Hi everyone
I’ve been making some changes to my face care recently, my boyfriend brought me an Aveda gift set which had full size products in which is amazing and I love the products. I go to a hair salon that uses Aveda products and they have such a lovely smell and are natural products but I had never used there skin care before.
The products in my gift set are the Botanical Kinetics range, I have the purifying gel cleanser, the toning face mist and the hydrating creme and they really complement each other. The gel cleanser is the first thing I used, it is a very smooth cleanser and you only need a tiny bit to lather up enough for the whole face. I use this to remove my make up firstly and then a second time to cleanse my face. It’s very calming, a lot of cleansers I use make my face red and any blemishes a bit aggravated but I haven’t found that with this one. It also smells amazing!
The toning face mist is very refreshing, I’m not sure that it tones my face as it says it does but maybe I’ve not used it enough. I think this would be nice to use on holiday maybe in the fridge when you are really hot but I’m not sure I would repurchase this once I finish this bottle. I prefer toners that you put on a cotton pad as with the mist I feel could end up missing patches.
Last but certainly not least is the hydrating moisturiser, this is a day and night moisturiser but I think most of the time I will be using it as a night time moisturiser. It is quite thick so make up may not sit properly on it, I also feel that to really appreciate the moisturer it needs time to sink in and restore the skin over night.
I have never really used a set range for my skin care but I am starting to think that I may do this going forward as it links all the benefits of the range. It also smells so lovely that it’s a pleasure to keep applying Aveda products to my skin.
I would love to hear what skincare range you use, do you have any good reccomendations for a whole range.
Thanks for reading
