Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion


I have always wanted to try Clinique products but I was not really wanting to pay £30 for a wee tube of face cream that I end up hating so when I was on the All Beauty website and found this cream with 15% off I thought why not I will treat myself.

On the All Beauty website it said that this is for dry to very dry skin but when I got the cream it said its for very dry to dry combination skin and at first since I have very dry skin I did wonder if it was going to be moisturising enough for me.

When I first used this cream I found that it dues not rub in to the skin very well but if you leave it for a few minutes then the cream sinks right in to the skin leaving the skin feeling soft but not greasy and not sticky like some creams do. I feel like it leaves a nice glow to the skin making it look really health and nourished. 

When I opened the cream I noticed it did not have a pump so I thought it was going to be hard to get all the cream out of the bottle but it runs out easily yet it still feels rich and creamy. 

I dont think this cream would be good for oily skin but you can get it as a gel for combination to oily skin.

Overall I really like this cream and would happily get it again and the fact that its fragrance free is always a plus.

Dead Sea Body Scrub with Frankincense Oil




I have never thought about using a body scrub before I always thought it would dry out my skin to much since its so sensitive and so dry already but I got a face scrub from Birchbox not long after I started getting it and I really like the face scrub so I thought lets just bite the bullet and get a body scrub and see what happens and even if I dont like it I still have something to review.

I had a wee look in Boots to see what body scrubs they had and I finally made my mind up and picked this one called Dead Sea Body Scrub with Frankincense Oil. I picked this one because the dead sea is rich in minerals and that makes it really good for the skin and I thought having the oil in it would be nourishing for the skin compared to creamy products that can sometimes dry the skin out.

When I went to open it to use it the dead sea salt had settled on the bottom but giving it a wee shake sorts that problem out.

I used this when my skin was dry and then washed it off because the water would have melted the salt so it would not have scrubbed me skin as well. It is a bit of a rough scrub and at first I thought it was going to be to rough for my skin but once I had got out of the shower my skin felt amazing. Normal when I get out the shower my skin feels so dry and I have to get cream on it right away no matter what I use in the shower but when I used this scrub it felt like it had moisturised my skin.

I have noticed it looks like this scrub has dried up a wee bit but there must still be oil hiding in it somewhere because my skin still feels amazing every time I use it.

I would highly recommend this product and I will be buying it again when it runs out.

Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion


The skin is a complicated organ, always changing its mind about what products it likes you to use on it plus if you have a skin condition like eczema like I do then its just a complete pain, you think you have found a cream that works and then your skin changes and its makes your skin flare up and anyone that has an eczema flare up will know its really not fun.

I have seen this cream in passing before but for some unknown reason I just always walk past it but then one day one of my friends was telling me their daughter has eczema and uses this cream and it works fab for her so I thought why not I will try it.

This cream has colloidal oatmeal in it, oatmeal is really good for the skin, it is full of healthy lubricating fats that help to moisturises the skin and the proteins that are in oatmeal help maintain the skin's natural barrier function. Oatmeal is also really good at relieving inflammation and redness like you would get with eczema.

When I use this cream I feel like its not just making my skin feel all lovely and soft but I feel like its repairing my skin. I don't think my skin is as itchy as normal I think my skin feels a lot calmer.

This cream is also non greasy and sometimes when its a non greasy cream and my skin is feeling tight and dry its does not help but this dues. 

Now the only thing that might bother people about it is that because its fragrances free it does smell of oats, its not a strong smell and it dues not bother me because of how nice it makes my skin feel but I thought it was worth knowing.

Overall as you have probably already guessed I love this cream and I will keep using it especially when Im going through an eczema flare up.
