The Bioelements skin care range was developed by professionals for use by professionals.  The company lays claim to be at the forefront of research.  They appear to put a lot of time and effort into their products and are committed to educating everybody on the benefits of a good skin care routine.

The Bioelements product range will appeal to all those that wish to do their bit to help the environment.  Over 80% of the product range is packaged in glass as it’s 100% recyclable. They use vegetable ink on their eco-friendly packaging.

The company is also committed to two charities which is always nice to see.

But just how good are the products? The Bioelements range is available to use at home or in a Spa. The website has a handy zip code finder to find your local spa if you fancy treating yourself.

All skin types are catered for but they seem to be particularly strong on dealing with anti-aging cosmetics and skin care.  They have a very user friendly interface if you wish to adopt the do it yourself route instead of a spa.  You simply click your skin type  – they have 7  different skin types as opposed to the usual 4 or 5.

Once you’ve picked out your skin type you’ll be then taken to a screen which is divided into recommendations for every product you would need.  They tell you which cleanser to use, the toner, moisturiser, the sunscreen factor you should be using, the overnight cream and finally the exfoliant.

But they have not finished with you yet. They then ask you to describe any particular area of concern you might have such as crow’s feet, dark circles, blackheads etc.  You name it and it will be listed here but you can just pick 3 problem areas.

Ticking 3, I was then taken to another screen which contained a further 5 product recommendations.   I have to say that the website is highly informative and it does inspire a feeling of quality.  But I struggle with the notion that I really need 11 different bottles of products to handle my dry skin.  I fully admit that I don’t pay as much attention to my cosmetic routine as I should but eleven products and we have not touched on make up yet!

But to be fair, they also produce kits for every skin type under their “Great Skin in a Box” range.

However, when talking to my girlfriends they were all very impressed with the Bioelements range.  One friend who has suffered with acne all her life swears by their oil free sun protector. Other sun protection products caused outbreaks of pimples so she frequently went without but not any longer.

Another friend has used the “Fight Aging Chin to Chest” product with impressive results.  She’s a typical Irish lady with loads of freckles but she does not think they’re attractive. This product is the only one that’s managed to fade them to her satisfaction.  Now she wishes they’d bring out something to handle her red hair – I advised a wig!

So I’ve taken the plunge and booked myself in for a Bioelements facial. After speaking to the girls, I’m looking forward to my encounter with the Biochemcial skin care range.
