When I spotted the Motley Crew range on social media, I knew it was going to be a hit. Not only do the products look super cool, they fit into a market that hasn’t really been catered for. I am proud to tell you more about Motley Crew…

Motley Crew – the coolest tween toiletry range in town

Some of you may think that tweens are a bit young to be thinking about face wash and roll-on, but I think it’s the perfect age to start introducing self care products.

Why choose Motley Crew Body Brew?

Motley Crew products are age-appropriate, specific for tweens. We provide toiletries with the needs of kids between 8 and 13 yrs in mind. Our brand has a fun and fashionable character backed by professional and expert products made specifically for this age group. We aim to provide all you kids with products that are cool and that gives you a sense of ownership – your first step to managing your personal hygiene.

Cara’s been washing her face with face wash for quite some time now. I am very strict when it comes to wearing sunscreen every day and I prefer that she doesn’t use bar soap to remove the sunscreen, dirt and grime of the day. She also uses face cream which up to now has been aqueous cream.

The above process has often been met with sighs and grunts, but now that Cara has her own range of skin care products, she is happy to wash and moisturise. Winning!!

Motley Crew Body Brew

Cara loves her Motley Crew Glo Up Face Wash and Whassup Face Cream. In her words: ‘it smells nice and feels soft’. I love the products for so many more reasons. The face wash is soap and sulphate free, foams up beautifully and leaves Cara’s skin clean without feeling stripped or dried out. I’ve tried it too and it’s a great foaming face wash. The face cream is light, oil and fragrance free and contains soothing aloe vera. It’s lovely. Again I speak from personal experience too.

Motley Crew Body Brew

We also received a Vanilla Sunshine Roll On. It’s not really something Cara needs just yet, but my mom grabbed it as soon as she heard the word ‘vanilla’. This range actually caters for all ages ;)

The Motley Crew Body Brew range has so much more that we’re dying to try. Think shampoo, conditioner, body cream, hair gel and hair detangling spray. All packaged to look super cool. What makes it even better is that Motley Crew is proudly South African and they don’t test on animals.

These products are available at major Clicks outlets in the Hand & Body aisle as well as online and they retail between R19,95 to R64,95.

Happy shopping!

Superb Sun Care from Childs Farm

We love Childs Farm products and now we are even bigger fans thanks to their amazing range of sun care and sun protection products.

Here’s the low down on their range:

Childs Farm new formulation SPF 30 & 50+ sun cream for very high protection, is water resistant and protects young and sensitive skin from UVA and UVB rays, whilst keeping skin moisturised and hydrated. So you can relax while your children enjoy the sun safely. Suitable for babies and upwards. Dermatologist and paediatrician approved as suitable for sensitive skin and safe for people who may be prone to eczema. Childs Farm unfragranced sun cream is registered with The Vegan Society.

The range consists of 30 SPF Sun Cream, 30 SPF Sun Spray, 50+ SPF Sun Cream, 50+ SPF Sun Spray, 50+ SPF Roll On Lotion and After Sun Lotion. Prices range from about R112 to R240.

We’ve been using the 30 SPF Sun Cream and the After Sun Lotion and we love it. Cara hasn’t complained once when I apply this sunscreen on her face in the morning (usually a huge struggle!). It glides on and we have not experienced any issues with Cara’s sensitive skin. It’s a winner. The After Sun Lotion may be my favourite Childs Farm product yet. And when I say mine, I mean it… it’s soothing, it smells amazing and my eczema-prone skin LOVES it. 10/10 for this one Childs Farm.

Sun cream checklist:

Childs Farm dermatologist Dr Jennifer Crawley gives her top tips on keeping your children safe in the sun:

1. Apply sun cream 20 to 30 minutes before going outside.
2. Make sure you’re applying enough sun cream – don’t skimp on it.
3. Don’t forget to put sun cream on those hidden places like behind the ears, and on the neck, shoulders and tops
of feet.
4. Reapply every couple of hours – people often forget to do this in the UK – and always after swimming.
5. Try to stay out of the sun in the hottest part of the day, between 11 and 3 o’clock.
6. Dress your little one in a sun hat, sunglasses and loose, breathable clothing.

Childs Farm sun care products are available online at www.babiesafrica.com and www.takealot.com.
