I love this time of year… the birds wake me up in the morning and it’s lovely to be able to feel the sun on my skin. My skin does not feel the same way. Change of season wreaks havoc on my skin as it is not sure if it wants to be oily or dry and it becomes super sensitive. Regen Ceutic Skin Recovery Cream by Dermaceutic has proved to be a miracle worker over the past couple of weeks.

Regen Ceutic is a cream that is recommended for sensitive skin and for use after superficial and medium peels to aid in the recovery process.

It contains an array of high performance ingredients:

3% Peptides Complex: A synergy of 2 of the most efficient peptides, which stimulates collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin production to induce an anti-wrinkle effect from within.
3% Hyaluronic Acid Gel which moisturises the skin and improves firmness.
Stabilized vitamin C & E which combats and limits the signs of photo-aging and has an anti-inflammatory action.
Shea butter to hydrate and nourish
Leontopodium which has a soothing effect on the skin

In short, this cream is said to soothe, lift, nourish and firm.

I haven’t been using it for long enough to really comment on the anti-ageing effects of this product, but I highly recommend it to anyone who has sensitive skin. My skin immediately feels nourished and calmed when I apply it and it works wonderfully at combating any redness. My skin soaks it up and instantly feels smooth and supple. I was a bit worried that the cream may be very heavy (as that has been my experience with other ‘after-peel’ moisturisers), but it is extremely light-weight. This makes it ideal for all skin types. The only negative for me was that it on some days it proved to be a bit too light-weight. On those days I would just add an extra moisture boost. Dermaceutic also gets bonus points for not adding any fragrance, the simple yet elegant packaging and, most importantly, it comes in a airless pump bottle.

RRP R535.

I won a couple of trial sized Sensai products a while back (thanks Blog Addict!). I couldn’t wait to try them as this is a brand that I don’t know very well. The one Sensai product that I have tried is their 38ºC Mascara. One word: awesome. This mascara is especially great in summer as you can swim and sweat without it budging, and it is easily removed with warm water (much easier to remove than standard waterproof mascara).

My favourite product that I received is the Sensai Mud Soap:

This facial cleanser also doubles as a mask. It is for oilier skin and has been perfect for me over the past couple of weeks as Cape Town has decided that some days we just skip spring and go full on summer. My skin doesn’t like that and goes from combo to oily in a blink of an eye. Mud Soap beautifully cleanses my skin and removes all excess oil without leaving it feeling tight or stripped. You only need a tiny bit to build up a lovely lather. When I say tiny, I mean tiny. I wasted a lot of product in the beginning. As a mask it deeply cleanses my pores and my skin looks bright and clear after use. I highly recommend this product both as a second cleanse and a mask.

Sensai Cellular Performance Lotion II (Moist) and Emulsion II (Moist)

These two products work together beautifully to leave my skin feeling nourished and hydrated. It also provides the perfect base for my make-up. Both products are for normal to dry skins, but still work great as my skin is a bit older and it needs the care that it provides. This wouldn’t work for me during the day in summer, but right now they are perfect for day and night. The lotion is a watery fluid that is applied first and then it is followed by the richer emulsion. I am very happy with both of these products and I am very keen to try the lighter versions when the hot weather hits.

Sensai Silk Peeling Powder

These tiny little granules disappear and foam when mixed with water.

This enzyme powder is a fab exfoliater and leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and looking radiant. And it is very gentle. I was worried that the granules would be too abrasive, but when you add water, it forms a lovely soft foam that I gentle massage all over my face. I love the results.

These products are the ultimate in luxury and well worth it if you feel like a splurge.
