REVIEW ON THE HERB FARM NORMAL (INCLUDING SENSITIVE) SKINCARE MINIS

Hi beautiful,

Today I am introducing The Herb Farm that is a 100% natural handcrafted in New Zealand.

When my skin got irritated by a cleanser I was testing 😒,  I had to go back to some of my usual products and The Herb Farm Normal(including sensitive) skincare minis to reduce the irritation and break outs.

Here is review on this kit which can last 2-3 weeks.
The Herb Farm Softening Rose Cream Cleanser

1. The Herb Farm Softening Rose Cream Cleanser

1. The Herb Farm Softening Rose Cream Cleanser

The Herb Farm Softening Rose Cream Cleanser

A beautiful light and luxurious cleansing cream to effectively remove impurities and nourish your skin. Gently removes makeup including mascara.  Provides the perfect balance of natural oils to cleanse, nourish, and soften normal skin.

Usage: Gently massage two to three pumps onto damp skin and rinse off with warm water.
Ingredients:
Purified Water (Aqua), Glycerin (Vegetable Glycerin), Prunus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Organic Shea Butter), Glyceryl Stearate, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Alkanna Tinctoria Root (Alkanet) in Prunus (Sweet Almond) Oil, Sodium Levulinate, Sodium Anisate, Rosa Damascena Absolute Oil, Citric Acid

Review: The Herb Farm Softening Rose Cream Cleanser smell amazing of rose. It does remove makeup and mascara.  The pH of the cleanser is at 5.5 which is great for sensitive skin.  The skin does feel hydrated even if I do not apply anything afterwards as it hydrating and does not make the skin feels dry after rinsing my water with water.  The ingredients are made up by a lot of oil that is to prevent evaporation of water that tends to happen with dry skin type or during summer.  I use it in the morning to lightly wash my skin since I can't just use water even when my skin was irritated.

2. The Herb Farm Smoothing Exfoliating Powder πŸ’– (15ml)

A deeply exfoliating powder to promote a fresh, radiant, and polished complexion.  Dead skin cells are buffed away.

Usage: Place a small amount of powder in the palm of your hand& two to three pumps of cleanser and mix. Massage into cleansed damp skin over the face and neck.  Rinse off with warm water.

Ingredients:
Oryza Sativa (Brown Rice) Powder, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Seed Meal, Linum Usitatissimum (Golden Flax/Linseed) Meal, Pumice Powder, Zeolite Powder, Actinidia Chinensis (Kiwi) Fruit Powder, Hordeum Vulgare Leaf (Barley) Powder, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Powder


Review: I use this once a week.  This is my favourite out of all the products as this is the dupe of the famous rice powder brand.  The texture is very soft after mix with water and my skin looks really good and better each time I use this powder.  It smells like rice and it is green from the natural colour of kiwi.

I do love the ingredients inside this product and one of it is the zeolite powder which absorb toxins, free radicals, and ions from the skin while helping maintain correct pH levels.  The rice powder, linseed, barley, kiwi and apple assist in brightening the skin and gently remove the outer dead skin without irritating the skin.


3. The Herb Farm Rejuvenating Facial Toning Mist (20ml)

A light facial mist to tone, hydrate your skin after cleansing and throughout the day.
Effectively rehydrates and refreshes your skin and make-up when spritzed throughout the day.

Usage: Spritz onto the skin after cleansing to hydrate and tone your skin, or use throughout the day to refresh your skin and make-up.
Ingredients:
Purified Water (Aqua), Glycerin (Vegetable Glycerin), Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Rosa Damascena (Rose) Absolute Oil

Review:  Surprisingly I did not get rash although there is rose in it.  I think it is probably the ingredients used are well formulated or of high quality.  I do like this toner that is gentle, pH of 5, hydrate the skin and make my skin soft.  It also has my favourite ingredients- the panax ginseng which is one of the high end ingredients for anti aging and also centella asiatica that heal the damaged skin.

It smells of rose.  I am not sure about the real big full size bottle but you do need to use a cotton pad with this travel version since it spray out water and not fine mist to your face.

If you are one that love to spray your skin with mist, buy a hydrating toner with a good ingredient like this one instead of just water because a toner can keep the skin hydrated better and cool down the skin.



4. The Herb Farm Nourishing Rose Face Cream (15g)

A beautiful face cream to nourish and protect your skin, providing hydration throughout the day.
Helps improve your skin's elasticity to give a youthful complexion.
Works with your skin's natural oils to leave it nourished, softened, and protected from the elements.



Usage: Gently massage a small amount of cream into your face and neck after cleansing and toning. Use in the morning and night.
Ingredients:
Aqua (Purified Water), Prunus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Glycerin (Vegetable Glycerin), Glyceryl Stearate ,Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Alkanna Tinctoria Root (Alkanet) in Prunus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Organic Shea Butter), Sodium Levulinate, Sodium Anisate, Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Powder 200x, Rosa Damascena (Rose) Absolute Oil, Citric Acid

Review: This rose face cream is another product that smell of rose.  It has a lots of natural ingredients that is for hydrating and moisturising dry skin or normal skin type.  The pink colouring is from the high rose oil in it which is really nice and pretty.  The cream is very smooth, soft and goes on the skin well without making it sticky.  It makes my skin soft and it is wonderful at the dry part of my face. It doesn't irritate my skin or cause more clogged pores.


_______________________________________________________________________________

All the bottles and jar in this kit are made from heavy dark glass which is really nice and the products are filled to the brim.

The Herb Farm Normal(including sensitive) skincare minis is a really nice starter kit for even young skin type considering that it is 100% natural.  If I have to choose my favourite from four of the product, I would suggest the The Herb Farm Smoothing Exfoliating Powder and The Herb Farm Rejuvenating Facial Toning Mist.  Both of them are suitable for acne prone skin and make a difference to my skin.  The toner has simple and nice ingredients that keep my skin soft for the lazy me.

Overall, The Herb Farm Normal(including sensitive) skincare minis is great for normal, dry and sensitive skin type.  It also does help to reduce irritation, healing it and hydrate my skin without causing more injuries to my acne prone skin.  Love the simple and 100% natural skincare ingredients in their products.

REVIEW ON ISHTAR CLEANSING CLAY POWDER

Hi beautiful,

If you are looking for a cleanser that you can carry for travel(the liquid restriction at the airport made beauty enthusiast hard) and for acne prone skin since you do not want to mess up your routine, do check it out.

Today is a review on Ishtar Cleansing Clay which has low pH and comes from a cruelty free brand.
Ishtar also gives back to charity, contains no SLS, no mineral oil and no paraben.  It is also a brand from United Kingdom with affordable price.

Ishtar Cleansing Clay powder / Ishtar Clay To Milk Cleansing Powder is a cleanser for combination (oily t zone and normal at other area), redness and acne prone skin.  So if you have the same skin type as I do, do check this review.

A cleansing powder for sensitive blemish prone skin. Low foam cleansing agents are combined with kaolin, coconut and honey for skin softening purification. A touch of AHA and enzyme rich pineapple extract adds just enough gentle exfoliation to brighten. Marshmallow and white willow extracts soothe and clarify. Skin is left touchable soft and smooth.

Clay-to-Milk Cleansing Powder is suitable for vegetarians. It is not tested on animals and is free from SLS, parabens, silicones and mineral oils.

Directions:

Skin types: normal/combination,oily& sensitive skin prone to breakouts.

Ingredients:
Kaolin Clay, Coco Nucifera extract, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Pineapple Fruit Powder, Honey, Coconut extract, White willow bark extract, marshmallow root extract, Organic Bergamot Essential Oil, Organic White Grapefruit Essential Oil.


Ishtar Cleansing Clay powder comes in form of a plastic bottle.  You will need to use a spatula to scoop the clay powder.  The soft greyish powder just dissolves into milk upon contact with water.  It doesn't bubble so do not apply too much water.

Ishtar Cleansing Clay powder / Ishtar Clay To Milk Cleansing Powder ingredients does look great for oily or sensitive skin with sebum that needs exfoliation.

Kaolin is great to suck sebum from skin.

The surfactant used is derived from coconut.
Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate is a cleansing agent but it is not a sulfate so it is not the same as SLS.

Pineapple is great for light exfoliation while honey provide calming and antibacterial effect on the skin.

White willow bark is BHA, Marshmallow root is used to reduce the pain and swelling (inflammation) of dry skin.

Organic Bergamot is used to calm the skin and clean the skin. it is the least toxic oil of most oils.

Organic White Grapefruit is popular for exfoliating and brighten your skin. It is popular anti aging ingredients in skincare products.


When we talk about cleanser, the goal is to find a gentle cleanser that will not irritate the skin or clogged the pores. This is especially true for acne prone skin that can just get irritated from some harsh cleansing skincare products.

Ishtar Cleansing Clay powder / Ishtar Clay To Milk Cleansing Powder looks great since it has gentle ingredients that clean my skin without irritation.  My skin feels soft and moist after washing.  It has low pH of pH5-6(mix with water of pH7) which is the pH of our skin too.  The scent of clay is really very faint actually unless one use more powder than water ratio.

The powder melts into the water and coloured the water slightly greyish.  There isn't feeling of beads with this cleanser.  It helps my skin to clear up my acne faster even when I was only using the cleanser with a few of my other acne products.

As for cleansing power, I am surprised with the ability to remove even sweatproof makeup.  As for the eyes area, I use a cotton pad soak in the mixture of the powder and water.  However, it doesn't work on those sweatproof Japanese mascara.

It is sure easily to carry for travelling.  The only thing is I have to use a spatula or else I will pour too much of the powder out of the bottle.

Overall, Ishtar Cleansing Clay powder / Ishtar Clay To Milk Cleansing Powder is great low pH powder suitable for travelling, combination acne prone skin that have redness.

REVIEW ON KLAIRS SUPPLE PREPARATION FACIAL UNSCENTED TONER VS KLAIRS SUPPLE PREPARATION FACIAL TONER


Hi beautiful,

Klairs has been gaining popularity with their Korean skincare products and one of their most popular product is the Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner which has changed my mine about not using toner in my skincare routine.

Since I do have both of the toner, today I am doing a review and comparison on both of the toner . Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Unscented Toner vs Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner .

I bought the regular toner myself since I have been liking it and the unscented one is sent to me for review.

Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Unscented Toner vs Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner


The before is taken nearer so it might look like my pores are biggerπŸ˜‚.  My skin is hydrated but it is not that tiny in that second photos.

Both of the toner has the stable vitamin C (antioxidant) in it so it does help to brighten the skin in the long run usage.

Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Unscented Toner is easier for me to use when my skin gets clogged and was breaking out from other products I was trying.  I mix it with some of other powdered products to soothe my skin and clear up the area.  I was also using the toner just as moisturiser with layering 3 layers of it in the morning which works out great too.  I live in hot humid area and have combination skin so a short routine in the morning keeps my skin happy especially when I am rushing in the morning.  It doesn't break me out.  It is also possible to use it with compressed mask mix with some of the centella powder and tea tree serum for hydrated and clearer skin.


As for the Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner, use it if your skin love essential oils that is presented inside this toner.  Not every skin is the same since some skin likes essential oils.  I find both of the toner equally hydrating.  However, the original toner might not be suitable if you are breaking out or purging from some other actives or you are using those actives.


Overall, Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Unscented Toner is a great hydrating toner for skin that doesn't like essential oils, love layering hydrating products or just for simple toner compressed mask.  I do like to use as toner mask which helps with soothing, balancing out the water and oil on my skin.

REVIEW ON ALTHEA BARE ESSENTIALS FIXER CREAM

Hi gorgeous,

Here is the review of Althea Bare Essentials Fixer Cream.  You can find the review for the Contour cleanser (HERE) and the primer water toner (HERE).

This Althea fixer cream came from the idea of making Korean skincare steps into 3 simple steps instead of the usual 10 to 20 skincare products and still managed to care for your skin needs.  After all your skin should complete your makeup and not to cover your skin.

Althea Bare Essentials Fixer Cream
This non-oily, quick-absorbing formula harnesses the power of Trehalose, an ingredient found in the cactus plant that prevents its moisture loss, to provide the skin with 24-hour hydration. This ultra-nourishing wonder cream is also rich in antioxidants derived from Camellia Sinensis (green tea) seed oil, and helps to promote collagen regeneration using Baobab Tree extracts. Upon application, your skin is left looking great and feeling bouncy to the touch.

- 24-hour hydration
- Non-sticky finish once absorbed

SKIN TYPE: All skin types
HOW TO USE:Apply evenly onto the face and gently pat in till absorbed

Key Ingredient:
Trehalose - Powerful humectant that retains moisture on the skin
Wild Green Tea - Hydrating, skin soothing and pack with antioxidants
Baobab Tree Extract - Non-greasy moisturizing agent that helps promote collagen production


Ingredients:
Water, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Dimethicone, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin), Cyclopentasiloxane, Glyceryl Stearate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60, PEG-100 Stearate, Cyclohexasiloxane, Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Carbomer, Tromethamine, Polyacrylate-13, Fructooligosaccharides, Saccharide Hydrolysate, Polyisobutene, Propanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Pullulan,Disodium EDTA, Polysorbate 20, Butylene Glycol, Sorbitan Isostearate, Trehalose, Sodium Hyaluronate,Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract,Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract, Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract, Adansonia Digitata Seed Extract, Fragrance


Althea Bare Essentials Fixer Cream comes in a simplistic white box. The frosted jar is actually made from plastic with an aluminium cap.  It doesn't come with a spatula.


The ingredients inside Althea Bare Essentials Fixer Cream are quiet interesting.  It is a mix of water, silicone, oil, fatty acid and fatty alcohol so the reason for the elegant texture.  It is occlusive enough to hold moisture and prevent dryness of the skin too.  Olive oil is high on the list and it emollient enough for dry skin.

Other plant ingredients such as chia seed, centella asiatica, lavender, green tea, Imperata Cylindrica Root, Houttuynia Cordata, Barbary fig and baobab are used for hydration, soothing, calming, antibacterial, humectant and speed up healing.

Prebiotic sugars as in Fructooligosaccharides to heal and soothe skin conditions.

There are also other hydrating ingredients such as the Saccharide Hydrolysate, hyaluronic acid, carbomer and  Polyisobutene.

Do also check the ingredient list for potential irritants.

The opaque white cream has a light cream texture which upon application turns into transparent soft light lotion. It is really smooth and has a dewy look on my skin.  It works great under makeup since it keeps the makeup from caking or drying.  I can only use about diameter 1cm since too much will make combination skin looks really oily.  It does have strong fragrance which I am not a fan.  After using it for about 3 weeks, I find the cream non irritating on my skin. It doesn't cause more acne on my skin or make the acne disappeared.  It does works great for the driest part of my face.


Overall, Althea Bare Essentials Fixer Cream is a great moisturiser for dry skin or for people who need a hydrating base for makeup.  If one do not have problem with the ingredients, then it is a great choice of moisturiser especially someone who looks for occlusive moisturiser.
