Keeping your skin healthy with Nivea



I am one of the lucky ones that rarely struggles with outbursts of bad skin, the rare occasions are usually caused by stress. But there are many causes of bad skin, here are some of those.

  1. Change in stress levels, stress is the biggest cause of bad skin and effects us Humans in many ways.
  2. Changing skin care products, try sticking to the same skin products.
  3. Change of diet, i myself have recently changed my diet, cutting out white bread, chocolate and Crisps has had a huge effect on my skin and body.
What is your skin?

Dry skin- when your skin is exposed to cold weather or dry air especially in the colder months, using moisturise is the perfect way to keep your skin hydrated and smooth. Nivea produces some excellent products i use all year round.

Combination Skin- can be a mixture of normal skin and oily skin, people that have combination skin may benefit for different types of skin products.

Oily Skin- This type of skin can change by time of year or weather, exposure to heat and humidity can cause oily skin.

Nivea body rich moisturiser is my essential moisturiser in the winter and all year round, long lasting with Almond oil it instantly softens your skin. For the best results apply this all over the body daily and reapply on dry skin areas.

Another great moisturiser from nivea is the Body lotion Express Hydration (white bottle in Photo above) this moisturised is designed for normal skin with ultra fast adsorbing formula and a long lasting feel, enriched with sea minerals this moisturiser is again perfect for all year round.

I suffer from very sensitive skin, change in skin care products, shower gels or even make up wipes can cause my skin to spiral out of control. Especially make-up wipes a few years ago now, i suffered from a severe allergic reaction from wipes and have refused to use them since.

 So my evening regime, is cleaning my make up off with water and apply the nivea refreshing facial wash gel, i do this before bed and when i wake up, containing Vitamin E this Facial wash cleanses and hydrates your skin and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and looking healthy. Its extremely simple to apply, wet your face and massage the nivea gel wash in small upward circles avoiding the eye, rinse off with Lukewarm water.




Another great nivea facial product is the Double effect eye make-up remover, this is perfect for getting eye-liners and mascaras off at the end of the day. The oil phase efficiently removes even waterproof mascara especially formulated for sensitive skin and no rubbing required.
The nivea 2 in 1 Cleanser and toner is also ideal for daily use, this cleanser and toner deeply cleanses, tones and moistures for a fresh skin feeling and contains Vitamin E. This cleanser can also be used as a make-up remover and removes daily impurities.
Nivea also do a great range of hand lotions, creams and lip balms.



My favourite hand cream out of them all is the smooth moisturising hand cream i can apply this to me hands up to five times a day maybe more in the colder months. The other two nivea hand creams are just as good, the age defying has Q10 and visibly reduces the appearances of fine lines and wrinkles. This hand cream also contains UVA/UVB  filters that help prevent sun induced age spots developing. The Express hydration hand cream is similar to the body lotion quick adsorbing and contains sea minerals. 





I will go no-where without my Nivea lip Balm, if i don't have it with  me i feel completely lost, entirely sociological no lip balm i instantly start feeling my lips starting to dry up (weird i know)  its an absolute necessity to have in my handbag.  
The Nivea comes in three different types the dark blue one being a daily moisture for your lips (my favourite) the light blue is Hydro care, especially designed to protect your lips from the sun. The pinky lip balm comes with a pearly shine and almost acts as fantastic lip gloss as well as a moisturiser. I have recently discovered the two little tins of lip balm at the front, these are extremely handy to just keep in your pocket the blue being original lip balm and the pink one having a raspberry rose flavour. 

All of nivea products are at an affordable price and can even have exceptional offers on, so keep an eye out in your local stores. These are just some of the products that Nivea produce, as you can see most of these products are for my skin type, dry and sensitive. They do a huge range of products for different skin types, from oily skins to Combination skins. If your looking for a new daily regime of healthy skin these are the perfect products to go for. Keep posted for my more great skin products!
