It
is scary just how much ‘muck’ we slather onto our skin on a daily basis
without giving it a second’s thought. What many of us don’t realize is
that our skin is our largest organ, and what we apply on it, is absorbed
directly in to our system, so if we apply carcinogenic products simply
because they are cheap, freely available and smell nice, we are
literally poisoning ourselves slowly but surely and that is truly a
scary thought.
Products
like deodorant, body washes, soaps, talcum powder, body lotion and
sprays that we often take for granted, may not be as healthy or safe as
we expect them to be.
Although
more expensive, I like the fact that Kneipp products use natural
ingredients and less preservatives than most. I also respect and value
the fact that no animal testing is conducted on their range as I love
animals and don’t agree that they should suffer for our vanity.
Jasmine, also known as the “oil of romance”, has a strong floral scent. It has
been used for centuries to promote total body relaxation and warm the
emotions, because of its strong calming nature.
Argan
Oil It has been used for centuries by the women of Morocco who
traditionally used it in the daily care of their skin and hair. Pressed
from the nuts of the Moroccan Argan Tree, it is a rare and precious oil
rich in vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids and is highly nourishing
for skin and hair.
The Kneipp® Jasmine and Argan Oil range available in Singapore is the Body wash and the Body oil.
This
Body Wash is extremely moisturizing and protects skin from drying-out. I
love the lotion like feel to it and the fact that although it does not
lather, it keeps your skin feeling clean, hydrated and delicately
scented. To me, it smells like shea butter and you can even go without
lotion after using it as your skin really does feel softer and
moisturized. This has now become one of my favourite body washes!
The body wash retails at SGD 21.90 for a 200 ml tube.
The Body Oil is not greasy or heavy and is best used after a shower or
bath when you skin is still slightly damp. It smells lovely, just like
the shower cream and because the scent is so light,it wont clash with
your fragrance. I use the oil in the night so I am enveloped in its
delicate scent and also so that my skin doesn’t dry out under the air
conditioner, plus I like to smell good at all times, especially in bed
:)
The bottle of oil retails at SGD 28.90 for a 100 ml glass bottle.

I have heard so much great things about argan oil and would love to try this product out. Since its by Kneipp, I am confident that it will be safe to use and good for my skin.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about many of us not thinking twice about what we put on our skin. Its quite scary when you think about how much poisons we apply daily without realizing it. Thanks Lady@LXG!
I would love to be a lucky winner of the body oil. I believe it would help me to alleviate my stress and relax more. Life's happiest moments can be so brief, and it is so important to be relaxed and aware of the world around you, to view each day as the gift that it is.
ReplyDeleteHi Ginger, the oil is lovely. Its my newest must-have. I am sure you will love it and it will certainly keep your skin scented and hydrated!
DeleteAnd I TOTALLY agree with your view on life!

I'd love to win the Body Wash because Jasmine's fragrance uplifts my spirits and argan oil will provide much needed hydration for my dry skin. Looking forward to happy shower times with Kneipp® Natural Skincare Jasmine & Argan Oil Body Wash! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Sophia,
DeleteI agree, shower time should be a time to relax and recharge before a day of work and after a whole day of stress!
I like the moisturizing body wash as till now, I have yet to try any body wash that does not dry up the skin. Slathering on lots of moisturiser immediately after each shower is a daily routine as the skin becomes very dry after the shower. Sometimes, I am inclined not to shower, as I do not like the after-effect of dryness.
ReplyDeleteWS Tan
Hi WS, I know what you mean! I hate it when my skin gets tight and dry but i can't live without showering at least 3 times a day (probably why my skin is dry :p)
DeleteThis wash is REALLY very nice. It does not dry the skin and is very gentle.
I really think you will love it :)
one day I was shopping at Guardian, a promoter came over and started persuading me to buy a bottle of the oil and she succeed! Not because she has the gift of tongue but because I've been reading so much about Kneipp from your blog and was convinced to try it. And no regrets :) Therefore, next thing I'd want to try would be their Body Wash and see if it is just as good :)
ReplyDeleteLove,

Hi Grace, your comments made my day! :)
DeleteI so LOVE their products very much and was just talking to the sponsor this afternoon about how much I love the Jasmine/Argan range.
Good luck and fingers crossed
I like the words "deeply relaxing" on the body oil. As I get older I find that time passes so fast. Everything is so stressful, and deadlines that are next week become tomorrow in an instant. This body oil can calm the senses besides moisturising the skin. It is anti-ageing for me too as it can destress my mind and thus slow down my accelerated ageing due to stress.

After reading your review, hope to try it badly. I always has dry skin problem hope it can help to minimise the problem. With the smell of jasmine, I'm sure I will be able to have a sweet dream!
