My Swisse Prize Pack!
Hello my little birds! In my last post I mentioned some
Swisse cleansers and creams, so I thought I should elaborate!
Around August last year I was lucky enough to win a
Priceline competition, by Swisse, with
over $150 worth of products. I’ve been slowly working my way through all
of them, because I actually got that much it’s been hard to handle!
I’ve been using the Swisse Purify Cream Face Cleanser each
morning and night, alternating with the Swisse Polish Face Exfoliant. Whilst I’ve
enjoyed the Swisse cleanser, I think I much prefer St. Ives’ Apricot scrub as a
facial exfoliant. Whilst the Swisse Polish works, and doesn’t upset my skin, I
just don’t feel it cleans as thoroughly as the St. Ives’ brand scrubs.
The Swisse Body Scrub arrived just in time, as I’d run out
of my Soap & Glory Breakfast Oats scrub. If you can’t tell from the photo,
I’ve nearly used the entire tube, and unfortunately that’s not because I love,
love, love it. Whilst it’s gentle and doesn’t upset sensitive skin, I found
that to get off fake tan, or to really see a difference in the texture of my
skin, or to really see a difference, I had to use more of the product than I
would of my other scrub. I would probably re-purchase it for use during summer,
when my skin can be a little more sensitive due to sun exposure.
The Swisse Recovery Anti-Ageing Night Cream is wonderful, though
I do have a slight issue with the scent. Whilst I know there are no fake fragrances
or perfumes in Swisse products, the natural scent of hibiscus took quite a
while to get used to. In terms of the general feel of the cream, it’s soothing
and thick, and my skin feels plumped up and fresher when I wake up.
I haven’t opened the Swisse Hand Cream with Vitamin F and
Pomegranate, simply because I’ve still got my Vaseline cream and my Palmers
lotion on the go, and opening a third hand cream seems like a bit of overkill.
From what I can smell, though, the hand cream isn’t kidding about the
pomegranate scent. I’m hoping it’s not a repeat of the hibiscus in the night
cream, however, as that took me a good three weeks to get used to, and
obviously a product on your hands during the day could be a tad more
overpowering than I’d like.
Speaking of products on your hands, I’ve been using the rose
hip oil on and off to combat my psoriasis and dry skin during the day, and
night. I try to avoid using the oil when I’m working, as the oil could
obviously stain fabrics such as silk, but when I’m at home or before I go to
sleep, I’ll rub about two drops of the oil on my fingers and rub it into my
palms.
I haven’t yet used the Swisse Bioactive Nature Oil, as it
claims to do a lot of the things my Palmers Cocoa Butter Firming cream does.
When I go through my bottle of that, I may start to use the Bioactive Oil, to
compare.
Until next time my little birds,
