Waking up and winding down with the comforting A’kin Rose & Geranium Pure Facial Creamy Cleanser & Toner

January 28, 2016 Paris B 6 Comments

You know what sucks about running out of one of your favourite facial cleansers? Opening up a new one and finding that it sucks more than running out of your favourite cleanser! I persevered for a while, trying first the First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser (too stripping for something that’s supposed to be gentle) and then a sample of a Perricone MD Nutritive Cleanser (feels and smells weird and was also too drying). Neither hit that sweet spot.

Gentle and comforting A'kin Rose Geranium Cream Cleanser for skin

So, I dug around my skincare cupboard, in the hopes of finding something that my skin would like. Isn’t Murphy’s Law “wonderful”? I found any number of serums and oils and creams and cleansing balms… but just ONE facial cleanser! One! How was that possible?!

But I was thankful for this one, because from the first contact with my skin, I knew I had gotten third time lucky with the A’kin Rose & Geranium Pure Facial Creamy Cleanser & Toner.

I wasn’t expecting the A’kin Revitalising Cellular Radiance Serum to be a facial oil!

October 12, 2015 Paris B 18 Comments

Nothing surprises me so much, as to break into a bottle that says “serum” and find out that it’s an oil. Yes, my friends, the A’kin Revitalising Cellular Radiance Serum is in fact, a facial oil. Threw me for a loop at first!

a'kin revitalising cellular radiance serum

The box is super colourful, but the bottle itself is fairly plain in its packaging. I had been sent this a long time ago, but never got round to using it for a good reason.

A’kin is a natural brand of skincare by Purist, and hails from Australia. I had tried one of their shampoos quite a few years ago which did not wow me. I actually hated it, which might explain my reluctance to try anything else from them, especially skincare. Also, I used to be quite against natural/organic skincare, due to some bad experiences.

Recently however, I discovered this serum in my stash while doing a spot of decluttering, and decided to use it as my day serum, after I ran out of my HG Worship serum. That was when I realised that this Cellular Radiance Serum was in fact, a facial oil, and I was a little hesitant about using it on my skin in the day.

I’m a keen user of facial oils, but I’ve thus far, kept it for use in the evening routine, because of the texture. Somehow, the idea of using oils in the day frightened me a little. I wasn’t sure if it would leave my skin looking and feeling too greasy.

But you know, I’ve come to really enjoy using this, and I seriously think that it’s done good things for my skin! Oh and no, it’s not oily at all 😀

They just launched the new NCEF Night Mask, an ultra-regenerating sleeping mask that promises to rejuvenate tired skin in just 7 nights! Well That sounds right up my alley! 😮‍💨
I highly recommend the Meso Mask as well for a rejuvenating, hydrating and smoothing boost to the skin. Its a good brand, that I’ve tried in the past and I’m glad we now have it here! 😊
