I have been a huge fan of Dr. Dermal for quite some time. My love for the brand has, up until recently, only been based on one product… and yes, it was a single product that impressed me enough to be able to make this statement – the Dr. Dermal Omega Skin Oil. Winter is extremely tough on my skin and this oil is just what it needs. I have to get my hands on it again.

I am currently also using the following products and I will be sharing my thoughts soon…

IntenCE Antioxidant Plasma – This potent Vitamin C treatment improves the overall condition of your skin by fighting free radicals and up regulating cell function. The low pH also helps to provide gentle exfoliation.

MicroRetinol 5 Rich Repair – this high performance Retinol cream contains 5% micro-encapsulated retinol which provides massive anti-ageing benefits such as reduction in the appearance of pores, fine lines, wrinkles, redness, uneven skin tone.

Texture Correction Pads – this powerful exfoliant helps to remove flaky, dead skin cells and reveal healthy skin below that is primed to absorb nutrients more efficiently.

I am so impressed! And I am 100% confident that you will be too.

Pop on over to Dr. Dermal’s site and have a browse. What I LOVE about the site is the fact that they have made it extremely easy to shop for the correct products to address your specific skin concerns.

Happy shopping!

Mixa hit our shores recently and the beauty blogging community was super excited. In all honesty, I had no idea what they were on about. I have never heard of this brand before, but when I hear words like ‘sensitive skin’ and ‘affordable’, I’m all ears.

Mixa The Sensitive Skin Expert is here!

I was super curious to find out who and what Mixa is and why there is so much hype around this brand. I found this lovely story on their website:

At the beginning of the 1920s, in the outskirts of Paris, in Boulogne, a young and innovative French pharmacist by the name Dr Roger opened his very own pharmacy. A traditional apothecary, his expertise and passion was mixing active ingredients to create ointments that would help soothe a number of skin irritations.

At the time, Boulogne was known as the centre of Parisian launderettes – all the laundry of the wealthy Parisians was hand-washed here by young women, who were among the very first generation of working women in France.

The never-ending routine of washing stripped the natural beauty of their hands, leaving behind dry, cracked, fragile skin. They came into Dr. Roger’s pharmacy, hoping for a soothing ointment that could help.

Dr. Roger used his expertise of mixing active ingredients and prepared a caring ointment for severely dry, rough hands. He used a special mixing technique in his laboratory to blend cream with traditional apothecary ingredients. This special mixing technique then gave the brand its centennial name: Mixa.

Soon, Dr. Roger’s hand ointment became famous and Mixa laboratories went into large-scale production.

Since then, Mixa has kept innovating and providing specialist solutions for sensitive skin to accompany women and their families in their active lives, with effective, skin-respectingproducts, in textures that are pleasurable to use.

Sounds good, doesn’t it? And it is.

Mixa The Sensitive Skin Expert is here!

Enriched with Oat Milk, the hypoallergenic Soothing body lotion immediately leaves skin feeling nourished and soothed, while respecting dry & sensitive skin.

Enriched with Coriander Oil, the beautifully light & silky, fast-absorbing Anti-Dryness body lotion leaves dry skin feeling nourished, supple, comfortable & soft without a greasy sensation.

The Restoring body lotion is enriched with Allantoin and immediately moisturizes dry skin leaving it feeling intensely repaired and soothed. Ultra-light, fast absorbing & non greasy formulation.

All Mixa lotions are paraben free and dermatologically tested for dry and sensitive skin. I have been using all 3 and I honestly can’t choose a favourite. I didn’t expect lotions that moisturise and nourish so well, to be so lightweight. Plus they don’t irritate my eczema-prone skin. The lotions come in handy 250ml (R46) and 400ml (R59) pump bottles.

Mixa The Sensitive Skin Expert is here!

The Mixa Cica Repair Balm is a thick Panthenol enriched balm that moisturises, soothes & protects. It contains no parabens or fragrance and it’s hypoallergenic. It can be used by the whole family. This balm is an absolute winner and a must-have during winter. It reinforces skin barrier function and relieves skin discomfort. It feels incredibly soothing. Cica Creme retails for R80 for 50ml.

I am really impressed with Mixa – products you can trust at a great price. What more can one ask for?

Mixa is available on Takealot.com and, as far as I know, at Pick ‘n Pay stores. Keep an eye out!
