I use a super-expensive facial moisturiser for my dry, sensitive skin - someone recommended Nivea cream to me as a cheap every-now-and-then moisturiser to keep in the gym bag and make my super-expensive last longer.... I figured at $8 from the Warehouse, I may as well try it....
I am SO glad I did. It works wonders on flaky skin, is great for rough areas on the body, and is very lightly scented which I love. It has a firming effect on my skin, and I can even use it as a night creme or eye cream if needed. And I get no reaction from alternating between this and my super-expensive. I'll still continue to use both as the Nivea is very thick and trickier to apply - and just isn't quite as good with irritated skin - but it certainly does it's part to bulk out my routine and save me money!
This Nivea cream is so rich, perfect for lips, hands, feet, knees, elbows - anywhere that gets rough. My Mum always used this when we were kids, and still does, so it reminds me of childhood and my teenage years 'borrowing' it to get soft lips.
Tips: Use after a lip scrub at night for super soft lips in the morning.
I wouldn't use this on my face, having oily/combination skin it would be too greasy, just perfect for dry areas.
