The Body Shop has released a new firming skin care line called Natrulift. As with all of the Body Shop products, Natrulift contains natural, organic and Community Trade ingredients. This makes the products as good for our environment as they are for the skin! Some of the products I’ve tried are:
Natrulift Softening Facial Wash ($14.00 3.38 oz) — Best if you want to: Minimize the signs of aging and create a velvety-looking complexion with a softly-cleansing and refreshing facial wash. How it works:
- Daily cleansing is the first step to beautifully soft and smooth skin, removing impurities and preparing the skin for daily moisturizer.
- Pomegranate seed oil moisturizes skin and is rich in antioxidants to help minimize the damage cause by environmental aggressors.
- Community Trade Brazil nut oil moisturizes and softens skin.
What I think: This is a fantastic face wash! When I first squeeze a bit out, it is very creamy, pearly and smells like pomegranates. So far, so good, right? Then I smooth it on my skin, gently massaging it in and rinse it. My skin is soft and looks smooth, too!
Natrulift Firming Serum ($36.00 1 oz) — Best if you want to: Minimize signs of aging and leave skin feeling firmer and more toned with a hydrating serum. How it works:
- Has a temporary lifting effect: skin is plumper and hydrated.
- Pomegranate seed oil moisturizes skin and is rich in antioxidants to help minimize the damage cause by environmental aggressors.
- Organic Community Trade honey moisturizes and conditions skin.
What I think: This is my favorite product of the line. It is like a dose of instant gratification as immediately makes my skin look more even, smoother and lifted — and yes, younger! I apply this morning and night time before moisturizer. It is light and not sticky like some serums.
Natrulift Firming Day Cream ($30.00 1.7 oz) — Best if you want to: Minimize fine lines, smooth wrinkles and leave skin feeling firmer and hydrated with a day cream that moisturizes for up to 12 hours. How it works:
- Has a temporary lifting effect: skin is plumper and hydrated.
- Pomegranate seed oil moisturizes skin and is rich in antioxidants to help minimize the damage cause by environmental aggressors.
- Community Trade Brazil nut oil moisturizes and softens skin.
What I think: This cream on top of the serum really firms and smooths the skin. It is almost the consistency of a balm, though, and may be too heavy for day time for some skin. If your skin is naturally dry, or dry in the winter like mine, this will be a perfect day cream.
This collection also includes the Natrulift Softening Cream Cleanser, Natrulift Softening Toner and Natrulift Firming Night Cream. You can learn more about these products and purchase them at http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com.
