In the summer it is important for me to keep my skin hydrated and my hair at all times, because I have quite sensitive skin and hair, and so I can’t always use perfumed products because they can make my skin and hair look flaky and quite greasy.
Talking hair and skincare, if you know of a way I can keep my creams and scrubs and deodorants chilled when we have a heatwave in the UK, this would be most helpful, because I tried putting them in a cool bag with an ice pack from the freezer but it didn’t work. I would put them in the fridge but as I share the fridge with others, so that is not possible.
Anyway, the one brand I always use is Nivea because my skin and nivea like each other immensely and I can always rely on this range. I use Nivea cream for my face and when on offer I will buy the Nivea Shower creams aswell.
I use a night cream from O’real Paris that is really nice from Wilkos, but I am close to using up this face cream and I have bought a night cream from the Simple range to try, so once I have I will let you know how it is.
With my face they can not be soap products, so I use a specific face wash at the moment I am using a Cucumber face wash, but as this is my last tube I have purchased the SKIN range. I do like to mix my face wash up just for a change and because SKIN range seems to be less in price than the cucumber one I using now.
SKIN brand is good, I thought this brand was exclusive only to Wilkos as never saw it in other shops, but its not, you can get this range from Sainsbury’s and does really clean the face.
The shower gel I am using is a Dove one as the pharmacy, Boots had a big size one on offer and I have used Dove in the passed and feels good on the skin and that my body is properly cleaned.
I am not so keen on the Dove body sprays as they do leave marks including the one that says it doesn’t but it does, but the shower gels are really nice to use. I have also got two body scrubs I use, one being from The Garden Collection, which I also have the moisturiser from in this range and a Joules body scrub. These came from gift sets, as I love a gift set and like to use these once or twice a week.
For my hair I alternate products when washing it. The Shampoo and conditioner I use are Head and Shoulders Anti Dandruff and Advance Techniques from Avon. I also use a hair refresher spray from Avon”s Natural Hair care range. I am about to finish the one I have so I made an order for more, as I spray these in between washing my hair and keeps it feeling really fresh and hydrated.
I don’t always blow dry my hair and when it is really hot I tend to air dry my hair as it is nice a cold and I feel so refreshed and clean when it is wet.
I recently bought some E45 cream because sometimes after I have shaved my legs they can become really itchy and blotchy, and so I use E45 rather then perfumed moisturisers because they can cause further irritation.
Never shave with cold water because I find when I do I end up cutting my leg very easily. Always shave with warm water, and don’t moisturise to soon after shaving as this can cause burning.
I have also started to take supplements again to help keep my skin and body be healthy. I take a multivitamin and a cod liver oil tablet, which is great for nails and skin.
Looking after yourself is a must, and we can often forget about ourselves when we have others to look after, so make time to look after your hair and your skin, as we only have one, so lets take care of it.
