2024 | SABRINALACHERRY FAVORITE BODY PRODUCTS
05-03-2024
Hey Cherries! Nice to have you all back for my first and real blog post of this year. It took a long time, but I'm back. The reason I have been away for so long will be made known in my Q&A of the year 2024 (not the ALL STARS version).
Of course, more questions will be answered there!
Today I'm publishing a popular request from my inbox. Which is my favorite body products/accessories. So I'm going to show you my favorite products and discuss them (^.^)
The first two products I will discuss are accessories. I bought both massage rollers cheaply on SHEIN, because I don't see the point in buying the same accessories from expensive brand names. It all seems just as good to me.
The first massage roller is a very popular accessory called "Ice roller". The purpose of this roller is to wake up and soothe the skin. In addition, it is said to reduce wrinkles/fine lines and redness.
The roller is mainly used on the face, but you can also use it on other parts of the body. You must thoroughly disinfect the roller after each use before putting it back in the freezer. If you are afraid of damage to the skin by the ice due to hypersensitivity, you can place the roller in the refrigerator at normal temperature for a while before use. Then the cold is less persistent.
I have become a huge fan of the ice roller and I use it daily on my face and body to wake up and soothe my skin. Personally, I don't see any results in reducing wrinkles or fine lines, but I do see some reduction in redness.
The second roller (purple with dots on both sides) is a massage roller and I don't know what the correct name of this roller is, because I see different names under which the roller is sold on websites:
3D face roller, Y face roller and even V shaped roller. In any case, you should be able to find it by these names!
This roller actually does the "kneading" work of the skin. Ideal for use with serums, masks and creams. Particularly good for the décolleté.
Then we come to two calming products that are always on my shelf: Aloe Vera Gel and Tea Tree Oil!
I honestly think everyone should have a skin soothing product on their shelf because you never know when you'll need something like that.
Aloe Vera Gel is one of the holy grails in my house. It is calming, refreshing, moisturizing, cooling, soothing and rich in vitamins.
Aloe Vera Gel is seriously good for everything and I use it all over my body. Especially in the summer when I have exposed myself to the sun for a long time, this is wonderful and cooling on the skin. Also sometimes after indoor tanning.
Tea Tree Oil has been a holy grail to me for a very long time, both on the road and at home. I have been using this oil product since I was in high school. It is antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, astringent and has multiple benefits. It's multifunctional! I have always used the Tea Tree Oil by THE BODY SHOP, but Tea Tree Oil from any natural brand is just as strong and good.
Of course, we shouldn't forget body products in the shower! I haven't found a favorite in the exfoliating category yet, but I have found shower gel and/or foam.
A shower foam that I have been using for years is by the Dutch brand "RITUALS". This is the shower foam from "The Ritual of Mehr", but I am also a huge fan of the shower foam from the "Ayurveda" collection. Which of the two I use depends on which scent I would like to go for. Currently the "Mehr".
What I like so much about the RITUALS shower foam is the texture. It starts as a gel on the body, but quickly ends up in foam. Just like mega whipped cream with a wonderful scent that easily spreads over the body. You will be done washing the body in no time.
When I choose a shower gel, I like to use the Kruidvat Natures Caring Showergel with 99% ingredients of natural origin. This is a natural, colorless shower gel with a wonderful scent of almond extract and flowers that is not too intense. There are also other variants/scents. This is an ideal shower gel for all my Cherries who don't want or cannot spend too much money, but still want to cleanse the skin properly in a natural way.
Moisturizing the skin daily with body lotions and creams is extremely important for me, because I have dry skin. I always try to take a moment during the day to completely moisturize my skin. I usually do it after a shower or before going to sleep, because then I have decent time to do that.
One of the products I like to use is the Naïf Repairing All-Purpose Cream. I once received this product in a gift box with two other products from the brand, but this is the product that has stayed with me and is almost empty, hahahaha!
As the name suggests, the cream is an all-in-one product for the face, body and hands. It provides everyday protection and repairs dry spots with natural ingredients. Especially sweet almond oil. It contains no microplastics, dermatologically tested and it is safe for the most sensitive skin.
I mainly use this product on the driest areas of my skin, which are the elbows and under my feet. It moisturizes well and smells wonderful! (^.^)
For the rest of my body I use a body lotion or nourishing cream. The body lotion that I have been using for many years comes from Spain and it is a drugstore brand that is affordable for everyone. The Deliplus Almends Body Lotion. It seriously doesn't cost much there in Spain. A good friend of mine usually gets several bottles from Spain when she is on holiday there and I pay her for the bottles, because it is much cheaper that way than imported via an online shop. I also originally learned about the lotion through her. If I don't have the lotion in stock or I can't get hold of it at the moment, I have an alternative that is much easier to get which is the Jergens Body Lotion. I like to use the "Nourishing Honey" or "Original" version from Jergens.
Whenever I notice that my body needs a little more hydration or nourishment, I put my lotion aside and go for a nourishing body cream. This one is pricey, but in my opinion it is definitely worth the money, because you don't need much to apply on the body, the result lasts for up to 2 days and it also has a wonderful scent. The Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. This cream has gueraná as a nourishing ingredient. Gueraná is known for containing the most powerful forms of caffeine in the world. Together with a blend of cupuaçu butter, açaí and coconut oil, the cream nourishes even the most dehydrated skin.
Sun, sea and beach days? Then the above favorites come in handy! My favorite full body sunscreen is from RITUALS and it's called The Ritual Of Karma Sun Protection Milky Spray SPF50. "Do good and good will come your way". We know that one by now, but also "No good deed goes unpunished" XD
This sunscreen is water resistant and it is one of the few sunscreens that has always managed to protect me well without getting burned much by the sun. Since I started using this one, I've never looked back at others. It is a must have forever!
My favorite sun oil comes from Garnier and it is called the Garnier Ambre Solaire protective sun oil. This product comes with different types of SPF, but I always have the SPF30 version. In the photo above you can still see the old packaging of the product. Garnier has changed the packaging of the product, making it easier to hold the bottle while applying the product. This product helps to give you a beautiful complexion in the sun and nourishes the skin with shea butter so that the skin doesn't dry out while sunbathing. Also water resistant, so you can easily go into the water.
Do I want to get a better complexion from the sun with SPF30? Then I use an ideal dupe of the Hawaiian tropic. This is not only cheaper, but just as good in my opinion and the bottle is much easier to use. The Caribbean Bronze Tanning Lotion. As you can see, the design is inspired by the Hawaiian Tropic products. In addition, I also think that the scent of this dupe is the same as the more expensive brand. Actually, I think this dupe is almost identical to the original. However, there is one thing different and it takes some time getting used to. The sunscreen has a thin texture, so you have to use a little more to cover the entire body. You also have to work quickly! If you don't want to waste a lot of money unnecessarily on a tanning sunscreen lotion, knowing that it will be used up quickly, then this is really ideal to get from the Action.
