I grew up with plain old Nivea Creme in the blue tin. It was often the only moisturiser in our house and was used by everyone for everything from sunburn to dry elbows! The smell reminds me of growing up. Over the years I have used Nivea shower gel, body lotion, facial skincare products and even Nivea hair products. They are budget-friendly and usually work well.
For some reason I have not used any Nivea products lately, but one of these came free in a magazine and I have bought several more, at $1 for each two-mask sachet. This mask is thick and rich, and really nourishes my skin. You remove the excess (each mask is a very generous helping) with a tissue rather than rinsing it off and when I use it, I don’t even need to apply moisturiser afterwards.
