bio2you / review / remedy natural products /spa body salt scrub / anti ageing / organic skin care

 


Salt Scrub with Chamomile and Calendula

The unique formula contains soothing, gentle Chamomile, healing Calendula, Aloe Vera and Almond oil to nourish and moisturise, leaving skin smooth and silky.

Review

 I was thoroughly impressed with this product.

It has a nice smell to it.

It is abrasive enough to smooth skin but not too much so that it is irritated.

What's great as well is that this scrub stimulates skin cell renewal.


And the best part of all is this product does not contain alcohol, artificial colouring, chemicals, SLS or parabens.

Please see the website above for more natural products.


bio2you / review / remedy natural products / omega 3 6 7 9 revitalising serum / organic






Organic 3-6- revitalising serum
 
A very intense, unique, natural skin revitaliser containing Omega 3, 6, 7, and 9.


Review


Its absorbed really well and doesn't feel oily or greasy.


You only need a few drops of this from the dropper so this product will last quite a long time.




I like the idea behind this product that the
Omega 3 stimulates production of dopamine - the molecule that helps us feel happy so it is helping the skin to feel healthy and radiant.

My skin felt supple after use and I had no reaction itchiness or redness on my eczema prone sensitive skin.

bio2you / review / Organic radiance face mask seabuckthorn hyaluronic acid / natural



Organic radiance face mask with seabuckthorn and hyaluronic acid
 
Adds shining radiance, leaves skin soft satiny smooth and moisturised. Increases circulation, strengthens capillaries and boosts collagen formation.


Review


I'm seeing a lot of products containing seabuckthorn and I hadn't tried any till now so I was looking forward to this particular product


No burning sensation when the product was on my skin


No redness or itchiness afterwards


My skin did feel particularly deeply moisturised afterwards and it also felt really smooth


An interesting fact I learnt while researching the ingredients is that Hyaluronic acid encourages water retention in bodily tissues to help hydrate the skin, allowing it to appear smoother and more radiant.


So this mask claimed to do quite a lot of things and it didn't disappoint, very impressed.

Both of these drinks we would highly recommend.

There is 16 kcal difference between the lite and the original.

The original still did not contain refined sugar but contained natural raw cane sugar which is already a bonus over the energy drinks that are just packed with refined sugar.

And even better still, in the lite version, you have agave nectar for sweetening.


The lemon elderberry and pomegranate juice complemented each other very well.

We also both felt that the energy from the drink lasted quite a long time it wasn't just a sugar rush and then slump.

chuckling goat / review / acne / skin blemishes / goatsmilk / natural


Break out magic lotion





Product description

The lotion contains: goatsmilk, probiotic kefir, hazelnut oil, rice bran oil, olive oil and thyme & tea tree essential oils.
 
Review

I used the lotion after the cleanser that I received as the bar dries up the oils on your face and then the lotion is needed to add a bit of moisture.

A nice natural lotion easily absorbed into the skin with no greasiness.

Just wish I had known about this when I was in high school! Much better than the benzoyl peroxide.


Breakout magic cleanser



Product description

The cleansing bar contains: goatsmilk, probiotic kefir, coconut oil, olive oil, sustainable palm oil, thyme & tea tree essential oils and organic french facial clay. 


Review

I got on really well with this bar.

It lathered up nicely and then you just use it all over your face and neck.

It didn't sting when it got near my eyes.

My skin felt dry from oils but not too dry that it was uncomfortable and then you use the cream above which puts back in a little moisture.
 
I had no adverse reaction no itchiness or redness.

Natural body butter




Product description


100% Natural Body Butter with Organic Shea butter, Coconut & Avocado.

Review

This worked really well on my skin. It is a very thick cream and this is better for my skin as it doesn't contain all the added nasties you get in water based creams such as parabens.
 
The ingredients are 100% natural and I like it that I know what I am putting on my skin


Its absorbed well into the skin and doesn't leave a greasy residue.


It has a nice light smell to it.


I had no reaction no itchiness or red patches.





Product description

Blended 100% Natural oils including Shea Butter, Babassu Oil, Macademia Nut, Jojoba Oils and essential oils with their home grown Calendula to create this Natural Beauty Balm.



Review


Again this is a thick balm which works better with my skin than the thin creams.

The light oils are easily absorbed right into the deepest layers of the skin leaving no greasy residue.

I like the fact that a small amount goes a long way so a small jar lasts a very long time.

I had no reaction no itchiness or red patches.
