I’ve always suffered with eczema, it mostly comes and goes in bad patches, but sometimes it’s been really painful. When I was a teenager it was particularly bad, I tried thousands of steroid creams, and antibiotics, but something I’ve always come back to is E45 cream. Nothing seems to fix my dry skin without irritating it further like E45’s moisturising lotion. It’s actually been a while since I’ve used E45 as my skin hasn’t been playing up as much lately, and I’ve found my Body Shop Body Butters have been doing the job. But E45 kindly sent me a sample of their Moisturising Lotion and Overnight Hand Cream, and it’s reminded me how well their products work for me all over again.
E45’s Moisturising Lotion is something everyone with dry skin should be keeping a bottle of handy. Every time my skin has flared up over the last 20 odd years I’ve been turning to this, and after a few days of applying it regularly, my bad patches seem to clear up. I haven’t used any for a while as my skin hasn’t been too bad, so I decided to start using it as my everyday body lotion to see if made much difference to my skin when it’s not going through a bad time. After a few days of application I noticed my legs felt a lot smoother than they usually do, and my skin felt more hydrated than usual. E45’s moisturising lotion is also perfume free, so there’s no scent attached to it, which is ideal if you don’t want to go around smelling like the Body Shop etc, all day.
E45 also have a new Repair & Protect Overnight Hand Cream, which is great for everyone, not just those with dry skin conditions. As the weather’s still a little on the cold side I’ve found that my hands feel really dry, and I’ve been carrying around hand cream with me all day. I’ve been applying this just before I go to bed as an intensive treatment, and by the time I wake up my hands feel super smooth. This is the sort of product that I probably would have looked over, as I’ve always thought of E45 being for my eczema.

So far I’ve been doing well at sticking to my ‘makeup mix up’s’, however I forgot to blog about it last week! This week I’ll still be using the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation as I’m trying it out to review it, and I think you should try something out for a few weeks before reviewing…
First of all how is it going to be September tomorrow?! This year has just flown past. August has been a fairly exciting month for me product wise, as I’ve been trying out loads of new things, and also rediscovered a couple of old products that I love. So here’s this months monthly offering. Vitamin…
Hello Lovely’s! 🙂 I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! My day was full of spending time with my family, chilling out, eating masses of food, and watching trashy Christmas TV. Now I wasn’t really expecting much for Christmas as I’d only asked for a couple of bits, so I was so excited when…
Soap & Glory are one of my favourite brands. For years now I’ve been browsing the range in Boots, and trying out several of their prodcuts. I don’t know if its the cute pink packaging or the scent, but I just love Soap & Glory. A couple of months back I wrote about my love…
I’ve been putting off doing this review for a while. I hate doing negative reviews, my mum always taught me if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything. But I’m always honest about a product I’m reviewing, and so I thought I should share with you my experience “Apply the colour on…
You may have noticed that in the past that all of my nail varnish choices have been around the grey/beige/taupe variety, but now the suns starting to come out, I’m in the mood to wear bolder brighter colours. In my Recent Beauty Buys post I mentioned that I bought one of Rimmel London’s Rita Ora nail varnishes in the…
