Astral Face & Body Intensive Moisturiser Cream with Cocoa Butter 200ml

Product Information

Things have changed. These days, surfactants are way milder than they used to be. Take Sodium Trideceth Sulfate and Sodium Lauroamphoacete, the two surfactants in Astral Intensive Moisturising Body Wash Original & With Cocoa Butter. TJ Beauty Products cannot accept responsibility for damages / shortages / incorrect products reported after the stated 24 hour period.

They’re so mild, they don’t foam much. But they easily melt away sweat and other grime of daily life. Granted, if you’ve played in mud, chances are they’re not strong enough to do the job. But then, are you really doing that? But wait! Don’t surfactants have a bad rep? Yes. Blame it on the old generation of surfactants (I’m looking at you, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate). They were drying, irritating and stripped all traces of moisturising oils from your skin. Hi, I'm Gio!

However, it's also moisturising enough to provide effective hydration to dryer parts of the body such as your hands, knees and elbows. 8. Use your Astral cream as… a face mask

Here's the thing, according to its makers, well, there's none. It's literally nothing more than a water-oil emulsion. Its main USP is that it’s ‘just’ a moisturiser. ‘Astral cream doesn’t contain any miracle ingredients,’ its makers say proudly. Sunflower oil creates a barrier on the skin that keeps moisture in. Here, it makes sure skin stay soft and supple all through the cleansing process.

Astral Original Features

Even better, once you reach your destination, it’s excellent for soothing skin after a day in the sun. 6. Use your Astral cream to... Remove makeup So you’ve finally mastered applying fake tan perfectly (our advice: use a barrier cream on dry areas like knees and elbows, and blend, blend, blend with a tanning mitt). Now you’ve got that golden glow, you want it to last, don't you? Thanks to Astral's blend of hydrating and soothing ingredients, the little blue tub makes for a seriously moisturising face mask.

To reduce the rate of skin sloughing, you need to keep the skin hydrated. This is where Astral comes in – slather on to the skin to extend the life of your tan, and you can stay bronzed for longer. Because Astral cream is made up of lanolin and glycerin, rather than being oil-based, it won't strip the tan from your skin - like other moisturisers might. The rich formulation of Astral Original is a simple water in oil emulsion formula. It acts as a barrier cream, stopping the moisture already held in the skin from evaporating, while simultaneously delivering extra moisture, leaving skin feeling plumped, pliable and less dry Please inspect goods fully on receipt.

It’s because air in the pressurised cabin of planes is often less than 20% humidity (by way of comparison, the ideal relative humidity in a British home is around 50 to 55%).
