I’ve been promising this post for a long time already so here it is finally!

I have very dry and often flaky skin and I have tried  a lot of body creams, and, in my opinion, this is probably the best one I’ve found so far. It works great for winter  even for my skin type so, most likely, will work for you, too.

I am talking about Bioderma Atoderm PP Anti-Reccurence Emollient Balm.

Bioderma is famous for their Sensibio H2O  but they have a lot of other amazing products.

This product was actually recommended to me at the shop by the sales assistant. She also recommended Oilatum bath products to me, so I am definitely going to try them in the future.

The great thing about Bioderma Atoderm PP Anti-Recidive Anti-Reccurence Emollient Balm Severe And Recurrent Cutaneous Dryness is that it can be used both on face and body.

So what about my impression?

Let me

When I first heard about the Linden Leaves, a beautiful skincare range from New Zealand, I  really liked pretty much everything about the brand.

I loved the clean and sophisticated packaging,  the series that the products are divided into and the story behind the brand. Plus they also have two series for men – Pure Man and Rugby.

I also liked their website,  it gave me this idea of a natural and soothing skincare line. There are actually a lot of products to choose from so it was very hard. But I’ve decided to try the scrub from the Herbalist line which is called Sugar Salt Exfoliating Body Rub and the Memories Body Oil from the Aromatherapy Synergy range.

 Herbalist  Sugar Salt Exfoliating Body Rub, €23.53 (200g / 7.05 oz)

It’s great to have a sugar salt scrub as most are just sugar or salt, so now you don’t have to choose. The first thing that I’ve noticed about this  product – its unusual and rather strong scent. I can’t quite describe it but I’d say that Herbalist is a great name for this product.

The rub contains essential oil of basil (‘to stimulate circulation and invigorate’), clary sage (‘to ease muscular aches and relax and de-stress the mind‘), and evening primrose oil (‘to nourish and hydrate’).  Other ingredients are: jojoba oil and sweet almond oil (‘to moisturise and soothe inflamed skin’).

This is a really lovely product,  I find that it effectively but gently exfoliates my skin, leaving it smooth and ready for a moisturizer! It doesn’t hurt or damage the skin as it contains essential oils.  As for the scent, I don’t think that I’ve had anything with a similar one, but,luckily, I like it. I find it calming and relaxing!

 Memories Body Oil , € 31.93 (250 ml)

Now this is a very unique product. Although

Hand cream is a product I can’t live without! I always have to have lot of  hand creams everywhere. I like trying new ones and finding the best from the range.

As you may remember, I had a big ‘Clarins moment’ not a long time ago and I’ve purchased quite a few of their products.  I was very happy to get this hand cream as a gift with purchase.

 Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream retails  for £18 for 100 ml.

This is a totally amazing product. It leaves my hands feeling (instantly!) very soft and moisturized without being greasy. It absorbs quickly and smells nice. I can’t tell you anything about nail strengthening but I am hoping it does work, too.

It is also promised that the cream

I think, you’ve probably noticed that these days I am trying to tell you about some beauty products that I enjoy using in winter. So today I want to tell you about the foot creams that impressed me the most. I am also going to tell you which foot cream my lovely Grandma (70) rates!

First of all I have to let you know that my feet are very dry and always seem to be in a bad condition. I am not even sure about the reason of this but I must keep them moisturized all the time!

So the winners in the foot cream category (for me) would be Elemis Treat Your Feet Foot Cream(£16, 75ml) and L’Occitane Dry Skin Foot Cream(£7.50, 30 ml).

The L’Occitane one contains  shea butter, lavender essential oil and arnica extract, which makes the skin softer and it works great for tired feet! The cream is rich but not greasy; it smells really nice, too.

The Elemis one is my favourite out of these two.  It is a part of 

I have already written about how much I loved my Xen-Tan Deep Bronze Luxe Once A Week Self Tan  which I was using in summer. And today I want to tell you about the version that I am using right now.

It is called  Xen-Tan Transform Luxe (£24.99)

I love my Deep Bronze but it’s a bit dark for me in winter so Transform Luxe is a perfect shade. It builds the tan gradually and gives a lighter tan which looks natural in winter on the girls with fair/light skin.

Transform Luxe is also an amazing product, it develops a light healthy looking tan, with no streaks or orange undertones. It is fool-proof. I am not an expert at self-tanning and I’ve never managed to make it look bad on me. Just make sure that you read the instructions.

As for the scent
