What I got: This is a 130ml tub of Manuka Doctor ApiNourish Firm Body Moisturiser. The latest addition to Manuka Doctor’s award winning high performance skin care range, Firm Body Moisturiser, is a luxurious everyday body moisturiser specifically designed to help firm and smooth skin, especially those troublesome spots that the gym just doesn’t seem to improve, no matter how often you go! Included in this fast acting, rich uplifting age-defying formula for younger looking body contours is a unique combination of Manuka Doctor’s signature ingredients of clinically proven Purified Bee Venom (PBVTM), Certified UMF 18+ Manuka Honey and Royal Jelly. These work in harmony with the skin to deeply nourish and restore the skin’s softness and also visibly improve the skin’s elasticity and firmness. Shea Butter and Silk Extract are combined to leave skin looking soft and feeling silky smooth, while Chicory Root, Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum and Red Algae extracts tighten and lift the skin, leaving your body contour looking more even toned, deliciously hydrated, soft and supple.
Manuka Doctor ApiNourish Firm Body Moisturiser
How I find it: I like to apply this day and night (after a shower) to my tummy and thigh area which is my main concern of skin that is in loss of tightness (let’s face it, flabby loose skin!). I use circular and upward massaging motion until the moisturiser is absorbed.
Overall: After giving birth to baby Asher (nearly 9 months old now, yikes!), I have been having problems with the extra bit of fat and loose skin around my belly and bust so I have been applying this diligently the night I received it. It doesn’t make my skin feel sticky or greasy, nor does it sting in anyway from the bee venom. I have no adverse reactions with bee products so my skin is fine with the moisturiser. I just need to make sure I wash my hands afterwards before playing with my baby as with any other body lotion/moisturiser anyway. After 2 weeks of daily use twice a day, my skin feel moisturised and a little tighter. Skin is not loose and wrinkly, but I think I need to lose more weight though! Will continue to use it until it is all gone!
