SO. It's been a hell of a while since we've posted, and empties have been piling up like crazy so here's the first instalment of the collective empties (or bottom of the barrels, as we call it).
Bath & Body
Well winter has passed and we’re officially into spring :)
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to figure out what combination of stuff my skin has taken a liking towards, and what really moisturises the skin’s deeper layers. I have rounded up 4 items (in no particular order) that were more “staples” during my body skin maintenance and shower rotation- hope you enjoy!
For Happy Winter Skin
If you’re living in the southern hemisphere, then your skin is probably suffering from the cold weather by showing signs of dryness and/or other irritations. To amp up our hydration, we have been testing out Alpha Keri’s range for maintaining #happyskin during Australia’s current winter season. This range of body products are lanolin enriched to hydrate, repair, replenish and protect the skin. Apparently lanolin is very close to the oils that are found on our skin, which means that not only is it gentle, but it can also be more easily absorbed, penetrating into the deeper skin layers. Keep reading to hear our thoughts on some of the products in this range!
Shower meets Lotion
I'm sure many of y'all feel the same way about moisturising your body: it's tedious! I generally don't moisturise after showering because I'd like to believe that body washes has some sort of moisturising properties, and also because I don't like waiting around til the moisturiser has "dried".
Upon seeing the Nivea In-Shower Rich Body Lotion being advertised in the Priceline catalogues, I was immediately sucked in and purchased during the week of release. Fast forward a few weeks from purchase date, and I was still using it religiously as part of my shower routine. The instructions at the back are fairly simple- just to apply this all over after using body wash, and then wash off! It honestly saves so much time compared to rubbing the lotion in, and yay, theres no drying time :)
I usually like to let the product "sink in" for a minute or two, and then rise off. The main thing I like about this was that it leaves your skin moisturised, not having to wait for the product to sink into the skin, and not having to deal with the sticky feeling afterwards.
