In case you have been battling rough elbows as I was, this might be the next big things for you. Oh, soft feet are also guaranteed but those elbows… Those elbows are baby soft now. Mixa Rough Areas Repairing Surgras – you're one big surprise! Not sure about you but when the Mixa brand arrived I never felt the urge to purchase half the shelf as I felt the impulse to completely sweep my pharmacy when Bioderma came over. I have no idea whether it was the humble packaging, the visual impression a bunch of Mixa products stacked on one place left on me – I simply wasn't interested in checking it out. In the meanwhile, I've been trying to resolve my blackened, rough left elbow situation. It's the most peculiar thing and I will spare you the gruesome details – long story short, my right elbow is perfectly peachy whilst the left one looks horrid. It's dark and rough beyond belief. It could be that I'm leaning too much on it but still…This skin atrocity seemed to be even more bothersome as warmer days came. How on Earth can I wear short sleeved anything? I've tried everything and would do anything to get rid of the rough skin – I could even handle a somewhat darker skin (hello lemons) but the roughness was driving me nuts.
Ukoliko imate problema sa grubim laktovima, poput mene, ovo bi za vas mogla biti izuzetno interesantna stvarcica. I da, mekana stopala bi bila “kolateral” kod koristenja ove kreme no, ti laktovi…Laktovi postaju mekani i glatki poput svile. Mixa Obnavljajuca njega za suha podrucja – kremice, pa ti si jedno veliko iznenadjenje! Ne znam kako ste vi reagovale kada nam je Mixa kao brend stigla no ja jednostavno nisam osjetila zelju da ubacim stvari sa police u kosaricu kao kada sam osjetila zelju da omamim apotekarku i ponesem sve Biodermine stvarcice sa sobom kada su nam se pojavile u apotekama. Mozda mi jednostavno skromno pakovanje proizvoda ovog brenda nije primamljivo – naprosto nisam bila zainteresovana za Mixu kada nam je bila svjezi novitet. U medjuvremenu sam pokusavala da rijesim problem ogrubjelog i potamnjelog lijevog lakta. To mi je potpuno cudna stvar posto je lakat desne ruke lijep (koliko to lakat moze biti) dok je lijevi u strasnom stanju. Postediti cu vas neprijatnih detalja no zaista nisam sretna sa njegovim stanjem. Moze biti da je postao takav jer se stalno naslanjam na njega no ipak… Posebno mi je misao na njega postajala neugodna otkako su nam stigli topliji dani. Nosenje kratkih rukava mi je pocelo izazivati paniku. Mogla bih se izboriti i sa tamnijom kozom (uz pomoc limuncica) no, tek nakon sto se rijesim ogrubjele koze.
All in all, I was passing by the Mixa shelf and I've grabbed this Rough Areas Repairing Surgras. Ingredients list looks good (no paraffin as in other Mixa body products), it contains 40% glycerine and there's oat milk in the mix, along with sea butter. And it costs approx $5 which is really affordable for a 100ml tube of such content. It's free from parabens and alcohol and if you do spy a “cetearyl alcohol” in there, don't worry – it's a fatty alcohol predominantly found in plants, such as Coconut and Palm oils. It isn't toxic and it's there as a stabilizer and a thickener of the cream's texture. This repairing cream is actually really thick. I always have to put in extra effort to squeeze it out but it's totally worth it. It has the texture of a gel and a cream and it smells exactly like Avene Gentle Purifying Scrub – fresh, sweet and a typical pharmaceutical smell. It gets distributed and massaged in beautifully as it melts in touch with warm fingers and skin. It smoothes and softens skin beautifully and even though my elbow is still dark, it's smooth as a baby's bottom now. The point id that the softness of the skin sticks around even if you're not diligent with applying – perfect for sloths such as myself. The results come really quickly and I've tried this surgras on my feet as well – things are proper peachy soft all over!
Sve u svemu, jednog dana sam prolazila pored Mixa police u dm-u i zgrabila sam tubu njihove obnavljajuce kremice za suhu kozu. Sastav mi ne izgleda previse strasno, posebno zato sto ne sadrzi paraffin koji je prisutan u mnogim Mixa mazalicama za tijelo. Sadrzi 40% glicerina, sadrzi i zobeno mlijeko kao i karite puter. Kosta samo cca 7KM sto je prilicno povoljna cijena za tubu od 100ml, ovako solidnog sadrzaja. Krema ne sadrzi parabene niti alkohol tako da, ukoliko vase oko spazi “cetearyl alcohol”- ne brinite, to je masni alkohol koji se dobija iz biljaka poput kokosovog i palminog ulja. Nije opasan te je njegova uloga stabilizatora i zgusnjivaca u kremama. I zaista, Mixa krema je dosta gusta. Uvijek moram da upregnem dodatnu snagu kako bih istisnula kremu iz tube no, trud je itekako vrijedan. Tekstura ove obnavljajuce kreme je dosta gelasta i mirise mi identicno kao Avene njezni prociscujuci piling – svjeze, slatko i uz karakteristicni apotekarski stih. Lijepo se razmazuje i umasira u kozu jer se malo rastopi u dodiru sa toplom kozom i prsticima. Prekrasno zagladi kozu i omeksa je te iako je lijevi lakat jos uvijek tamniji od ostatka koze, barem je mekan poput bebine guze. Poenta je sto mekoca koze ostaje i ako neredovno mazete problematicno mjesto – savrseno za lijenivice poput mene. Rezultati su po koristenju jako brzo primjetni a takodjer sam mazalicu isprobala i na stopalima – nemam primjedbi, savrseno su meka!
