The Body Shop : Vitamin C Facial Cleanser Polish

I came across “Vitamin C Facial Cleanser Polish” by “ The Body Shop” and I must say it lives up to the promises it makes. The Vitamin C Facial Cleanser Polish is for dull, tired complexion and promises to restore glow and skin’s natural radiance after use
It contains Amazonian camu camu berry and Community Fair Trade ingredients.  Whether it is the effects of a hot summer day, sweat, dust and pollution, the use of this cleanser and polish makes my skin feel rejuvenated and very refreshed.
I use it once a day because too much scrubbing is also not good for the skin oil balance

APPLICATION
Wet the face and neck with clean water. Massage over the face and neck using light circular motions. Rinse off with clean water and pat skin dry.

It does leave a fresh feeling on my face after washing. but i think the microbeads is a bit harsh for everyday use, and somehow it makes me break out sometimes with a small acne on my forehead
So I switch to The Body Shop Vitamin E Cream Exfoliate

That's all for now
Xoxo

THE BODY SHOP : Drops of Youth™ Eye Concentrate

I must say The Body Shop's Drops of Youth Concentrate for a youth-enhancing boost Edelweiss plant stem cells possess renowned skin renewal properties Enriched with Community Fair Trade ingredients
Drops of youth is gel like serum that can be used morning and evening before your eye cream.
It is not eye cream replacement -
I doubt it would give enough moisture unless your eye area is not dry at all or it might be enough on a hot and humid summer day when you need something very lightweight.
It also makes great base underneath makeup (eye concealer).
Texture is extremely lightweight and absorbs immediately.
My favorite thing is applicator -
It is great beauty innovation to have both pump and roll on. With one press on the pump enough product comes out to be used on both eyes. Roll on feels very cooling - LOVED this ! And soothing to the eye area.
APPLICATION :
It is supposed to be massaged in a figure of 8 circular motion and then patted lightly with fingers for complete absorption into the skin.
Right after the application you can see that skin feels tighter, smoother to the touch and very soft.
It's like a instant eye lift in a bottle.
I loved how it would fill in my fine lines around eyes and help my concealer set less into them.
Cooling effect of roll-on helps with puffiness (great if you suffer from allergies and your eyes get puffy).
Drops of youth eye concentrate has no color but has tiny iridescent particles (not shimmer) that when blended in illuminates eye area.
Overall great addition to my eye regimen and will be using this in the morning especially on a days when I wear full eye makeup
