I like to think i've always had clear skin, I hardly ever wear face make up but if I do its because I look like Casper and I don't want people to ask if i'm ill haha.
I've stuck to the Benefit Hoola Powder when I do look very pale but none of that foundation madness I need my skin to breathe!
I like most Women only receive a spot to my face at Period time or if i've gone through a solid week of poor diet... the norm for most Women I'm sure.
If you've been a follower from the very start you'll know that I have allergies to practically everything but Decleor and Neals Yard are the only products I use that my skin doesn't react too.
Heres my very honest review of my recent purchase of Neals Yard Products, some products were replacements from ones I've used before and the others are new to me.
Enjoy x
- Bee Lovely Body Lotion- This is my second bottle of this because I love the texture and smell of the lotion. When I first tried it the lotion felt lumpy but smooth at the same time, at first I thought it had gone off! But I was surprised to feel the exfoliating lotion nourishing my skin after a hot bath or shower, it smells delicious plus it lasts a long time. After a while the pump couldn't scoop up enough goodness so instead I just unscrewed the lid, pulled out the straw and scooped up the remains of the cream. Needless to say this worked for my last 5/6 showers. For those with dry skin like me this is perfect for you, if your skin is oily I'd say use one pump at a time and see if you need to add more.
- Refreshing Body Wash- This was a new one for me, I hadn't used it before but since their body moisterisers were so wonderful I wanted to try the Body Wash! I used a small amount on my loafer, sprinkled on some water and it lathered up nicely creating a wonderful smell. The liquid is very thin but bubbly and as I expected it left a nice lasting fragrance on my skin even after my shower. I would say that some of the scents may not be everybody's favourite but I like the smell of Lemons and Limes so it worked very well for me and no rashes!
- Frankincense Hydrating Cream- If you don't know; Frankincense is a essential oil commonly used in aromatherapy, it has a variety of health benefits and is amazing for the skin. This is my Mums 3rd tub, she loves this moisturiser because it really is for all skin types. She explained it as smooth, thin, good for oily and dry skin and leaves your skin feeling soft and supple throughout the day. When testing it I was impressed on how moisturised my skin felt from Morning till Night plus I loved the thin texture. I would say it's like a Day Cream but the long lasting moisture will work great in the night as well. If you've had a long day at work with your full face of make up on etc, I would most definitely apply this after cleansing and toning as it releases a calming oil to the skin to help nourish and revive while your body recharges.
- Honey and Orange Facial Scrub- This is my second tub. I use this once a week to help dig into my pours and exfoliate my skin thoroughly it leaves your face feeling as smooth as a baby's bottom and the smell is a beautiful fresh orange scent. It does say to apply this to a damp face but I like to make sure my face is soaked haha! Sometimes these scrubs can feel like somebody is ice skating over your face but with plenty of water on hands and face you can easily lather this over you and then massage it in. After a couple of minutes gently remove the scrub with a warm flannel and then add some toner, you'll feel wonderful after. Remember only once a week!
- White Tea Enriching Facial Mask- I bought this product because I tried a sample in store and loved the thickness of the mask, it looks like clay but is very fluid like water. I personally feel this is perfect for all skin types, you can leave this on for 10-15 minutes then gently wash it off with a warm flannel. You will then be left feeling moisturised and nourished; the smell isn't as nice as the other products but you can smell a fresh tea scent. I've been using this twice a week and feel its best in the morning as its nice and refreshing.
Finally! I got a lovely array of samples to try. I'm sure my next review will be filled with most of these sample products!
I would most definitely recommend the Neals Yard Remedies, especially for those who have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies like myself. Their gentle and organic products leave your skin feeling refreshed and nourished, comment below on what your favourite products are.
I hope this helped with your future purchases!
