Beauty Tried And Tested

Illawarra Mercury

Greece's leading natural products company Apivita is making an impact in Australia with their range of hair, skin and wellness products.

Founded in 1979, the company uses propolis, honey and beeswax in many of its lines including the Apivita propoline and express.

The express range is made up of personal creams and masks that use fruit and vegetable extracts to provide a quirky addition to your skincare routine.

The collection includes the facial day cream with tomato (SPF 10), the facial night cream with brown rice, the deep face scrub with olive and eye zone mask with ginkgo biloba.

Taste put Apivita's facial night cream with carrot and facial day cream with tomato to the test with pleasing results.

The products both had pleasant scents and absorbed easily into the skin. After application the skin felt and looked clean, fresh and moisturised.

The fact the little jars can be stacked on top of one another is an added bonus in a day when the dressing table can become crowded with skin care products.

The Apivita Express range of jars are priced from $19.90. For stockists contact www.apivita.com.au.
