AVENE

Eau Thermale

Tolerance Extreme Cream

Review!

http://www.avene.com.au

Avene to me, is one of those skincare brands you seem to hear about and see a lot of, however I have

just never gotten myself around to actually using anything from this hypoallergenic range suitable for

even the most sensitive of skin types. Until now, I have been lucky enough to try their new Avene

Eau Thermale Tolerance Extreme Cream and I am so excited to share my thoughts on this facial

hydrater!

At a modest 50ml, the white cream is on the thicker and richer side when it comes to facial skin

moisturisers. I found it to have absolutely no scent what so ever, so if you're one of those people

wary of or not keen on scented creams near your nose then this is one you need not worry about!

This rich cream can be used as both a day and/or night cream. As it is so thick and generous, it is

absolutely perfect if you skin is especially dry or irritated. The thermal water, shea butter, safflower

seed oil amongst other ingredients work together in this cream to both soothe, hydrate and soften the

skin.

Avene are the first brand I have seen to package their products in a complete sterile manner. This

unique style of tube dispenser (see image below) works to keep the formulation inside completely

fresh thus eliminating the need to mix any preservatives into their products which can be irritating

and upsetting to a lot of people's skin.

No need to freak out, it is still super simple and easy to use! In fact it isn't complicated at all to

dispense the product out of the tube. All that happens is the little round circle you see in the middle

of the hole inside the flip top lid just pops out for a second and 'ta-da!' out pops a pea size amount of

cream. Just the right amount to cover your whole face, neck and décolletage. Easy peasy!

This product is said to work best if first used with the Avene Tolerance Extreme Cleansing Lotion and

the Avene Thermal Spring Water Spray. All of which are available to purchase directly from

Priceline, Amcal and most other chemists. You can check their official website for exact locations in

your area.

SPEICK

Skincare For Men

Review!

http://www.speick.de

When it comes to my husband, our skin types couldn't be any more different! My skin is pretty
tough. It can take pretty much any kind of product, natural, organic or not and I will never break
out, get a rash or itch or anything like that. He on the other hand has quite sensitive, dry and fair
skin. So I don't really blame him for being a bit fussy when it comes to his manly products and he
pretty much just sticks to what he knows and what works for him. Completely fair enough!

That's not to say I don't try to sway him here and there with other products I come across from time to
time like these German manly skincare products by Speick which has specifically perfect for if you
have dry and sensitive skin made with a range of natural ingredients including Speick plant extract!

SPEICK Plant grown high in the Alpine region & Nock Mountains

Speick Men Active Shampoo
With ingredients like caffeine from guarana in it this product is sure to wake you up in the morning!
Not only that, these products also help to strengthen the hair naturally. Other ingredients also include
fair trade argon oil to give the hair shine. Other plant oils in this product moisturise a dry scalp which
prevents dead skin build up and irritation.

This 150ml tube like all Speick products are made in their home factory in Germany and contain no
synthetic fragrances, colours, silicons, parabens and mineral oil based ingredients.

This is available to purchase directly off the Speick website with international shipping available.

Speick Men Rasier Creme (Shaving Cream)
Interesting fact about the Speick plant used in these products. It is said to be both calming and
stimulating at the same time which I think is amazing and a great benefit at the same time. To be
able to relax the body whilst still keeping it alert and revitalised is just amazing to me!

In saying that this shaving cream also contains a soothing boost of lavender which we all know is
known to also be calming and relaxing to the body. This cream has a gorgeous natural scent to it and
appears as a white pearlescent texture which when applied to the skin and rubbed in forms a nice soft
creamy thick layer ready for shaving. I have used this myself on my underarms and legs and found it
to leave my skin beautifully smooth and somehow give a closer shave than usual. I love how I smell
afterwards! Think I may just keep this one on my half of the shower... ;)

Speick Men Active Intensiv Creme (Intensive Cream) 50ml
This intensive cream is a protective daily moisturiser for the face. With ingredients including the
obvious Speick plant as well as Aloe Vera gel, Shea Butter and natural Q10, this cream is also perfect
to use after shaving to calm and soothe the skin.

The white cream is naturally scented and smells divine! Speick products are both dermatologically
and allergologically tested and completely vegan. The cream is non greasy and keeps your skin
hydrated and free from irritants all day long. No need to re-apply.

Speick products can also be found to purchase online in Australia at

HUMAN + KIND

~ HUMAN + KIND ~

All-In-One

Wash Off Facial Cleanser!
http://www.humanandkind.com

I have suffered from acne prone skin ever since I was 11. I am 31 now and even though my skin has

calmed down considerably, a few weeks ago my skin went on a moody tyrant with bumps and spots

popping up on my cheeks, around my nose and on my chin. :( I put it down to the drastic change in

weather and my body suffering from some kind of bug at the time. Those combined, my skin cracked

it!

Once I was feeling better, I decided to switch cleansers to see if it would help clear up my skin plus

how fun is it to try something new and as pretty, bright and happy looking as this product's packaging?

This Human + Kind Wash Off Facial Cleanser is unique in the fact that is comes with it's very own

wash cloth which you use when cleansing your face to help gently exfoliate the skin as it gently

cleanses. The cloth is re-usable and can be machine washed so totally hygienic as well.

I usually remove my make-up before cleansing, however to test out this new product to and see just

how great it really is, I left my make-up on and used it that way as it says it removes all traces of dirt

and make-up! It really does! My skin looks so so clean afterwards but doesn't feel like I've stripped it

of it's natural oils. My skin is still soft and feels much smoother from the cloth removing the dead

skin cells built up throughout the day and it actually cleared up my break out completely after about

a week!

No Chemicals

No Colourants

No Parabens

No Additives

Everyone including myself seem to be becoming much more aware about what our skincare and

body products are made out of and how they effect out bodies not only on the outside but also the

inside as well as the environment.

Human + Kind products tick all the right boxes with their ingredients being natural and their

packaging recyclable, I am impressed and completely sold!

Active ingredients found in this cleanser include -

Organic Sunflower Oil

Organic Jojoba Oil

Cold Pressed Wheat Germ Oil

Natural Vitamin E

Arnica Oil

Suitable for even highly sensitive skin types. There is barely a scent to this product and I just love

Jojoba Oil which you can read all about my full review on that here as the benefits of it are endless!

SWATCH!

Human + Kind Wash Off Facial Cleanser is currently available to purchase both in store or online

here in Australia from Target for RRP $24.95 or David Jones for RRP $11.99!

Not Tested On Animals!

VELVET

~ VELVET SKINCARE ~

Since 1900!

I believe this brand has got to be one of Australia's best kept beauty secrets!

Why I have not heard more about this brand is a mystery, but having recently been

introduced to their soaps & hand wash, suitable for even the most sensitive of skin

types, it's left me thinking what an impressive company to still be going strong after

well over 100 years! Now that, is impressive!

Velvet Sorbolene Sensitive Hand Wash

This staple hand wash is soap free and pH balanced to keep
your hands from drying out whilst still keeping them clean and free
from germs. It feels nice to use and leaves my skin feeling soft, clean and
smooth.

Velvet Pure Soap

(4 Pack!)

Free from colours and harsh fragrances, these soaps are so gentle
they can be used by the whole family!
I appreciate this because it makes my life much easier with a husband and 2 kids!

Velvet Moisturising Beauty Bar

(4 Pack!)

Usually if my skin is looking on the dryer side, I will steer clear of soap and instead
lean toward a moisturing body wash. However, this Beauty Bar is fragrance free and
won't strip your skin or make the dryness any worse.

Velvet Sorbolene for Sensitive Skin

(2 Pack!)

This soap is the perfect family staple.
It is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin, so it
works well for my whole family!

Velvet Goats Milk Beauty Bar

(2 Pack!)

Goats Milk, when it comes to beauty has lately become more and more popular.
And for good reason! This Beauty Bar not only cleansers gently, it also
removes all your make up & gently exfoliates the skin!
Any 2 or more in 1 product is a winner for me!
This one does a fab job too, leaving skin moisturised and nourished.

100% Australian Made, Owned & Operated,
this trusted brand has remained super affordable throughout the
years catering to it's many generations and no doubt will continue
to do so for many more!
