Healing Earth African Ginger Corrective Cream

This firming body cream is a treat. It contains ginger to tone and brighten the skin. Extracts of fennel, black pepper and cypress also aid in toning and firming. This cream, as with all Healing Earth creams, is free of parabens, preservatives and mineral oils, and no artificial fragrances or colours have been added. It smells lovely, is very moisturising and soothing and it does not irritate my sensitive skin.

Healing Earth Pinotage Facial Polish

Can we just first chat about how stunning this product looks?! I love the packaging. This facial scrub is made from real Pinotage grapes that are said to improve skin’s elasticity. Unfortunately, I don’t use physical exfoliators on my face as my skin is way too sensitive (especially during winter). I’ve also been told that my skin has a weakened barrier, so I decided to not aggravate the beast any more than it already is. Not that I think that this scrub is harsh at all though. I have been using it on my hands (which are just as sensitive as my face) and I love it. It leaves my hands feeling soft and smooth. It’s gorgeous.

Healing Earth Marula & Rose Hydrating Face Serum

This serum is a Fairlady Consumer Awards 2010 Winner! I am not surprised. It is amazing during the winter months especially. And if you suffer from dry skin, you have to give it a try. It contains loads of wonderful oils yet it is surprisingly lightweight (considering!). I found that it works best for me as part of my evening skincare routine, but on days that my skin felt particularly sensitive and dry, it worked very well under my day moisturiser as well. Two thumbs up for this beauty.

Thank you so much for introducing me to your brand Healing Earth. I love it.

NIVEA Rich Nourishing Body Lotion Review

Dry, scaly, tight skin? I feel your pain. I have extremely dry skin and it requires a lot of love and attention. Especially in winter. NIVEA comes to the rescue again. Not that it is a surprise to most of us, hey?! NIVEA is awesome.

NIVEA Rich Nourishing Body Lotion Review

NIVEA Rich Nourishing Body Lotion review

If you have normal skin, you can stop reading now. I can almost guarantee that you will hate this lotion.

It is heavy and rich.

And that is exactly what my skin needs in winter. It tends to take a bit of time to fully absorb, but I don’t mind. I can feel my skin sighing with relief when I apply it. It leaves my skin feeling smooth, comfortable and nourished for the whole day. The care that this lotion provides, lasts. And that is quite a feat during the cold, dry months.

If your skin needs a little extra care, NIVEA Rich Nourishing Body Lotion is for you.

Want to know what makes the gorgeous lotion even better? The price!

250ml goes for R36.99, 400ml for R47.99 and a massive 625ml pump bottle goes for only R69.99.

And now you know ;)
