My Beauty Project 'K': KORRES Guava

 ’KORRES brand’s simple philosophy is rooted in the use of natural and / or certified organic ingredients of the highest quality; skin- and environmentally-friendly products with clinically tested efficacy; and products that are affordable for everyday use yet of interesting aesthetics that can ‘inspire & make us happy.’ The first KORRES product is an aromatic herbal syrup with honey and aniseed, a recipe inspired by «rakomelon», a warming spirit-with-honey concoction, which George’s grandfather used to favour in his hometown on the island of Naxos.’

Korres Guava Body Butter

I bought this duo because I love Guava!  It reminds me of my childhood and my hometown in Sarawak, Malaysia.  When I was a kid, my family had a maid.  My memory can recall that we had guava at the swing and waiting my parents to come home.

Guava is an important source of vitamin C, which stimulates collagen synthesis. Shea butter and Quince extract have softening, moisturising and restructuring properties. Sunflower, Almond and Avocado oils nourish the skin, thus restoring its elasticity and smoothness.

imageI use it all over the body especially my elbows, heels and knees.  This body butter is ideal for dry skin, especially it is winter now.  Normally body butter comes in a tub and pretty thick texture but I still prefer in the squeeze out tube so it is clean and not greasy.  It is easy to close after use instead of have to close the tub by turning the cover.

Korres Guava Body Butter is not thick but it is thicker than lotion.  I am very impressed!  I love the smell of it and it is not overpowering.  My husband has a sensitive nose therefore I have to be very careful with the “fragrance” body products. When I first put on the body butter, he loved it.  You smell nice … sniff sniff ~~ LOL Totally satisfied!!

Kores Guava Shower Gel

Korres Guava Shower Gel is a creamy foam shower gel with hydrating ingredients.  These beautifully scented, creamy showergels provide a moisturizing effect and help maintain the natural moisture level of the skin. They contain emollients and humectants that provide a lasting moisturising effect and help to maintain the natural moisture level of the skin.  I am a “bath junkie” and I do spend little longer in the bathroom :) This is my first Korres Shower Gel and I am kind of addicted to it.  It is not only you smell good but the whole bathroom smells terrific with this, and it’s not drying or too strong. Fresh and clean feeling stays with you long after you rinse. I use the body butter after bathing with this. All I can say is Enjoy!
