CAROLS BEAUTY


~  CAROL'S BEAUTY  ~

http://www.carolsbeauty.com.au

I was born with naturally super white skin, however I do have photos of myself quite young and
being super tanned from always being out in the sun. Back in the 80's when sun protection wasn't such
a big deal as it is now. So in saying that, I have always had skin which tanned easily and quickly and
rarely burned. However I am a firm lover, supporter and believer in a good old fake bake and lately I
have been testing out some newbies which help to enhance your tan making it last longer whilst also
keeping your skin nice and moisturised, reduces the signs of ageing AND they're Aussie made and
owned as well as Australian Certified Organic! Sold! :)

Mini 30ml bottles also available to try for $9.99 each!

Sun Tanning Enhancer Carrot & Henna Oil
I always apply sunscreen whenever I am outside in the sun, especially on days when I'm at the beach,
pool or just outside in my backyard playing with my kids. Sun protection is imperative to both mine and
my families health in the unforgiving QLD sun. So the fact this product is designed to apply with sun-
screen is genius! So I can apply both and not have to worry.

The oil enhances my skin's natural tan without me having to risk over doing it in the sun. This product is
packed full of a very impressive amount of over 600 antioxidants which work hard to slow down and
 help prevent ageing. I am very aware of the fact the sun is one of the biggest contributors to pre-mature
 ageing skin. I have seen it and I don't want to risk that, it just isn't worth it when it is so easy to fake it
all the way!

This product also smells amazing and contains Ylang Ylang, Bees Wax, Almond Oil, Carrot Oil,
Sunflower Oil & Henna Extract. It is so deliciously scented, it keeps me smelling awesome all day!
RRP: $34.99 (150ml)

Sun Tanning Enhancer Carrot & Hanna Lotion
This product is almost identical to the Sun Tanning Enhancer Oil, however it is in lotion form rather
than oil. It is also designed to enhance and prolong your tan when used in conjunction with your
regular everyday SPF. It also does a top job at keeping your skin super moisturised in the process.

Also contains Ylang Ylang, Bees Wax, Almond Oil, Carrot Oil, Sunflower Oil & Henna Extract.
It is impossible to choose which product I prefer as they are both lovely and work as well as each other.
However, if I had to choose, I would have to pick the lotion, and that is just my personal preference over
using an oil as I find lotions generally easier to apply.

The formula of this was a surprise as I was expecting more of a white or tan coloured cream. However
the jelly like orange lotion actually feels pretty much the same as your typical cream or white coloured
kind and applies the same way. It absorbs really well and you can feel how soft and moisturised your skin feels afterwards.
RRP: $34.99 (100ml)

AVEENO

~  AVEENO  ~

Daily Moisturising Lotion

http://www.aveeno.com.au

Today I want to write about an old classic when it comes to body moisturising as I have been using
Aveeno for many years and swear by it to nourish and deeply moisturise your skin from head to toe
by soaking gently into your skin and smoothing out that scaley surface we all sometime get especially
it this cool weather.

This Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion is completely fragrance free so it is perfectly suitable for
even those with super sensitive skin. I have normal skin, however I always moisturise top to bottom
daily after showering. It has been part of my routine for about five or so years and I often get
complimented on how young and good my skin looks, so I believe a large reason my skin still looks
smooth, soft and new is because I am so vigilent in looking after my skin and it has paid off!


Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion is particularly perfect for this time of the year when the wind 
begins to blow and the weather becomes unforgivingly chipper because as we live in these elements
they can speed up the drying out process on our skin causing cracked lips and drier than usual skin.

Even if you skin becomes irritated from the weather or from becoming excessively dry, this product
will give some relief and immediently put back some of that natural moisture our skin craves for up
to 24hrs! Made from naturally active ingredients including Oatmeal which is particularly soothing
to the skin.

Aveeno products can be found in many stores to purchase including - Priceline, Coles, Woolworths,
Target, K-Mart & BigW. 



Have you tried any products from the Aveeno range?
Do you suffer from dry, sensitive or irritated skin?

MOISTURISERS


~ Moisturisers ~

I have a problem...!!!


So if you've been regularly reading my blog from the beginning you know that
I am trying to de-clutter my home. We have two little ones to make space for in
our little rented unit. So today was another look into my beauty cupboard to
see what I could either use up, toss, sell or giveaway.

This is when it dawned on me... I have more moisturisers, body lotions, shimmers
& creams than I'll probably ever use! O_o

I'll admit, I knew I had quite a few and I swear I've been really good at lathering up
after I shower every single day, but upon actually digging them all out today it shocked me at how

SUNSCREEN IN WINTER



~ Neutrogena Beach Defence ~

Water + Sun Barrier Lotion


You might think me to be a little strange to be writing a post about 
sunscreen when it's the middle of winter, but hear me out as I justify
my crazy ways.

We all know the harmful effects the sun can have on our skin, hair, eyes, etc!
But did you know the sun's most damaging UVA & UVB rays can actually strike you
on cloudy days! So even if it is rain, hail, even snow or shine, we really all
should be lathering up in this stuff year round!

I was fortunate enough as part to Beautyheaven's video trial team to test this 
particular lotion out and I have to say, it has remained a firm favourite for our
whole family. (We're onto our second bottle!)

The bright yellow bottle is just so bright and fun looking, it makes me happy
to look at on those cold winter mornings whilst dreaming about the warm sunshine,
and sand between my toes as I walk along the warm waters edge.....

What I love about this is the super high SPF of 50! With a young family, it is so
important to me to look after them and with this at least I know I am giving them
the best skin protection I can. It is also water resistant for up to 4 hours, which Is
perfect in the warmer months when we're swimming in the pool or at the beach.

The lightweight formula makes it easy to apply and rub in without giving you that
less than appealing white ghost look. It absorbs into the skin quickly and isn't greasy,
nor does it even smell like your typical sunscreen lotion! The scent is more like a
light fragranced moisturiser. 

All pluses with this one, I really cannot fault this product!
A staple I recommend every household should own!

Want to know more?
