I took my two teenage children to Amsterdam this August for a city break. 4 days 3 nights of praying we didn’t fall out, argue or send each other mad! Anyone travelling with kids of this age will know exactly what I’m talking about! I made it my mission to visit places that were interactive and fun, to make sure no one was bored and everyone was happy. In between the organised chaos we visited a few shops to make some purchases. Could I resist looking at products available to buy skin or body care wise? Of course not! So here are a few things I found in the store ACTION (a store that sells a variety of different things like B&M), while enjoying Amsterdam:
Gotta Love Nature’s Aloe Vera Care Body Cream
200ml of super affordable and generously sized body cream, which aims to be soothing and comforting on the skin. Containing aloe vera juice and Vitamin E, this only cost €1.29.
Betty’s Nature Aloe Vera Gel
Containing 92% aloe vera with calendula, this product looked and sounded like a great all round product especially to use during warmer weather. Aloe vera is a great skin conditioner but also perfect to use as an after sun product if skin needs cooling down and comforting after being exposed to the sun. 300ml cost €2.22.
Booty & Body Cream
I noticed this came in various fragrances including Coconut Milk & Pink Rose and Amber Sun & Salted Toffee. All versions contained hyaluronic acid (helps to keep moisture in the skin) and coconut oil (moisturising). Only €1.99 for 240ml.
Lavato Body Scrubs
Such eye catching scrubs thanks to their vibrant colours and rich looking textures. Lavato’s Body Scrubs were in in 2 different versions: one with dragon fruit scent and the other passion fruit. Both contained sea salt to provide a thorough exfoliation. Glycerin and jojoba oil is in the ingredients list, so this isn’t a dry scrub but one with an oily texture to it. 400g for €1.99.
Guasha Jade Stone
Used to help improve the circulation of the skin, helping to soothe, smooth and massage helping improve the look and feel of the face. Only €0.89.
Body & Facial Cleansing Set
I was very tempted by this set of tools! A variety of different plastic brushes that can be used on the face and body. These will exfoliate the skin, improve circulation and help to prep the skin for further treatments and products. Very cute look wise and at a cost of €2.49.
There were so many affordable, budget friendly and fun products in this one store alone. Of course, there are branded items available in lots of different stores and shops. But if you’re looking for a lower price point to buy products for yourself or gifts, there’s plenty to choose from in ACTION!
