L’Occitane Shea Whipped Gorgeousness

With every new product I try from L’Occitane, the more love I have for this brand. I just can’t find fault.

My heart skipped a beat when got home from the hospital and items from the L’Occitane Shea Whipped Body Collection were waiting for me.

L'Occitane Shea Whipped Body Collection

Shea Butter body products always make me sit up and take note as I have experienced first hand the magic of 100% pure Shea Butter.

‘Shea Butter is an ideal beauty ingredient, used by women in Sub-saharan Africa to help nourish and protect their skin and hair. L’OCCITANE uses shea butter from Burkina Faso, harvested in a sustainable and fair trade partnership with the women who produce it.’

L’Occitane Shea Whipped Body Cream

I couldn’t wait to try the body cream and I immediately opened the gorgeous tin. Please have a look at the whipped fabulousness which is this cream…

L'Occitane Shea Whipped Body Butter

It is light and airy and truly has a whipped feel. I have tried many products that claim to have a ‘whipped texture’ and more often than not, it is definitely not the case. The scent is delicate and clean and the cream sinks into your skin. My skin is left feeling soft and nourished. This body cream may be too light for my super dry skin during the harsher colder months, but for summer it is absolutely perfect.

L’Occitane Shea Whipped Hand Cream

Light, velvety, nourishing. It’s a L’Occitane hand cream. Full stop. If you’ve tried any of this brand’s hand creams before, you would know that I don’t even have to try and convince you to try it. And it contains 25% Shea Butter. It’s perfection in a tube.

L’Occitane Shea Whipped Shower Foam

This one surprised me a bit as it was not at all what I expected. You would think that a Shea enriched body wash would perhaps be rich (almost ‘heavy’) in texture, but this shower foam is super light. It is also perfect for summer. It has a lovely clean scent and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft. The pump action bottle makes it very convenient to use in shower.

This is a lovely range and I have thoroughly enjoyed using it. It is limited though, so if you are keen to give it a try, you better hurry.

Regen Ceutic Skin Recovery Cream Review

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.
