Motley Crew – the coolest tween toiletry range in town

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 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!

Avène Cicalfate Hand Cream gets 10/10!

I love a good hand cream and Avène Cicalfate Hand Repairing Barrier Cream may just be the best I’ve ever used.

Avène Cicalfate Hand Cream gets 10/10

Avène Cicalfate Hand Cream Pretty Please Charlie

This is what Avène has to say about their new hand cream that’s been available at Clicks and Dis-Chem since end of May:

Avène Cicalfate HAND repairs, soothes and protects very dry, irritated and chapped hands with faster action. Fragrance-free, paraben-free.

REPAIRING – Sucralfate, an original ingredient, facilitates epidermal repair.

PURIFYING – The combination of copper sulfate and zinc sulfate reduces the risk of bacterial proliferation.

SOOTHING – Rich in Avène Thermal Spring Water, it soothes fragile skin. Its rich, nourishing texture spreads easily. Rapidly absorbed, transparent when applied, it forms an insulating barrier on the skin for “second skin” protection.

The skin on my hands is very (very!) sensitive and because I suffer from eczema, I have to be careful when I choose a hand cream. My hands are also EXTREMELY dry. Avène is a brand that I trust when it comes to my eczema-prone skin, so when I heard about the new Avène Cicalfate Hand Repairing Barrier Cream, I couldn’t wait to put it to the test.

The moment I put it on my hands, I knew I loved it. It was thick and creamy and my skin felt soothed. It was like it sighed with relief. But whilst I was rubbing it in, I knew that this was a night cream. There was no way that it would work during the day, it was just too thick… BUT WAIT! Not even a minute later it was all absorbed. No oiliness or stickiness. My hands actually felt quite matte. I couldn’t believe that this cream could go from that heavy to almost nothing in a matter of seconds.

 I think this is the miracle hand cream eczema sufferers have been waiting for!

This cream gives all the care and nourishment dry, stressed skin needs. If you suffer from eczema, dry skin, sensitive skin or you just want to take care of your hands, go get this cream!

And at R130 for a 100ml, it’s not priced badly either.

10/10 Avène!
