Long Overdue Review - Ahava's Intensive Foot Cream

Just before Christmas the lovely people at Ahava offered me the chance to try out their foot cream and after trying their face mask/scrub I jumped at the chance.

Unfortunately my personal life got in the way hence the lack of most posts but I am finally able to bring you the review.

I have always had slight dryness on my feet so I was really looking forward to seeing if this would ease the dryness prior to Christmas period with the possible need to wear heels.

The cream is very thick and luxurious to the touch, not overly greasy, sinking into the skin fairly quickly. The smell is lovely and not overpowering at all, I actually found the smell very relaxing.

My already soft skin did instantly feel softer, the dryer parts didn't really have an effect but, this product is something to be used over time to improve the skin in that area which indeed it does. I used the cream daily after bathing and showering and did one intensive session by applying a thick layer prior to bed and adding a warm pair of socks.

After one week of using this product and the intensive session I noticed a major improvement on the heels of my feet. The dryness in that area had significantly reduced.

What Ahava say about this product: an ultra-rich, soothing formula that leaves dry, rough and cracked feet feeling remarkably soft, supple and comfortable.

This product is not the cheapest on the market but I highly recommend it for those of you that suffer with dry feet and haven't found relief thus far.

I plan on posting before and after images after a further weeks session as I never actually got the chance to do this before and as with everything the proof is in the pudding.

I hope you've enjoyed reading this and will look forward to the images once I get chance to bring that to you in the next few weeks.

You can buy ahava's foot cream from For £18 for 100mls of product and can be purchased directly from Ahava's website

Review: Pai Geranium & Thistle Organic Moisturizer

Last week Pai Geranium and Thistle Organic Moisturizer landed on my doormat, which I have been using everyday since it arrived.

What Pai say about their product:

Mild anti-bacterial formula helps prevent breakouts.

Non-comedogenic: free from pore-blocking ingredients, including beeswax.

Free from drying alcohols which cause oil imbalances.

Formulated for skin sensitive to chemicals or easily irritated.

Skin Type: Combination, Oily, Combination-Sensitive

Pai Geranium & Thistle Combination Skin Cream is formulated to clear and rebalance oily, T-zone skin, using only the cleanest organic ingredients.

This non-greasy moisturiser smoothes and hydrates combination skin to leave a bright, luminous complexion.

High levels of Essential Fatty Acids in organic Thistle and Borage oil help to calm unsettled skin and even out skin tone.

The clever non-cloy, non-clog formula absorbs instantly to leave a matte velvet finish, making a perfect base for make-up.

That's why it is the moisturiser of choice for professional make-up artists on film and fashion shoots! 

Our commitment to product purity means we never use synthetics, artificial fragrances, alcohol (denat.), parabens (including japanese honeysuckle), phenoxyethanol, propylene glycol, formaldehyde (including sodium hydroxymethylglycinate), sodium lauryl sulfate or other irritants.

The thing that excited me the most about this product was the fact it dries with a matte finish, my first thought about this statement was yeah right but, I will now eat my words it does in fact dry completely matte.

Look no shine (The sound of screens cracking all over the world haha)

The smell is beautiful some may find it a little overpowering but I actually find it very relaxing. Since starting to use it I have noticed that my pores have slightly reduced in size and although the cream is not for dry skin it does soften the dry areas I have.

I only use 2 pumps and that covers the whole face area. 

All of Pai's skincare products are organic, animal friendly and apart from the lip balm vegan. Pai are working hard to make their whole line vegan so in time the lip balm formula will change to accommodate this. The company have received a lot of praise from the press and rightly so.

Overall I absolutely love this product especially because it doesn't cause my eczema to flare up if anything it soothes it, that point alone gives it a huge thumbs up.

The Pai Geranium and Thistle Organic Moisturizer costs £24, a lot of you may think that this is very expensive but with all of the ingredients they use and the fact that a little goes a long way I personally think its worth the price tag.
