I heard about this product many years ago, probably over 10 years ago now, but it was never available for purchase within the UK so I didn't get a chance to try it out. September 2015 I was flying with British Airways and in their shop I saw the product and just had to try it after all those years. I didn't  know what to expect from it but people had been raving about it for years so it must of been good. I've been using it every day since September and am already onto my second tub!

Egyptian magic cream is essentially a combination of different natural ingredients including, olive oil, honey, royal jelly and a few other ingredients. It is a multipurpose product with the reputation of healing skin irritations, easing acne and many other things and can be even used on men as after shave.

Within the beauty industry the product has been endorsed by many well known celebrities such as Victoria's Secret Angel Adriana Lima, Kate Hudson, Rachel Zoe, Cara Delevigne. Many many makeup artists have this product as must have in their makeup bags. 

My experience with Egyptian Magic Cream has also been a pleasant one; it certainly leaves my skin feeling nourished and moisturised in the morning as I tend to mainly slather this on my face of a night. What I love about this product is how I don't need to be cautious of it going around the eye area as it is gentle enough and if you want it could perhaps double up as an eye cream. However, I would recommend something richer as an eye cream (Kiehl's Creamy Avocado Eye Cream is my ultimate favourite). The consistency of the product is that of coconut oil, it's hard in the tub but starts to melt into an oil when is heated up between your hands. It doesn't smell too strong in the tub and there is basically no scent when its on your skin whatsoever so for those who dislike heavily scented products this would be right up your street. 

There isn't a specific skin type that would benefit from this product as everyone would; its gentle enough to be used on baby skin and effective enough to moisturise mature skin too. I have gotten my own family members to love the product; the men use it after shaving as it soothes and moisturises the skin, and with the cold weather it reduces the chances of the shaved area becoming irritated. My sister also loves the product and has stocked up on it, she uses it in similar ways to me. 

It's always good to be cautious of over hyped products however, this product is one that has had consistent positive feedback for many years and after trying the product it isn't hard to see why. I can see Egyptian Magic Cream being a staple product in my skincare routine for many years to come. Its affordable when compared to other moisturisers on the market but slightly pricier than a drugstore/high street product. It can be picked up from Boots in the UK and many online companies are also supplying it to, the average price I believe is around £30. 

If you buy just one product for this month I strongly recommend that you try this product as it works wonders on dry skin especially during this bitter english weather. The hype surrounding Egyptian Magic Cream is certainly worth it!
