Body shop and No7!!

Hey everyone so i thought id show you some of the amazing gifts i got for christmas. I have really sensitive skin so i have to be very careful with the types of products i use. When i can afford to i often use the body shop range of products because they use only natural products and are perfect for people with skin like mine.

For christmas i was bought a hamper that had a load of goodies from The body shop in it. As you can see here ive separated the two smells to give you guys an idea. These are a great gift idea, this hamper cost like £40 and has around £60-£70 worth of stuff in it, as a heads up for next year :).

As you can see the two main smells in this hamper are coconut and strawberry, i have to say they are both beautiful. I got two body butters which are perfect for people with dry skin as they leave you feeling moisturised all day, ive found with cheaper body butters i have to re-apply it every 4-5 hours which is a major inconvenience. They also smell amazing, i dont think there's a single one i dont like from the body shop. In this hamper i also got two different types of exfoliator, the coconut one is alot more corse than the strawberry one, i generally use this once a week before i tan, again people with dry skin it is good to exfoliate once a week just to remove some of the dryness. The body polish i one i would use around half way through the week just as a light top up on the main exfoliation, you dont want to exfoliate too much or you will create sore skin. 

The coconut shower cream is perfect to use in-conjunction with the corse exfoliator as this acts as a moisturiser. It feel amazing on your skin and leaves a great base for applying the body butter and fake tan (just make sure you dont fake tan straight away).

I use the strawberry shower gel when i want the smell of strawberries to last through the day, finish it off with the strawberry body butter and you smell amazing all day, this is a nice little touch when going on a night out.

This No7 foaming shower oil is what my nan got me as part of my christmas present (along with an amazing hand knitted jumper). I was a little unsure of this when i first opened it as it comes out the same consistency as a body oil. I later found out that it turns into a shower gel like substance and leaves your skin feeling so soft and supple. Again this is absolutely perfect for people with sensitive skin or any skin complaints. It is hypoallergenic and smells beautiful. (I dont know if you have picked up by now but i love amazing smelling body butter and shower gel). I tend to use this once a week teamed with the corse exfoliator, shower cream and body butter. Ive found over the past few weeks following this simple routine my skin has been alot less irritating, looks and feels alot smoother and smells gorgeous.
It seems like a lot of fuss when all you want is a shower but it is worth it, especially if you suffer from eczema, during the winter your skin can become very dry so its always good to look after it.

I hope this helps some of you guys out there who are like me :D.
Enjoy the snow.
