*Disclaimer - 100% truthful and my own honest opinions on any products I review.
Earlier this week I received a lovely surprise parcel from Thea Skincare including two sample products for me to review. I was especially excited about trying these products as they are vegan, not tested on animals and include high percentages of natural ingredients if not completely natural. As you may know if you've read my blog in the past that I have a huge love for products which are made from mainly natural ingredients, in my opinion nothing can be better for your skin.
The first product I used was the Body Glow Polish. I used a generous amount and rubbed it into my skin in circular motions. I was happy to discover that this product was rough enough to remove dry skin leaving my skin feeling smooth and soft but gentle enough to not make the skin sore or red. From reading some information which was included with the samples I believe this product was inspired by local villagers from Lake Malawi, who exfoliate their skin with fine grains of sand, rocks and stones. I think its wonderful that the creator of Thea was inspired by actions so natural, there really is nothing better than going back to the roots when creating a new product.
This product was perfect for refreshing the skin by naturally exfoliating all dead skin cells away but also moisturising as it includes ingredients such as Aloe Juice which seals in moisture allowing new skin cells to grow and Jojoba oil which hydrates the skin. When reading the ingredients I was pleased that this product includes Vitamin E which I believe to be a must have in all skin care products as it has skin healing properties, something that I personally look for due to having stretch marks from loosing weight and scars from an operation. This ingredient is great to look out for if you have any skin imperfections like me! The only downside to this product I could find is that it doesn't smell great it's not awful but compared to some of its competitors that I've tried its not as good smelling.
Overall, I really like this body polish, its full of natural ingredients, it exfoliates as well as moisturises and it leaves skin incredibly soft.
Thea - Ultimate Toning Body Cream - £24.95 per 200ml
After using the Walnut & Chamomile Body Glow Polish, I moisturised my skin using the Ultimate Toning Body Cream. This cream has a lovely consistency that is easy to apply to the whole body. When applying this product I only had to use a small amount before I was satisfied with my skin which was left hydrated and soft. Unlike the Body Glow Polish I actually love the smell of this product as it has a lovely floral fragrance.
Again this product uses both Aloe Juice and Organic Jojoba oil which moisturises, hydrates and cleans pores. As well as this the product includes DMAE and MSM which tones the skin, making it stronger and more supple by actively regenerating cells. I love that this product is suitable for all skin types but is particularly effective on sensitive or irritated skin. Overall, I feel this product is a great body moisturiser and may be great for ageing skin or problematic skin types.
