[REVIEW]: Human + Kind Skincare

BB Cream and Day & Night Cream from Human + Kind Skincare

Before I tell you about the two Human + Kind skincare products I reviewed, let me tell you about the brand first. Human + Kind is a natural skincare brand from Ireland. They are all for multi-tasking products that contain no nasty ingredients as they are chemically free and a very environmentally conscious brand. They are also cruelty free which I just love! 

Can we all take a minute to appreciate the amazing packaging that this brand offers? It's so eye-catching and fun!

The product that I had my eye on the most from Human + Kind was the BB Cream in Light to Medium. This BB Cream does everything it states it will - it helps to firm, hydrate, conceal, illuminate and even out skin tone. I found that it gives great coverage and keeps your skin hydrated through out the day (I think this is due to the aloe vera it contains). It has a creamy consistency and feels so light on your skin. Use your fingers; a sponge or a brush to apply and you're set for the day! This product retails for R254,99 at Wellness Warehouse.

I was actually pleasantly surprised when it came to this Day & Night Cream. In my mind I was thinking "If it can be used in the day, won't it be too light for my night time routine and if it can be used at night, won't it be too heavy for the day?". Like I mentioned, I was pleasantly surprised by how well this cream works both day and night. Thanks to the active ingredient of Avocado Oil, which is packed with vitamins, you skin is nourished and locks in nutrients. It works for both your morning and evening skincare routine as it's light and not greasy yet still very hydrating. This cream retails for R249,99 from Wellness Warehouse .

A brand that looks after the planet while looking after your skin, is definitely high in my books! What do you think?

Review: Natraloe

A Review on a few Natraloe products

Aloe is one of natures best healing tools, so why not incorporate it into your beauty products? Natraloe is a South African company that is the first (and only at the moment) all natural aloe ferox skincare range in South Africa.

Aloe has the ability to heal, moisturise and soothe and is used in many products because of these properties. Did you know that Aloe Ferox is indigenous to the Eastern Cape of South Africa and is not found growing wild anywhere else in the world? It has a unique ability to penetrate all seven layers of the skin, is non-toxic and easily absorbed.

Natraloe uses aloe as its main ingredient in their natural body care range. I recently tested out a few of their products and enjoyed using them as I'm a firm believer in the healing properties of Aloe - Aloe ferox gel is my go to for sun burns and rashes.

The products:

The Natraloe skin moisturiser is a great day cream with a subtle fragrance that doesn't overpower you. I love that it has chamomile;honey bush and green tea extracts so you can see exactly what you are putting on your skin - pure goodness.

This foaming cleanser contains cucumber, which calms and refreshes the skin after cleansing. It has a lovely fresh smell and is great to use for removing make up as its not too harsh on your skin.

Lets start with the hand & body lotion - wow I'm in love with this scent! Ive always loved vanilla, but in small doses otherwise it is too sweet and overpowering but this lotion has just the right amount. You will find any excuse to keep applying this lotion not only because of its divine scent but the way it is so moisturising thanks to the Shea butter (another one of my favourite ingredients, especially in the winter). Truly a rich and velvty lotion with an amazing scent.

Secondly the cream body wash is also to die for! It doesnt foam but leaves you clean and moisturised after use. The combination of coconut and rose geranium oil smells great and is so good for your skin.

I asked my mom to test these hair care products and she loved them. The Mama of the Glam Green Girl was most impressed about how soft her hair was. Although the shampoo didnt foam as much as her usual shampoos do, the avocardo oil left it looking so healthy and shiny as well as the coconut oil in the conditioner.

Thank you Shelley Lombard for allowing me to test these great products.

I would suggest going to look at the products on the Natraloe website , I love that they even have natural sun skincare - a must ,now that spring will be coming in a few weeks.

Are you a fan of aloe? have you tried Natraloe? let me know :)
