After road-testing the Australian-made Pink Hibiscus range, I know why celebrities like Jackie O and Bessie Bardot rave about them. They are the ultimate pampering products at affordable prices.
Made from papaya extract, almond oil and ground walnut shells, the Body Smoother (RRP $24.00) acts as an exfoliator and moisturiser, making it ideal for time-strapped workaholics like me. It’s also perfect for preparing your skin for a spray tan or DIY fake-tanning. I found its scent of palmarosa, lemongrass, patchouli and geranium very uplifting. Another enlivening product was the Replenishing Cleanser (RRP $19.00) with its blend of lavender, palmarosa, geranium, sweet orange and patchouli. This gentle product is suitable for all skin types.
My ‘scent-ual’ experience continued when I slathered myself in the Tropical Body Soufflé in Frangipani (RRP $23.00). This non-greasy moisturiser, which also contains Vitamin E and shea nut butter, left my skin feeling soft and supple.
The fragrance-free Eyelights Eye Balm (RRP $18.00) is another winner for rejuvenating tired or ageing skin. The puffiness of my eyes was also greatly improved by the soothing cucumber and chamomile extracts and the nourishing Vitamins A and E. This hypo-allergic formula is recommended for people with sensitive skin or skin allergies.
