Himalayas Nourishing Cream and Me [GIVEAWAY]

Anyone heard of Himalayas Nourishing Cream?

Before I was approached to do a blog post about it, I have already USED up two tubs!

==================

I first heard about Himalaya's Herbal Nourishing Cream in Watsons while shopping around for daily essentials. I looked over and i saw two korean girls (super fair and flawless looking skin) clearing Himalayas Cream off its shelf.

YES, they CLEARED the shelf.

Judging at their love for himalayas and fueled by the envy of their flawless looking skin, I bought a tube home.

and since, I've been using it for almost everywhere everyday!

hahaha

#truestory

=====================

Let me show you how i used them normally:

1. As a daily moisturizer for my face

I chose Himalaya as my long time ( around 1 year) moisturizer because of many factors!
To cut it short...
it's because it's feel great on my skin.


but as a responsible blogger, i shall elaborate more hehe
- it contains all natural ingredients!
- most importantly it contains :

ALOE VERA and WINTER CHERRY!

what's so special about aloe vera and winter cherry?
Aloe vera possesses properties that help to  moisturize and hydrate the skin and this prevents trans- epidermal water loss . 

Winter cherry roots possesses glycosides which exhibit potent antioxidant and skin conditioning benefits.

So with this two ingredients they added, your skin will feel hydrated and youthful!

In addition, it contains Indian Kino Tree (Pterocarpus marsupium Wood Extract) that is useful in treating skin conditions!

Not to forget, they added Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica Extract) which is a medicinal plant that is effective in treating wounds and burns, psoriasis, scleroderma and other skin diseases.

PACKED with natural ingredients for your skin, even for sensitive skin!

The cream feels heavenly on your skin!

It is absorbed into your skin rapidly and make your skin feel soft and healthy.

2. Make foundation sits better

I've got really dry skin, so foundation flakes and cakes up really easily!

especially when i go to colder countries, they are horrendous!

However, after experimenting with different foundation and application methods..

I found that adding cream to foundation works marvelously!

No photoshop! Just by adding Himalayas Nourishing Cream you will get better and more even looking foundation!

Because Himalaya's Nourishing Cream provides all day moisturizing and nourishment, your skin will feel supple even throughout the day even with foundation on!

3. Massage Cream

I do facial massage daily during the night (and sometimes morning when i've got more time)

Facial massage is important as it helps to improve circulation, remove toxins and relaxes expression lines! 

I uses Himalaya's Nourishing Cream for my daily massage as it spreads well and reduces friction during massage.

In addition, Himalaya's Nourishing Cream contains Winter Cherry which have potential anti inflammatory, anti bacterial and anti oxidant effects which is in line with what i hope to achieve through facial massage (remove toxins to prevent break outs and youthful skin)!

haha and also because it just feel heavenly when applied on! =D

One of the steps i love the most for my facial massage!　Try it, it feels very comfortable!

4. Portable moisturizer

Himayala's Nourishing Cream comes in 2 sizes!
150ml and 50ml!

I always bring my 50ml out cause it's so light!

and most importantly, i've got super dry skin!
My hands feels dry after long hours in an air conditioned room or even just after washing hands!

So i always apply them after washing hands!

and yes, Himayala's Nourishing Cream is not a facial cream, it can be used on your body to restore its moisture~!

and they smell soooo nice too!
