Let’s face it, what your put on your skin during the day is as important as what you apply at nighttime. From hydrators boost, retain moisture and potent anti-agers such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and C protection. Each day offers something new, as the next “answer to our skincare prayers” is introduced to the market. We all know how challenging it is to find the right skincare. Now more than ever, we are aware of what we put on our skins. But with so much information and brands to choose from, where do we even start?
In this time when we question our use (& misuse) of natural resources and the effect we have on the earth, there’s a lot to take into account. It is no wonder that natural ingredients and organic based skincare brands are the new must-haves. The question is: which ingredients will work for me, people with my skin challenges and keep me feeling good about my choices. Happily for us pro earth and lovers of great skin, there are real options out there.
I have read reviews, tried out different skincare products and asked my friends, family and colleagues which skincare brand works the best for them? After this research, I have a lot of information & advice and no real front runner. Now, my goal is to find a honest and affordable product line with just the right extra ingredient for my skin. Thank heavens for skincare advent calendars and mini sets, these give us the chance to try before you buy and don’t break the bank.
To date, I still don’t know what and which ‘’good for you’’ brand or ingredient will make the difference and my opinions aren’t always shared. I can only conclude, that in the the best “can’t see the forest for the trees” tradition, you need to listen to your own inner voice and look at the effect a product has on your skin. Results count.
If the environment is important to you, if knowing what the ingredients are and where they come from is a pre, the market is somewhat less daunting. I have decided to take this road, over the next few months I’ll review my options for skincare. For now let’s look at my current number one brand of facial products.
After testing Dr. Hauschka products and choosing my favourites over the last few months, I can honestly say these are personally the ones for me. A 100% YES and FINALLY-moment! Dr. Hauschka is a comprehensive clean and natural cosmetic product line for your skin and body. Lets take a closer look ..
Dr. Hauschka Facial Cleansing Crème. There is no better feeling than washing off your make-up at the end of the day. This wash and go treatment hydrates whilst removing the daytime impurities. After cleansing – your skin feels softer, plumper and more radiant. This cleanser is free from fragrances, dyes, preservatives and, as with all this brands products, no animal testing is involved.
Dr. Hauschka Facial Toner. This facial toner is very refreshing, it’s a kind of mist which gives you a boost in the morning. When you use it on your skin, wait a few seconds and use both of your hands to press it naturally in. The warmth of your hands will help with the circulation.
Dr. Hauschka Kweepeercrème. This moisturizer adds hydration without leaving a white scheen or greasy residue. With ingredients like quince, jojoba, apricot and avocado it will strengthens and protect your skin from the outside. When you apply this lovely yellow product with a fresh orange/lemon smell, which I personally love, it brings back memories of that warm summer feeling. The result is hydrated, toned skin with a radiant healthy touch.
Dr. Hauschka Daily Hydrating Eye Cream. The skin around your eyes has no natural oils and is up to five times thinner than the skin on your cheeks. So when it comes to taking care of it, the right product is everything. A great eye cream isn’t going to reverse fine lines or wrinkles but it will nourish and hydrate. This is an everyday cream for morning/evening and it’s great to mix it with your concealer. It leaves everything looking naturally fresh and glowing.
Dr. Hauschka Night Serum. Serums are your skins greatest asset. From speeding up the metabolic function of cells, to energising the skin tone. This serum is a super light, non-greasy formula that feels like it is thightening up your skin. In the evening it will calm and reduce redness. In the morning, your skin will feel well-rested and ready for a new beautiful day.
This is my first skincare product review, I hope one of many. As a positive thinker, I find is it more fun to share the plus rather than the min. I have tried many beauty product lines and found some wanting. I have read about the more chemical based products and seen both good and less inspiring results. I have used various brands and some I have been really happy with the effects.
As I get more knowledge (I’m 25 years old) and more opinions, I endeavour to try to take a more environmentally and healthy road. It’s not always easy, slowly but surely companies are realising that products (skincare, clothing, lifestyle, food etc...) need to answer new questions and meet new standards. Customers require more information and demand that more thought goes into the development, production (by products/workers) and composition of end products.
