Review: Nivea Soft


Hello! Today I thought that I would review the Nivea Soft moisturiser which I have been using for the last couple of months. I have struggled with acne (now only scarring) for two years and have thus bought all those oil-free moisturisers. In winter though, my skin gets really dry and flaky. A friend gave me this moisturiser because she really likes it and after a week of using it, my skin was all soft and not at all flaky. I don´t brake out from this at all and it also helps getting rid of scars. My skin doesn´t get excessively oil from this either. The pot is 200ml so it lasts a long time and costs £4.
I will keep using this for a long time....



Love, Heggie

DIY: Face Wash For All Skin Types


Hello again! I have tried SOOO many face washes, both cheap and expensive, and now I have found it. The one face wash that has improved my skin so much that it is unbelievable. And the silly thing is that it is dirt cheap. It only has two ingredients: olive oil and castor oil. I found the recipe on the internet about three months ago, and thought that I´d try it. 

Olive oil is a very effective moisturiser and makeup remover. This means that I don´t have to remove any makeup before, not even waterproof mascara. The moisturising part means that I don´t get anywhere near as dry and flaky skin as i get in winter.

Castor oil is the important ingredient. It  goes deep in to the skin to  get rid of the clogging dirt deep down. It is also anti-septic and anti-inflammatory.
