My lovely friend Gevi works for Aveda and gave me this kit to try out. As you all know I love my REN Clay Cleanser and am quite happy with it but I still like to give things a try and loved this 4-step skincare system. It contains the Aveda Purifying Gel Cleanser, Exfoliant, Toning Mist and Hydrating Lotion.
If there's one thing I've learn't over the years it's that Cleansing is key!! It helps to remove impurities on the skin. One thing I liked about this kit is that it came with an Exfoliant in the form of a non abrasive liquid. Most exfoliants have particles that scrub at the skin, this is not good for spot prone skin like mine as this just spreads the bacteria all over the face. I first tried this Exfoliant after washing my face with my REN Cleanser. When I use my REN Cleanser I feel that my skin is totally clean afterwards....WELL...that doesn't appear to be the case! After using the Exfoliant on a cotton wool pad I was amazed at the dirt that still came off my face! The Exoliant is really gentle and feels light of my skin. I have used the full kit for a week now to see what it's like and am really impressed with it. The Gel Cleanser feels nice on my face and easily removes my eye make up which is a must for me! It contains Camomille, Lavender and Vitamin E. The Hydrating Lotion feels so light on my skin which enables the skin to still breathe. It absorbs really quickly but still moisturises really well. The only product in this kit that I haven't found much use of is the Toning Mist. It says to use this in the mornings after cleansing but it doesn't feel moisturising enough for me so I've been using the Hydrating Lotion afterwards.
On the whole I really like these products and would definitely buy them again. This kit is for Normal/Oily Skin and costs £26 which I think is really reasonable for a high end brand like Aveda.
Have you used any of these products? Do you use Aveda products?
