Chambers & Co. - Skincare Products
I have never been very keen on taking care of myself or my skin. I really don't know why! Maybe because my skin doesn't require much attention or maybe because I was too lazy or maybe because nobody explained me about the beauty and skincare related products and things. Enough of my maybes'.
Previously, the only two things that I have been using were my face wash and a moisturiser. That's all. It's in the recent few weeks that I have really started taking some interest in skin care and makeup after watching a gazillion videos of the beauty bloggers and make up artists on YouTube. I have now starting to feel that I should also own at least 5% of the beauty products available in the market.
I am nowadays trying out some skincare products so you'll get to read some reviews and beauty and skincare tips I have learnt, in the coming weeks.
Chambers & Co. has been kind enough to send some of the products from their range which I have personally tried and the best thing about these products is that they are all developed with natural ingredients. This means that they are not harmful to the skin so you must give it a try!
I'm sure you must have heard of Argan which is a very popular term in the beauty world nowadays. This Argan and Squalane face and neck cream (£14) is unscented and contains aloe vera so it can be used to keep your face moisturised all day. The cream has a smooth texture, is light weight and doesn't make the face or neck sticky because it quickly absorbs through the skin without any irritation. I personally prefer pump bottles that dispense the product compared to those that have lids. That's because it keeps the rest of the product free from germs. Squalane prevents moisture loss and argan softens and hydrates the skin, keeping my skin moisturized all day without making it feel or look sticky.
I feel it's very nice to keep the skin healthy and away from dryness.

I also tried the Chambers & Co. balm for active hands and feet (£8 each). I was really interested in this one because being a mom, I need to be active all day and I also have this habit of washing my hands a lot! The water in my area is very hard and we do not yet have a filter that covers the entire house so it sometimes makes my hands dry especially after cleaning the kitchen using the strong dirt and limescale cleaning agents.
Again, these two products also contain natural ingredients. The hand balm smells of lemon and the feet balm smells of turmeric to me. Aloe vera has always been considered a very effective ingredient for the skin because it works wonders and the hand balm has that ingredient too.
Now since the winter is approaching, it may also result in increased dryness so these two products would be really handy for me during those days too. Since these are balms, I would recommend using only a little as that would be enough to cater to the need and won't leave the hands and feet feel sticky.
The Arnica Comfrey Calendula soothing balm (£8) contains peppermint, eucalyptus and essential oils that are meant to work well for muscles and joints. Use it after any kind of physical exertion 3-4 times a day. It is an oil-based balm but absorbs quickly on the skin. Arnica is known as a popular remedy used in the traditional days for the purpose of relieving bruises, sprains, swelling or pain in back or joints.
The balm to me, smells like mint toffees, and not at all like any medicine. YUM!
Almost every house nowadays has leather furniture or products and even clothing. Chambers & Co. also has a range of leather cleaning products. The leather balsam (£12) has been developed to polish and protect the leather and it's nice vanilla smelling so it leaves the sofa (in my case) smelling lovely while the foaming cleaner (£10) is perfect for cleaning any kind of dirt or stains on the leather products.
I have personally tried these two leather cleaning products on my sofa and they worked really well. Took me an hour to thoroughly clean the sofa but the results were amazing. After vacuuming it thoroughly, I cleaned every inch of it with the Chamber's foaming cleaner using a sponge. Once it was all clean, I polished it with the balsam which further enhanced the look of my sofa, making it look as good as new, left a lovely shine on it and smelled of mild vanilla. These two products work just like a shampoo and conditioner that we use on our hair and I am sure my sofa must be feeling the same like I feel when I use those hair products. Also, the foaming cleaner is not harsh like the other cleaning products are, and it didn't make my hands rough, unlike the feel I get, every time I clean my kitchen with the strong sprays.

Besides these products, they also have a pet care range, you might be interested in, in case you have a dog. You can check out the product range of Chambers & Co. here.

My favorite skincare product is an Apple Cider Face Scrub by Freeman Masks
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of good things about apple cider and its benefits. It's a great toner too!
DeleteI can relate to this post ever since becoming a mom I wash my hands so many times after nappy changes, cleaning dishes, etc which leaves them super dry I'll have to try the Chamber balm for active hands after reading your review Fa xx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! But I think I wash my hands too much. Really!
DeleteI can so relate. I just use a face wash and that's it. I keep buying products and then forget to use them!!!
ReplyDeleteNot heard of this brand before...may have to try this one out too
Cleansing in the morning and night really helps in keeping the skin clear. I am using the cleansing milk Clarins and I really like it. Also started using a toner by the same brand but I just use it in the morning. I can feel a difference. It's hardly been a week.
Deleteohh I'm all for natural ingredients in products lately, especially because my skin has been getting really bad. The face and neck cream looks reallyyy good. I'd love to try that out.
ReplyDeleteNature ingredients are always the best! :-)
DeleteThese products are looking good.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by!
DeleteI have used their face and neck cream! Its amazing! I love how the neck is included as well! The neck shows your real age! and most of the products are usually just for face and I always forget to apply a bit on my neck as well!
ReplyDeleteThat's so right and the best part is that it doesn't even feel sticky after it's applied.
DeleteI rarely use anything for my skin....mostly because of the smell/fragrance....as I don't like many of the fragrances in the creams....that soothing balm is catching my attention...Beautifully written review....
ReplyDeleteNowadays the brands have also launched fragrant free products. Explore them :-)
DeleteI have not heard of these products before!!! These sound amazing for skin care, I need to see if I can find them!
ReplyDeleteThey're available in the UK. Where are you based?
DeleteI use arnica myself because my joints and back is in pain a lot. I like the sound of chambers skincare.
ReplyDeleteArnica is really good for healing purposes.
DeleteI can relate on the dry skin bit so maybe I'll check that out. I typically just suffer through winter but getting older has me thinking more carefully about that!
ReplyDeleteEven I feel my skin becomes dry in the winters.
DeleteThese products look great but I've never used them before! I like to discover new brands.
ReplyDeleteCheck them out! :-)
DeleteChambers skincare looks good. I love all the natural ingredients used in them.I'm especially loving the hand and foot cream.
ReplyDeleteYes, even I like the fact that they've used natural ingredients.
DeleteHaha totally agree with you about feeling like you should own 5% of all beauty products... there's so many to choose from. These look good though - if I ever get a leather sofa I'll have to check these products out.

Absolutely! There's so much choice 😊
DeleteI've never seen any of these beauty products! They look really moisturizing...My skin can get very dry in the winter. I need a really good moisturizer...
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteI never use these products before. But they are looking good. I want to take a trial of this moisturiser. Actually I am using dermology skin care products and they are really very effective.
