Eucerin - Dry skin products

The weather has not been kind to us whom have dry skin, or any skin type. I find my face and hand's suffer the worst and need intense hydration. Im usually constantly creaming my hands, as I use anti-bacterial on a regular basis due to my medical conditions. I always am on the hunt for cream's that absorb quickly and dont leave a residue behind. 

Eucerin Replenishing Face Cream 5% Urea : This light face cream for dry to very dry skin instantly moisturises and soothes tightness to give the skin a smooth and supple feel.

Product description

Eucerin Smoothing Face Creme 5% Urea is a light and gentle everyday moisturiser for dry to very dry skin. Enriched with Urea and Lactate, two naturally occurring compounds that bind in moisture, it instantly hydrates dry facial skin, reducing the feeling of tightness to give it a smooth and supple feel. It is ideal for use under make-up.

Eucerin Intensive Hand Cream 5% Urea : Intensively moisturises and soothes dry to severely dry hands for noticeably smooth and softer skin.

Product description

Hands get exposed to cold weather, water, soaps and other chemicals much more frequently than the rest of the body. This makes them more vulnerable to damage to the skin's barrier, resulting in moisture loss and the penetration of irritants, which can cause dryness, redness, scaling and irritation.

  

- My thought's 

I used these cream's in my skincare routine's, for both morning and evening. I would even use face cream as my base moisturiser before applying my makeup. It is a light cream which instantly hydrates skin, with only a small amount required. Absortion is very quick with a light layer, I found this to be the method which gave the best results. When it absorbed there is no residue left behind which can make skin feel tacky to the touch. It really helped make my makeup look more flawless, by hydrating my skin before applying my primer. 

This whole month of using this cream has hydrated and left my skin feeling less dry and red in area's that suffer most on my face. Im onto purchasing my second set's now, as its a must have for me now in my skincare routine. They both are skincare essentials and the handcream is always in my bag. 

Nivea Q-10 range & 3in1 Micellar water

Nivea UK

I love Nivea products as they are affordable and brilliant skincare. So when I saw the new 3 in 1 cleansing water, I was so excited. Along with the cleansing water, I also tried the Q-10 hand cream and firming shower cream. Having dry skin at times the Q-10 range with its Moisturising formula would be the perfect shower cream to help improve the skin's condition.

They say :

Q10 : Age defying hand cream

 Q10 Plus Age Defying Hand Cream effectively preserves the natural beauty of your skin by reducing the appearance of ageing and smoothing your hands.

This cream is lovely on the hands and smells beautiful. Well absorbed and only a small amount is required to hydrate the skin. Its a generous sized bottle too, so it will last. Its a fantastic handbag cream and really is great when those cold days hit. Now coming into spring i want to replenish as well as hydrate. Replenishing the skin is what i want to do in the months nearing spring, as i want to show healthy hands and nails. So far my hands are looking hydrated and my nails are beginning to strengthen and really grow quick so i can shape and paint them. I used to have very weak nails that would break and i would end up having to cut them down, now i have a decent size to paint and decorate. They are really lovely looking and healthy, so I'm really impressed. This hand cream is the one i feel can keep my hands well hydrated and my nails health and strong. 

In-Shower body moisturising firming 24hr Care Q-10 plus

Moisturises instantly to get dressed and go. Normal to dry skin Q10 & massage beads & menthol. Skin compatibility dermatologically approved.

I love this Shower wash and it is perfect for dry skin. As i feel my skin is amazingly cleansed and then its left moisturised after i leave the shower. It is perfect for that day where you are pushed for time  need a moisturising product, yet don't have time to put loads of cream and serums on. It really smells fresh and gives a great deep cleaning to the skin, without it being irritating or making the skin sore. Whilst it does say it is firming I can see my thigh area is better condition, yet i do tend to massage and really rub this shower wash in as its so moisturising. So i will spend that bit longer in the shower using this wash, to really make sure every part of my body is well moisturised. I can say that in reading on massage is beneficial so maybe it is helping my legs look well conditioned. I really love this shower wash as its just made my skin looking so much better, as i don't have days where my moisturising step is missed due to less time. 

3 in 1 Miceller cleansing water

Daily Essentials Micellar Cleansing Water cleanses deeply, removes make-up from face and eyes and moisturises in one step. It helps protect against the 3 main signs of sensitive skin. 

Redness, Tightness, Dryness

The caring formula with Dexpanthenol & Grape Seed Oil. Cleanses deeply thanks to its extra effective yet mild cleansing complex. Moisturises and refreshes the skin, Is free of parabens, colours and perfume.

I have to say that in my top Nivea products, this is a definate must have. I love Nivea wipes, however there are months i cant afford to purchase them. So i applied this to my cotton pad, to see if i can get the same cleansing as my wipes. This is refreshing, hydrating, cooling and cleanse's beautifully. It will remove my most stubborn makeup and heaviest eyeliner with such ease. This product is a fantastic addition to my skincare routine and i will always have a backup now. Im so impressed at how well it cleansed my skin and just made me feel refreshed in the morning. Im so glad i tried this product.

Silky Cream  {Les plaisirs Nature}

The enjoyment of a melt-in body cream enriched with organic oats. Nourishing and deliciously perfumed with organic oats. This melt-in body cream brings, incomparable suppleness and softness to the skin veiling it with lusciousness.

This cream is presented in a lovely flip jar that can be reused, after you have finished with the cream. I have used this cream for the past couple of weeks and its beautiful. My husband has even commented on how much he likes this cream. It looks very thick and gives the appearance that it wont absorb, however when it touches the skin it goes translucent. Then when you look at your skin it is covered with a hydration layer, which absorbs within minutes and smells fresh. Beautiful cream i would recommend to anyone, needing hydration after a bitter winter on the skin. This is light and perfect for anyone who doesn't like heavy creams. 

Fizzy Bath Cube {Les plaisirs Nature}

The pleasure of a fizzy bath with luscious coconut. This fizzy bath cube dissolves into a multitude, of tiny perfumed bubbles that burst on your skin. Your bath smells wonderful. A luscious interlude that brings immense relaxation.

This little cube may look small, yet like they say "the best things come in small packages". This doesnt dissapoint at all. Just dropped into your warm water, its turned into a coconut rich relaxing tub. Coconut is perfect for the driest and most sensitive of skins. Also conditions hair beautifully so this water is nourishing, from the minute the cube fizzes away and you step in. Tiny bath cube and perfect satisfaction in one. 

Yves Rocher - Long-lasting botanical moisturising hand cream

Your hands are thirsty for moisture every day. Just like your face, your hands are highly exposed. Protect them by moisturising them daily. This moisturizing cream also has a long-lasting effect.

- Paraben free 

- Dermalogically tested

Botanical Extract with it's soothing and protective properties. Yves Rocher  selected Arnica Chamissonis, for its ability to shield the skin from external aggressions.  

So the hand cream whilst i will say the packaging, is really not to my taste in that it seems to need a slight rebrand. However its the product that matters and how it performs.This cream is thick when squeezed from the tube. However it rubs in well and absorbs with the warmth from your hands. So it doesnt sit and cause sticky or tacky feeling, which is whats important for me in a hand cream. You can feel the cream has been applied as your fingertips feel instantly softer. It smells lightly fragranced with floral  scents and tones. It is a long lasting cream and felt that my hands were softer, after application and not chapped or sore for a longtime. 

Yves Rocher - Anti fatigue foot gel 

Lavender has long been known for its relaxing and purifying properties. It is organically-grown. The fresh extract give us our organic lavender essential oil. Instantly soothes heavy-feeling legs and feet.

- Organic lavender essential oil for the well-being and comfort of your feet.

- Also refreshing peppermint essential oil.

- Shea butter for its restorative action.

Apply 2 times per day on your feet and massage upwards on legs.

The anti-fatigue is new product to me for feet especially. However it makes sense to look after your feet, aswell as any other part of your skin. The lavender is a well known multi-purpose ingredient, that rejuvinates, relaxes and recharges skin and moods. So does the anti-fatigue work for feet ? 

Its definatly cooling and you can smell the peppermint oil within the gel. This is definatly good for the feet, if you are on them alot and need cooling down. Its fantasticly fresh and natural properties help keep skin supple. The feet are the part of the body that can breakdown so easy, so good care is important. This is definatly a product that can ensure this. 

These products are beautiful and affordable. They give a great standard of product, for each part of the body they are aimed at. Ive loved the Natural silky cream as its stunning on the skin and hydrates. Even though some packaging is not to my tastes, the products have shown me that packaging is not everything. We do get lost in packaging but Yves rocher is definatly is providing quality first class products.
