Essence My Skin Cleansing Gel

Essence have created ''My Skin'', this wonder-gel removes dirt, debris and opens pores to keep your face feeling squeaky clean. It is non-drying and at that same time provides the prefect base for moisturization. It has a wonderful lime and cucumber combination, this not only smell divine but tightens pores and provides the ultimate in refreshment. Essence products are generally affordable and this face wash is no exception. For only R30 your are buying 150ml so its not such a big dent in your pockets:) The gel is easy foaming and there is no after-dryness that can be found in some other washes. It is soap-free and also controls oil production if used in conjunction with the toner (which I will review soon) This wash does help to soothe your face skin and can be used twice daily with warm water. always remember to pat, not rub your face after washing and rubbing can lead to overproduction of sebum and also redness

Clicks Skin Care Collection 101

The Clicks Skin Care Collection offers value for money products that are effective and trusted. Rooibos is an anti-oxidant whcih means that it will slow down the process of ageing cells, renew them and also help you look young at the same time. Now that I have turned 27, I find that I need to adjust my skincare routine to keep my skin looking fresh and renewed, I have found that toning is an ideal way to do this. Do not underestimate the value of a good toner, many women miss this step. Tioning purifies pores, removes debris, residual makeup and promotes skin renewal. Even if you use a really expensive moisturizer, without putting it on a correct surface, you're wasting the power of the moisturizer. Toning improves the overall look and feel of skin and what is really great about this toner, is that it opens your face to absorb moisture. So your skin is really drinking all the good stuff in!!

Nature’s Gift

So here's the thing: Tea Tree Oil is a amazing! Not only can it be used for stings, burns and skin rashes, it provides effective cleansing of your delicate face. The Body Shop which is famous for harnessing the ''proper'' way of manufacturing make-up and beauty products have created a product that is simply so easy to use. Tea-tree stops acne from worsening by purifying your pores from within. Since it effectively removes oil, dirt and dead skin cells from your face, blemishes stop since the face becomes balanced at the same time. You can use this product separately or in conjunction with the toner and concentrated tree-oil (Body Shop sells them as a 3 pack face care set for about R250; I will review these 2 others separately) It also sustains growth and development,as the people from Body Shop ensure that they source their products correctly, so the concept of Beatuy without Crulety is enforced

Happiness in a Bottle?

Imari Seduction Body Lotion has been a favourite product of mine over the years. What makes this more than just a '' body cream'', is that the scent lingers on your skin the entire day making it so worth the price (Usually R90 depending if is on special) It has a musky, lavender smell that will capture you...Its not called ''Seduction'' for nothing, as soon you will discover many secret admirers :} There were rumours of the product line being discontinued, which can discourage new buyers (and even make old, faithful ones like me sceptical), however the product line is still going strong, which we remain pleasantly glad for.
