Review: Redwin Daily Soothing Hydration Hand Lotion

It's always good to have a moisturing hand cream  in your bag at all times. Our hands come in contact with so many external factors so we need to keep them protected  at all times. I discovered this little beaut when I was actually doing some food shopping in Coles and somehow I ended up on the beauty and makeup section *shocked face* How did that happen ha!

It's the Redwin Daily Soothing Hydration with Vitamin E and Primrose Oil. It keeps your hands hydrated for hours on end.  You can get it from Coles or Priceline for $5.

What hand cream do you keep in your bag?

The Body Shop Hemp Hand Oil Review

If you have been following my blog you would know how much I love products that target very dry skin like mine. Dry skin can be such a problem because keeping it moisturised requires a lot of products but finiding just one simple product that actually keeps your skin moisturised is impressive.

So I got myself this little paradise in  a jar  Hemp Hand Oil firm The Body Shop. Its an oil  that cares for extremely dry hands. It comes in a plastic bottle with a syringe like applicator, a little of it goes a long way to keep your skin hydrated for hours on end. Retailing at $20.95  for 15ml of the  product from  The Body Shop, it is a little bit pricey but its an investment your skin will thank you for.

I always tell my clients that the route to getting beautiful makeup is great skin. The first step to looking after your skin is knowing your skin type so you can buy the appropriate products. So I have listen all the skin types and their characteristics below to help you identify you skin type is.

• Little to no fine lines
• Firm with a good muscle tone

• The pattern of oily and dry areas can change from time to time, owing to environmental factors, age, hormones, diet,medication so the skin care needs to be adjusted accordingly

• Visible blemishes on the T-Zone
• Fine lines and wrinkles around the area
• Slight flakiness and redness on the cheek area

Dry skin

•  Dryness increases with age

Benifex Paw Paw Ointment Review

If you suffer from extremely dry hands like myself, Benifex Paw Paw Ointment has come to save you!

I'm one of those people that just can never moisturise enough, my skin absorbs any lotion, cream, oil like a sponge. So the battle to keep my skin looking moisturised and not ashy is like no other. There are many hand creams out on the market but only a few work wonders for us dry skin beauts. 

One of those is Beneifex Paw Paw Ointment, I actually heard about this ointment from my mum. She works in a hospital so she's constantly washing her hands which means they get very dry, and she ends up buying these useless hand creams that don't keep your hands moisturised (which can be very pricey might I add).

The Paw Paw Ointment is described to have a lot more benefits other than helping against the dryness of the skin such giving temporary relief of the symptoms of skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. As well as being used as a topical application for cuts, burns, bruises, splinters etc.  I can't tell you that this ointment does all it says it does but I can definitely say it will keep your hands moisturised and you only need to use a drop, because a little goes such a long way!

 

    

You can purchase this ointment from Coles for $3.99! Pretty good considering how brilliant it is.

Do you suffer from dry hands? If yes will you give this miracle in a tube a try?
