PUKKA

~  PUKKA  TEA  ~

This time of the year brings many things. Cold weather, fog, wolly socks, snuggly blankets, hot

soup and hot tea. Thank goodness for hot tea's to make me not only feel nice and warm on the inside,

but to also make me feel good from the inside! This time of the year also seems to bring sickness

and the sniffles to our whole household! Blah!

These Revitalise and Three Ginger Pukka teas have been a welcome addition to my daily routine 

because they smell amazing, make me feel energized and feeling more like my old self again.

Revitalise -

 This flavour is my absolute favoutite of these two because it smells incredibly comforting even before I have added water and stirred. The blend of organic cinnamon, cardamom 

and ginger give it a yummy, delicious scent and flavour with a hint of organge peel, elderflower, 

licorice root, sencha green tea, spearment leaf, clove bud and black peppercorn.

Brings the bounce back into your step when you are feeling low on energy and motivation

even though Pukka teas are caffine free! Pretty amazing and makes me feel great about drinking

it completely guilt free! :)

Three Ginger -
I have never been too fond of ginger until I experienced the unbearable 

discomforting feeling of morning sickness. It took about a millisecond for me to decide I'd rather eat ginger by  the whole root then bear another minute of feeling like all of my insides are about to come shooting out of my mouth without hesitation. No matter how horrid the taste! 

(Ginger works miracles if your stomach feels uneasy.) 

Over the years ginger and I have become quite friendly as I have come to really appreciate it.

This tea's scent is milder than the Revitalise but stick packs a punch when it comes to it's flavour.

With a blend of organic ginger, galangal and golden turmeric this tea is beautifully strong and

whilst I have been all snuffly and feeling rotten, this tea makes my head feel less heavy and my body

not as weak. When you can't stomach anything else, this should help. Also contains licorice root.

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!

TOP WINTER MOISTURISERS

My Top 3 

Winter

Skin Moisturisers

Avon

Foot Works Cracked Heel Relief Cream

This super thick cream I find best to use at night right before bed or after

a warm shower or bath when your skin is at its best to absorb the cream.

Put on some wooly socks and fluffy slippers. (This keeps the cream from rubbing straight off onto your floor.)
 By morning your skin will feel so much softer,

smooth and intensely moisturised. Be careful though as I've found my feet to be so

smooth they're actually quite slippery when walking on the floor even though the

cream has been completely absorbed. Over time when used regularly,
(I try to do this at least a few nights a week) you'll noticed less rough, dry and if you have any

cracked patches, these will be looking much better and eventually disappear

completely leaving you will baby soft skin.

Lanolips

Lovely Lanolin Golden Ointment

This super moisturiser has been made for extremely dry skin and can be used

on any part of your body. The formula is that of a super thick honey consistency 

without being sticky. Made from 100% naturally derived ingredients and is cruelty

free! Recommended to be an essential carry on item when flying. I have also

personally found it to be a life saver for shipped, dry and flaking lips.

Contains medical grade Lanolin, Manuka Honey, Vitamin E, Seed & Kernel

oils and Carnauba Wax! Totally love this, probably my favorite of the 3!

Bioderma

Atoderm PO Zinc Intense Soothing Care

I don't tend to find the need to reach for this product very often as this is

designed for extremely dry, irritated and broken skin which I rarely have.

However since it has become that little bit extra chilly of late, I've found my

skin crying out for moisture and I have seen that scaly texture rearing it's 

ugliness on parts of my skin, mainly my legs and arms, eek!

So I've cracked this baby out a few times and even used it on my 8 month old

as this is also completely safe to use on babies and children as well.

Double plus! :) This amazing cream strengthens the skin and helps it repair

itself whilst reducing redness and calming down itchy dry patches.

This cream does it all, I can't speak highly enough at how fantastic a job it does.

What do you use on your skin in Winter?

Love Candy!
