showmemakeup: EGYPTIAN MAGIC CREAM - YOUR SKIN WILL THANK YOUA few years ago I purchased this product on a flight from the UK to Cyprus after reading that this was an ‘all-purpose, all natural’ based cream. I suffer from eczema on my legs and the cream I had packed had been confiscated at customs as the 5 bottles of 100ml liquids that I was taking didn’t all fit into the clear plastic bag that they provided, so it was a toss-up between binning my cream or my expensive DKNY perfume. Need I ask which you would have chosen? Now needing something to make sure my eczema stayed under control I saw this and immediately thought ‘what harm could it do?’ after all, it’s made up of a combination of 6 natural products; Honey, Beeswax, Olive Oil, Royal Jelly, Bee Pollen and Bee Propolis, meaning it’s free from fragrance, additives, preservatives, chemicals and parabens. It was a godsend during my two-week break in the Sun. What with applying sun lotion day after day, showering twice a day to remove said Sun lotion and drying my skin out in the Sun sent my eczema into overdrive. The Egyptian Magic Cream really helped to sooth the skin and keep it hydrated! I applied the cream at night rather than in the day as it’s emollient and I didn’t want to burn in the Sun, and this was all I needed to prevent my eczema escalating.I’ll be honest, for my eczema, nothing has been quite as good as the cream I have found made by a nurse who makes her own in London, also all natural, but I will do a post on that another time. I recommended this to a friend of mine (during another flight just last year as they sell this cream on the aircraft) and she’s been hooked ever since! We shot a tutorial together just last week and after commenting on how amazing her skin looked she told me she was still religiously using Egyptian Magic Cream on her face. I never really thought about the other purposes for this cream until recently when I acquired a new pot and I did more research into this amazing product and its uses - which by the way are endless. Here are some of its uses;Face Cream/MoisturiserLip BalmEye Cream Makeup RemoverMakeup PrimerEczema & Psoriasis ReliefShaving Balm (for both men and women) Hair Masque/ConditionerFirst Aid - Burn & Wound ReliefNappy/Diaper RashAfter Sun LotionHand & Cuticle CreamLubricant (Yep! All natural means it’s deemed safe) Massage BalmHelp Prevent Stretch Marks (during & after pregnancy)Cracked Heels and Elbows (love this for my heels!)Its purpose really is inexhaustible! Featured in Harpers Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and Vanity Fair it’s a firm favourite amongst bloggers and celebrities alike! Cameron Diaz, Rhianna, and Kate Hudson have all raved about their love for this product. I’ve been using it on my face after cleansing, toning and serums. I utilise the back of my nail to dispense a moderate amount of the cream, it’s quite solid so you can’t just dip your finger into it like a conventional cream, and then I rub it between my palms so that the heat from my skin warms the cream and it becomes an oil almost instantly, then I rub into my face, legs and anywhere that needs some hydration. I have oily skin naturally and automatically you assume that applying anything oily to your skin would be a no-no, but I’ve not suffered any breakouts while using this cream, instead I’m left with super soft skin in the mornings and the area on my cheeks that have been a little dehydrated no longer appear so. Now, it’s not classed as non-comedogenic (a word to describe products that won’t clog your pores/cause acne) but according to the EMC website, two of the principal ingredients are olive oil and beeswax; olive oil is rated as a 2 on the scale of comedogenicity; beeswax falls between 0-2, so the risk of EMC causing you to breakout is slim to none. All of the other ingredients are at 0.You’ll see from the above image that it’s not too dissimilar in appearance to vaseline but they are very different in their abilities to heal and hydrate the skin due to their ingredients. At the beginning of Spring, I had been complaining about how dry my legs had become, so much so that I could rub my legs down and they would appear dusty! My actual Eczema was under control thanks to my special cream, but the dryness was something new to me. I tried using vaseline in addition to my eczema cream but my legs remained oily when using it and that in-turn made my legs itch. So I got myself a new pot of the Egyptian Magic Cream and the dryness really has completely disappeared! I can’t recommend this product enough. It’s available in 2 sizes; 4oz/118ml and a 1oz/30ml travel size. The 4oz is around £29.00, and you can also buy a 3ml sample size for £10, which I think is expensive! You may as well purchase one of the actual pots if you’re going to shell out £10 for 3ml. Get yours here US & CA: http://bit.ly/2KKR5P0UK & EU: http://bit.ly/2KPiu2FShonagh x -- source link
