I must admit I'm not the fussiest person when it comes to using 'natural' beauty products but I definitely think there are benefits from incorporating gentler, high-quality natural ingredients into your routine and one brand that has completely won me over is Freshly Cosmetics. A Barcelona based brand that prides themselves on creating amazing cruelty-free products that are super effective and formulated without any toxic substances. I've been trying out a couple bits from them and it's safe to say that I'm obsessed!
I was so excited when I pulled this out of the package as it's redness and stress-reducing properties are exactly what my skin needs right now. It's formulated with flavonoid-rich Lingonberry to stimulate cell repair, Vegan Hyaluronic Acid to increase hydration and elasticity and Astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant that has 65x more activity against oxidation than Vitamin C! It's a lightweight moisturiser that leaves the skin feeling super hydrated and plump without being greasy or clogging. I'd say it's great for everyone but especially those with an oily/combination skin! I personally like to use this in the morning before makeup or when I'm at home and want something that's going to keep my skin constantly hydrated throughout the day. My skin has looked so much healthier recently and I definitely put it down to this! It also smells of cucumbers which I personally love!
I love clarifying shampoos but a lot of the time they can be really drying which isn't great if you have to wash your hair every two days like I do. This Grapefruit scented shampoo is Sulphate and Silicone-Free and leaves your hair feeling incredibly clean but not stripped. It's formulated with Aloe Vera to rejuvenate and unclog pores, Argan Oil to moisturise and soften and Natural Menthol to help calm and soothe the scalp. One of the main things I love about this shampoo is that even though it doesn't contain any Sulphates you still get a beautiful lather which is really important for me as that's what makes me feel like I'm really cleaning my hair. I like to follow up with a nice hydrating conditioner and then air dry as normal. My hair feels insanely soft after using this and it gives me so much volume that emphasizes my waves in all the right places! Obsessed!
Have you tried anything from Freshly Cosmetics? What are your thoughts?
