Skinfix Ultra Rich Hand Repair Cream










I believe there is two "different" hand creams but, they both have the same tube design. I found both the "rich" and the "regular" hand cream to be the same. I am thinking they might have updated the packaging. 

The dermatologist-recommended hand cream is enriched with shea butter, allantoin, aloe leaf juice, chamomile, calendula, coconut, and sunflower oil to provide hydration and moisture to dry skin. The creamy lotion goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly. It does leave hands slightly greasy but, not unbearably so.

Go To Face Hero Face Oil













I love facial oils! They make skin feel so soft and hydrated. It does wonders for your skin. This lightweight facial oil is composed of 10 plant and nut oils that leave skin hydrated and revitalized. It has almond, jojoba, macadamia, brazil nut, apricot kernel, evening primrose, buriti, rosehip, kiwi fruit seed, and vitamin E oils. It is also enriched with calendula, arnica, and rosemary leaf extracts. The face oil went on smoothly and left my skin feeling glowy and radiant in the morning. The oil has a pleasant but otherwise unnoticeable scent. At $34 a bottle, the facial oil is pretty affordable as it's quite the workhorse.

Premium Barbary Soap - Badlands









The organic soap is composed of certified organic oils of sunflower, safflower, coconut and palm. It is scented with essential oils of sage, lavadin, lemongrass, spearmint with calendula petals and rosemary extracts (these were not certified organic). The soap arrived in a plastic baggie with a heavy duty cardboard box covering a portion of it. Personally, I would have prefer my soap to be shrink wrapped for hygiene reasons. The bar is a decent size, a bit smaller than a L'Occitane size bar and a Irish Spring bar. A tad thicker in width but smaller in length than Jergen's soap. The soap is fragrant and somewhat appealing. I can't figure out why I am not exactly in love with the scent . My first using of the bar, I found it hard to rub against my skin and felt a bit waxy. The second use and afterwards, the soap glided against my skin more easily without a waxy feeling. The soap didn't offer much of a lather nor left my skin moisturized. With a $15 price tag, I at least expected it to scent my skin a bit. Sadly, I didn't smell any of the essential oils on me. It's an okay soap but I don't think the price tag is justified.

Kerstin Florian Krauter Chamomile Shower Gel







The lightly scented shower gel is packed with natural aloe, calendula and chamomile extracts. The shower gel promises to gently cleanses and moisturize the skin. The shower gel provides a  generous lather and leaves the skin lightly scented. The linden extract help calm tension and stress while chamomile helps reduce inflammation. Overall, I do like this shower gel made me feel like it was I having a nice spa experience until I realized I had to get out from the shower and the waterlogged look is not sexy.

Burt's Bees Soothingly Sensitive Aloe & Buttermilk Body Lotion







The hypoallergenic dermatologist tested is made for sensitive skin and clinically proven to provide  moisturization.  The 99% natural lotion is packed with natural extracts of aloe, buttermilk, chamomile, calendula, St. John’s Wort, rosemary and linden flower to smooth and soothe achy skin. The lotion absorbed quickly but left my hand feeling sticky and the lotion doesn’t smell very pleasant. It is not the worst lotion I have ever used but I am not really into the scent and my sticky fingers afterwards.
