Qfiber Heat Wrap Pad review

I was contacted a while ago and asked if I wanted to test out the Qfiber Heat Wrap Pad. As someone who suffers from lower back pain I was very intrigued!

Qfiber heat wrap*

The Qfiber heat pad is a one size fits all wrap that is applied to most parts of the body in order to relieve pain such as the back, shoulders, elbows, knees, ankles etc. It is also used by those who have arthritis and joint pains as well as athletes. The pad relaxes muscles and improves circulation whilst relieving pain. I originally assumed it was just a heat pad but it isn’t. The pad uses infra red technology which can reach 2” inches deep into exhausted muscles helping to relax them and thus diminishing any stress they are under.

After around a month of trialling I have found it to be very effective in relieving lower back tension. You are not allowed to use it more than 3 times a week and it’s only 30 minutes each time. When I originally used it I only found temporary relief, come the next day I had lower back pain again. But what I did find is now that I have used it a good couple of times over the 4 weeks the tension has subsided greatly. I would definitely recommend this product for those suffering muscle tension. If used regularly (within the recommend guidelines) I have personally found it to relieve muscle tension on a much longer term basis. 

Now that I’ve also started my fitness regime this will come in handy for the days I don’t do a warm up!

RADICAL skincare Age-Defying Exfoliating Pads

Radical Age Defying Exfoliating Pads*

Who would’ve thought a product made to reduce the appearance of wrinkles would also remove dark patches as well as acne scarring? This gentle formula worked well with my sensitive skin.

I recently came across the Radical Skincare range and was intrigued by the story of the 2 sisters who had created the product. Liz and Rachel had been working in the cosmetics industry aged just ten as their father was a world renowned professor of Plastic Surgery. They were exposed to the science of skin rejuvenation from a young age. In order to combat wrinkles they attempted to create a product that actually worked - with no intention of selling it to the public. Little did they realise their great formula would also clear up rosacea! After many questions from people wanting to try the product in order to achieve the same results it went on to the market to sell and was a success.

I have been trailing this product for around 2 weeks now, daily. The tub features 60 exfoliating pads which are soaked in anti oxidants such as Witch Hazel, coffee seed extracts and grape seed extracts to name a few. The Radical age defying exfoliating pads promote cell turnover and have also been known to reduce the appearance of crows feet by 50% in just 2 weeks! The pads remove dead skin cells too which reduces the appearance of dull, tired looking skin.

You can never start too early with anti-aging products but I can’t really comment on wrinkles. I can however comment on the general look and feel of my skin. It has become a lot more firm and is super smooth. I have also noticed the appearance of pores around my t-zone have completely diminished. I use this product as a second cleanser in the evening without applying moisturiser over the top of it. You get enough product to last you two months.

I suffered from acne years ago and it did eventually go but left some scarring. The result I am most shocked and pleased about is definitely the way my acne scarring has significantly reduced! I’d confidently say in another few days of using it they will be completely gone. Furthermore my skin overall is a lot more even toned and appears brighter. The formulation of the product is evening out my skin tone so well. Even though my skin is sensitive I have had no reactions using this product what so ever - winner!

I am so pleased I came across this product even though it is mainly advertised as age-defying. For those of you who do suffer with acne scarring or even dark patches and un even skin tone I highly recommend trying it out. The price is maybe the only downside, but for the results you can achieve I personally feel it is worth it - celebs use it too! I will be repurchasing the Radical Skincare age defying exfoliating pads again, it is too good of a product to miss out on.
