Ihana Skincare Beri-Activ Cleansing Gel & Hydrating Day Cream

I've been testing out two products (a full size and a sample size)* from Ihana Skincare which is exclusive to Only Naturals. The range is hand crafted in the UK, certified natural and uses bioactive ingredients wild harvested in the Arctic Tundra and Boreal forest of Northern Scandinavia.

The Beri-Activ Cleansing Gel* (50ml - £20) is a gel to milk formulation which deeply cleanses the skin, unclogging pores and easily removing dirt and daily grime. Organic Apricot Kernel and Sweet Almond oils draw out impurities, anti-inflammatory Heather Flower extract soothes, Meadowsweet extract tones and Ihana's signature Beri-Activ Antioxidant complex (which contains Cloudberry, Cranberry, Bilberry, Lingonberry, Raspberry, Blackcurrant and Sea Buckthorn) helps with skin brightening, conditioning, anti-aging, UV-B and UV-C protection, anti-inflammatory, elasticity and cell regeneration.

To use:  Apply the gel to dry skin, massaging onto the skin before adding a small amount of water which turns the cleanser into a silky milk. Wash off with warm water or use a muslin cloth for best results.

I'm a huge fan of sample sizes which are great to try before you buy or for holidays. Ihana Skincare offer a selection of these which you can see HERE. I've been testing out the Beri-Active Hydrating Day Cream* (5ml - £5) which is a rich but easily absorbed cream which is formulated with Beri-Activ Antioxidant complex, Organic Cranberry Fruit Water, Organic Rosewater, Organic Camellia Seed and Argan oils which nourish, soothe and hydrate the skin. Organic Rosehip Seed extract helps with cell renewal and Hyaluronic Acid firms and plumps. The cream has a beautiful scent. It's fragranced with Organic Rose Otto and Rosewood essential oils. 

To use: apply to your face and neck after cleansing.

I've been really impressed with both of these products. I'd say the day cream just slightly has the edge! Have you used any Ihana Skincare products before? If so, what are your favourites?

Only Naturals: John Masters Organics: Lavender Holiday Collection

I'm a huge fan of John Masters Organics as I find their products really work. I've used all the products before which are contained in this lavender holiday collection (£38) and really rate them highly.

The kit contains 2 full size items and one travel size - John Masters Organics Lavender Rosemary Shampoo (236ml) which gently cleanses the hair leaving it looking healthy and shiny, John Masters Organics Lavender & Avocado Intensive Conditioner (207ml) which deeply nourishes dry and damaged hair (this would be perfect to take on your summer holidays to help with sun damaged hair) and a mini Rose & Apricot Hair Milk (30ml) which I reviewed HERE and is one of my favourite products.

It really is a great set for fans of the brand and for those wanting to try it for the first time.

Alucia Organics: Certified Organic Deep Cleansing Balm 50g

I'm a huge fan of Only Naturals as they stock such a great selection of fab brands. A while back I tried Alucia Organics Certified Organic Rosehip Oil* - see my review HERE. I was excited to try their Certified Organic Deep Cleansing Balm (50g - £20)* which makes cleansing into a luxurious ritual.

The Cleansing Balm is made with a blend of Organic oils, Organic Shea Butter and fragranced with organic Lemongrass, Lavender and Rosemary essential oils.

The cleanser has a beautiful light texture which is easy to massage onto the skin. The scent is particularly lovely and I've really been enjoying using it. It quickly gets rid of make up and daily grime leaving the skin feeling and looking clean, radiant and nourished.

Organic Sweet Almond and Castor oils remove dirt and daily grime while Organic Shea Butter deeply nourishes and softens. Organic Chamomile and Calendula extracts soothe and care for the skin. 

To use: apply a small amount onto the skin and massage for up to two minutes. Remove with a warmed damp muslin cloth.

Alucia Organics: Certified Organic Rosehip Oil

I've been trying out Alucia Organic's Certified Organic Rosehip Oil (£17.95 for 30ml)* which is available at Only Naturals.

Alucia Organics is a family run business which is based in Berkshire and they sell organic oils, organic shea butter, coconut oil and a range of organic essential oils. See HERE. I'd not heard of this brand before now. The oil is made using supercritical C02 extraction whereby C02 gas is pumped through the seeds under pressure which flushes the oil from the seeds.

High in Omegas 3 and 6 the oil regenerates the skin and helps with premature ageing, stretch marks, scar tissue and wrinkles.  It's also useful in treating burns, wounds, sunburn, eczema and acne and is suitable for all skin types.

To use: apply a few drops to clean skin massaging until absorbed.

I've been really impressed with the quality, price and how effective the oil is. Have you used any products from Alucia Organics before?

Suti Honour Face Cream & Rose Water Organic Facial Spritz

Yep, you've guessed it my spending ban is over! (I've also purchased a few other things over the weekend).

As a huge Suti fan (I've tried most of their other products - see my review of the foot balm here).  

When I received the recent Only Naturals email with the latest offers I knew I had to try the new Suti Honour Coconut & Roses Face Cream (£48 for 50ml) it comes with a free Rose Water Organic Facial Spritz worth £18.50 (for a limited time only).  Along with my order I got a couple of free samples.

My initial thoughts are I love them both! I'll do a fuller review once I've tried them for a week or so.

Suti Honour Coconut & Roses Face Cream 50ml is made with Organic Rose Otto, Organic Coconut Oil and Date Seed Extract and smells lightly of rose. As you apply the cream in the morning the ritual is to honour your skin "a time for reflection, a time to be at one with yourself, a time to create a sacred space to honour". 

Suti Rose Water Organic Facial Spritz 100ml this is just amazing! Deeply scented with roses it tones, calms and refreshes the skin. It contains Rose Moon Essence, Suti's own floral essence from rich red roses that has been made under a full moon.

Both are packaged in glass bottles with pump/spray. They look stylish and luxurious. Have you used any Suti products before?

Spiezia Facial Cleanser

I've used this wonderful Facial Cleanser many times before.  I came across Only Naturals on Twitter and noticed they were offering 10% off to new customers.  I decided to browse the site noticed they stocked Spiezia.  They also offer lots of lovely gifts with purchase and Special Offers.  

Spiezia products are 100% organic and are made in Truro, Cornwall. The cleanser is a best-selling product which is a blend of essential oils (Eucalyptus, Clary Sage, and Clove), plant and nut oils and beeswax.

Amanda, MD and founder of Made for Life - a complementary programme supporting people diagnosed and recovering from cancer within Cornwall.  The programme offers holistic treatments, organic makeovers, nutritional advice and love and hugs.

"we believe in pure, organic and ethical hand made skincare that makes you feel fantastic inside and out. That's the made for life philosophy".

The range contains products for her, for him, for baby, for therapy, for living. Check out the shop here and here.

The cleanser helps decongest skin, regulate sebum and is great for removing waterproof mascara. It also rids the skin of impurities and it smells absolutely gorgeous!

You only need a tiny amount, warmed in your palms and then applied to your skin massaging the cleanser into the skin.  Remove with a warmed wet cloth.

I was also sent a couple of samples from Only Naturals which was a nice surprise - Pukka Nourishing Face Oil (2ml) and Madara Deep Moisture Cream (1.5ml).

Only Naturals offer 10% off for new customers (first shop only) - see here.
