It has been a while, but I am back! This year has just been complete madness, I have now finished university and will be graduating next week with a 2:1! I decided that I needed to put my blog on hold for a little bit to allow myself time to focus on getting my work done which has definitely paid off, I am so pleased with my final grade. I want to thank you for your patience whilst I've been away and what better way to kick-start my blog again than with a review of my current favourite moisturiser...
I was initially given this moisturiser as a sample and fell it love with it straight away! I loved it so much I decided to go out and buy it and I have been using it ever since. KIKO 24h Cream makes my face feel super smooth and the best thing about it... it doesn't break me out!
KIKO 24h Cream 50ml - £11.90 (more info)
If you haven't heard of this brand before or want to know more about it then head over to their website: kikocosmetics.co.uk.
"KIKO MILANO is a leading Italian brand of cosmetics, make-up and skin care products. KIKO MILANO offers safe and effective beauty products as well as face and body treatments of the highest quality, created to satisfy women of all ages."
This product by KIKO is a moisturising and energising cream that is recommended for normal to dry skin, however, you are all aware that I have combination to oily skin and this product works amazingly well for me. I use this as my night-time moisturiser rather than during the day, I prefer to wear something lighter and more mattifying during the day. I use this before bed after I've cleansed my face and I allow it time to soak in - if I was to use this product as my day moisturiser then I would look super shiny by lunch time! For those of you who have dryer skin though, this product could work brilliantly as both a day and night-time moisturiser.
Directions
I use this product after cleansing in the evening and apply it to my face, neck and neck line.
Summary
(Pictures taken with Nikon D3100)
I have noticed such a big improvement in the texture and look of my skin. My makeup seems to glide on much more smoothly than it did before.
Pros
- Smells lovely
- Feels nice on the skin
- Very moisturising
- Contains SPF15
- Hypoallergenic (formulated to ensure minimum instance of allergic reactions)
- Non comedogenic (doesn't clog pores)
- Paraben free
- Simple, clean-looking packaging
Cons
- Might be slightly too heavy for oilier complexions (Personally I like the consistency of this moisturiser because it's exactly what I look for in a night cream)
If you haven't tried any products by KIKO yet, then I suggest you do! I have a feeling this won't be the last post involving this brand!
What is your current favourite moisturiser? Let me know!
