The Cosmic Watchdog

If you’re prepping for your wedding, or even if you’re not, your skin is an area you absolutely shouldn’t neglect. You want to make sure you’re looking your very best for the hours of photos you’ll face on the day, and blemishes and breakouts are a surefire way to pile on some unwanted extra stress.

Right now you can grab the bull by the horns for less, with 10% off a range of skincare bundles at 47 Skin. Let’s take a look at some highlights that will ensure your skin is as radiant as you are on your big day.

1. 2 Step Cleanse & Protect Bundle – Cleanser & Serum for £47.50 down from £53

First up is the simple cleanser and serum pair, featuring 47 Skin’s Silver Chitoderm® solution. This ingredient works wonders across myriad skin types, naturally working to clear up spots and blemishes, reduce the appearance of scars and fine lines, and brightens and hydrates the skin. It’s got antibacterial properties to help prevent breakouts from setting in too, making this cleanser and serum combo a real powerhouse.

2. 3 Step Treatment Bundle – Cleanser, Silver Mask, Serum for £74 down from £82

You can take things up a gear with the 3-Step Bundle, featuring the cleanser, serum, and a silver mask to maximise the Silver Chitoderm®’s effects. Clear things up with the cleanser, then relax with the mask for twenty minutes before peeling it away and applying the serum to finish the job. You’ll feel refreshed, and for good reason: your skin will have had a thorough and long-lasting clean.

3. 4 Step Bundle – Cleanser, Silver Mask, Serum & Daily Moisturiser for £104 down from £116

Last, but by no means least, the 4-Step Bundle features all of the above plus a powerful daily moisturiser. This oil-free balm works to nourish the skin whilst killing bacteria, and it’s been specially formulated to avoid clogging your pores. Along with the other treatments in the set, your skin will have no choice but to glow.

There’s no shortage of testimonials to choose from, with 47 Skin already having won over legions of fans. Pamela said: “I wish I’d known about 47 Skin before my wedding day 2 years ago.

“My skin is so much better now. I don’t use foundation but on my wedding day I had to, so I wish I’d known about it before then!”

“I have suffered with breakouts since I was teenager and I’ve always been super self-conscious of them,” said another happy customer named Sophie. No amount of makeup would cover them. It’s always made me so down about my skin and insecure.

“I’m getting married in a few months and was desperate to sort it out so I wouldn’t hate my photo being taken, and then I found this. I can’t believe how quickly it worked, I use the cleanser morning and evening along with the scar serum morning and evening, and the mask is like a little safety blanket if I feel a spot about to grow. I can honestly say, it’s really worked, the scars have faded so much.

“I wish I found it ages ago. I’m so happy and will feel good about my skin on my wedding day.”

Another named Brittany added: “Absolutely adore this! The amazing results were instant and does exactly what it says in the description. Plumper, smoother, healthier skin. So much so that I wore this plus regenerative serum and a only tiny bit of blusher on my wedding day – that was it!”

However, as with all skin products, it may vary depending on your own skin type. “I’ve seen little to no improvement in my skin, my spots actually appear larger and more painful,” said a three-star review. “I’ve not used this daily as it seemed a bit harsh on my skin, but I’ve been using it for around four weeks, so unsure if any improvement will occur.”

“I’m sorry to say that this didn’t work for my husband,” said another. “He has rosacea and associated acne and scars, and it irritated his skin and made it blotchy. I really wanted it to work and I’m sure it’s a great product, it’s just not for him sadly.”

Nic explains why the product was created. As they said: “I’d been suffering from breakouts for over 10 years. I’d tried what felt like every product and treatment under the sun and spent thousands,” Nic said, going on to explain: “Nothing worked. But in 2017, Grandma sent me a pot of cream through the post with a handwritten note urging me to try it. I was sceptical, but it cleared my spots and blemishes in just four days.

“I was so amazed that I tracked down the scientist behind the formulation. Now, our mission is to spread the word through our range of incredible products and skin-positive community. I hope 47 Skin makes as much of a difference to your life as it did to mine.” 

Another option for taking the battle to scars, blemishes, and uneven skin tones is Bio Oil, available for £17.99 at Boots. The Dr Organic Vitamin E Scar & Stretch Mark Serum at Superdrug for £8.99 is another option to consider.
