Facial moisturizer - moisturizer discontinued by Sensuous Beauty - review by Ryuson

This natural moisturizer is intended to be used on the face because it is especially gentle. The essential oils are intended to calm, sooth, and hydrate the skin, and used daily it protects from environmental pollution and free radicals. It is best used after cleansing and exfoliating the face, and after any facial scrubs you prefer to use.

While it doesn't seem particularly oily, it does leave your face looking shiny. While you could apply matte makeup over this, I would recommend using this at night. You also can apply a light amount after your shower in the morning and then when you go to put on makeup remove some of the sheen with blotting papers.

This product is advertised for people with dry to combination skin, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for everyone. You may want to consider possible allergies to any of the following ingredients: Distilled water, almond oil, organic aloe vera gel, beeswax, shea butter, vitamin E, grapefruit seed extract and essential oils of organic lavender and organic or wildcrafted blue chamomile.

When I put a pump sized dollop onto the tip of my finger and inverted it, it took this lotion a bit over 60 seconds to drip off. While a bit thinner than most lotion, this is still thicker than a spray-on lotion. It spreads evenly and easily over a large surface of skin, and a little bit goes a long way. If you regularly use a face moisturizer and your skin isn't especially dry, you should be able to cover your entire face with one pump.

It is very easy to dispense with the pump and can be done one handed. Once on the skin it is absorbed well and doesn't rub off on any other skin or any fabric. If you do get this on fabrics I have found that it doesn't stain.

After you wake in the morning, this no longer feels or looks oily, but leaves your skin soft and plush. After washing my face in the shower any greasiness that may have been left is completely gone and I am left with moisturized skin.

This facial creme comes in three different scents, but the one I am describing is the lavender chamomile. The chamomile is a much stronger scent than the lavender at first, but once you begin to rub it into the skin, the lavender surfaces. It is not a fake scent and reminds me of playing in my friend's mum's herbal garden. It smells very natural and calming.

The aroma is meant to relax and calm the nerves, and I really feel like it is effective. Once applied, the scent lingers for a few minutes. After 10 minutes you can no longer smell the scent, so it is not something that you could use as a perfume.

It has no taste but does leave an aromatic residue in the mouth. Due to the ingredients and the effects, I could not suggest ingesting this.

Using one pump of this a night, I predict that this will last at least two months. It is easy to get a small amount of this to cover my entire face. This product will leave your face oily for about 5 hours if you go about your daily life and don't use blotting papers, but you also can wash this off of your face if you don't like how it feels or you need to go out.

This product really performs well. After a week of use, I have noticed a much smoother face. This product does not cause acne like a lot of oil based moisturizers and will not cause clogged pores. I would highly recommend this facial moisturizer to those that need extra skin hydration.

You can use this more than once during the day, but I found that once a day before bed is enough to get very fast and effective results. If you have very dry skin or a sunburn you can apply this as often as you need to.

This comes in a thick brown bottle with a high quality pump top. This feels very classy, but also helps to add to the 'all natural' feel. The labeling is simple and states the name and purpose of this product, the ingredients, and the instructions. It came with no box or container other than the bottle itself.

I would not hesitate to give this as a gift, especially because of the high quality packaging. Though the bottle does not leak, this may not be the most suitable bottle for travel because it is glass and is a bit delicate.

I have average to oily skin and I personally have found that this works wonders. I have noticed, if anything, that I have less acne that usual. While this product may be a bit expensive, it feels luxurious and the natural ingredients are superb. If you find that you have trouble with a lot of artificial ingredients, have very dry skin, or just like pampering yourself I would highly recommend this.
