Winter = Dry Skin = :(

I love winter for the hot baths, yummy foods, and snuggly beds! One major downside to winter is that it dries out my skin something chronic!

I have dry sensitive skin at the best of times but there is something about the air or the hot hot HOT showers that disagree with my skin and one of my pet hates is having lizard legs/face.

My friend who owns a salon recommended that i try Pelactiv nightly rejuvenator cream, it costs about $85 for 50ml. This cream claims to reduce redness and pigmentation, it contains AHA'S and is great for sensitive skin.

I have had this cream for a few weeks now and here are my thoughts on it.


  • It is very thick (a little goes a long way) which i like

  • It is a little greasy which i also like lol ( I dont think people with oily skin would love this cream)

  • It has a strong smell not overpowering just a bit fake like a cream smell *duh, - you know!

  • It does moisturise my face very well, in the morning when i have a shower and wet my face i can still feel the moisturiser on my skin

  • I dont find that it has reduced my pigmentation at all (i use it every night)

  • If i am having a bad skin day this irritates my face and causes it to feel tight so i dont think its great for very sensitive skin.

All in all its a good moisturising cream, i dont think i will repurchase just beacause i think for the price i could get something better.

If i have really dry skin at night time i will apply lucas paw paw ointment all over my face ( this is a thick thick like paste stuff that is great for keeping the moisture in the skin) Its like elizabeth arden 8 hour cream (Its a cult product here in Australia) i will apply that to my lips too.

What moisturisers do you guys like? I would love to know it will give me an idea for my next purchase. Have a good night! Nic :) xx
