On the 24th November 2011 I will randomly draw three winners who will receive their prize in the mail. This particular eye …

Most of the reviews I post here tend to be positive. When I find something good I want to share it, but if something doesn’t work too well for me (or if I have a bad reaction to it) I often assume that different people might not react in the same way. However, the same would apply to products I like – they might not be great for everyone. I am keeping this in mind as I review this cleanser and moisturizer from Ren (that has been great) as I have heard a few stories where it is not suitable for some people.
I decided to try both the Ren hydra-calming cleanser and day cream after a recommendation from a mecca …

To celebrate two years of posting reviews here on SkinSavers I’ve decided to create a list of my all time favorite skincare products. These are the products to beat in 2011, as I try new things I usually compare them to these favorites. The categories are; best eczema emollient cream, eczema wash, sensitive skin cleanser, sensitive skin moisturizer, make up remover and best make up.

One of the first tips for eczema cleansing is to try not to wash your skin too often and try to wash only once a day. …

I’ve been wanting to review a soapwalla product for some time now, but just haven’t had the energy to give them the attention that they deserve. Soapwalla is quite a unique and inspiring line, there is a passion and love behind the making of each and every item that is difficult to portray with a quick review. Today I’m going to write a little about the Comfort body wash but I encourage everyone to read more about sopawalla on their wordpress blog here: http://soapwallakitchen.wordpress.com as well.
