Aloe Herb Facial Cleanser -
50 ml./$24.95
The scent is nice and not too strong which I love. This product is Gluten free and vegan. This cleanser is also pH balanced. I didn't understand what the big deal was about having a pH balanced cleanser until now. Here is the basics in case you don't know already. Basically if a cleanser is to alkaline it will strip essential oils off your skin, and if a cleanser isn't alkaline enough it really won't get your skin clean. With that being said most cleansers, to my surprise, are in fact pH balanced. Interesting and something to keep in mind!
Many cleansers I have tried are either too harsh or don't help to remove make up. This cleanser is gentle yet strong enough to remove dirt, oil, dead skin and even makeup. It washes off easily and really leaves skin fresh, clean and hydrated. I also really like that you don't have to use very much to get a good clean result. The longer it lasts the better, right?
Overall, I was impressed with this cleanser and it is definitely worth a try!
Dead Sea Facial Scrub -
50 ml./$39.95
I love this product! To me, it smells slightly like lavender which is soothing. I used this scrub in the shower as a gentle way to exfoliate. It works great and again isn't too harsh. It feels like it really gave my skin a deep clean leaving behind soft and supple skin. I have never tried a dead sea product before now. After seeing the many benefits first hand, I can understand why products containing dead sea minerals are sought after by so many.
I don't think this is a product I will use everyday. I will likely use it a couple times a week as a special treat for my face!
Repair Serum -
15 ml./$54.95
This serum is high in Vitamin C and has essential oils of lavender and sandlewood. It also has stem cells derived from oranges, and Superoxide dismutase which is an antioxidant. Vitamin C and Superoxide dismutase have been used in skin care products as antioxidants that slow free-radical damage.
This definitely is a favorite product of mine. Due to having sensitive skin, I have used this product mainly on my dark spots. It makes my skin soft and has made a slight difference in my sun spots already. I'm excited to see the difference in my skin with continued and prolonged use of this product.
Herbal Facial Oil -
15 ml./$37.95
This product has great all natural ingredients, is Gluten-free and vegan! It absorbs easily which makes it a versatile moisturizer that can be used both day and night. It is great for people with sensitive skin.
It has a floral scent but is not overwhelming. I have used this product nearly everyday since opening it. It is light, not greasy and best of all has made the red area on my chin not so noticeable. A little goes a long ways which again is great!
Ayurvedic Facial Scrub -
50 ml./$29.95
I was surprised to open this and see that it was a powder. It becomes a paste when you mix it with water. It honestly smells like I'm in the kitchen and not in the shower. That is not a bad thing but it was a surprise to me. It is definitely different that any other scrub I have ever tried on my face.
Now what is ayurvedic? I didn't know the answer to that question, so I did some research. Ayur means life and veda means knowledge. This principle came from India originally and is the belief "that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body and spirit." Me personally, I love that idea!
This facial scrub is gentle but it works great! It applies easily and washes clean. Best of all, it really soothes my trouble areas and leaves my skin looking great!
Neroli Toning Mist -
50 ml./$27.95
I like the smell, it is slightly floral but yet clean. I love the mist, it is light and easy to apply. "Neroli has been used as a mood enhancer to calm the soul and as an aphrodisiac." It soothes and lifts your spirits.
My skin feels nourished. I didn't use a toner much prior to receiving this product and now I know what I was missing. I feel the use of this toner has made my skin look smooth and less red on my nose and chin.
Coconut Body Oil -
100 ml./$29.95
I have always been a huge fan of anything coconut so I absolutely couldn't wait to try this product. The smells is great and it lasts all day. I love that it absorbs well which again makes it versatile for day or night. This product is great to use as a daily moisturizer. It helps relieve dry flaky winter skin and also helps to protect from further damage.
I have not used this product for anything other than a moisturizer but I love the thought of using it as a massage oil. I think it would instill a sense of calm and double as a nourishing massage oil.
If you love coconut products as much as I do, I definitely recommend this product!
Purifying Mud Mask -
50 ml./$39.95
I don't use masks very often. When I think of a mask, I think of a thick heavy paste that dries crusty and is hard to remove. Reluctantly I went ahead and tried this mask anyways. I was surprised that it isn't heavy like I imagined. It smells good which is a nice change. I like that it comes in a powder and you mix it with water to apply. I could feel it tighten as it dried on my skin but it wasn't as hard to remove as I remember other masks being. Once I washed this mask off, my skin felt dry like it had stripped my skin of dirt and dead skin. I will not use this product all the time because it does make my sensitive skin very dry. I will instead use this product occasionally to remove impurities.
