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. 

Simple skincare

Simple Website

Simple is a well known and respected brand. Known for its motto "Kindness to skin" which also includes anyone with sensitive skin. Reliable and always a brand you can turn too if your skin needs, hydration to cleansing.

They say ; Simple® was born in the UK in the 1960s and was the first skincare brand to formulate a product that contained no colour and no perfume; designed to care for sensitive skin.  Simple have been the experts in sensitive skin since launching. Staying committed to our philosophy, as our product range has grown. To be the UK’s No.1 Facial Skincare brand.

 We don’t want to overcomplicate things, we believe good skincare should fit around you. We've pioneered a kinder approach to skin. We really understand skin, plus the everyday challenges it faces. Skin deserves only the kindest care.

Protecting moisture Cream

They say ; Regular use of a moisturiser is essential, to boost skin hydration levels.

Our special blend of moisturising goodness includes Pro-Vitamin B5, Vitamin E, Sunscreens etc. This helps to moisturise, soften and nourish the skin. Our Protecting Moisture Cream is a perfect blend, to help to defend your skin against the environment. Keeping it replenished all day long, even sensitive skin types.

After using this as my daily moisturisers and also I found it calms my skin. When im having a day where my skin has more need for hydration. This is perfect as it absorbs at a rate, so I don't need to keep adding layers. It will protect and calm my skin. Plus a little goes a long way, especially considering its a cream. 

Illuminating radiance cream

They say : Instant radiance boost, infused with multi-vitamins, skin loving ingredients and light reflecting minerals for immediate natural radiant looking skin with UVA/UVB SPF 15 protection. Perfect even for sensitive skin.

I really found the illuminator was a good base. Whilst it was great as a primer and added a great base. It was not really noticeable in other ways for me. If your using natural makeup with just the illuminator, it will give a more alive glow to the skin. Full makeup will mask the glow it's trying to give. 

Blackhead eliminating face scrub

They say ; Spotless Skin (Blackhead Eliminating) Face Scrub is the perfect blend, of antibacterial and cleansing to remove dead skin cells and impurities. Our blend of antibacterial and cleansing contain's Zinc PCA, Chamomile, Witch Hazel. A natural anti-bacterial, which helps to absorb excess oil and fight spots and blackheads.

I am lucky not to need oil absorption. I will use it however when my skin is dry, I need to remove some flaky areas. It would be no more then 3 times a week if I needed too. As scrubs need too be used with care. 

 I have my 1 day each week, where I will use a treatment and this scrub to really clean my skin. I'm very lucky in that water and coconut or natural light soap, is all I've needed. However as I'm getting older, I am finding having a good skincare regime plus more is needed. I would probably use this more in the winter, when my skin is at its driest. On using I have found that it doesn't irritate like some scrubs I've tried. However this is all relative to how hard you use this product. I will rub very gently to protect my skin under the dry layer. This is I think advisable with all scrubs. I would have this as a regular scrub as it does what I need it for and is affordable. 

I'm always impressed with Simple products and never let down. I love Simple wipes for travel and when I'm in hospital, I feel they really clean my skin. So I'm not surprised that the quality was as good. Simple are trusted and they make affordable quality skincare. I really enjoyed these products. 

Sibu Beauty- Nourishing Facial Cream

Sibu Beauty

Sibu Beauty maybe new to a lot of UK consumers. Made with Sea buckthorn a natural ingredient with many properties, I was kindly sent the facial cream to try. 

So it's main properties are 

Our sea buckthorn facial cream, with omega 7 fatty acids, creates the perfect barrier to moisturize, rejuvenate, repair and protect. This light, non-greasy cream is ideal for daily use and offers a pleasing, light citrus scent. It is paraben-free and cruelty-free, and contains NO dairy, yeast, wheat, gluten, sodium or preservatives.

• Rejuvenates sun damaged skin
• Protects against environmental stress
• Preserves healthy skin tone and texture
• For all skin types
• 1 fl. oz.
• 100% natural

This nutrient-infused facial cream is ideal for daily use, with a light citrus scent and non-greasy feel. 

This cream is packaged with a simple white box embossed with the logo. Its in a frosted glass bottle but also has a lock within the pump. So no leaks when travelling. So I have Normal to Dry skin and when winter hits is when I notice this. When I read about the properties of the sea buckthorn berry I was intrigued.

So apologies for the light the weather in the UK is grim and trying to photograph glass or an box is quite a task, especially with a flash.

 Aimed towards helping all skin types by offering a day cream to help maintain healthy skin and keep fine lines at bay.  So with winter coming and I like to have a cream with me at all times so i can moisturise regularly. Hoping to gain the upper hand and moisturise my skin sufficiently, as It helps to keep a good routine.

 Then hopefully not need to much coverage. So as with every year passing, i am noticing changes to my face. This is why I encourage having a skincare routine too women of all ages. Even if your in your early 20's, as trust me it takes more time  to fill in the lines and dry skin later in life. I wish I had started earlier on to keep my skin healthier. 

Now whilst i haven't seen much difference to my face in terms of lines, I do like that its a really good as an aid to hydration. This doesn't sit on the skin and cause it not the breathe. It's a light, durable and most of all absorbs quickly. I only required 2 pumps to cover my whole face, which was very good as the warmth disperses it evenly. I wish other creams would do this and be value for money. The colour of the cream is a light peach/ orangy to the eye with a light citrus almost peach/tangerine scent. I love this scent its so subtle and not overwhelming. Very natural and pleasant to which I always had it in my bag for days I could feel my cheeks and eyes suffering, it also moisturises the hands very well when applying. 

I have noticed that the damage in my hands is getting better, as I have loads of "broken" veins from being stabbed by dr's needles for blood tests. Half a pump rubbed in just makes them more soft and also the skin less thin looking. So I'm happy the Omega 7 rich cream could help with healing naturally, its not a quick fix but its a lovely skincare item.

Also its fair-trade where the workers whom grow and pick this wonderful sea buckthorn earn during the harvest period. They maintain it as a sustainable resource which grows high in the mountains of Tibet. This fair trade relationship ensures the villagers safe working comditions and also offer fair wages. This money to which the whole family can work towards saving, ensures that the winter passes and has kept the next generation safe and healthy for the next harvest. It has been so successful that each harvest brings a bigger wage and more resources to the people in the Himalayan mountains.
