Love: Healthy Skin and a NIVEA GIVEAWAY!

When we think of health and fitness we tend to think about the exercise and nutrition aspects and ultimately how these factors make us look and feel. I think this is an important factor to note, as vein as it sounds we all care about how we look and feel as much as sometimes we don’t admit it.

What is the biggest organ in the body? What do we present to people (ourselves included) every single day? Given the title of the post I’m guessing you have all answered SKIN and you would be correct!

In my post about tracking your progress I mentioned that  seeing your skin clearing up could possibly be one of the non-scale ways of seeing that you are making progress. I think we all are aware that generally being healthy can do wonders for your skin.

Exercising increases the blood flow which helps to nourish the skin cells whilst eating well evidently promotes cell growth and can do wonders for your skin.

I have noticed a difference in my skin, firstly not too long after I began regularly exercising, secondly when I started to cut down some of the crap I was eating and then again this year when I began to eat even cleaner and reduced the ‘cheat’ meals even further than prior.

I still have skin issues which generally flare up around that time of the month (being a women for the loss here!), however my skin is a lot better than it was.

While getting yourself into the habit of eating well and exercising regularly can do wonders for your skin using some products can enhance how your skin looks and feels.

This is what you have been waiting for: We have been lucky enough to get TWO NIVEA prize packs to give away! Keep reading for how to enter, it’s super easy!

Each of the TWO winners will receive one of each of these products which have been explained in some more detail below. Make sure you read it as you may find out some interesting ingredients which will give you a bonus entry into the draw 😉

NIVEA Irresistibly Smooth Body Lotion
Moisturises and softens the skin, leaving it silky smooth to the touch. The enriching effects of Gingko Extract, Shea Butter and Vitamin E provide the skin with long-lasting irresistible softness. – Now that we are heading in to summer we are starting to pull out our summer dresses and shorts and pack away the jeans and leggings. Nobody likes having dry skin so it’s an important time to crack out the body lotion!

NIVEA VISAGE Daily Essentials Refreshing Wash Gel
This refreshing wash gel effectively removes dirt while respecting the skins own lipids to prevent skin dehydration. Used twice daily, skin will be left feeling refreshed and invigorated. – Less dehydration for the skin is always a winner in my books, especially when the weather is beginning to heat up. 

NIVEA VISAGE Daily Essentials Refreshing Toner
The alcohol free formula contains Aloe Vera and Pro-Vitamin B5 to purify skin and tighten pores after cleansing. The result is a fresh, firm and revitalised complexion. – Aloe Vera is a perfect ingredient to sooth and repair your skin. 

NIVEA VISAGE Daily Essentials Light Moisturising Day Cream SPF 15
Enriched with Vitamins & Natural Lotus Extract to give your skin the intensive moisture it needs to support its natural balance. It provides your skin with intensive moisture for 24hrs to leave a fresh skin feeling, and with SPF 15 and extra UVA filters it helps to protect your skin from environmental influences and premature skin ageing. – I love a moisturising cream which has added SPF so you don’t need to worry about getting burnt when you pop out of the office for lunch! Be safe kids and always reapply if your going to be in the sun for a decent length of time. 

NIVEA Daily Essentials 3 in 1 Waterproof Make-up Remover
A mild formula that gently removes waterproof make up, eye make up & long-lasting lipstick without leaving any greasy residue. It is enriched with Chamomile extract and Provitamin B5, to hydrate and protect the skin and sensitive eye area with its mild formula. The skin and sensitive eye area is left gently cleansed, looking beautiful and feeling soft with cared-for eye-lashes. – We all know the importance of removing your makeup before you go to bed right?

NIVEA Invisible for B&W Pure Roll On
Prevents unsightly yellow stains on white clothes and ugly white deodorant marks on dark clothes. As well as protecting your clothes, NIVEA Invisible for Black & White gives you 48 hours antiperspirant protection, while being kind to the skin. – I swear by this stuff, I’ve never had deodorant marks on my clothes EVER using this!

NIVEA Hand Intensive Nourishing Cream
Rich & quickly absorbed hand cream. It provides intensive moisturisation to relieve dry skin and dry skin irritation. The pampering formula also improves skin elasticity and cares for cuticles. The cream leaves hands feeling soft, smooth and protected with just one application. – Something I am guilty of is neglecting is my hands when I moisturise.
