Oh lord, that picture doesn’t look real does it?  I can’t believe it feels so long ago already :::sobs::: I was determined to pack light for our trip to Rarotonga and that included my toiletry bag.  I did pack way more skincare products than makeup but couldn’t 

Beauty Review | Manuka Doctor Purifying Facial Wipes and Firm Body Moisturiser

Beauty Review | Manuka Doctor Purifying Facial Wipes and Firm Body Moisturiser

I have been using these two amazing products for the past few months and am convinced that I love them!  Manuka Doctor is a fairly new discovery to me, but after a 3/3 success rate (I reviewed their Apirefine Radiance Serum here) I’m convinced this is a brand that I will stick with in years to come, particularly due to their attention to natural anti-aging superstars such as Manuka Honey and Purified Bee Venom.

ApiClear 3-in-1 Purifying Wipes

I’ve been doing so well with my resolution to up my game this year when it comes to taking care of my skin, but there are still some late nights when I just can’t face the whole bedtime beauty routine.  Having a skin saver product like these wipes up my sleeve makes all the difference when I hit a lazy-girl setback.  I’ve tried pretty much every facial wipe on the supermarket shelves and they all leave my skin with a slight soapy residue.  That’s the point of difference here, the anti-bacterial properties of Manuka Oil works to remove make-up and impurities without leaving me feeling like I need to get up rinse my face {because if I’m using facial wipes I’m already in bed!}.  

Love, love, love. Keep a pack in your bedside cabinet at all times ladies!  At only $9.95 this is a high end product with the same price tag as supermarket brands, so a big win for us.

 

ApiNourish Firm Body Moisturiser

This wee gem brings the hero ingredients we are used to seeing in facial formulas to the rest of our body.  I’ve been using this for over a month on my neck, décolletage, tummy and upper arms and am impressed with the results.  The combination of Purified Bee Venom, Certified UMF 18+ Manuka Honey and Royal Jelly have added a whole new therapeutic level to daily, all-over body moisturising.  Hydration isn’t sacrificed as Shea Butter and silk extract are combined with the hard working natural trio of Chicory Root, Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum and Red Algae to give your skin an all over boost.

I’m all about anything that can help my skin look firmer and more toned, I work hard to ensure my body is strong and toned on the inside but until now there hasn’t been much I could do to improve the suppleness of my skin.  Manuka Doctor’s Firm Body Moisturiser has filled that gap, taken my daily moisturizing routine and super-charged it.
