Nyakio Firming Face Gel Cream & Firming Eye Balm

High in antioxidants, Baobab oil takes center stage in  two new products from Nyakio. Firming Face Gel Cream and Firming Eye Balm a help skin to retain elasticity as well as firm things up.

The eye balm is  rich feeling cream but doesn't go on heavy or greasy. It adds lots of moisture with a slight firming feel.  While the moisture helps fine lines, the cream also works on circles and puffiness. It can be used day or night as it will work under makeup.

Eye Balm

The Firming Face Gel Cream is a thick cream but as with the eye balm is not greasy or too heavy. It is a great find for drier skins and works on normal skin as well. I can see it being especially lovely when the cold weather kicks in. It does  firm up skin a bit, you get that tightening feeling as well as being hydrated. 

Nyakio Firming Face Gel Cream is $55
Nyakio Firming Eye Balm is $ 45

Nyakio Hydrating Lip Balm

  It might not be cold out ( yet) but there's always room for a new lip balm , right?  I'm not the only stockpiler surely.

This new one from Nyakio is super hydrating.  Nyakio, the brand is a new one , founded by Nyakio Kamoche Grieco  and inspired by the African beauty traditions of her family heritage.

Kola Nut is a key ingredient and sourced here from Africa's Ivory Coast. She also uses Marula Oil, Trichilia Oil, Chamomile Oil and Ximenia Oil throughout the line which has skin care as well as this lip balm.  You'll see Marula and Honey listed in the ingredients here .

The balm itself is clear, with a little shine on lips.  It's thick and creates a good barrier on lips which will work well against wind and cold.

The lip balm is also highly fragranced.  It's not quite like coffee, much sweeter . The kola nut gives a sweet but slightly nutty  fragrance to it.  A nice warm you up,  fall into winter balm.


Nyakio Hydrating Lip Balm is $ 20 and available at www.HSN.com and at www.nyakio.com
