Body Shop Vitamin E

The products that I am reviewing today are from all our favourite, body shop. The reason why I prefer body shop over others is because firstly their products are high quality, secondly and most important is they are all natural and are made ethically. No animal testing, so I know whatever I am using hasn’t done any harm before. So usually body shop is like my first priority, and if I don’t find something here, then I turn myself to buy from some other place.
This post not only reviews my few favourites from body shop vitamin E range, but also discusses my skin care regime.
So if you guys are interested, continue reading =)

The products reviewed here include:
Vit E cleanser
Vit E toner
Vit E gentle facewash
Vit E face mist
Vit E eye cream
Vit E night cream

I usually use these products as my night time skin care regime. Plus I’d also like to tell that I have normal to dry skin. I absolutely love this range, and have been using it every night since as far as I remember wearing makeup. Plus its pink, so all the more reasons for liking it.

What body shop has to say about this: LOVED SINCE 1977, OUR VITAMIN E SKINCARE RANGE HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME. IF YOU’RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE DAMAGING EFFECTS OF THE ENVIRONMENT ON YOUR SKIN, OUR VITAMIN E RANGE CAN HELP TO PROTECT AGAINST POLLUTION, CIGARETTE SMOKE AND UVA/UVB RAYS. SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES AND HELP TO PROTECT THE SKIN FROM PREMATURE AGEING.

 

VITAMIN E CLEANSER:

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION as per body shop:
This light cream cleanser gently lifts away dirt, make-up and impurities.
·       Gently but effectively cleanses
·       Softens and conditions
·       Leaves skin feeling smooth and supple

What I say:
I couldn’t have put it in better words, I agree with this cent percent.  It’s a very gentle and mild cleaner, with a very light fragrance, not irritating at all, it doesn’t make my skin feel dry or tight after washing it off. I use it every night to remove makeup and cleanse, and it does the trick, so its worth a try. I love the packaging, it come in a 200ml full version, usually run around 3 months for me. It has never broken me out and I have considerably sensitive skin. It has a very milky texture and doesn’t foam up. I use it in combination with the toner from the very same range.



VITAMIN E  HYDRATING TONER:
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AS PER BODY SHOP:
A hydrating toner that removes traces of cleanser, dirt and make-up without drying the skin, leaving it feeling soft, supple and refreshed. It leaves a velvety feel on the skin.

What I say:
This is one of the best toners I have used, I use it several times a day whenever my skin feels tight, it hydrates and makes it very even and smooth looking. I use it after cleansing, it also removes all the left over makeup too.

VITAMIN E GENTLE FACE WASH:
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AS PER BODY SHOP:
A gentle facial wash that lathers on the skin to leave it feeling clean, soft and refreshed.

What I say:
It comes in a 100ml tube packaging, no mess style. Very gentle on face and smells nice and light too. It is my everyday facewash. It is not drying, so its good for my normal to dry skin, and leaves no dry patches. It is a non-foamy facewash, lathers like a cream and washes and hydrates.
VITAMIN E EYE CREAM:
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AS PER BODY SHOP:
This moisturising eye cream hydrates, smoothes and protects the delicate skin around the eye.
·       Hydrates skin in the eye area
·       Reduces the appearance of fine lines
·       Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth
·       Gentle massage helps reduce puffiness

What I say:
I like this cream, it’s a part of my night regime, but its not for dark circles if that is what you are looking for in this cream, I have been using it for a very long time, but it just moisturises and hydrates my under eye area so next day my concealer spreads really nicely, according to me I have pretty much dark under eye circles. It comes in a 15 ml tube.



VITAMIN E NIGHT CREAM:
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AS PER BODY SHOP:
This rich night cream replenishes moisture levels while you sleep.
·       Intensively hydrates
·       Works when skin is at its most receptive
·       Leaves skin soft and smooth

What I say:
the full size version of this comes in a 50 ml small tub, this is one of the best night creams I have used, it is by far the most hydrating and most moisturising one and absorbs nicely. In winters I literally get dry patches, and in the morning I cant put makeup because it accentuates my dry patches. one night application of this makes my skin so baby soft and moisturised  In the morning when I wake up my skin is so glowy, smooth and one toned that I never want to wash my face. It has nice smell, the texture is nice and creamy and it doesn’t break me out and makes me look and feel amazing, what more could I have asked from a night cream.

In the day we are exposed to so many bad things for our skin like pollution and air and sun plus everyday makeup and all takes the glow away from face, I highly recommend everyone to have a night care routine, because that is when you can actually moisturise your skin and give your skin time to breath and heal, and what is better then vitamin E for skin.

VITAMIN E FACE MIST:
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AS PER BODY SHOP:
A quick skin pick-me up and excellent for setting make-up. Spritz it on for instant refreshment, moisture, and protection. With a delicate rosewater scent.

What I say:
I use this as a setting spray for my makeup when sometimes I don’t want a flat matte face, I lightly spray on my face, and with this amazing rose smell, it makes my face look so glowy and dewy. It also hydrates my skin. Its nice for refreshing and moisture splurge around mid day too.

To sum it all up: I think this range is great for everyday use to remove makeup, to hydrate your skin or if you are looking for moisturising your skin.
