Is it just me or do the weeks really go faster the older you get?
Do we think to ourselves, “Life is running out, we need to get as much in as we possibly can?” We seem to just cram more and more into our days and before we know it another month has passed and we still think we are just getting over the Christmas day hangover. Phew!
If you can’t give up your day job to laze by a pool with a cocktail to slow down your weeks, perhaps you could indulge in these delicious beauty products to make your day just feel more blessed.
Weleda Skin Food for dry and rough skin.
RRP$21.90 75 ml
RRP$12.50 30 ml
This is a nice rich consistency balm for anywhere on the body that is in need of some goodness. Great for hands, elbows, knees and any rough patches that tend to get neglected It can even be used as a face masque and has a combination of 100% natural ingredients such as Chamomile, Calendula, Sunflower Seed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Beeswax.
My hands are my ‘tools of the trade’ being a hairdresser and make up artist, and they get beaten up by hair chemicals and hair colour, not to mention repeatedly washed in water.
I hate the feeling of dry rough hands enough that if I turn out the lights before applying my hand cream I just cant get to sleep because something doesn’t feel right.
Since I have been trialling Weleda Skin Food I have noticed I go to bed with dry hands and wake up with more supple skin minus the dry raspy feeling.
Everybody notices your hands and unfortunately the skin is thin and ages very quickly. This includes men, so don’t forget to apply your sunscreen on your hands daily and moisturise regularly. It also doesn’t hurt to gently exfoliate and lather on a great hand cream before bed.
Giovanni sunset styling lotion
RRP$19.95 250 ml
Available at Farmers and selected health stores
I have found this to be a good styling product for wavy or curly hair, or for straight hair wanting to create a wave or curl.
It is a runny liquid formula and a minimal amount is required.
Great for scrunching into hair and letting hair dry naturally if you are after that sexy bed hair wave.
A friend of mine also says it’s great for blow waving her wavy hair to straight. It puts a good shine and control on her hair.
And it is well priced.
