Green People: Neutral Scent Free Cleanser & Anti-Aging 24-hour Cream Reviews

Green People: Neutral Scent Free Cleanser & Anti-Aging 24-hour Cream Reviews

The lovely Amy at Green People sent me over a few products to try from their scent free range for their sensitive skin week and I am so pleased she did as I am completely converted already!

I don't like to use anything harsh on my skin as its so temperamental so these products sounded absolutely perfect. They are free from essential oils, alcohol, parabens, lanolin and lots of other nasties which can cause reactions. They don't test on animals either which is another thing that I love about them!

Neutral Scent Free Cleanser £18.95*
This cleanser is a make-up remover as well as a cleanser so I have been using this to double cleanse my face. The consistency reminds me of the Liz Earle cleanse and polish, its almost like a thick cream/balm which feels nice and luxurious when you apply it. I don't wear much make but this cleanser removes what I do wear easily, it gets rid of my mascara without making my eyes sore too which is rare for me! I had a few break outs before using this which I think was down to going back on the pill and this has really helped to calm the redness and I haven't had any new breakouts since using this cleanser day and night. I find that my skin doesn't get feel really dry after cleansing with this, it feels very soft and balanced. It really is an amazing cleanser and I totally converted, its quickly become my favourite cleanser to use.

Anti-Aging 24-Hour Cream £15.95*
I am used to smothering my skin in thick rich greasy creams to try and nourish my dry skin so this cream was a bit different to what I was used to. 
This cream is a day & a night cream which is free from all the nasties mentioned above but it does contains Organic Evening Primrose, Avocado, Squalane from Olive, Green Tea, Baicalin & Seaweed which are all amazing for sensitive skin.
This moisturiser has a very similar texture to the cleanser, it goes on a like a balm and doesn't feel greasy in the slightest, it has a sort of matte feel to it. It makes my skin feel so smooth by the morning without that shiny greasy suffocating your skin feeling. I am really picky about my moisturisers but I love this!

I am so so impressed by this brand and I'm so pleased I've been introduced to them as their products work so well with my sensitive skin. I cant wait to try more of their products & I'm eyeing up their make up and anti-aging face oil next!

You can get 10% off of their scent free range all through April and they even do little miniatures to try. I've added a link here to their scent free skin care range if you fancy a browse.

Aveeno Skin Relief Moistursing Lotion Review & Pictures

Hey Girls,

I've got another little review for you on a new body lotion I've been using. You may know already that I love my Body Shop aloe vera body butter but that does leave a sort of residue on your skin and if I have a shower before bed I'm not a massive fan of that feeling. That is where this lotion comes in!

I've never tried any Aveeno products before but i spotted this on a recent Boots binge and loved the description. 'Moisturising lotion with naturally active triple oat complex for extra dry, irritable and sensitive skin. Immediately relives and moisturises the skin for 24 hours.' I do try to moisturise twice everyday but it hard to remember all the time and sometimes i just cant be bothered! When i read that this moisturises for 24 hours i didn't really believe it if I'm honest but it really does! I apply this after my shower in the evening and it really does soften and hydrate your skin immediately even in the morning it doesn't feel like i really need to moisturise again which is a bonus!

It's quite a thick lotion but it sinks in right away and doesn't leave a residue at all unlike the body butters. My skin feels moisturised but mattified if you know what i mean. I love that its a pump bottle too but you can also get a squeezy tube version if you prefer that.

This may be a little too heavy for the summer time but for now its lovely and I'm really enjoying using it. I really recommend this, i will be repurchasing when it runs out :)

The Body Shop | Hemp Face Protector & Aloe Soothing Night Cream Review & Pictures

Hi Girls ♥,

Long essay post alert!

I finished work early last week so i went for a little window shop and popped into my local body shop, I've never really got into products from the body shop in the past but I'm not really sure why. I was in there for absolutely ages having a butchers at everything. I think the shop assistant thought i was a bit dodgy and up to something i was in there so long, lingering around like a bad smell!
 

So anyway there were a few things that caught my eye, but even after trying all the testers a few times i didn't actually buy them, i just couldn't decide. I've got so many face creams i thought I'd better control myself for once and not buy anymore but then a few days later my skin suddenly got so sore and sensitive i logged onto the body shop website and brought the 2 face creams I'd been eyeing up. 

 

I got the Aloe soothing Night cream (£11 for 50ml) and the Hemp face protector (£8 for 50ml) I'd seen a few reviews on the hemp face cream from people with eczema and sensitive skin so i thought this would be the better of the two. 

 I actually found that the Hemp face cream stung my face even though its for very dry skins, it was so bad on my dry cheeks that i don't use on my face at the moment. I've been using this as a hand/arm cream and its fine and not stingy at all so at least i can use it and it wasn't a waste. Maybe it will be better when my skin has calmed down a bit and isn't so sensitive and sore. It does contain fragrance so maybe this is the problem? it does smell quite nice though, sort of florally & fresh.

So onto the Aloe Soothing Night cream. This has been amazing for me recently, when my skin gets sore it gets really sore and this has really saved & soothed it. I slather it over my dry cheeks and it worked wonders, it sinks right in and isn't greasy in the slightest. It doesn't have perfume either which is a massive bonus for me. It's not the best moisturiser in the world but it helped my skin get back to normal without breaking me out.

 

Both creams are really thick, if you shake the pot around the creams stay put and don't budge. The Hemp Cream is a little thicker I'd say and takes a little longer to rub it but it isn't greasy in the slightest. The hemp cream makes my hands feel really soft so if your skin isn't as reactive and sensitive as mine then this would probably be quite nice for you.

 

I have repurchased another aloe night cream along with the Calming facial cleanser, day cream and luxury face flannel. I was going to buy all of these anyway but then i came across the gift set below which is amazing value @ £14 - it would be £28 if purchased separately.

 

I have now purchased the Aloe body Butter, lip treatment & restoring Mask, i will write a long old review on it all once I've gave it a thorough testing ♥

Skin MD Natural Sheilding Lotion Review & Pics

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion

What they Say: 

Shielding lotion duplicates and enhances your skin's natural and protective barrier. Just a small application of Skin MD Natural daily protects your skin from damage and delivers hours of soothing moisture, and for those of you who have excessive dry skin can help in relieving itching.

I'm a sucker for a cream! I came across this by mistake on Amazon. It was £15.35 including delivery for a 120ml bottle which is quite expensive but I read so many good reviews about it I thought it would be worth a try.

 

This looks like a serum rather than a cream. It has a slight scent which is nice but this must be natural as it doesn't contain fragrance. 

I received this this morning and I've already applied this a few times today onto my arms. It's not greasy at all but it makes your skin feel really soft instantly and it doesn't feel dried out at all. I've tried it on my arms today and if all's OK I will give it a go on the old face and see how I get on. 

I have high hopes for this stuff so fingers crossed!! 

1 Month On:

OMG .. This stuff is amazzzzzzzing! Honestly, I am so glad I came across this is the best I have ever used. I've been using it on my face (and body!) day and night and for any dry bits during the day and I absolutely love it. It doesn't sting, it doesn't burn - it’s brilliant. It gets rids of my flakeys easily and I've even stopped using my steroid cream which is a massive step forward for me. I put it on when I'm feeling itchy and it relives the itchy-ness too and it hasn’t broken me out!!

Honestly if you have eczema or dry skin you have to try this, it’s the best product I own!! I've already ordered my second bottle so I don't run out :)
