I am not a big fan of winter. I could list many things that I really dislike about the season, but to shorten it down, one of my top 3 pet peeves is the dry, itchy skin that comes with the colder weather. I have sensitive skin year round, but it gets irritated more easily in the winter, so I have to be extra cautious of what products I use on my body. When Belli Skincare contacted me to review some of their skincare products, I was thrown a little off guard since it is skincare geared towards expecting mothers, which I am definitely not. But after reading a little more about the product line, it clicked in my head. I often switch to using baby wash in the winter months because it doesn't irritate my skin, so there isn't much of a difference in trying a more adult version of these types of skincare products. Belli Skincare isn't just for expecting mothers. It's for anyone who wants to pamper their skin while maintaining peace-of-mind.
The thing that first drew me to Belli Skincare is that it is safe to use on all skin types. Every Belli product is allergy tested, free of artificial dyes or fragrances, phthalates and paraben preservatives. The products even go through a unique safety screening process to avoid ingredients with known links to birth defects or harmful effects while breastfeeding, so they are the perfect product anyone concerned with what they are putting onto their skin.
Belli offers an extensive line of products, from body wash and lip balm to facial moisturizers and cleansers. I received 4 of the products to try for myself:
Belli All Day Moisture Body Lotion :
This lightweight body lotion deeply moisturizes and comforts dry skin. It features lemon oil, which is known for its uplifting qualities, and chamomile that soothes and refreshes. The light lemony scent smells amazing, and the lotion dried very quickly. What I LOVED about this product was how soft my skin felt after use. It was like butter! So smooth and soft, it is a part of my morning and evening moisturizing routine now.
Belli Pure & Pampered Body Wash:
Specially formulated for daily use, is gently cleans without stripping skin of its natural oils. It features cucumber and green tea extracts, which are both rich in antioxidants. The lavender and chamomile not only provide an incredible scent, they offer a relaxing aromatherapy experience.
Belli Healthy Glow Facial Hydrator :
This daily/nightly moisturizer is rich in botanical humectants that help refine and soften skin texture. It includes an antioxidant boost of Vitamin C and grape seed oil for healthy and radiant looking skin. It is lightweight, dries quickly, and the grape seed gives it a wonderful citrus scent. Like the All Day Moisture Body Lotion, the Healthy Glow Facial Hydrator left my skin feeling as soft and smooth as butter. Truly amazing!
Belli Eye Brightening Cream:
Since I have ulcerative colitis, I tire very easily and it usually shows in my eyes first. Keeping products on hand to help minimize the tired eyes plagued with dark circles is a must for me. The Belli Eye Brightening Cream does a fabulous job of hydrating the delicate eye skin to reduce puffiness, and the Vitamin B3 helps the eye area look restored. It features Vitamin K that has been scientifically reported to reduce the appearance of dark circles. The bottle is .5 ounces, so I like to keep it tucked into my handbag for a quick refresher when needed throughout the day.
Belli Skincare products are manufactured in the U.S.A, are not tested on animals, and are OB/GYN & Dermatologist recommended. Belli is Picky for a Purpose delivering trusted skin care solutions that pamper and protect without known harmful chemicals.
You can purchase these Belli products at belliskincare.com, buy buy Baby, Ulta, and other fine retailers nationwide. If you would like to learn more about Belli, be sure to visit their website.
In addition to the Belli skincare products, I also received CapriClear Spray-On Moisturizer.
CapriClear Spray-On Moisturizer was conceived by a dermatologist, and is a pure and effective solution for even the most sensitive skin. Made with just a single-ingredient, fractionated coconut oil, which is extracted from whole coconut oil, it is the purest, most stable form of coconut oil available.
CapriClear is colorless and odorless, and sprayed onto the skin, it creates an even, fine veil of moisture that is quickly absorbed for soothing relief. It is non-greasy and won't stain clothing. It contains natural and anti-bacterial properties, and is free of:
Fragrance, parabens, emulsifiers, phthalates, dyes, sulfates, preservatives,PABA, additives, gluten, and other toxins that can lead to skin irritation.
CapriClear is great for an all natural moisturizer, helps improve the appearance of scars and stretchmarks, and is accepted by the National Eczema Association, which I love. My daughter tends to get eczema flares often in the winter, so the 1.9oz travel size is perfect for her to keep tucked into her backpack for quick moisturizing and relief while at school.
Earlier this year I learned of all the health benefits of coconut oil, and one of them was it is great for the hair. While I didn't see any hair recommendations on the product packaging, I actually have been spritzing some of this on my hair daily. It really helps to reduce the appearance of dry, brittle hair and adds a nice little shine to it as well, leaving my hair soft and silky all day long. Since my daughter keeps the travel size we received in her school bag, I will be purchasing the full size to keep in my stash of beauty care products that I use daily.
CapriClear can be purchased at Ulta, Harmons, Bed Bath & Beyond, Amazon, Drugstore.com, AskDerm,com, GreenCupboards.com, and other fine retailers. If you would like to learn more about CapriClear, you can find more information on their website.
Do you suffer from dry, irritated winter skin? Do you think Belli Skincare and CapriClear would help relieve your winter skin symptoms?

ReplyDeleteI do love camomile both in my tea and in my creams :) And the older I get the more I like it LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm currently using shea butter and aloe vera cream for my face and camomile/olive oil cream for my hands
I just picked up some shea butter at the craft store. I want to try my hand and some homemade lotion bars. I found a recipe for a pumpkin scented one and can't wait to try it out!
DeleteI've used Dove shea butter body milk and shower gel for a year now, and it really works wonders on your skin, but that is the case with all Dove products :)
DeleteI've used Dove on several occasions. I do love the way it smells!
Deleteyep, hate friggin itchy skin in winter. Coconut oil seems to be good for everything
ReplyDeleteI get dry, itchy skin in the winter too. I always thought it must be the heater, but now that I've lived her longer, I see it's just one other thing to attribute to Jack Frost (whom I think is a turkey, btw). ;)
ReplyDeleteYou can't get enough moister this time of year. It gets so dry. I've been drinking a ton of water, and I still feel dry. My hair keeps standing up on end to.
ReplyDeleteI have my eye on that Healthy Glow Facial Hydrator. My face is so dry and when it gets dry... I look even more wrinkled than I am.

ReplyDeleteI have not tried Belli Skincare. I suffer from dry itchy skin in the winter.
ReplyDeleteThis stuff sounds great. Just the fact that it's free of all the garbage that's in most products sells me on it.
ReplyDeleteI don't suffer too much from dry skin because we live in a warm weather state and we are not running a furnace which tends to dry skin out more. But I am always looking to try out new skin care products because I like to see what is out there.
ReplyDeleteAll sounds like great products. I do have such a time with dry skin.
ReplyDeleteI have sensative skin and a lot of products out there cause breakouts or rashes. Not a fan. I also get really bad dry skin which gets worse in the Michigan winter. Yesterday I had a spot on my cheek that was cracked and bleeding after running errands. It was so dry and I must have brushed it with my hand or something and didnt realize. I got home and my skin was flaky. Not a fan of that either. I've tried a few products, some good results, some rotten. This one sounds like one worth trying.
ReplyDeletethis time of year i need extra moisturizer. I'll have to check this out for my hands
ReplyDeleteThese look great. I wish I knew about them when I was pregnant.
ReplyDeleteThese all sound amazing! I need to try out that lotion & body wash since my skin is already looking shriveled & dry - with nothing helping enough of course.
ReplyDeleteI have very sensitive skin, so this would definitely be a line for me. I like that they don't test on animals
ReplyDeleteOoh, these skincare items sound great. I get so dry on my face, elbows and ankles during the winter being all covered up!
ReplyDeleteBelli sounds like a great product, always looking for something new when it comes to skin care!

ReplyDeleteI could totally use some of this. I have such dry skin especially in the winter time and it would be great to have a product that would help me with that.
ReplyDeleteI would love to use this product line. I need a new way to moisturize.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty much the only thing I don't like about winter, is what it does to my skin, especially my hands, since you wash a lot, then it's cold. This sounds like a good product line.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try these, the Winter is so harsh on my sensitive skin.

ReplyDeleteDry winter skin is the worst. I am dealing with it right now. A spray on moisturizer sounds really good right now.
ReplyDeleteI also have combo skin and the wacky weather here in L.A. combined with the smog is just doing a number on my skin. I need a soothing moisturizer like this.
ReplyDeleteAnd forgot to add an eye brightening cream would really help my tired looking eyes!
DeleteThis was largely beneficial to new parents as they could regularly take a peek into the diaper to see if it was soiled or not and also prevent any accidental pokes from the pins. Kūdikių Lovytės
