Hello lovelies! I hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas holidays whether you celebrate the Christian holiday celebrating Jesus’s birthday and I hope you managed to have some time with loved ones or alone time. I am all about self-care. For me taking care of my skin and using creams balms lotions in the form of beauty products is paramount to feeling happy in my own skin. My children know I like vegan beauty and skincare products not tested on animals. So I thought I would do some beauty product reviews starting with some of the goodies we got for Xmas this year. I will only test products not tested on (animals) and containing animals.
So you will see a series of vegan and plant-based products put to the test. These will be in various formats such as written articles, blogs and if I can create a YouTube video and a podcast of my blogs. I aim to be more inclusive as not everyone can access a written blog post. Or maybe they prefer to listen to or watch content such as beauty reviews.
My skin type is varied my face is different to my body (normal with a slightly oily in the T-zone area). My skin elsewhere is normal, dry in places such as the soles of my feet. I also have sensitive prone skin. I react to certain products mainly with itchy red rashes appear. But over the years I’ve found what I respond to then I avoid it. This also includes certain washing powders, so I usually have some fragrance-free washing products suitable for babies or sensitive skin. For UK readers and listeners I use Tesco and other brands that don’t test on animals and vegan by ingredient lists. Not all companies can afford vegan labels but appear on some varieties of their products by ingredients.
First up is a UK Based Business that creates various vegan products which include a range of women’s and men’s hand and body cleansing moisturising soap lotions and balm. Baylis and Harding’s Jojoba Vanilla and Almond Oil Hand and Body Lotion Baylis and Harding also produce a luxury shower creme body wash and body lotion. They are labelled on the packaging not tested on animals and are vegan. This is also confirmed on their website the packaging is a pale pink with gold shiny caps and gold lettering on the labelling and the caps. They look very pretty standing in your kitchen bathroom utility room cloakroom or anywhere likely that you’d keep hand and body washing products. I’ve used the hand wash and the hand and body lotion for both my hands and legs.
The scent is delicate but not overpowering to the senses. It has a silky satiny feel to the skin you can feel the oil on the skin but the product doesn’t feel heavy or clog the skin. I will have to experiment with the amount to use on the skin. But when I put a large sized amount bigger than a 50p piece or the size of a Maryland Cookie always bought them in the past for the family but I didn’t eat those particular cookies. I was vegetarian and ignorant to how animals are used to make food and how companies test their cosmetic products upon animals, before sending them off to the stores to be sold.
I wasn’t about to pay someone to kill and use parts of animals on my behalf. Just so I can eat or wear something made from as well as tested on animals! I’d rather not thank you. The scent remains on the hands after some time since application. I was a tad stingy with the amount I gave to each leg. However, the product soaked quickly into the legs and didn’t leave a greasy residue to the skin it soaks in nicely. But as I said I have to experiment with the amount I use on each leg to give it a fair review … But for now, I’d certainly recommend purchasing this product. As they were gifts so unfortunately, I can’t give you prices …
But you can find them on places like Amazon or EBay or even in selected drugstores pharmacy and other retail stockists…Happy New Year 2022 .. Have a wonderful 2023…
