In-Flight Skincare

  

I am going on holiday very, very soon (2 days to be exact! Can I get a woop woop?!) and as promised in my previous post which you can read here this is my skincare which I am taking on my flight with me! Long story short I did have more pictures for this post but for some reason I am unable to rotate them so one will just have to make do! In my last post on my holiday toiletries I introduced you to my toiletries bag which came in a set of 3, this is the smallest one and houses my in-flight skincare items. First up is Nivea Daily Essentials Rich Moisturising Day Cream for Dry & Sensitive Skin 50ml. I would never normally opt for a rich moisturiser but seeing as I am going to be on a plane for 10 hours I think its wise to use something that will really keep my skin moist and prevent it from drying out. I love Nivea and all their products I have used are amazing for my skin so I have no doubt this moisturiser will be any different. Next up we have a teeny tiny bottle of Bioderma Micelle Solution 100ml (link) which is so cute! I will obviously use this to cleanse my skin before I moisturise; I will plan on doing this a couple of times in the flight just to keep my skin refreshed & soft. I decided on picking up some Simple Kind to Eyes Eye Make-up Remover Pads (link). I am not usually one to use make up wipes but instead of wasting my tiny Bioderma on my eyes aswell I figured I could just use that for my face and use these wipes specifically for my eyes! There is 30 pads in this tiny pack which I thought was quite good value for money. The next item is an obvious one... Aloe Vera Disinfectant Hand Gel (link) just because there are lots of germs on planes and being on a plane for a long amount of time I am going to want to keep my hands nice & clean & free from bacteria! Lastly, but not least, waiting in the queue to pay I spotted the Maybelline Baby Lips (link) - I picked up Pink Punch. I am yet to try as you can see it is still in its packet but after reading so many good reviews about them I am in no worries that it will be a lovely lip balm with a hint of colour for the evenings of my holiday. 

I am guessing this will be my last post before I jet off to paradise Monday morning so I will be back in two weeks time! Have a lovely weekend.

Nivea Pure & Natural Soothing Day Cream for Dry & Sensitive Skin Review!

Whoa excuse the long title! I suffer from extremely dry & sensitive skin - I cant even wear face masks because I feel like they're just burning my face off! I don't even religiously moisturise or cleanse my skin... until now! Just lately my skin has gone so dry & flakey I thought I need to do something about it! Its obviously to do with the fact I only ever use make up remover wipes and we all know how rubbish they are at moisturising!

So a couple of Sundays ago on a spontaneous trip to St. Albans with my mum I decided I would have a little look in Boots to see if I could find anything to cure my dryness! We was wondering around for ages & I was thinking about trying some of the more expensive products which I've read good reviews about but I just didn't know how they would react to my strange skin. I love Nivea products, I just think they're really affordable and they just feel amazing on my skin.

 

 

Before buying this moisturiser the last time I properly moisturised & took care of my skin was probably a good six months ago! Now I have actually got a sample of the new Garnier Moisture Match cream coming so will also be doing a review/comparison in a couple of weeks! So anyways... I have been applying this twice a day for the last two weeks and I have to say I can't really notice a change... I've still got some dry patches especially on my forehead and nose but it doesn't seem to be as flakey as it was before. I generally just apply this all over my face, more so on my forehead and nose, I wait till its soaked in then I either apply my BB cream (which is Superdrugs own!) with a powder over the top or I apply my foundation (Rimmel Stay Matte) and the Rimmel Stay Matte powder to set my foundation. My make up does seem to go on a lot easier now I am using this, whereas before it would definitely get stuck on the dry patches. I am glad I bought this and I will continue to use this as my primary moisturiser because I just love the consistency of it. It's not too much of a thick moisturiser and you really only have to use a tiny bit. The fact that its in a jar and not a dispenser bottle or squeezy tube (wrong terminology I know?) does mean it is a bit unhygienic so I have been making sure to wash my hands before and after applying it.

 

What do you think of Nivea? What is your number one moisturiser to use? Let me know :)
