LUV UR Skin: Girls Skincare created by a girl, specifically for girls!

Being a tween is a confronting stage; not only is your body changing, so too are your emotions, friendships and your perceived reality of the world.

It is not often you hear about entrepreneurial tweens, so naturally I was impressed to hear about schoolgirl Izzi Dymalovski and the range of girls skincare products she developed – Luv Ur Skin.

 

Luv Ur Skin offers specifically formulated skin and body care products designed for girls aged between 6-18 years of age. Luv Ur Skin uses only natural ingredients and plant extracts to create all of their skincare items. With a tween of my own, I was excited to test the range and offer my daughter skincare items that were beneficial for her skin and were environmentally sustainable. We tested:

 

Face Pack – Trio Box Set

Perfect for testing the Luv Ur Skin brand and their key girls skincare items; the trio box set includes Face Wash 20ml, Facial Moisturiser 20ml and Lip Balm 10ml. Both my daughter and I love the bonus headband that is included as it really helps make washing you face easier.

 

The Facewash has a wonderfully fresh smell, as if you could eat it. It lathers up nicely and rinses off well. I like that the moisturiser is lightweight and that it uses natural ingredients designed to calm, soothe and relax the skin. My only wish would be for the moisturiser to include an SPF.

 

The Lip Balm has a light fragrance to it and feels nourishing. It provides a nice shine (without colour) to your lips and doesn’t leave a sticky feeling. The Vanilla Cream flavour is very light. The size is fantastic as Miss E keeps hers in her pencil case which is super cool and exciting and says that she likes the slanted applicator tip. We also tested the BERRILICIOUS lip balm (sold separately) which Miss E likes the most as it apparently tastes delicious.

 

As a parent, I like the fact that the girls skincare products are made with natural ingredients and do not contain synthetic emulsifiers or fillers, artificial preservatives, colours or fragrances.

I think this is important as children tend to have more sensitive skin and with their likelihood of getting acne, not having additional components within the mix could reduce the chance that you will annoy or infect the pores.

 

The Face Pack Trio Box Set comes in a cute functional tin box which is perfect for storing items including fad toys and handy when travelling.

RRP: $14.99

 

Body Wash

The Berrilicious Body Wash has a lovely berry fragrance to it and it is designed to clean without striping your natural oils. With antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, it will help to soothing and calming irritated skin – ideal when acne starts occurring. The body wash is easy to get out of the tube and offers a nice thick body wash so a little goes a long way. My daughter smelt lovely after using it and was certainly cleaner.

RRP $10.99

 

Body Lotion

The Body Lotion also has a lovely berry smell to it and the colour when applying it is very interesting as it comes out almost pink – which amused Miss E. The Body Lotion offers a lightweight cream that sinks into the skin immediately and leaves a light pleasant fragrance. The size of the tube is great as Miss E can keep it in her room and easily squeeze out the lotion when needed. I am just hoping that the colourful packaging and easy to apply lotion will encourage her to use body lotion more often.

RRP: $12.99

 

Light Up Your Night Nail Polish

In addition to skin care and body care, Luv Ur Skin has fantastic glow in the dark nail polish.

This was the biggest hit with my daughter. Miss E loved sitting with her friends (on numerous occasions), painting their nails and getting hers painted. The real test came at night time, when following an excited shriek, I was called to her room to see her finger nails glowing in the dark. At only $12.99 for a three pack, I think it is a great present idea for many tweens and is perfect for sleepovers.

 

Overall; I like that the brand embraces fun, vibrant themes with a good encouraging message. Behind all the products the message for the tweens is to embrace themselves; take care of themselves and it also look out for the environment. The pricing of the products is reasonable which is important for the family budget.
