Product Review:
Ladies and Gents! I have been using this moisturizer in the mornings and evenings for two months now and I am loving it! I recently got this as a Bridal Shower gift from my Hubby's Mom which she bought from Marlene's Market & Deli on 38th in Tacoma for $38.95 . However, you may also visit the brand's website (evanhealy) to browse around or buy their products as well.

The Rose Vetiver Day Moisturizer I have comes in a 1.4 oz glass jar. The reason why I chose to try out this moisturizer is because I have combination skin, which means I have both oily and dry skin on my face and this Moisturizer is suppose to be ideal for skin types like myself! The texture has a smooth, creamy feel - not too runny nor thick. The Moisturizer has an off-white beige color to it. After two months of using it the oils did not separate and the creamy texture is still in tact. This suggests that the moisturizer is thoughtfully bonded and is preserved for a good while. Keep in mind I live in Washington State so atmospheric conditions may create different results. More importantly, I did not break out after using it and the product easily seeps into my skin leaving my skin damp - but not oily or dry. The smell is Aromatic, calming, as I put it on my face I feel a slight tingling feeling. The Calming sensation might be related to the effects of Vetiver, which I have stumbled across more info about Vetiver in a book, titled Asian Secrets of Health, Beauty, and Relaxation.
I encourage you all to try this product, I can't say for certain every product works exactly the same for people of like skin conditions as myself because everyone's skin is unique and people may react differently. Don't be shy to ask for samples. At Marlene's Market & Deli, samples are out all the time!"Vetiver oil comes from the roots of vetiver grass grown largely in India and Indonesia. [It has a] [d]eep smokey base note, with a woody yet sweetly spicy undertone. [Vetiver is] [k]nown as the 'oil of tranquility' in India for its deeply relaxing effect, vetiver is traditionally woven into mats or screens and hung in rooms to evoke a sedative atmosphere. It keeps insects away, and while it stimulates blood flow and relieves muscle tension, it also stimulates the production of breast milk if massage with oil into the chest. Like sandalwood, it is beneficial for anxiety as well as insomnia and helps you cope in times of upheaval."1

I am all about reading and getting familiar about product ingredients, because if you think about it, ladies and gents. There may be a few synthetic or harsh ingredients that are not harmful in small quantities, however if you think about everything you put on your skin during the day it certainly adds up. From Face Washes, to Serums, Moisturizers, lotions, Deodorants, etc. So it is best to use close to Organic ingredients as you can so you don't disturb your bodies' natural functioning and of course, it is overall better for the Earth.

Sounds great but I'm iffy about using new things since my skin is so sensitive. Since it's natural, do you think it will be gentler on my skin than what the big businesses sell?
ReplyDeleteI think generally Organic Companies that use Natural ingredients would be less harsh compared to mainstream products and cosmetics. However, it is better not to just trust that they say they are organic and all natural, but to actually look at the ingredients. Ingredients like parabens, pathalates, formaldehyde (used in embalming), propylene glycol, mineral oils, etc can disrupt the PH of your skin and cause break outs and even irritation. It is always great to try and get a sample of things before you put it on, but this is why I had made a review, I have no skin problems while using this moisturizer!
