Sample Store x NIVEA Anti-Perspirant Whitening Happy Shave

Hello everybody! Apologies for the long hiatus. Was rather busy with attachment but all is well now as I'm back to school!

As you can see from the title, I will be introducing to you the NIVEA Anti-Perspirant Whitening Happy Shave.

Deodorant is an essential in my everyday life. I believe it is too, to most of you girls out there, Whether you really have body odour or not, I believe everybody would want fresh underarms throughout the day. Not to mention the very humid weather in Singapore which causes us to sweat easily!

Having fresh underarms is a thing, but having white underarms is another! Most of the women (and girls) shave their underarms. For me, I prefer plucking. Hahaha. The problem with shaving is that it causes the skin to darken and become rough . Regular shaving also damages your skin and cause irritation (like redness, itchiness and burning sensations).

The good thing about the NIVEA Anti-Perspirant Whitening Happy Shave is that:

• it whitens and smooth the skin
• it repair damaged cells
• it reduces skin irritation from shaving 
• it support skin regeneration
• it provide 48-hour protection against body odour and sweat

It also contains provitamin B5 and vitamin C

Provitamin B5 turns into vitamin B5 after penetration into the skin, accelerating skin metabolism, promoting wound healing, supporting formation of new cells, and is deeply moisturising as well.

Vitamin C protects against free radical damage, inhibits melanin formation, and helps to promote collagen formation. NIVEA Deodorant Whitening Happy Shave has 95 per cent of vitamin C to repair hair from shaving and plucking! 

What I love about this product is that it does not cause stinging sensation in my underarms unlike other deodorants regardless of roll on ones or the spray ones. And yes! My underarms really did whiten after a week of usage! It is said that in just two weeks, you will see visible whitening on your underarms, with the possibility of skin reactions to shaving greatly reduced, as skin undergoes regeneration and repair. However, I believe it varies from individual to individual! So fret not when yours does not whiten as fast as your friends who are using the same product, yours may just take a longer time!

Sample Store x NIVEA Body Intensive Moisture Serum SPF 25 PA++

Hello everybody! I hope you guys have been to the street sampling and enjoyed yourselves. If you do not know what I am talking about, you are obviously missing out! You may refer to my previous blog post on Bio-essence Hydra Tri-Action Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask. Even though you may have missed the street sampling, you can still redeem free samples from Sample Store! Trust me, it is that good!

Today I will be reviewing on the NEW! Body Intensive Moisture Serum SPF 25 by NIVEA. Stay with me till end to find out how you can win shopping vouchers and hampers!

Do you know that being exposed to the sun and environmental factors causes loss of moisture and essential oils that protect our skin? Being exposed to these harmful rays and factors causes our skin to be dry and damaged, which is not what we want! As we all know, skin defines our age in a way or another. When our skin is damaged and dry, it makes us look older than what we actually are!

With the NEW! Body Intensive Moisture Serum SPF 25, it does not only repair the 10 signs of dry and damaged skin, it protects our skin from the sun too! The good news is that this is the first body serum that repairs your skin within 24 hours!

What are the 10 signs of dry and damaged skin?

• Flaky
• Itchy
• Uneven
• Scratched
• Rough
• Cracked
• Stressed
• Dull
• Peeling
• Tight

I am guilty of 6 out of the 10 signs of dry and damaged skin. Yes, my skin is that dry and damaged. I damn pitiful right, everywhere also dry. My face dry, body also dry. Luckily I have Sample Store  to pamper me with all the goodies. Because we are living in a country where it is scorching hot and humid almost everyday, we have to slab on many products to protect our skin. But because I am lazy, this is my karma. Serve me right. 

 How does this serum effectively repair, supply and protect the skin?

Protects against loss of moisture: 100x concentrated Vitamin E and Grape Seed Oil

Do you know that Vitamin E and Grape Seed Oil are famous for their strong anti-oxidants properties? They are capable of defending our skin from problems caused by the sun and free radical damaged. These ingredients are like the knights in shining armor for our skin, they guard our skin from the loss of moisture. 

Repairs dry and damaged skin: Avocado Oil

Avocado Oil have wonderful emollient and hydrating properties. Being one of the natural oil that is most easily absorbed into the skin and transporting deep into the tissues, the avocado oil helps in relieving itchiness and dryness. It also plays a part in the rejuvenation and regeneration of the skin. It repairs dry and damaged skin in the process.

Supply skin with moisture: Hydra IQ

Hydra IQ works by increasing the number of water channels in the skin cells by 3 times! Due to this, water flows better and faster from cell to cell, and even reaches the deepest layer of our skin! This restores skin's own moisture supply and regulates the balance of moisture within it. And do you know that this is inspired by a nobel prize winning discovery? Well, now you know!

Protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays: SPF 25 and PA++

UVA and UVB rays are actually the main cause of dry and damaged skin. Therefore, NIVEA actually added SPF 25 and PA++ into the intensive moisture serum. The serum then now serves as both a moisturising serum and sun screen! Meaning that we no longer have to put on sun screen and then body moisturiser!

 NEW! NIVEA Body Intensive Moisture Serum SPF 25 PA++ comes with an extra light and non-sticky formula to allow for quick absorption into the skin. With mostly nature inspired ingredients, the formula is gentle and does not result in thinning of skin. Within 24 hours from application, the 10 signs of dry and damaged skin become less apparent. Skin becomes noticeably healthier, smoother, softer and suppler.

Retail price: $8.90 / 200ml

Where to buy: Sold in all leading personal care stores and supermarkets, including Watsons, Guardians, Cold Storage, NTUC Fairprice outlets and major retailers.

Don't you hate it when you feel sticky and greasy after applying moisturisers? Well, this is another reason for you to love the NEW! NIVEA Body Intensive Moisture Serum SPF 25 PA++! Honestly, I find this product very affordable because firstly, it is a very big tube and it costs less than $10.00. Secondly, it is very convenient seeing that it is a drugstore brand. And thirdly...

Thirdly, it smells super duper nice!

How to use?

Squeeze a generous amount.

Apply all over body or as and when skin show signs of dryness and dullness.

And voila! Now we can all have hydrated, supple and smooth skin!
