Dream Cream

THE cream I always wanted for my body but did not exist. This cream was named by members of our forum, after I commented excitedly about how good it felt.

This dream cream contains SAS antiOx booster with the best lycopene, lutein and more (see below), the antioxidant benefits of cumin (in tetrahydrocurcuminoids), complete nutrition provided by sea kelp bioferment and coconut endosperm, plus the emolliency of shea butter and the essential fatty acids of rosehip oil.

Our dream cream provides nutrition and relief for hungry skin in a lovely mousse that looks pretty enough to decorate a cake.
The cream is based on our European cream so it is a good option for customers who are looking for creams that do not contain parabens.

How important is using moisturizer on your face?

When I put any type of moisturizer on my face, my flaws stand out more. Idk why.
When I don’t use moisturizer, my skin looks great-I don’t even need the foundation I wear.
So can I go without moisturizing my face?

Moisturizer is EXTREMELY important. Everyone technically should be using a daytime moisturizer and a night cream. Daytime moisturizer acts as a barrier to help hold in your skin’s moisture (water) as there are so many dehydrating elements we face everyday. A night cream penetrates the skin and replenishes the moisture that was lost throughout the day. It’s important to wear it at night as that is when our body is at rest and your skin isn’t being subjected to as many dehydrating factors. Without using both of these items, your skin will break down much faster and will lose elasticity, making it wrinkle far quicker than it regularly would.
