Since I started my new job in an animal rescue center my poor hands have suffered severely. I’m often working outside in the cold, handling animals, cleaning with bleach and I need to wash my hands every 15 minutes! A great hand cream is my latest beauty essential and I currently have a hand cream on my bedside table, in my handbag, in my bathroom at home and beside the sink in the kitchen at work where I prepare the animals feeds. That’s why, when Forest Secrets contacted me asking if I would like to try their iRejuvinate Cream of Wonders Hand and Body Cream* I jumped at the chance!
First of all, how cute is the packaging? My items were sent in a dark green cardboard box, protected with dark green shredded paper which fits perfectly with the Forest Secrets branding, and is of course completely recyclable.
This cream has a lotion like texture, is a pretty light pink color and has a delicate floral smell. A little bit goes a long way and it is absorbed easily and quickly. This is essential for me when I’m applying hand cream multiple times at work. I just don’t have the time to stand around waiting for hand cream to dry in!
iRejuvinate contains natural ingredients that work to improve skin's firmness, elasticity and tone whilst protecting it from free-radicals and environmental harm. A full sized (125ml) bottle is priced at £25 or you can pick up the 20ml travel/trial size for £6.
Although I’ve mostly been using this cream as a hand cream, Forest Secrets Skincare founder Barbara Olioso informed me that it also works wonders on post pregnancy stretch marks as it boosts skin’s collagen and the chlorella disguises stretch marks.
l’m delighted to say that Forest Secret Skincare products are BUAV approved making them 100% cruelty free. This makes me exceedingly happy and I’ve added the brand to my List of Cruelty Free Brands.
iRejuvinate is available from Urban Retreat at Harrods and online at www.forestsecretsskincare.com. I recommend stopping by the website and checking out Forest Secret’s intriguing personalised skincare system which involves combining the available serums and elixirs to create the perfect solution for your skin. If this system works half as well as the iRejuvinate hand and body cream does then I’d be very happy!
