Wash Off Facial Cleanser!
http://www.humanandkind.com

I have suffered from acne prone skin ever since I was 11. I am 31 now and even though my skin has

calmed down considerably, a few weeks ago my skin went on a moody tyrant with bumps and spots

popping up on my cheeks, around my nose and on my chin. :( I put it down to the drastic change in

weather and my body suffering from some kind of bug at the time. Those combined, my skin cracked

it!

Once I was feeling better, I decided to switch cleansers to see if it would help clear up my skin plus

how fun is it to try something new and as pretty, bright and happy looking as this product's packaging?

This Human + Kind Wash Off Facial Cleanser is unique in the fact that is comes with it's very own 

wash cloth which you use when cleansing your face to help gently exfoliate the skin as it gently

cleanses. The cloth is re-usable and can be machine washed so totally hygienic as well.

I usually remove my make-up before cleansing, however to test out this new product to and see just

how great it really is, I left my make-up on and used it that way as it says it removes all traces of dirt

and make-up! It really does! My skin looks so so clean afterwards but doesn't feel like I've stripped it

of it's natural oils. My skin is still soft and feels much smoother from the cloth removing the dead

skin cells built up throughout the day and it actually cleared up my break out completely after about 

a week!

No Chemicals

No Colourants

No Parabens

No Additives

Everyone including myself seem to be becoming much more aware about what our skincare and

body products are made out of and how they effect out bodies not only on the outside but also the 

inside as well as the environment. 

Human + Kind products tick all the right boxes with their ingredients being natural and their

packaging recyclable, I am impressed and completely sold!

Active ingredients found in this cleanser include -

Organic Sunflower Oil

Organic Jojoba Oil

Cold Pressed Wheat Germ Oil

Natural Vitamin E

Arnica Oil

Suitable for even highly sensitive skin types. There is barely a scent to this product and I just love

Jojoba Oil which you can read all about my full review on that here as the benefits of it are endless!

SWATCH!

Human + Kind Wash Off Facial Cleanser is currently available to purchase both in store or online 

here in Australia from Target for RRP $24.95 or David Jones for RRP $11.99!

2015 SKINCARE ROUTINE

~ New Year ~

New Skincare Routine! 

http://www.paulaschoice.com.au

Paula's Choice

RESIST Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser

Cleanser for Normal/Oily/Combination Skin!

RRP: $30.00 (190ml)

---------------------------------------------------

To begin with I will just let your know straight off the bat one of the most convenient aspects

of this product which I enjoyed the most and that is that this Foaming Cleanser not only

cleanses your skin without stripping it of it's natural oils and pH balance, it also removes makeup!

I usually remove my makeup before cleansing, however with this product I get to skin a step and

save a bit of time, oh so precious time! :) (Where does it all go anyway?!)

This generous size pump bottle contains a creamy, white liquid which quickly lathers into a

non scented foam when applied to your face which should be dampened with luke warm water

prior to activate the product and open up the pores for best results whilst cleansing.

I found this product very easy to use and very effective when followed up with the Pore-

Refining Treatment and Daily Mattifying Fluid.

My skin has remained clear and looking smoother, more radiant and a whole lot less tired than

it really is! 

Paula's Choice 

RESIST Daily Pore-Refining Treatment

2% BHA

Exfoliant for Normal/Oily/Combination Skin!

RRP: $38.00 (88ml)

---------------------------------------------------

This is a very interesting exfoliating product because not only do you use it more like you would

a toner. It also does not contain any kind of visible exfoliant beads or scrub!

I have always struggled with the size of the pores on my face and have tried many products promising to diminish them. Some have worked well while many haven't. This product actually does

wonders for reducing and tightening my pores, plus it also aids in the anti-ageing aspect of my skin

as well as making the whole surface feel smoother and look youthful again!

I am amazed that such a strong working product as this is actually fragrance free!

Paula's Choice products also do not believe in animal testing which I am more than happy to

help support!

So then how do you actually use this product?

As I mentioned earlier. You simply do as you would with a facial toner. (I love toner btw, they

are great for tightening pores and clearing acne!) Simply take a cotton ball, apply some of the

Daily Pore-Refining Treatment to it and swipe all over the face and neck. This stuff is gentle enough

to use around your eyes, but not over them of course or you risk getting product into your eyes which

is never a good thing! Make sure your skin is clean before using and it is recommended to follow up

and apply your favourite moisturiser afterwards before applying makeup.

Taking this extra step into my new year's skincare routine I believe has really been worth while

in nurturing my skin into it's early 30's!

Paula's Choice

RESIST Youth-Extending Daily Mattifying Fluid

SPF 15

Moisturiser for Normal/Oily/Combination Skin!

RRP: $35.00 (60ml)

---------------------------------------------------

Being Summer in QLD, it is imperative to protect your skin from the harmful sun's UV rays daily!

I have always been sun concious and rarely ever suffer from sunburn. I once burnt quite badly when

I was about 14-15 and living in Cairns, the sun was as you would expect in TNQ, completely

unforgiving! So I in turn learnt my lesson the hard way as it make me feel quite physically ill 

and I never let myself burn like that ever again!

Products such as this which contain some kind of SPF in them are quite common how a days

and so really there is no excuse not to slip, slop, slap when it is so easy.

This product is easily applied after cleansing and toning and before makeup and absorbs quickly

without leaving a greasy residue. I appreciate the mattyfying effect as even though I classify my

skin as being 'normal', it can still gain that a little more than a 'dewy' effect by the end of a long, hot,

Summer's day! I have found my skin to remain looking matte and fresh throughout the day when

I've applied this in the morning. So it is quite amazing that it moisturises and protects your skin

from the sun whilst still not feeling heavy or slick!

Fragrance free and non irritable, this whole Paula's Choice RESIST skincare range helps to

prevent the visible signs of aging and minimise pore appearance. Two of my top skincare

concerns sorted!

tailored to your skin type and concerns.

JOJOBA

~ T H E  J O J O B A  C O M P A N Y ~
Beauty Is In Our Nature!

100% Natural Ultimate Jojoba
Youth Potion
Jojoba With Added Vitamins & Antioxidants!
RRP: $39.95 (50ml)

Having recently introducing oils into my everyday skincare routine I have been finding the
benefits really rewarding! This particular one has especially taken my fancy as it's ingredients
are so natural, raw and pure. I love that concept and it seems my skin is as well!

I am so in love with this beautiful, elegant frosted, glass bottle complete with it's golden lid and
natural smelling contents. All you need to do is apply two pumps from the bottle to your fingers
and gently massage into the skin on your face, neck and décolletage.

Jojoba oil won't add an extra oily film to your skin or block your pores as you might imagine that putting an oil onto an already oily face might do.
My skin isn't oily, however it is acne prone, so the last thing I want to do is add extra oil to it.
Jojoba oil is different though as it is completely natural and actually soaks right into
your skin leaving it feel smooth and soft. Not at all greasy or oily I promise you!

The 100% Jojoba mixed with an array of other natural oils including - Camellia, Meadowfoam,
Baobab, Argan, CoQ10, Linden Blossom and Manuka work together to help smooth out
any wrinkles, balance uneven skin tone, enhance it's texture and moisturise it deep within the skin.


Redness Reducing Balm
Calming Balm Enriched With Antioxidants!
RRP: $39.95 (85ml)

This has fast become my new favourite facial moisturiser! As far as the feeling you get from a
product on your face. This is up there with the best I've ever tried! This is a Redness Reducing
Balm, which is perfect for those with sensitive, dry and combination skin types.

My skin is normal, however I occasionally suffer from random small red rashes on my neck every now and again
for whatever reason is anyones guess? My sister gets it too, more so than me as her
skin is fairer so maybe it's hereditary? Regardless, this still works great on
making my skin feel incredibly hydrated, soothed and looking radiant!

The product has been clinically proven to increase collagen production and elastin by up to
80.6% and 63.2% respectively.  The Jojoba plant is very interesting because it is actually
the only plant to produce wax esters which similar to own skin's sebum which helps our
skin to retain moisture. As we age this doesn't work as well so this is where an oil like
Jojoba can help as it works identically to our skin in the the same way it does to it's own plant cells.
So if these claims are true, then I need no more convincing to
keep on using it! I want my skin to keep on producing that stuff by the bucketload as I age!

This product also comes housed in a very classy frosted glass unique shaped bottle with a pump
top to dispense the product easily and mess free. The scent is slightly different to the Natural
Ultimate Jojoba Youth Potion, yet you can sense the similarities and recognise the Jojoba as the
dominate ingredient immediately, yet it isn't an overpowering perfume fragrance so it is safe for
those with sensitive senses!

Just some of the ingredients designed to help soothe and moisturise the skin include -
Water, Jojoba, Purslane, Vitamin E, Cucumber, Green Tea, Aloe Vera, Seabuckthorn,
Chamomile, Lavender, Pomegranate, Peppermint & Chamomile Roman.

The Jojoba Company does not test on animal and is Australian owned & made!

EMERGINC

~ e  m  e  r  g  i  n  C ~

                                         Scientific  Organics! 

Kombucha  Cleanser

This feels refreshing and cool against my skin and as it lathers up quite well

I was able to get quite a few uses out of this little 3ml sachet.

The scent is mild and reminds me of a day spa. I found it didn't strip my skin but still

gave it a clean look and feeling. Removes excess oil, dirt and even makeup!

Full size is 120ml and has a RRP of $35.00

Phytocell Cream

I used this cream over a few days at both day and night and it felt very

pampering, creamy and soft on my skin. It melted right in and I really enjoyed it.

Extremely hydrating and contains concentrated grape stem cells which help

 to brighten the skin and improve it's texture, and tone.

Contains an impressive list of ingredients those of which I found most interesting and appealing

being both green and white tea as well as food grade seaweed!

You can find the full list of ingredients of each product on the emerginC website.

(Link at the bottom of this post!)

Full size is 50ml and has a RRP of $87.50

Phytocell Detox Mask

Similar to the Phytocell Cream, this mask draws out impurities, nourish, soothe,

brighten and improve the skins overall texture and tone.

Recommended to use 1-3 times a week and like a regular mask you just leave it on for

around 10-15 minutes. I experiences a very slight tingling sensation once the mask had

started to settle into my skin and begin drying but it only lasted about a minute and wasn't

anything uncomfortable and it felt more like it was getting down deep into my pores and giving

them a good clean out which I noticed after washing off the mask. My pores were noticeably

clear of any dirt or grime and my skin appeared more toned, even and smooth.

Full size is 50ml and has a RRP of $50.00

Peel Pad

This kind of product is completely new and different to me as I'd never used or applied

any kind of facial peel product to my skin before.

This was interesting because you actually apply this pad directly to your face whilst

completely dry and after 2-5 minutes you remove it with a cool facial washer or you

can just rinse the product away with water. Not a process I am used to, but still a very easy

and simple procedure to follow.  

Like the Detox Mask, I did feel a little tingling similar to 

what I felt when I used the mask, although a little stronger but still not painful or uncomfortable.

Afterwards my skin felt renewed and felt relaxed which I didn't expect from a peel. I was

expecting my face to look and feel quite raw, but the stereotypical of this procedure wasn't like

that at all! The ingredients include - Natural fruit acids, aloe, tea tree, green tea, black willow

bark and apple extracts, just to name a few! 

All of emerginC ingredients are at least 70% organic!

This Peel Pad is sold together with their Clarifying Pads as an at home two step facial peel and

clarifying kit. Each product comes with x60 pads each and retails at a RRP of $90.00

Totally free of any artificial fragrances, colours or parabens!

No animal testing and their products are packaged so beautifully full size

in earth friendly, recyclable packaging. At present, they are even claiming

to plant a tree for each product purchased! How amazing is that? Now that is

something worth supporting! I love the initiative to purchase. Such a lovely idea!

This brand is up there in terms of quality and beauty.

Their products are focused on helping slow down and preventing the evident

ageing progress seen on our skin and uses only the highest quality, most natural

ingredients to do this such as - Vitamin C, Witch Hazel, Green Tea and Aloe.

emerginC products can be purchased from a number of stores online

or from selected spas worldwide.

Check out their official website for further details!
