I actually received some of this a while back but I haven't got round to testing it yet. Three of the items I received from The Body Shop to test, I bought the eye cream myself.
I'm 27 years old and as much as I'd like to deny it, my skin is starting to show the first signs of aging. The skin around my eyes isn't quite as tight as it was a year ago!
The Body Shop Nutriganics range is designed to be used on skin that's showing the first signs of aging. It's also promoted as a "natural" skincare range. The ingredients four items from the collection I have are stated to be between 98% and 99% of natural origin and each of them has a different percentage of certified organic ingredients.
Each product also contains Community Trade Babassu Oil from Brazil which is supposed to "soften, smooth and revitalise the skin". I honestly hadn't heard of Babassu Oil before now. There's a little about the subject on Wikipedia (yeah, I know. Use Wikipedia as a source at your own risk, etc, etc) but Google doesn't come up with a great deal more.
I'll be taking notes and will probably review at the end of January, there's no point rushing skincare.
I'll be using:
-Foaming Facial Wash (£8.00)
-Smoothing Serum (£13.00)
-Smoothing Day Cream (£12.00)
-Smoothing Eye Cream (£10.00)
Just having a dig around the ingredients on the website. I like that they explain what all the ingredients do, rather than just giving a list of scientific names. Ever wondered why they put Sclerotium Gum in the Serum? It's a viscosity modifier apparently.
There's only so much I can write about a skincare line I haven't even tested yet! I'll save the rest of my notes for the review.
