Dove Intensive Nourishing Lotion

Are you like me, constantly searching the internet and the beauty aisles for the perfect moisturiser to finally solve that awful dry skin? No, this isn't an advert for the telly, this is my way of trying to help you dry skin sufferers like me!

There's nothing worse than dry skin. The way it looks. The way it feels. Especially now that Summer is on the horizon and us girls (and guys) are ready to bare our pale pins (legs) we need that moisture in our skin.

I've always been a lover of Dove since I was young, but this has been my holy grail for the past few months. It has a thick consistency, almost like the feel of a suncream. You can feel the moisture! When it says intense, it really is! It does the job like no other body lotion or moisturiser has done for me before. It's affordable- this 250ml bottle was only £1.99! You really can't complain at that! I've never had my legs feel so smooth in my whole entire life. I swear.

So ladies, grab your purse and dash to the nearest Boots! This is amazing, I can't rave about how amazingly well this product works!

Let me know if this has worked for you or if you have a holy grail body moisturiser.

Give it a try.

Brand Focus: Simple!

 I've done a small review on how I've felt about their toner and moisturiser before, but now I 've accumulated a few more products, so here's what I think about the brand!

Let's start by saying that Simple is by far my favourite skincare brand so far! It's afforable and great for my senstitive skin. If your skin gets irritated by products very easily or you find trouble getting products to work well with your skin, these are perfect for you!

 Here I've got the Refreshing Facial Wash Gel and the Moisturising Facial Wash. If you need a deep cleanse and you like that clean feeling you get when you've freshly washed your face then this product is perfect. It doesn't irritate my skin or leave it red and or too dry. It's definitely a great facial wash to use at night when you wish to cleanse your face before bed. Remember though that you'll probably need moisturiser after using this one as it's not specifically for dry skin.

The Moisturising Facial Wash is similar to the Refreshing Facial Wash gel but leaves you with a less of a clean feel. It doesn't cleanse your face as much as the gel, but it still does a good job! If you have dry skin, this is one aimed at you! I use this one more regularly due to my dry skin (especially now that it's winter time).

I've reviewed the rich moisturiser and the facial toner before so above is the link to a full review. But these a daily essential part to my skincare routine and are a constant repurchase! I cannot big up this skincare brand enough! As I have such dry skin I use the rich moisturiser but if you don't need such a thick moisturiser they do make a lighter moisturiser too!

The cleansing lotion is one of the newer products to my Simple collection and skincare routine.  It's a thick lotion that you use to remove dirt and makeup. Sort of a thick version of the toner but with an even more gentler feel. Use a cotton pad with a small dollop of this product or dot it on your face and gently remove it all and blend it into your skin with the cotton pad. Your skin will feel amazing! I suggest you use upward motions when using this one for best results! (Keeps that skin perky ;) haha) Often products like this react badly with my skin but this is amazing for sensitive skin.

In brief, these are the best facial wipes I've ever used! Gentle on the skin, removes the initial layer of makeup in preparation for the rest of  your skincare routine! For the full review click here!

Finally is the shower gel! I know you lot probably did the same as I did. Walked past this shower gel so many times and never gave it a second glance. But as soon as my skin began reacting to nearly every shower gel possible I knew where to turn! This was only a pound, gives you that refreshing, cleansed feel and doesn't react with my skin! Perfect!

Beauty Bite: Skincare Product of the Week: Dove Hand Cream

 So here's this week's skincare product of the week, Dove's Regenerating Nourishment Hand Cream! My hands tend to get seriously dry extremely quickly so I need a quick repair for my skin! Some people neglect the skin on their hands and forget to take care of it like other parts of their body. I think the skin on your hands is just as important. Like Dove says, this cream keeps your hands beautiful today and tomorrow.

 

This little wonder can be used in the day but is designed to work at night! (So no excuses that you have no time to apply during the day). It works by improving the skin 'deep down' and it also claims to work for 24 hours (I'm not entirely sure about that, I'll have to keep testing it).

 

But this is amazing stuff! I've always hated the thick hand creams that feel like you're smearing butter on your hands leaving a greasy feeling that simply is just uncomfortable. This hand cream from Dove is NOTHING like that which was great as I find most hand creams have that texture now. It smells nice, sort of has that Dove 'signature smell' if you know what I mean. It repairs the dry and cracked skin on my hands so quickly! I got this on sale at Superdrug for about £1.39 I think?

 

My favourite hand cream so far!

Give it a go! Make every part of your body beautiful! :)

Beauty bite: Take care of your skin...It's Simple!

 Now the sun's coming out it's time to make sure you look after your skin more than ever! Here's my favourite products I use to keep my skin feeling clean and full of moisture.

  Simple's rich moisturiser is the best moisturiser I've ever used! I stumbled upon it and thought I'd give it a go! For £2 I couldn't really argue if it didn't work well. After trying for ages to try and find the perfect moisturiser which suited my sensitive skin, I found Simple!

 

The thick sun cream-like consistency takes a little getting used to but I've grown to like it. There's sooooo much product in the bottle it's unbelievable! I use it every morning and evening and sometimes during the day and it can last me months.

 And the toner is just as brilliant! It clears away all dirt and leaves your skin feeling clean and fresh without irritating it. I used to find with toners that they would irritate my skin, making it go red and blotchy but this is designed for people with sensitive skin so it's perfect!

 

I found these products absolutely amazing and are constantly used and repurchased.
