Cape Island – The Heart of African Luxury

We all deserve a little luxury now and then. And Cape Island’s range of scented candles, reed diffusers, natural soaps & lotions, scented sachets (and loads more) offers exactly that.

Cape Island – The Heart of African Luxury

Cape Island treated me to a bit of luxury as I got to try a natural hand cream and a hand sanitiser from this gorgeous brand.

Cape Island – The Heart of African Luxury

I am a sucker for hand creams and the Cape Island Clifton Beach Natural Hand Cream is an absolute treat. The captivating coconut, wild flowers and fresh lime scent is dreamy and my sensitive skin laps up the nourishing lotion. My hands are left feeling soft and silky. It is a handbag essential.

I also got to try the Jungle Hand Sanitiser. In all honesty, I wasn’t very excited to try it. My hands have been sprayed and squirted with so many sanitisers of late and my eczema-prone skin is not happy. BUT I was surprised (actually shocked) that you could find a hand sanitiser that doesn’t sting and burn and still kills 99.9% of bacteria, fungi and viruses. My hand actually feel hydrated after using this santiser! I give it 11 out of 10.

If you have sensitive skin, I highly recommend these two fabulous products. Thank you Cape Island.

Whilst I head over to shop on www.cape island.co.za, I’ll leave it to Cape Island to share more about their story:

SVR Hydra Intensif Sheet Mask – Your skin will thank you!

SVR recently launched a new mask that will save your skin. Take that, Winter! The SVR Hydra Intensif Sheet Mask is the perfect treatment to give your skin a moisturising, soothing, plumping boost.

SVR Hydra Intensif Sheet Mask

SVR Hydra Intensif Sheet Mask

This natural biocellulose mask contains a high concentration of Vitamin B3 and hyaluronic acid.

Vitamin B3, also known as niacinamide, is a leading multi-corrective active ingredient that strengthens and restores the skin barrier. SVR has combined it with low molecular weight hyaluronic acid to replenish hydration in the skin. This  has a tightening and plumping effect.

Both active ingredients are soaked in biocellulose fibres produced by fermenting coconut water. These fibres are natural, strong and have a high absorption capacity.

The SVR B3 Hydra Intensif Sheet Mask is soaked in serum that will leave your skin feeling (and looking) plump, supple and hydrated in only 15 minutes. And you will feel like you’ve been for a facial.

The mask is free of fragrance and suitable for even the most sensitive of skin (read: mine). And for dehydrated skin, it can’t be beat.

Oh, and ELLE agrees with me! This beaut was featured in an article showcasing the 10 best sheet masks for your face. The SVR Hydra Intensif Sheet Mask took top spot for dehydrated skin.

The SVR Hydra Intensif Sheet Mask retails for R200 and is available for purchase at www.riekiemedaesthetic.co.za, www.absoluteskin.co.za  or www.shopfomo.com and at selected beauty salons and Doctors.
