Some Nivea Spoils for my Birthday!

Shower Care: Oil Peals

There is nothing like Fresh, Clean and Fruity smells in the spring time and my birthday spoils from Nivea came at the perfect time.

I received these two beautiful Shower Gels from Nivea and can I just say, they smell INCREDIBLE!

They are so gently scented and the texture is nothing short of luxurious!

I am not a fan of scents that are too strong or overpowering especially when its warm outside, because when the sun heats up that scent it completely blocks my senses.

These are so gentle, and perfect because you feel beautiful and feminine and I can wear my favourite perfumes without the smells clashing.

I think the gentle smell is fitting to the gentle touch. It’s not one of those shower gels that disappear the moment it touches the shower water, it lathers well, but again, not overbearing in the slightest.

Hand Creams

Last year when I turned 30, someone mentioned that with me that I need to start using anti-wrinkle creams and hand creams more now that I’ve turned 30 and I nearly died! I wanted to punch her. But thinking about it in a little less of a personal way, I realised that our bodies reach prime between 20-30 years.

That kind of blows my mind!

Our bodies start going downhill, basically, after thirty, and I guess helping it along is not a bad idea.

Nivea knows the secret to having beautiful, healthy, glowing skin and sent me three very essential hand creams.

I honestly I don’t see the immediate difference but I feel it. Might be the change of season, but my hands feel softer and smoother and I’ve only been using them for a couple days now.

"24 hour Protective Care
New NIVEA Hand Cream Range – everything simply feels better
NIVEA reveals the NEW Hand Care range that features an innovative and enhanced formula for 24 hours of protective care in a convenient new tube format which fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The NEW Repair & Care variant joins the much-loved Smooth Care and Anti-Age Care Q10 range.
Our hands are in action all day and throughout our lives. From the time that we’re babies we’re touching, exploring and discovering the world. In adulthood we use our hands to express ourselves and manage everyday life. As multi-taskers, women are often involved in numerous activities at once - and NIVEA knows just how to give busy hands the effective, protective care they need, no matter what they’re busy with.
Hands are a complex part of the body. The palms of our hands do not have any hair or sebaceous glands. Furthermore, the skin is as sensitive as our facial skin and is subjected to a lot every day. NIVEA’s Hand Care range combines the most important benefits of a hand cream: reliable protection from external influences and effective care for the delicate skin on our hands.
Offering the right type of care for every need, there’s a NIVEA Hand Cream to suit you, now with a new paraben-free formula with increased levels of Glycerine giving you longer, 24 hour protection and the best of NIVEA care.
Wave goodbye to dry hands
Cold temperatures outside and dry central heating at home or at the office removes natural moisture from the skin. This can stress the delicate skin of our hands, leaving them damaged tight and itchy. The NEW NIVEA Repair & Care Hand Cream is the perfect solution to combat extremely dry or irritated skin. This new product also boasts 24 hours of protective care while instantly relieving tightness. While intensely nourishing, it is light and absorbs quickly, without feeling sticky or oily.
New packaging: as functional as a tube and a joy to touch
In addition to an updated formula for even softer-feeling skin, the NIVEA Hand Care range also boasts a new look with a tube that fits perfectly in your hand to delight your sense of touch “When developing the new look, we wanted to create packaging that functions like a regular tube of hand cream,” explains Regine Werner, who is responsible for packaging development at Beiersdorf. “The new tubes have no sharp edges or corners and a special soft and flexible, easy-to-squeeze material is used, making it a pleasure to touch, both inside and out. They’re also so easy to tuck into your handbag or gym bag for use throughout the day,” Werner adds.

Body Oil

With my body changing these last couple of years, going from bigger to smaller and a few other sizes in between, I guess I have a stretchmark or two… okay, who am I kidding? I have a few here and there, but I’ve been using this for a few months now and I can see a difference. I haven’t struggled with stretchmarks but the few that I did have is significantly less apparent. This tissue oil is light and doesn’t make me feel clumpy or sticky at all.

I’ve incorporated this product into my beauty routine and I feel and see the difference in my skin.

Also, this product does not have a strong scent, which is perfect for everyday use.
