The sun has kindly graced us with it's presence and in London this means only one thing...day trips! The British mentality of having stay out and squeeze every last drop of the pleasant weather never seems to wear off.
This weekend I spent all my time picnicing in the park, boozing in the beer garden, going on a long walk along the Southbank and of course shopping on Bond Street (mainly window shopping unfortunately).
The perfect end to a perfect weekend was taking home with me a new Sakare beauty product which I had not yet tried. After a few too many hours sunbathing without any sun protection (don't follow in my footsteps) I had a few red patches which were instantly noticeable to the sales assistant. She said that there is a good chance my skin will simply peel off and that I need something to help take care of the skin as much as possible. She gave me the ENRICHING SHEA BUTTER to try.
I'm not claiming that any product can reverse the harmful damage of the sun, and the sales assistant made sure to remind me of that, but she did say that this cream would moisturise and give a layer of protection to the skin, hopefully stopping it from peeling off.
I have to say that it definitely eased the stinging when I applied it that night but it was sightly difficult to rub in as it is so thick. This product is not watered down or filled with added perfume and chemicals. It's pure shea butter and so does wonders for the skin.
The next morning I noticed that the redness had slightly been reduced and my skin was much less sensitive or stingy to the touch. The best thing was that the thickness of the cream had acted as a sort of barrier for my delicate skin overnight. If I hadn't applied the cream I firmly believe that my skin would have been peeling off due to damage and the wear and tear of rolling around in bed. Over the next few days I will continue use to see if my skin keeps up this speed of recovery.
Please be careful in the sun! Just because there is a product which acts as a sunburn remedy doesn't mean that it's ok to burn yourself! This product would also be amazing for sufferers of dry skin and for those problem areas which everyone has (chapped heels, lips, elbows etc). Not so practical for full body usage, but great for a quick recovery when skin is in need!
