Thanks to some truly lovely PR packages, which were waiting for me when I got home from an extended stay with family recently, my skin has been enjoying some delightful summer treats over the past few weeks. Two are from Dr Botanicals, a tried and tested (and much loved) brand, while one is from a brand I hadn't heard of before - 001 Skincare, an unexpected but very welcome surprise. All three have proved such a joy to use that it would have been rude of me not to share, so here are the details!
001 Skincare Alpha Paradise Cleansing Dew (AD)
Oil based cleansers and my skin aren't always the best of friends, so I was somewhat wary of trying this product and have only been using it two to three days a week, relying on my trusty micellar water to remove makeup the rest of the time. So far it hasn't had any adverse effects, and I'm thrilled about that because it is such a wonderful product to use - this cleanser is worthy of a place in the fanciest of spas! First of all, it smells like a dream, due to its combination of jasmine, neroli and yang ylang oils. I can't resist a beautifully scented product and anything with jasmine in it is going to get my attention! It also feels nourishing, soothing and softening on the skin. Anyone who dislikes a stripping effect from their cleanser will love this, as it honestly feels like you're moisturising your skin rather than cleansing it. Yet it's also very effective at removing makeup. I tend to use a separate eye makeup remover, but other than that this will do the job very nicely, while caring for your skin at the same time. Cleansing your face never felt so luxurious.
Dr Botanicals Cocoa & Coconut Superfood Reviving Hydrating Mask (AD)
I love a cream mask that's super hydrating. Used two to three times a week as a sleeping mask, I always find I wake up the next morning with plumped, baby soft skin. This rich offering from Dr Botanicals is a perfect example and a very welcome addition to my collection. Containing cocoa and coconut, it has a very faint fragrance to it that is reminiscent of both those ingredients - good enough to eat! Feels deeply nourishing on application yet sinks into the skin surprisingly quickly, leaving you looking perfectly rested the next morning.
Dr Botanicals Lemon Superfood all-in-one Rescue Butter (AD)
There couldn't be a nicer product to use in summer than this one. I've been using it as a hand cream but it's also a handy little multi-tasker, perfect to use on cuticles, elbows or just anywhere you might have dry skin. Like the cocoa mask, it manages to be both super rich and fast to absorb, and doesn't leave the slightest residue on the skin. As for the fresh lemon scent, it's divine and so perfect for warm summer days. I'm absolutely loving this one and think I will feel quite bereft once I've finished it!

It's so gorgeous! I've never really tried anything like it before. x
DeleteI need to try some new products -- I've always pretty much kept to the same skincare routine and I can't say it's working! Gorgeous post! xx
ReplyDeleteThea || www.theascott.blogspot.co.uk
I love trying out new skincare products! x
DeleteThe Paradise cleansing dew sounds so luxurious! I never really use oil based cleansers either, but my skin has been extra dry and inflamed recently so maybe something oil based would nourish it more.

Yes, sounds like it could work well for you at the moment. I have times when they're good for me and others when they're just too rich so I always use them sparingly. They do feel lovely to use though! x
DeleteOoooo! The Dr. Botanicals mask sounds amazing! I have seen the brand sold here and definitely will pick the mask up to try if I see it.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy if you do, Shireen! x
DeleteThe 001 sounds amazing especially since it has Jasmine and Ye lang Ye lang. I always welcome new skincare products. I haven't used the hydrating mask as yet but the Lemon multitask, just like you, I enjoy using it on my hands and lips. I love it. Thanks for sharing Kate

DeleteI have read about the Cleansing Dew before and always think at first that it is a spray rather than an oil.
ReplyDeleteLinda, Libra, Loca: Beauty, Baby and Backpacking
Yes, it does sound like it would be lighter in texture given the name. x
