Advantages: leaves your skin baby soft, more even in tone and brighter
Disadvantages: Availability and price

and make-up ranges which are truly wonderful, the Facial Treatment Essence is a must for you daily routine. I have reviewed other SK-II products on Ciao fully if you care to take a look. Before I go on let me tell you about my skin and experience, I have real problem skin due to a rare illness I suffer from, basically my skin is combination, but with some areas very dry and other bits I can get red sores and cuts on, so the last thing I want to do is use harsh products on my skin it needs to be balanced and softened without adding grease. The Essence comes packaged in a simple dark red box and a frosted glass bottle with a silver metal screw top. This essence is from the second stage of the SK-II daily skin "ritual" as the call it, basically you use it after you cleanse and before you moisturise. If you only use one element of the SK-II ...

Review of SK-II Facial Treatment Essence

Nivea Facial Cleansing Wipes

Advantages: Removes make up including waterproof, daily grime & pollution
Disadvantages: Expensive, don't exfoliate, still need cleanser & toner

Nivea facial cleansing wipes and great for several things - taking make up off, including waterproof, cleansing hands or just for refreshing your face to relieve your skin of daily grime and pollution. The wipes are great to keep at home or to carry around with you in your handbag as they are very flexible. These wipes come in two varieties - normal or sensitive skin types, the normal comes in a white and blue pack and the sensitive comes in a white and pink pack. Both normal and sensitive have resealable packs with a self adhesive label, which helps to prevent the wipes from drying out. This actually does work and doesn't start to peel back or loose its adhesive qualities after a few uses, like a lot of self adhesive packing does. Each pack contains 25 wipes. Nivea wipes are suitable for normal, dry and sensitive skin types ...

Clarins Body Treatment Oil

Advantages: no greasy residue, smells amazing, feels luxurious
Disadvantages: dispensing is messy

I was given a bottle of this oil for my 40th birthday. Given the price it will have to remain a special birthday treat and I don't think I will be buying a replacement when it is finished. It is great on your skin after the bath, really rubs in well with no greasy residue. I particularly like putting it on the my legs after shaving if they feel itchy as it is very sooting. My sister got into when she was pregnant to help prevent strech marks. She doesn't have any so whetehr it was the oil or genetic I don't know. It smells absolutely gorgeous, a sort of minty, lemony, herby (no not like a roast chicken) rather than the usual cosmetic floral scent. I don't like to way it dispenses, though. The opening is about 4mm across and you simply pour the oil into your hands. I set a towel on the bed and nestle the open bottle in the folds to ...
