Cetaphil is saving my face

My skin hates winter! So, so much. And this year it’s even worse. Not only is my skin dry, sensitive and blotchy; my face has decided to welcome an old friend… eczema. Thank goodness Cetaphil came to the rescue and is saving my face.

Cetaphil is saving my face

If you are a regular South African beauty blog reader I’m sure you’ve seen reviews of the new Cetaphil face products doing the rounds. I have and I am super jealous. I have read such great reviews and I’m dying to get my hands on the new products. But this post isn’t about the new products on my lust list. It’s about old favourites for body that’s turned out to be my face’s saving grace.

As I’ve mentioned, my skin hates winter. If you’re a regular reader, I apologise as I am sure you are used to me going on and on about it this time every year. It’s much worse this year though. I have eczema-prone skin. I’ve suffered for 41 years but I have never had an outbreak this bad on my face before. I have patches on my cheeks and my forehead. It’s not been a pretty sight. I’ve been able to conceal it with make-up to a certain degree, but it’s the non-stop itching that’s been driving me absolutely crazy. CRAZY! And all of the sudden my skin hates the products it usually loves. Some of the gentlest products in my arsenal now burn my skin. I have also had to put aside all my anti-ageing, pigmentation-fighting and saucer-sized-pore-busting serums. I’m sad.

Cetaphil sent me a few of my favourites to help my body beat the winter-skin blues, but I decided to try them on my face this time round, and I am so glad I did.

Cetaphil Restoraderm for eczema-prone skin

The Cetaphil Restoraderm Body Wash and Body Moisturiser is a godsend for dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin. That’s a fact. So I decided to try it on my face and I am so glad I did. The wash doesn’t burn my skin or leave it feeling stripped, but it still cleans properly as these pores need a good cleaning every morning and night. The moisturiser has helped a lot to relieve the tightness and the constant itch that drives my up the wall. This clinically proven range has really given me so much relief.

I was still left  with severe dry patches on my forehead and cheeks on the really bad days.

Cetaphil Moisturising Cream

Cetaphil Moisturising Cream to the rescue! This is the MOST AMAZING body moisturiser in the world. And, as it turns out, a fabulous night cream. If I had to choose one cream to use for the rest of my life, this is it. And here’s why:

• Intense and lasting moisture to replenish sensitive, dry skin — great for very dry skin

• Clinically proven to provide immediate, long-lasting hydration that soothes dry, sensitive skin

• Unique formula attracts water to the skin and helps prevent moisture loss

• Quick absorbing, rich, non-greasy

• Fragrance-free, mild, non-irritating

My forehead and cheeks (and the rest of me) looks and feels so much better thanks to this cream.

I don’t really know when or how my skin will get back to the ‘pre eczema-breakout-from-hell state’ as my eczema is stress related and the only way to really clear it up is with cortisone. I’m trying my best to avoid that route. But for now I want to thank Cetaphil for these 3 products as they have given me so much relief. My skin looks and feels beter than it has in weeks. Now to work on the stress levels …

I love a pedicure. Don’t you? How often do you go for this treat? If you are like me, basically never. I wish I had the time, but there is no chance. Voesh New York however comes to the rescue with Pedi In A Box. Now I can give myself a deluxe pedi at home (while binge watching Netflix series in my pajamas).

I discovered Voesh New York on Instagram a couple of months ago and grabbed the chance to try out their products with both hands.

Voesh New York Pedi In A Box – It’s a treat!

The kind people from Maskscara sent me a 4 step Vitamin Recharge Pedi In A Box to try and I am officially hooked.

All 4 products in the box were an absolute treat to use. And the scent was amazing. I got to give myself an at-home pedicure with salon quality products and salon quality results. This made me very happy.

I also tried the Callus Remover Gel and my flip flop loving feet couldn’t be more grateful. I’ll be buying these in bulk!

Maskscara, thank you so much for bringing Voesh New York to our shores. I’ll be popping in to your Bellville store very soon. There are many other Voesh products I am dying to try. And Pedi In A Box makes a wonderful gift too.
