In my family
Soap, Water and
Lotion are
probably the extent of our skincare routine as we all have normal skin with
minimal imperfections, this might sound great and you are probably already
hating on me for that but when you couple a clear complexion with being
allergic to almost every ingredient on the planet . . . you understand the soap
and water approach.
I am honestly not the biggest skincare
advocate and rarely ever blog or try out skincare brands or products unless I
get introduced to them as I really don’t know that much about them. I just know
what works for me and what breaks me out.
Simple black and white.
The fact that I suffer from so many
allergies also makes it a lot harder for me to try out natural skincare brands
that do not animal test their ingredients in anyway or form as I feel that the
ingredients are much harsher and use a mixture of products I am allergic to so
I end up with an awful rash which takes a minimum of 2-3 weeks to leave.
I was recently introduced to Naked Skin
which is a 97% natural skincare/haircare brand that are 100% transparent about
what ingredients go into their products. If you check out their website they
will tell you that while they use natural extracts like Sunflower, Cocoa Butter
and Argan Oil, and have no toxic parabens and petrochemicals, they are not 100%
natural because they want to ensure that the products you are buying are
preserved properly so you can get your moneys worth without it going off and
separating before you’ve finished using it up. My favourite thing about the
Naked Skin Brand is that they don’t believe in testing their products on ‘Bambi, Lassie or
Skippy’ which is honestly in line with
the Cruelty Free ‘Disneyvore’ stance I am trying to take my blog so I was
really praying that this would work on my skin as I had fallen in love with it
already. I was sent the Naked Skin Perfect Getaway Cream Cleanser and Naked
Skin Thirst Aid (which I will review soon . . . promise)
Naked
Skin’s Perfect Getaway Cream Cleanser is just cocoa-butterynessly
amazing!!!!!!!! I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks now and apart from not
reacting to it ONCE, I actually feel that my skin has improved. During the 2
weeks of use I didn’t use it for about 3 days (on account of not being able to
find it after redecorating my room) and I actually felt that there was a
difference in my skin for not using it, which motivated me to find it again
(found it in the living room . . . don’t ask).
As I
prefer not to wash my face at night (because I’m bone ass lazy) so this is
basically my night time routine now. I use my face wipes, the Naked Skin Cream
Cleanser and finish off with my Mary Kay Botanical Effects Toner but you could
wash your face and then use this cleanser, really it is up to you. I think this makeup cleanser worked for me
because I am a light makeup wearer and I tend to focus more on moisturizing my
skin that anything else but on the occasions when I did wear slightly heavier
makeup, I don’t think this removed the makeup very well so do watch out for
that if you don’t plan to use a toner. For £4.39, I think this is a great soft
and gentle moisturising cleanser for sensitive skins, plus it smells so
good!!!!!
I have a thing for Cocoa butter and shea butter
scented products, what are your favourite skincare scents
