valley mill soaps / review / natural skin care

http://www.valleymill.co.uk

 

I was very pleased to receive a selection of soaps to review from this company

 

 

  What the company claims

 

Using only the finest natural oils to produce their range of luxury soap

No artificial colours, preservatives or additives. Paraben free. SLS free. No animal products. Very gentle.

 

 

Review

 

The first thing straight away that I love about these bars is that they are 100% natural.

 

My favourite bar was the orange and cinnamon and to give an example of how natural these bars really are the ingredients are limited to:

Olive, palm, castor and coconut oil, shea butter, orange, cinnamon and paprika.

 

The orange and cinnamon scents go really well together and the soaps are not perfumed and so do not aggravate my eczema.

 

Another point that impressed me is that to get the beautiful colours that they produce they use natural herbs.

 

I had no adverse reaction, itchiness or redness.

I received two full sized samples of the soaps from a large range that this company offers

 

 

The products claims

 

Luxury, handmade artisan soap, traditionally crafted from natural plant oils and butters using the cold-process method. Rich in naturally occurring glycerine.

 

Review

 

First thoughts are the packaging of the products I received was beautiful and these would make ideal gifts. The soaps were also well protected in sheeting which I was impressed with.

 

The soaps are pretty to look at but are also very practical to use and last for ages.

 

I received strawberry crème and midnight mint and both had a very pleasant scent to them.

 

They were the perfect size to put on the basin to use for hand washing and they lathered up nicely each wash.

 

With regards to any negative reaction on my skin such as redness or itching, I had none whatsoever. I have to be very careful what I use to wash my hands because of eczema.

creams&things moisturising cream / review / vitamin a d & e & aloe vera / eczema

http://www.creamsandthings.com/products

 

I received a full sized sample of this innovative cream to try

 

 

What the product claims

 

Creams&things moisturising cream is a secret to softer smoother skin. Use every day for deep dehydration of rough, dry or cracked skin.

 

Review

 

I received this during my pregnancy which was perfect timing because I suffer with cracked skin on my hands anyway, because of eczema, but its worse when I'm pregnant.

 

What I particularly liked about this cream is that the hydration lasted for a long time you don't have to keep applying it all day I just put it on in the morning and it lasts all throughout the day.

 

You only need to use a very small amount and it absorbs very quickly into the skin.

 

I also like the fact that it contains vitamins a,d and e which all help to protect and care for your skin.

 

It has a subtle not overpowering scent which is good for me because perfumed products make my eczema even worse.

 

So overall I would recommend this cream to anyone who has dry or cracked skin or even if you just need that little bit more hydration.

motherlylove / product review / natural / pregnancy / massage oils

 

https://www.motherlylove.co.uk/

 

 

 

 

I have received these three products to try from this company. Straight away I was impressed with the packaging of these products.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stretch mark massage oil

 

As I have already been pregnant several times before I do already have stretch marks but I did find that with this oil it did help to ease the itchiness that you get when your skin stretches so I would recommend this even if you already have stretch marks to limit the itchiness and keep your skin supple.

 

My skin is very sensitive as I have eczema so I have to be careful with oils like this that I don't have a reaction but I had no redness or any reaction to this product.

 

I also really liked the smell of this as the lime stood out and was very pleasant which was a big plus because stretch mark oils usually smell quite strong.

 

 

 

 

Due date pulse point oil

 

This was a product that I've not really used before but I thought it was actually quite nice and refreshing and I have used it even after being pregnant.

 

It has a dominant scent of grapefruit which is very pleasant and not overpowering.

 

 

 

 

 

Soothing massage oil for feet

 

I was very impressed with this oil as I have tried quite a few different oils for my feet and the biggest problem I had was that my feet felt very slippery afterwards. I didn't have that problem with this oil as it seemed a little bit thicker and also absorbed very well into the skin and was quick drying.

 

This also has a light refreshing scent, this time of peppermint.

 

 

So overall I was very impressed with each of these products and would recommend to anyone who is pregnant but also to use after pregnancy.

 

What I also like about these products is all the carrier oils (vegetable) and essential oils are chosen for their nearest to nature quality.

 

Please see the website above for similar products and there is also some great tips and advice on there too.

trishs honey products sample / review / natural skin care / eczema / dry skin

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Trishs-Honey-Products/1392128307696310

 

I received some great natural skin products from this company

 

 

Olive oil honey and Shea butter body balm and sweet almond oil honey and Shea butter body balm

 

 

Review

 

These types of body balms are great for people who experience problems with eczema, like me, or even very dry skin because they give the skin moisture but don't contain the harsh chemicals found in other non-natural products and they aren't as greasy as a moisturiser.

 

They are absorbed well into the skin and I had no itchiness or redness.

 

I like the smell of both as they have a lovely light fragrance but the almond oil one is particularly refreshing.

 

 

 

 

 

Natural hand cream with beeswax olive oil coconut oil and vitamin e.

 

Review   

 

This has a thinner consistency than the others and I wondered at first if it wouldn't absorb as well into the skin but I was not disappointed it worked well and did not leave a greasy residue

 

Again I had no reaction itchiness or redness and my skin felt really smooth after use.

 

I also like the fact that this hand cream contains vitamin e which is something I look for.

 

Intensive hand and body butter

 

Review

 

This was my favourite product that I tried. My particular problem area with my eczema is my hands and so this product came in very useful for me.

 

Its a bit thicker than the hand cream and like all the other products it absorbs well into the skin.

 

I also found that if I applied this in the morning I did not need to apply it again that day as I find with most hand products which was definitely a bonus for me.

 

Lip balm with honey beeswax olive oil coconut oil vitamin e

 

Review

 

A nice light lip balm with neutral colour so can be worn under lipstick as a base or on top to give a nice sheen.

 

Absorbs well into the lips keeping them nicely moisturised but not sticky.

OliElla / natural skin products / sample review

http://www.oliella.com/

 

I was sent a sample of this companies wide range of all natural products.

 

 

 

Kitchen calma candle basil and lemon

 

I don't really use products like this because I find the scents are usually too overpowering but I thought this had a pleasant subtle scent and I have enjoyed using it.

 

What I was also impressed with is that the wicks are made from untreated cotton to avoid the toxic black smoke of regular treated wicks. Another benefit from going natural.

 

Baby balm

 

I was very impressed in this product as it is quite hard to find a natural baby balm that is not filled with chemicals.

 

As my daughter has eczema she tends to react to the chemicals in the ordinary ones but we had no reaction which this one.

 

I am due another baby in September and I would be comfortable using this on a new born baby as it is made with natural ingredients.

 

3 of the LipLicious lip balms 

 

I received three different flavours rose geranium, natural and chamomile.

 

The natural one is great for those who just like fragrance free lip balm.

 

The company suggested this can be used also under the nose and as I get very dry skin there I thought id give it a go. It worked really well to moisturise but to not make the skin feel greasy.

 

My favourite one out of all three was the rose geranium which has a lovely soft scent to it and makes the lips feel really supple.

 

It also leaves a pretty shine to your lips and a little bit of colour.

l.oved organics / review / natural skin care

 http://www.lovedessentials.bigcartel.com/products

 

I received these two very practical products from this company

 

 

 

 

Enriching night moisturiser

 

Review

 

This a really luxurious product that just goes straight into the skin when applied without feeling greasy.

 

Gives the skin a silky smooth appearance.

 

I had no reaction straight after use and as this is a night cream you leave on I also had no reaction through the night either. No itchiness or redness.

 

 

 

Tzone fab facial scrub

 

Review

 

This product has a lovely smell to it as the peppermint comes through.

 

When you first put it on there is a slight pleasant tingling sensation  which is the skin being exfoliated.

 

After use skin feels really refreshed.

 

I like to use this first thing in the morning as I get up.

 

I had no reaction to this product no itchiness or redness which was great because these are types of product that I usually have to stay away from.
