Vegan, Organic Skincare You Say?
Antipodes were kind enough to contact me recently and send across their range for me to try, I was so thrilled to try their range, I love the idea of all organic ingredients, so lovely to use. So here is my thoughts on the products after 4 weeks of using them. Please bear in mind that this is my personal opinion, and products work differently for everyone.
"with nutrient-rich avocado oil, Manuka Flower & Sweet Almond"
Of the four they sent this is the one I am most indifferent about. I love the way it makes my skin feel, but I cannot handle the smell. It seems to linger, and I know it is keeping my face moisturised because it feels incredible, but the smell seems to get stuck in my nose. I know its down to me being really sensitive to smell, so really it isn't much of an issue, but I don't find myself reaching for it because of it, which is upsetting because it's a beautiful moisturiser.
Grace Gentle Cream Cleanser £24.99
"With organic avocado oil, antioxidant Vinanza Oxifend & Marigold Bloom"
I have been loving this in the morning - it seems to just remove any leftover skincare and freshen up my face easily. It doesn't leave any film on your skin, and leaves it feeling fresh and moisturised. This would be one I would miss in my stash when I run out. One they recommend for more sensitive skin due to it's gentle and natural properties.
"With Vinanza Performance Plus, Raspberry Seed Oil & Reishi Mushroom"
I find myself reaching for this instead of the rejoice. I love this for my face and neck during the day, it is perfect for everyday use to protect against those pesky sun rays. Even in miserable Scotland. I love how this is organic too, I am getting the SPF without using chemicals, and what isn't to love about that?
"With nutrient-rich Avacado Oil, Marigold Bloom, Cedarwood & Sweet Orange"
This is without a doubt my favourite. The cream is a perfect mix of exfoliating and moisturising, it exfoliates without stripping your skin, and leaves it feeling soft and smooth. I have been using this daily, in the morning, in the shower. I also am IN LOVE with the scent. It smells like oranges. The smell on your hands when you peel an orange to be exact. This will be one I repurchase before I run out, I don't want to be without this one now!
