb Stew. I've honestly never seen them this excited over a specific food before, and they already go crazy for food. 

Candi was incredibly naughty. She's usually so well-behaved. She had the audacity to climb onto the table and stuck her face into the Grilled Steak can! Just as I was setting up my camera.

As a pescatarian, dog food in general typically doesn't have the most appetising smell to me. So I was surprised that all of the Boss Mighty Chunks has a pleasant & extremely unique aromatic rosemary scent. Something both Furbabies seem to love as you can clearly see from all of the fantastic blurry tongues out & mouth-watering impatient background photos of them.

    After all of the heavy rain last night. I’m trul After all of the heavy rain last night. I’m truly hoping for a few more sunny pool days! Mostly because Rocco wanted to spend the majority of last night outside in the rain 🤣🙈

He lives for water. So “splashy pool days” is heaven for him. Even if I’m making him pose… “Look at Daddy for the camera! “

He LOVES water though to the extreme. Even though he is a rescue, every animal behaviourist etc has confirmed he is most likely an Irish Setter.

He can’t swim, due to his build. Large upper thick coat and slender but furry legs. Ideal for trudging through bogs/wetlands in Ireland and the shallow parts of a pool 🤣. I have to be on full mummy duty though. As when he spots water he will go in and follow me. 

Anyone else have an Irish Setter? 

@oneroccoatatime is such a bundle of affection. Check out his Instagram for a Reel of him in his own Kiddies Pool 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦
