Galenic Argane Creme Confort Infinite

The Argane Creme Confort Infinite was sent to me in my package from Farmaline http://emmaloujohansson.blogspot.com/2013/10/farmaline.html . I have never heard of Galenic Paris before but Galenic are a 'youthful skin expert, Galenic proposes high end, natural beauty products sold in pharmacies'. 

I was sent the Argane Creme Confort Infinite which is for very dry skin which you apply morning and/or evening to the face and neck,  this sounds perfect for me! It also helps protect the skin from signs of ageing which is an added bonus as I dont want no wrinkles!

It contains Argane Oil with Vitamin E, this helps to moisturise and nourish, Argane Peptides which stimulate cell renewal, Beeswax which is also nourishing and protective,Shea Butter which is nourishing, protective and repairs, Seasme Oil which is nourishing and prevents the skin from drying and Calendula extracts which is cooling and finally Vitamin E which is an antioxidant.

This all sounds really good to me so I was pretty excited to try this out. 

The first thing in which I noticed about this product was the smell, its absolutely incredible!! This applies really well and absorbs well too, leaving that wonderful scent behind! This Creme works wonders, my skin is no longer dry :) and this will be great for the winter months for me when my skin can get really bad and dry out. You also do not need to apply a lot of this.

This is around £27.00 for 50ml at Farmaline which isnt on the cheap side but it is better then having dry skin. I found last year when my skin got really bad that nothing was working for me, if only I knew about this then!

Galenic you have impressed me! I would love to try some more of their products and hope they are as good as this. You can do a skin diagnostics on their website http://www.galenic.com/my-diagnosis/skin# where you answer 5 questions and they recommend certain products of theirs for your skin needs.

Have you heard of Galenic before?

Garnier Body Repair - Extra Dry Skin

As it's now approaching the colder months I thought I would do a post on my favourite body moisturiser at the moment. As my skin gets very dry especially in the winter!

Garnier Body Repair for extra dry skin is an anti dryness restoring moisturiser. This one contains maple sap which is known for 'its soothing properties'. It also is meant to make your skin feel more comfortable and relieve the tightness and roughness and leave skin moisturised for 24 hours.

On the Garnier website it states 97% agreed skin feels more comfortable after first use.

Now I found, that this extra dry skin one was hard to come across, wherever I looked it was out of stock and it felt like I was searching for the Holy Grail!

I finally found this in Superdrug, yay praise to you Superdrug! Its around £6.15 which isn't too bad of a price and I absolutely love this at the moment and it was a good investment! I tend to get these little dry patches on my arms and have found that no matter what moisturiser I tried for example Vaseline, Soap and Glory nothing would improve it. So when I tried this I thought the same thing would happen and I was going to have to live forever with these horrible patches.

Garnier has proved me wrong! I haven't used many Garnier products, other than their hair dye which I like.  I can say from the first use it has made my arms a lot softer and the roughness is actually starting to fade. Hallelujah!!!

It doesn't have a strong smell which I like as its not over powering and it doesn't feel greasy and also absorbs quickly (which is a good point in my book because I hate the feeling of when your clothes sticks to moisturises, body butter).  Ick!

I was using this on face but have recently read the back of the bottle which states it should not be used on the face and now i'm scared incase it creates wrinkles on the face or something! D: 

You can get similar products from Garnier with different results such as the Hydralock Moisturising  Milk which maintains a non stop hydration for smooth feeling skin, Summer body moisturiser which gradully builds up a tan and Garnier Body tonic with seaweed extract which leaves skin feeling moisturised and firmer. 

This is such a good product and this will be what I will be using a lot in the winter to keep my skin feeling soft! I know Caroline Hirons is a fan too :)
