REHYDRATING MY SKIN

I'm back with a review on the 2 moisturisers I use. I love the feel of soft skin (I'm assuming most people do) so I love using good moisturisers that aren't too heavy and don't take AGES to sink into my skin. I think the best moisturisers also include a little something, something that benefits another aspect of your skin. I know it differs because some people need deep hydration, others need blemish solutions (me!) and some might have great skin and only need the most basic moisturiser. I think you should keep in mind that I have normal to combination skin, no part of it is dry. I also struggle with blemishes. I use 2 moisturisers because I bought a DAY cream without realising it and I felt the needed for night cream or night lotion.

My day cream, as you can see, is from Nivea. I've tried 3 Nivea moisturisers and I've loved them all. I can't compare them to any other brand but they have a really nice formula. They are all reasonably priced which gives you all the more reason to buy several! It says on the bottle that it targets dry and sensitive skin. I don't have dry skin but because I have eczema, my face can get a little bit irritated if I don't tread carefully in terms of the products I use. I wanted a moisturiser which targeted dry skin even though by skin is normal/combination because the cleanser I'm using is really drying and made my skin feel really tight and uncomfortable. I've found this to be the perfect solution and although it says the moisturiser is rich, it is really light weight and doesn't take ages to sink into my skin. Bonus! It contains SPF 15.

The moisturiser I use at night is from the Tea Tree collection from the Body Shop. I actually took a survey on the Body Shop's website which, when completed, gave me a few suggestions of which lines would sort out my skin problems. One of them was Tea Tree. Luckily for me, I bought my night lotion from this collection before having taken the quiz! Tea Tree targets blemish-prone skin which is what I struggle with the most. The night lotion has helped my spot cream work even better and has reduced redness around my blemishes and spots when I wake up. I find that some moisturisers can clog your pores but this one does not do that. Although it is a lotion therefore it is more lightweight that a cream, I can still feel it on my skin when I wake up in the morning, so how can that be a bad sign?

So those are the moisturisers I use on a daily basis. Thanks for reading this and see you next week!
