Review: Nivea Body Moisturiser, Rich Nourishing - 10/10 Stars

Nivea, Body Moisturiser, Rich Nourishing, Rich Moisturising Care, with HYDRA IQ. For Dry skin with almond oil.

I just used this for the first time today and I love it! I have very dry skin and this is perfect for keeping my skin moisturised without being too thick and oily like the many other products out there.

What I Love: 
  • Light texture, not too thick.
  • Rubs in quickly and easily like a lotion. 
  • Smells lovely, but not overpowering.
  • Skin feels velvety with a nice sheen to it afterwards.
  • Even very dry skin feels nicely moisturised hours later.
  • Relatively cheap. It is on sale now at Superdrug for only £3.46. 

What I didn't Like

This is rare for me, but there was nothing that I disliked about this product.

I highly recommend this product to everyone. This will be a permanent addition to my beauty regime.

Review: Dr.Hauschka Cleansing Cream

As someone with sensitive skin, I rarely wear make-up. So good skin care products to maintain clear skin is essential.

When I visited my local health food shop Nourish (lovely staff), I came across a paper clipping of Julia Roberts. The article wrote about how the Pretty Woman star loves Dr. Hauschka's Rose cream. Well I thought, if it's good enough for my pal Julia, then it is certainly good enough for me! So I invested in the €17.75 cleansing cream.


Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Cream - Product Review - 8/10 Stars

The cleansing cream is of thick, light brown, ointment texture. It contains small, gentle exfoliating particles. When rubbing it on your face, the first thing you notice is the 'organic' smell. While it is not pleasant, I prefer this over perfumed products which I find unpleasant.

The cream does not foam, so I am not sure if it would help with removing 'tacky' dirt like make-up or oils. Without the foaming action, I did not think that it would clean as well as other cleansers, but I was wrong! After drying off my face, it felt supple, soft and clean. It did not dry my skin like other cleansers normally do.

The only thing I negative is, with my oily skin I do miss the squeaky clean feel. despite that, this will definitely be a permanent addition to my skin care routine.

I LOVE this product and would highly recommend it to everyone, not just people with sensitive skin.
