Review (4/5): Charcoal aides in absorption of oil
Ok, I am going to write this review on all five of the products in their organic line. I am a firm believer in not mixing products. Some I gradients do not work well with others, so I feel that using an entire line gives the best results, especially in skin care. First you start with the Super detox charcoal activated deep pore facial cleanser. This is black, due to the charcoal. It has a light floral/witch hazel-y smell to it. It is organic, vegan and cruelty-free. Made with Aloe Vera and organic essential oils, along with being infused with reiki (healing energy). Next is the exfoliating mask. I used the pineapple and papaya one. It comes in a 2.3 oz glass jar. I don't really smell the fruity aspect of it, but I DO smell the Roman chamomile. It says it is meant for sloughing, but this is gelatinous, like pure Aloe Vera gel. I did not notice any e folk taking or tightening properties, but my skin did feel nice and clean after using it. It did not sting as it dried, and it washed off easily with warm water. Again, infused with reiki and natural ingredients.
The next step is the toner. I have the lavender and aloe, as well as the rose crystal. The lavender is balancing and used for hydrating and clarifying. It comes in a 4.5 oz glass spray bottle, has a wonderful floral scent and is also infused with reiki. The rose water toner is made with rose quartz crystals and is good for nourishing, moisturizing and restoring. It smells of wonderful roses. Same size as the lavender.
The final step is the chamomile moisturizer. This smells similar to the mask, but it is a creamy consistency. Loaded with antioxidants, I use a quarter sized amount and pat it onto my toner dampened skin. It comes in the same size jar as the mask.
This set is a bit pricey, however, as the ingredients are all natural and organic, you are going to pay a bit more. Also, this is price comparable to any natural product line in the salons. What I like the most about these products is that they are all natural, GMO free, vegan friendly and cruelty free. My skin feels clean after using these. It does not feel greasy, nor does it feel "scrubbed"...just a natural, gentle clean...WITHOUT harmful toxins going into my body. For anyone who has battled cancer, this is extremely important when deciding what to put in or on your body!
The only reason I dropped it a star was for the simple fact that the mask does not technically exfoliate. It is another cleansing layer, but does not actually slough off any skin. Other than that, I really like this set! Seeing as this set is infused with healing reiki energy as well, It makes it a no brainer in my book!
