The Tuesday Review: Simple Protecting Moisture Cream



Recently I've started using a new moisturiser and I figured it would be a good idea to share my opinions on it with you. Let me tell you a little story. Simple is a brand that I used when I first begun dabbling my fingers into skincare when I was about 12: I think I owned a travel size bottle of their rich moisturiser, and one of their face washes. However, as I got a bit older and started reading blogs and watching youtube, I became a lot more interested in other brands that seemed to have more to offer from their products, and so I stopped buying things from Simple. A couple of months ago, I decided that I should start using a moisturiser containing SPF to protect my skin from the sun, so I searched the Boots website. This moisturiser by Simple was one of the only budget friendly options with a decent SPF (in this case factor 30) so I thought I may as well try it, and here we are today.

I was initially a bit apprehensive about using this moisturiser, as for the last couple of years I have only used oil-free formulas, however I can safely say that this has never broken me out, nor has it overwhelmed my skin. It leaves my skin really soft but not at all sticky or oily, leaving a good base for me to apply makeup. Although it contains SPF, it doesn't leave a white cast over my skin either. It claims to moisturise and protect the skin and it does just that. Nothing more nothing less. By keeping things simple, the product can work harder at benefiting the skin as much as possible and giving it a good dose of skin loving ingredients.

I would deem this moisturiser to be suitable for all skin types, and would recommend it to everyone as it's important to protect your skin from the sun even from a young age. I also really like that it comes with a pump; in fact the packaging is excellent consdiering the cheap proce of just £4.99. (I actually bought it on half price so it was even less.)

Have you tried anything from Simple? What are your recommendations?
