Skincare Fit For Royalty

Skincare Fit For Royalty

We love trialling skincare and using products in our routines that are not only beneficial to our skin, but also to our wellbeing, our mood and our sense of self-love. The ritual of applying skincare to our faces twice a day isn't to be underestimated. We're all about products that feel like silk, that nourish and cushion, melt into the skin and have a delicious scent. And it's fair to say that these products exist across many brands and price points.

But when it comes to luxury skincare, there's one brand that we come back to time and again, no matter which other products land in our laps at Verymakeupmad HQ. And that's Omorovicza. We love the story and the sheer romance behind this brand...and most of all, the fact that the products deliver on their promises and make our skin look and feel incredible! And given that we're currently celebrating our Queen's Platinum Jubilee, it seems fitting to be telling you about Omorovicza, as we definitely think that it's skincare fit for royalty!

All Omorovicza products make use of the curative powers of Hungarian healing waters, recognised for their transformative effects on the skin. The brand was founded in 2006 by Margaret de Heinrich de Omorovicza and her husband, Stephen, whose family owned one of Budapest’s largest thermal baths, dating back to the 1800s. Margaret had always struggled with her skin (most notably with acne), but after just one visit to the spa, she noticed a difference. The brand was ultimately born after a meeting between Stephen and Margaret with the head of a Hungarian dermatology lab, famed for its Nobel prize-winning discovery of Vitamin C.

Recently we were lucky enough to spend the morning in Margaret's sparkling company. What a thrill to hear her story and find out more about these transformative products. Each one contains the brand's patented Healing Concentrate which delivers therapeutic minerals to the deepest layers of the skin. They all work on skin vitality and rejuvenation.

As far as our own love affair with Omorovicza goes, we've long been fans of the Queen Of Hungary Mist (the most divine smelling, hydrating spritz that we use throughout the day, especially during the summer, to refresh and revive...TOP TIP: keep it in the fridge for the ultimate antidote to hot summer days). And when it comes to vitamin C serums, Daily Vitamin C will always have our hearts, for its luxurious texture, fresh scent and amazing skin brightening results.

And a few months ago, as Spring sprung in London, we both embarked on 'The Cure' - a 9 day skin 'reset' with 3 dedicated phases...Resurface & Brighten/Remineralise & Revive/Reconstruct & Replenish. Each of the 9 ampoules contain potent and concentrated ingredients to give immediate results. It's an amazing programme for stressed skin that's in need of a boost. ( Watch Our Video Review )

We were very excited to walk away from our recent meeting with Margaret with some products to trial, including the brilliant Cushioning Day Cream which boosts collagen and elastin production for firm, plumped up, glowing skin. It also strengthens the skin’s natural barrier to protect against damage and the daily stresses of urban living. It's cushioning by name and cushioning by nature, and we're both obsessed with it!

We were also hugely privileged to be gifted the brand new, Queen Essence, that's launching on the Omorovicza website (omorovicza.co.uk) next week. We've been using this exquisite essence daily, before any serums and/or moisturisers, and are seriously impressed. It's packed full of hydrating ingredients as well as antioxidants to leave skin smooth, supple and ready for the application of further products. Plus we love how pretty the delicate pink bottle looks on our bathroom shelves! And we're very lucky to be able to offer our lovely VMM followers a 15% discount on it - simply use code VERY15 at checkout.

Love, luxury skincare and products fit for a Queen,
