In my most recent Bloggers who Bless goodie bag, I received a Nimue Vitamin C moisture mist. This little gem is the sole inspiration for my “Use the fancies, dammit” challenge. 

I took one look at it and knew that I’d enjoy using it – I wasn’t wrong. The bottle is as classy and fabulous as the 15 on Orange hotel:

 

The brand low down:

Nimue was initially aimed at the medical market for application before and after surgeries. Since then, it has become a globally recognized brand and today we can find their innovative products in leading salons.

Nimue knows their stuff as far as skin care is concerned and is renowned for their skin classification concept whereby skin is categorised as follows:

1. Environmentally Damaged Skin
2. Hyperpigmented Skin
3. Problematic Skin
4. Interactive Skin

Their methods of treating skin are simply based on Rejuvenation, Restoration, Antioxidation and Sun Protection.

This makes more sense than chucking skin into “age groups”. I’m sure you can agree that nobody “ages” the same and that skin damage can result from a magnitude of factors ranging from diet to exposure to the sun.

This is why you want to use the Vitamin C moisture mist:

Besides the obvious hydration factor, this mist freshens the skin as well as act as a natural UVA protector. Vitamin C is a key ingredient in many “anti-aging” products as it acts as a stimulator for the production of collagen, which means better skin elasticity and a radiant and hydrated skin.

The short term benefit: it immediately makes you look refreshed.

The best part of it all: all 4 of the skin categories can use it and you can use it over your makeup without worrying about it messing up all your hard work.

On a personal note: Don’t be a blondie like me and spray your face while breathing in. Also, (and I’m sure I don’t really need to say this, but if I did it, others might do it too) close your mouth and eyes when you use the mist on your face. That being said, it doesn’t taste too bad and it doesn’t burn your eyes so much… so…

*scuse me while I gather myself … I LOVE YOU TOM*

Cost and contact: At first, I was afraid, I was petrified, but very happy to see that it will be raining Nimue products from here on forward because they are very affordable. This bottle retails for R150 but check your local stockist, because I’ve seen them going for an impressive R139.00 each.

At the last #BWB lunch I was a little bit ecstatic when I saw a little something something from Nimue in the goodie bag.  I have wanted to try some of their products since FOREVER and what better product to get than their Vitamin C Moisture Mist


The benefits of the mist are primarily to provide hydration and protection against light induced skin aging, it offers a refreshing and invigorating skin experience and aroma, offers UVA protection.  It gives the skin a radiant and hydrating glow as well as adding in some Antioxidants which assist in reducing signs of ageing.
I have been using it daily ever since I received it and absolutely adore it.  Two little sprays onto my face before my foundation/bb cream leaves my skin feeling absolutely amazing!

Nimue’s Vitamin C Moisture Mist is recommended for anyone with environmentally damaged skin, hyperpigmented skin, problematic skin as well interactive skin and it retails for approximately R285.00 for a 140ml bottle and you can get a refill for approximately R200.00 (depending on your stockist of choice) .
