KIKO: Light Legs Crackling Mousse & Firming Iridescent Cream


KIKO Light Legs Crackling Mousse* | Firming Iridescent Cream*

These products have been released just in time for summer but certain people could really benefit from using the Light Legs Crackling Mousse all year round. As I've mentioned before, I'm a hairdresser by trade and even though I love everything to do with working in a salon (especially the craic between everyone including clients) we spend most, if not all day on our feet which leads to back pain and tired/achy/heavy legs and feet. Back in the day I found a similar product that was sadly discontinued a long time ago but it was more or less the same: it crackled and cooled on contact with the skin but wasn't a mousse. When I received the press release for KIKO's offering I got so excited! I've spent the longest time trying to find another product like this and finally it's here!

KIKO Light Legs Crackling Mousse looks exactly the same as a mousse you would use on your hair but it's light, fluffy, non sticky and sinks into the skin leaving no residue behind. It crackles on the skin (the only way I can describe it is as a fizzy feeling) leaving legs and feet feeling instantly refreshed. The scent is gorgeous! When a product claims to soothe and stimulate microcirculation I always assume the scent will be a minty one but Light Legs Crackling Mousse is a light, fresh floral that lingers on the skin for hours.

Active ingredients include Escine: Draining and vasoprotective. Blueberry: Vasotonic and protective. Liquorice: Vasotonic and protective.

Even the colour of the bottle has been chosen for a reason. ''Purple: has positive and mental spiritual benefits, aiding concentration and helping to relax at the same time. Encourages calm and helps restore lightness.''

Light Legs Crackling Mousse is also a fantastic product to keep beside your bed if you suffer from restless legs. In this weather my legs go crazy at night and this has really helped.

The Firming Iridescent Cream is a lovely product too. It changes from a cream to thin fluid once you start massaging it into the skin. Just like the mousse, it is part of the Scented Technology range and smells wonderful. The texture is rich enough to really moisturise but not heavy enough to make the skin feel weighed down in this hot weather. It claims to not only nourish the skin but leave it feeling firmer and more subtle. If you're someone who really likes firming body creams but hate the horrendous price tags then this is a good option at only £12.90.

Both products are paraben free and if you have legs, you need the Light Legs Crackling Mousse.

Have you tried these products or anything similar?
