The Body Shop:Seaweed Skincare

Today I'm going to be reviewing some of The Body Shop's Seaweed Skincare range (as seen below). Overall the range is great so don't be put off by the name-the seaweed smell is actually very delicate and isn't what you expect at all; the smell has actually become one of my favourites now as its so relaxing.


The first item I'm going to review is the Seaweed Mattifying Moisture Lotion SPF 15. I love this moisturiser and I use it everyday as part if my Skincare routine, it's for Combination/Oily skin and so it's perfect for me as it balances out the oily areas if my skin and its oil free. I also tend to catch the sun on my face even in winter and so the SPF 15 in the cream means that I can avoid red cheeks! It's long lasting and at £11 for 50ml, although a little on the expensive side, it's really worth the money.

The next item is the Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream. I purchased this before I discovered the SPF moisturiser and I used to use it everyday-nowadays I use it  at night as its lighter than the SPF version. This is a little cheaper than its SPF cousin at £10 for 50ml but again its well worth the money and perfect if you don't like the idea if using an SPF moisturiser. This moisturiser is also oil free.

The next item I'm going to review is the Seaweed Purifying Facial Cleanser, it's £8 for 200ml and it smells amazing! It's really long lasting and it makes my skin feel really fresh and clean after I've used it-I would definitely recommend it.

Up next is the Seaweed Clarifying Toner which, as you can see, I have used loads of and I'm  already on my 5/6th bottle! It smells great, it works brilliantly and the price is good too (£8 for 200ml). The only problem I have is that I use it up fairly quickly but The Body Shop often have offers in stir or online and so I stock up when I can.

Finally I have the Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask which is £12 for 100ml. I don't use face masks very often and I'm hoping that this will last me a long time. I really like the texture of the mask and it does exactly what it says on the tin.
