My love affair with Nivea is long standing. I think I’ve already told how I remember my mum using the classic tins when I was a little girl!
To this day, my family in Brazil uses Nivea a lot – body moisturisers and sun cream mainly, so I thought it was great to bring the brand new Nivea Urban Skin Defence & Detox range, especially designed to protect our skin against agressor found in cities – a bit like a skin superhero.
The effects of pollution are as damaging as those of the sun and deplete skin of vitamins, while fumes as highly dehydrating.
The night and day creams are packed with anti-oxidants, including bio green tea.
The Daily Essentials Urban Skin Defence Day Cream has an SPF 20 and comes in a gel like form. It applies great, absorbing well and quickly, leaving skin fresh and super moisturised.
The Daily Essentials Urban Skin Defence Night Gel Cream is super light, which I love in a night cream. It supports cell regeneration and stimulates detox overnight.
I do love the moisturisers and been using for a month now, but must admit my fave is probably the 1 Minute Urban Detox Mask + Purify, which has white clay and magnolia extract.
Created to draw out impurities, such as dirty and oil, it is the perfect quick fix for clearer feeling skin. It also has some granules so it doubles up as entre exfoliation upon application.
I do love a bit of a mask and a scrub, and my skin feels amazing after use – clearer, smoother and fresh!
It also comes in + Moisturise and + Pore Refine, so you an tailor the routine to your needs – or mix and match!
It’s a simple and quick routine to add that extra protection to skin!
And the good news? It has just launched and the prices are fab – day and night creams at around £7.99 each (50ml) and mask £6.99 (75ml), and you can get it from major retailers nationwide.
You can read more about the range on the Nivea website.
At the moment, you can save up to 1/2 price on selected Nivea Essentials at Boots so stick up!
I’m no stranger to the Nivea Q10 range; a while back I was introduced to the antioxidant properties of Q10, which is a co-enzyme present in our skin.
The Q10plusC Anti-Wrinkle + Energy Eye Treatment (£10.99) is my favourite – you know I love an eye product.
The Q10plusC Anti-Wrinkle + Energy Skin Sleep Cream (£10.99) is a delight. It is a very fluid cream that glides and sinks so well in the skin.
Last, but not least, the Q10plusC Anti-Wrinkle + Energy Day Cream with SPF 15 (£10.99).
It has a firm consistency but spreads smoothly and behaves extremely well under makeup. I don’t know if it’s me but it feels like it creates a good, non-greasy and even base for foundation.
So Many Lovely Things
