Do you have dry and sensitive skin? Some of us had experienced that dreaded dry skin which is uncomfortable. There are a lot of products out in the market which are targeted for dry and sensitive skin. Some are cheap but most are expensive. We're all aiming for a quality product that's effective and must have the best ingredients that will help our skin. Thankfully, The Body Shop has the finest ethically-sourced ingredients to create a range of naturally-inspired beauty products. And according to their website (https://thebodyshop.com.ph/commitment/about-us/), they have a unique blend of ethical beauty with a sense of humour and serious purpose to the world.
The Body Shop Almond Milk and Honey Sampler Set is consists of their shower cream (60 mL) and body butter (50 mL). I have tried their Japanese Cherry Blossom body butter and it has a whipped and soft texture that melts easily into your skin. Just like what The Body Shop is famous for, their body butters are excellent moisturizers that help seal moisture. The Almond Milk and Honey Range claims to :
- Intensely moisturises for 48 hours
- Suitable for sensitive, dry skin
- Made with organic almond milk
- Enriched with Community Trade honey and organic almond oil
- Hypoallergenic fragrance
- Dermatologically tested
The shower cream lathers well and smells comforting and at the same time, you know that it cleans and moisturizes as well. I am on medication for allergies right now and so far these products did not trigger any irritations. Meanwhile , the body butter is really heavenly and soothing to the skin. The weather has been really harsh when it comes to sudden temperature changes. After bathing and patting the skin with towel, it is advisable to immediately apply a moisturizer to prevent moisture loss. My dermatologist has been very keen in telling me that irritations and allergies come from dry skin so having a moisturized and soft skin will lessen these problems.
Pros :
- The shower cream and body cream are moisturizing and gentle to the skin
- Cruelty free products ( doesn't test on animals)
- Availability is great. The Body Shop has 3,000 stores in 66 countries!
Cons :
- not fragrance free (if you are conscious about having fragrance in your products)
- expensive
Do I recommend these products? Yes. Having ethical standards that promotes sustainability and cruelty free beauty, The Body Shop Almond Milk and Honey Shower Cream and Body Butter provides safe and effective products by working fairly with farmers and suppliers and helping communities thrive through their Community Trade programme, being 100% vegetarian and always and forever being firmly against animal testing.
Till next time,
