Natural Skincare That Rocks

Skincare Review!

http://www.7skins.com.au

It is no secret that I have acne prone skin. Getting my first zit when I was eleven is still clearly

imprinted in my mind. I suffered pretty awful skin all throughout my teens and even into my early

20's. I am so happy my skin has calmed itself down over the past ten or so years as I have learnt how

to care for my skin, tried a billion different products and acne fighting remedies and perfected a

routine twice daily skincare routine for myself which just comes naturally to me now and is actually

a ritual I look forward to and enjoy, especially at the end of a long day! It is nice and relaxing to

spend some quite, quality 'me' time!

Throughout my teen years I wasn't very educated in terms of skincare products and I remember just

having Saperderm soap in the bathroom which was my face wash. Thinking back I cringe at the

thought of using a cake of soap to wash my face with! Majorly oil stripping, it is no wonder my skin

went into sebum reproduction overdrive!

Lucky of teens now a days there are some fantastic Aussie brands helping us out with products

designed especially just for acne sufferers and adults alike as I have found 7 Skins to be a fantastic

and effective brand with their range of products for my 'normal' adult skin which if you watch my

Youtube videos you will probably notice still gets the odd zit pop up every now and then.

Organic Fab Face Detox Tea
Ever since my professional teeth whitening experience I have been trying not to drink so much
coffee so have been working through not only my variant random flavoured tea but also this 100%
certified organic, Aussie made and owned detox tea to help to cleanse my body both inside and out.

With a refreshing blend of ingredients including - burdock, dandelion root, liquorice, nettle leaf, St
Mary's thistle, lemon peel, lemon verbena, red clover, calendula petals & rhubarb root, the flavour is
unique and easy to drink. It is recommended to try 2-3 cups per day, however I have been trying 1-2
and finding my body responding well in the detoxing and appearance of my skin whilst using the
other complimenting products from the 7 Skins Youth range.

4 Week Supply! (2 Cups Per Day) $18.95 (60gms)

Fab Face Mist in Lavender

Over since I first tried using a face mist, I cannot tell you just how much I love and enjoy them!

Particularly during Summer when it gets insanely humid, having a refreshing, cooling facial mist on

hand to cool you down and refresh the skin is addictive!

Facial mists not only hydrate your skin. This blend of lavender, augustifolia, distillate and grapefruit

seed extract also tones, cleansers, controls oiliness, helps to heal acne and keeps your skin's natural

ph balance in check! Additionally with it's antibacterial and antiseptic properties, this facial mist also

reduces redness, skin irritations, soothes sunburn and can be used on minor grazes and burns to calm

the skin. Trust me, this all rounder is a must have for both your skincare routine and first aid kit, I

have been using it like crazy over the past couple of months. And because it is all natural and does

not contain any nasty chemical ingredients I can safely use it on my kids. Bonus!

Also available in Rose, Orange Blossom & Chamomile! $15.95 (150ml)

Zappin Zeolite Acne Mask
I haven't had much experience when it comes to using powdered facial masks before, however this
has been fun to use and being a loose powder, this ensures the ingredients stay fresher, longer!

This mask can be used as both a deep cleansing facial mask or as an exfoliant which is highly
effective when used several times per week whilst experiencing a break out. You can mix some of
the formula with water or if you want to pack even more goodness into your skin, the 7 Skins Youth
facial mists can be spritzed into a moist paste and then applied to the skin.

Ingredients include - Organic Australian zeolite & french green clay.
It is recommended to mix your mask into a plastic bowl using a non metal spoon as the clay will
absorb the metal and therefore not be as effective. (Weird fact!)

I found the mask to dry completely after around ten minutes and once rinsed away my skin felt
amazing and looked renewed, fresher and you could really see how deeply it cleaned out my pores!
Loved seeing them so clear and free of dirt and the dead skin build up completely gone!

Available online now directly to purchase from the 7 Skins Youth website. $15.95 (100gms)

Fab Face Acne Serum

This might be a little 15ml bottle, but boy does it pack a powerful acne fighting punch!

With soothing, healing, cleansing, antibacterial, antiseptic (to name just a few!) ingredients

including - grape seed oil, organic black cumin seed oil, watermelon seed oil, lavender essential oil,

sandalwood essential oil, myrtle essential oil, pachouli essential oil & geranium essential oil.

This acne fighting serum can be used to cleanse, hydrate and even fade scaring. I love that this serum

not only fights my occasional spot, it also heals my skin and fades some of the acne scaring that I

have from my teen years.

100% Natural & Suitable for both men & women! Does not dry out the skin! $18.95 (15ml)

NATURAL SOAP

~ HARVEST GARDEN ~

Cold Pressed Soaps!

http://www.theharvestgarden.com.au

Honey & Oatmeal
Out of all of these four soaps I have been using from Harvest Garden I am beginning with this one
here because it just happens to be my fav. I have always been a massive fan of honey scented
products and I am particularly fond of using soaps which contain them for not only the gorgeous
smell but also all of the amazing benefits it provides to your skin including, moisturising, healing,
calming and even reducing pore size! (Yes please!). The added oatmeal in this soap gently exfoliates
the skin, together with the honey this simple, effective duo is so effective yet still so gentle it is even
suitable for use on both babies and older skin types. Can be used both as a body and/or facial cleanser.

Ingredients include - Sweet Almond Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Coconut Oil,
Beeswax, Lye, Ground Oatmeal & Honey. All 100% Natural and NO PALM OIL! 130gm - $7.00

Lavender with Washed Australian Blue Clay
Even though Lavender has never been my first choice of fragrance, I cannot deny the absolute
beneficial gifts the scent of Lavender gives to my overall wellbeing and state of mind.
Not a topic I like to openly share and delve into being that I try really hard to keep on the positive
and optimistic side of life, I do however suffer like most from stress and anxiety every single day so
to indulge in a beautiful Aussie luxe cold pressed soap like this one containing the very ingredient
which helps to ease these feelings is one I have leaned to appreciate and embrace. FYI - Lavender is
also great for sufferers of depression, insomnia, headaches, digestive issues and skin problems such
as inflammation.

Ingredients include -Sweet Almond Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Coconut
Oil, Washed Australian Blue Clay & Lavender Essential Oils. 130gm - $7.00

Lemongrass Olive Leaf Extract & Ground Flaxseed with Turmeric
This is a soap both the hubby and I have been sharing as it contains ingredients which benefit us both
in different ways. He loves the scent of Lemongrass, however I am more impressed by it's skin and
muscle toning abilities. I don't exactly have the time to take to go the the gym or exercise, so I am
more than happy to have a little helping hand to make my skin more toned by nature and by doing
it my way. i.e Taking a shower, rather than hitting the gym. :)

My husband suffers from quite a bit of muscular pain and the Lemongrass in this soap has been great
at easing a bit of the pain. That together with the Olive Leaf Extract, Ground Flaxseed & Turmeric
which also have a ton of great skin and body benefits including cellular regeneration, anti-inflamitary,
and healing properties. The aroma this soap also gives is absolutely divine and fills my whole bathroom with a magical relaxing scent. 130gm - $7.00

Rose Geranium, Patchouli & Lavender with Australian Red Clay
I can honestly not recommend checking out these Harvest Garden soaps enough. Really, there is
a soap (or several in my case) to suit everyone and their skin type, concerns and needs. I have found
great benefits in all four I have been using here and I love the thought of my soap not just cleansing
my body but also doing a number of other things which are helpful, nourishing and healthy for my
body. This particular blend of Rose Geranium Patchouli, Lavender, Australian Red Clay, Sweet
Almond Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Coconut Oil, Lye & Beeswax also smalls
so incredibly pretty, lathers up beautifully and has a calming, relaxing and uplifting effect from the
Rose Geranium and Lavender as well as aiding in skin renewal and healing bruises, burns, sunburnt
skin, varicose veins (god I hate those things, got loads of those), broken capillaries, stretch marks,
rosacea and even those who have had chemo-therapy, the Australian Red Clay is said to be rich in
iron and essential minerals which have been used for centuries to aid in regenerating new and healthy
skin! Amazing, I am so glad to have learnt and benefited so much from this simple, complex soap!

Highly recommended! Might be a good idea to check out the whole range and make a list for loved
ones for Christmas gifts since the season seems to be creeping up on us again so quickly! You're
sure to find something special and for the bargain price, these are definitely worth it! 130gm - $7.00
