Over the
past few months I have been trialling a number of different skin care products in
the hope of finding a routine I love. I have found over the past few years of
dealing with breakouts and hormonal teenage skin that natural products work
heaps better for my skin. My latest routine includes products from the brands
Sukin and Lush. I love that both these brands are vegan and natural. They both
aim to keep our bodies and environment healthy.
Brand: Sukin
Super
Greens Detoxifying Facial Scrub
I love that
this face wash is gentle on my skin, but it has a big impact on my complexion
and appearance. This gentle wash contains spirulina and parsley to not only
brighten the complexion, but improve the texture of the skin. Jojoba beads and
bamboo gently exfoliate and polish the skin. It also contains pineapple and
liquorice root extracts to to help balance oils and tone the skin.
Oil
Balancing Pore Refining Facial Scrub
I will
alternate between using this scrub and the one above, however, tend to use this
one more when my face is feeling greasy and pores are clogged. Jojoba beads and
bamboo charcoal gently polish the skin, keeping pores clear of impurities. The
charcoal removes excess oils and toxins, aiding in balancing the complexion.
Willowherb, rooibos tea and coconut oil soothe and hydrate the skin.
Hydrating
Mist Toner
This
alcohol-free toner uses rosewater and chamomile to soothe and purify the skin.
I use this after cleansing, before moisturising. And often before applying
makeup too. It instantly refreshes and cools my skin. Perfect for when my skin
is feeling dry, stressed or overheated.
Restoring
Argan Oil +
This oil
presents rich antioxidants, vitamins and essential fatty acids to nourish the
skin. Argan, rosehip, maracuja, jojoba, sunflower and wheat germ oils really
help to moisturise the skin. This oil also helps to reduce the signs of aging
and improve skin texture. I like to apply this before bed so that it can sink
into my skin overnight.
Oil
Balancing Anti-Pollution Facial Masque
I will
usually use this mask about once a week to help cleanse and clear out my pores.
After using this my face feels firm, clean, healthy and glowing. It contains
Bamboo charcoal which assists in the absorbtion of impurities and toxins to
deeply cleanse the skin. Rooibos tea, aloe vera and willowherb revitalise and
refresh blemish prone skin. Bilberry, quince and pomegranate extracts aid in tightening
pores and leaving a balanced complexion. Avocado, coconut and rosehip oils
leave the skin feeling moisturised and nourished.
Brand: Lush
Oatifix
Face Mask
I also use
this mask about once a week, but will use it more frequently if my skin is
particularly dehydrated. This nourishing mask is made with fresh bananas and
illipe butter to moisturise dry skin. Oatmeal, ground almonds and kaolin mildly
exfoliate, leaving the face soft, supple and moisturised.
Brand: Olay
Olay
Moisturising Cream
If my skin
is feeling very dry and dehydrated and I need something that packs a bit more
moisture, I will reach for this moisturiser by Olay. It is said to provide
nourishment for up to 12 hours and improves smoothness to promote youthful
looking skin. I can put this on before bed and notice a positive difference in
my skin by the morning.
Hope these
recommendations can help you in finding some great skin care products.
