Healing Earth African Ginger Corrective Cream

This firming body cream is a treat. It contains ginger to tone and brighten the skin. Extracts of fennel, black pepper and cypress also aid in toning and firming. This cream, as with all Healing Earth creams, is free of parabens, preservatives and mineral oils, and no artificial fragrances or colours have been added. It smells lovely, is very moisturising and soothing and it does not irritate my sensitive skin.

Healing Earth Pinotage Facial Polish

Can we just first chat about how stunning this product looks?! I love the packaging. This facial scrub is made from real Pinotage grapes that are said to improve skin’s elasticity. Unfortunately, I don’t use physical exfoliators on my face as my skin is way too sensitive (especially during winter). I’ve also been told that my skin has a weakened barrier, so I decided to not aggravate the beast any more than it already is. Not that I think that this scrub is harsh at all though. I have been using it on my hands (which are just as sensitive as my face) and I love it. It leaves my hands feeling soft and smooth. It’s gorgeous.

Healing Earth Marula & Rose Hydrating Face Serum

This serum is a Fairlady Consumer Awards 2010 Winner! I am not surprised. It is amazing during the winter months especially. And if you suffer from dry skin, you have to give it a try. It contains loads of wonderful oils yet it is surprisingly lightweight (considering!). I found that it works best for me as part of my evening skincare routine, but on days that my skin felt particularly sensitive and dry, it worked very well under my day moisturiser as well. Two thumbs up for this beauty.

Thank you so much for introducing me to your brand Healing Earth. I love it.

Treats from Matsimela Home Spa

Earlier this year I had a glorious full body massage when we visited Aquila Private Game Reserve’s new Tranquila Spa. The therapist used the most divine smelling massage medium and I just had to know what it was. I was very surprised to hear that it was a body butter. Body butters don’t usually make the best massage medium, in my experience, but this one, oh my! Delicious. And who makes this lil’ pot of gold? MatsiMela.

Give yourself some valuable time back with our special treatments and Be Well!’

I was desperate to try one of their body butters at home as I couldn’t believe how amazing my skin felt after that massage. The kind people at MatsiMela sent me a few of their home spa products to try.

MatsiMela Home Spa Marula Nut Butter

The MatsiMela Marula Nut Butter is just as lovely as the one used during the massage. It smells amazing and feels incredible on my skin. It’s creamy and soothing and my dry skin laps it up. The brand says it’s excellent for dry skin that needs quenching, and I agree. The body butter retails for R145 for 200ml and I think that’s a great price for a great product.

MatsiMela Home Spa Marula Nut Bath Soak

Sadly, I have not tried the MatsiMela Marula Nut Kalahari Bath Soak yet. Why? No bathing allowed during the water crisis. But this antioxidant-rich soak is patiently waiting (as am I) for the rain to bring relief, and then it’s me, a handful of these delightfully scented salts and a huge glass of wine. The soak retails for R75. Again so well priced, don’t you think?

Head on over to their website HERE to treat yourself to some home spa goodness.

Happy shopping!
