Brand focus: Lipidol

When I heard that the makers of Bio-Oil were launching six new skincare oils, I was curious. When I heard that the products would be selling for R80 a pop at Clicks, I got excited. When I tried them, I was hooked.

Lipidol is brand new range of skincare oils that launched in August 2014. The range consists of 6 oils.

Cleansing Face Oil, Cleansing Body Oil, After Shower Oil, Sunscreen Oil, After Shave Oil, Overnight Face Oil
Cleansing Face Oil, Cleansing Body Oil, After Shower Oil, Sunscreen Oil, After Shave Oil, Overnight Face Oil

I love using oils for my face, body and hair so I don’t need a lot of convincing, but in case you do, here is why Lipidol says our skin needs oil:

‘The outermost layer of the skin is an oily layer. Its purpose is to hold moisture in the skin; an important function because moisture facilitates enzyme activity, which in turn leads to healthy, radiant skin. There are however occasions when moisture does escape. The main culprit is daily washing with soap, which strips away the skin’s oily layer. Another is a dry climate, which draws moisture from the skin into the outside air. Also, as the skin ages it produces less oil and it becomes harder to hold moisture in the skin. It is not possible to replace lost moisture by applying moisture to the skin as the skin’s moisture comes from within. The advantage of using oil in everyday skincare is that the skin’s natural oily layer is continually supplemented.’

I am currently using 5 of the products and I am very impressed. The quality is superb, the packaging is simple and you won’t find better in this price range. I will be posting my reviews on the individual products soon. My favourites so far are the After Shower Oil and Overnight Face Oil.

Check out the stand at Clicks. Chances are that you will not be disappointed. I’m not.

Thank you Adventure Boot Camp. I will miss you.

This morning was my last Adventure Boot Camp for Women session. This may sound strange, but I had tears in my eyes. ABC has played such a pivotal role in my fitness and weight-loss journey thus far. I love exercise again. Most of the time at least. If you would like to know why I love ABC so much, you can read some of my previous posts HERE and HERE.

I would firstly like to take this opportunity to thank Jackie from ABC and Gwen from Enhance PR and Communications for giving me the chance to experience ABC. I will be a fan for life and hope to be back soon.

To my fellow campers… you have made ABC worthwhile. Thank you for the laughs, the encouragement and the inspiration to get my butt out of bed at 5:00 in the morning. I will miss you guys so much.

And to our trainer… Angelique, you are an absolute rock star!! Thank you for the motivation, the constant support and for helping me to realise that I am capable of more. And thank you for the sore muscles and the sweat! I really hope to see you again soon!

Much love.
