WHY I LOVE NIVEA!

January 03, 2021

Gifted-/ As Part Of The Nivea Family!

So something really special has happened. I have been invited into the NIVEA family. This is such big news for me as I’m such a big fan of the brand.

Nivea has always had a special place in my heart. I think every bathroom cupboard throughout my childhood (family and friends houses) had a staple blue jar of Nivea in. It’s such an iconic, nostalgic scent and reminds me of happy times as a child.

Nivea as a brand have been running for over 100 years with the very first Nivea tin produced in 1911 and since then the brand have come a very long way.

So what is the Nivea Family.

The Nivea family is a friendly and engaging community that offers lots of helpful advice and beauty hacks from smaller bloggers like myself. They have a Facebook group (which is something that I’m new too as I’ve never really bothered with Facebook before !) and a hashtag on Instagram which I am following as love looking at other bloggers views on products that I might have not necessarily tried out for myself.

Being a member of the family means I get to try out exciting products to review. So I thought I would review some of the products for you in a little post and tell you if I think they are worth buying or not.

So I have been kindly gifted a welcome pack which I am super grateful for. As well as other things it contains lots of skincare. You all know how much I love myself a bit of skincare and since receiving this pack last year! ( it feels so weird saying that!) I have been trying the products out and have some new favourites.

So my “go to” favourite skincare product from the Nivea brand has to be the Q10 Fresh Look eye cream. This amazing awaking eye cream contains Vitamin C and E and is to be used every morning and evening. It supports your skins own ability to improve its energy by protecting against skin damaging free radicals.

So what does it do? It alleviates the signs of fatigue and dullness, the eye contour and reduces crows feet. It also provides intensive moisture and fresh looking skin.

The cream doesn’t sting your eyes either. This is something I do suffer with from eye creams and is even suitable to use if you’re a contact lens wearer as well. It’s very lightweight and soaks in under your eyes very easily.

The product is perfect to use after a late night to awaken your eyes and is definitely my new favourite.

Another stand out skin product from the box goes hand in hand with the eye cream and it’s the Q10 Energy recharging night cream. This product is a multi zone product that can be used in the evening. The cream is a lot thicker than the eye cream even though it contains the same Vitamins and 100% Skin Identical Q10.

This luxurious cream promises you healthy looking skin in just 8 hours. I do agree with this as when I’ve used this product my skin felt super soft and brighter in such a short time. It also targets major signs of stress such as lines, dullness and lifelessness. It offers a moisture lock and strengthens the skin barrier and younger and firmer skin in just 2 weeks.

So I’m obsessed with Micellar water to remove my makeup and the Nivea Micellair really seems to suit my skin. This one is fragrance free and is suitable for sensitive skin. My skin isn’t really sensitive but sometimes Micellar water can sting my eyes that’s why I usually stick to ones for sensitive skins. This one removes everything! I tend to wear quite a lot of makeup and this one removes every last bit with 0% residue. It’s leaves your skin feeling clean and hydrated.

This Nivea product is a vegan formula and the bottle is made from 96% recycled material. I love how brands have started to notice that this is now important to us and respect to Nivea for caring for our skin and our planet at the same time.

So after removing our makeup, sometimes it’s nice to give our face an extra treat. This comes in the form of a nourishing face mask. The Nivea Bye Bye Dry Skin sachet is a 2 for the price of 1 face mask and actually gives you two applications. I always find that when I buy a sachet face mask I have two much product for one face so the fact that Nivea have made this as a two in one is a plus for me.

This version contains Honey and Natural Almond Oil and not only smells amazing but really makes your skin feel super soft after the 15 minutes leave on time. (I must admit I did leave it on longer!) It feels super comfortable and your skin feels so soft afterwards.

It’s definitely worth checking out your local drugstore to see what Nivea have to offer.

I will be back soon with another Nivea post about the other exciting products that I have been kindly gifted as part of the Nivea family.

Until next time
