Fresh Soy Face Cleanser

Published by

   There are so many things to like about this gentle facial wash. The low-foaming formula cleanses skin gently with amino acids — which are good alternatives to harsh surfactants — and is scented with a refreshingly uplifting scent of tea. I like to use this in the mornings when my skin just needs a light wash (I cleanse my face thoroughly every night), and I need to perk up my senses. The texture and scent of Fresh products just add that little some thing to my beauty routine.

Dr Jackson’s

Published by

Dr Jackson’s is one of those skincare brands which I think are worth every cent. It is pricey (the brand is stocked on Net-A-Porter after all), but it works. When I use Dr Jackson’s, I can feel my skin absorbing the goodness of baobab, chamomile, kigelia, and shea extracts that make up most of the products. Concocted by Dr Jackson, a doctor who studies medicinal plants in far-flung jungles that have the potential to treat skin cancer, the formulas are simple. Not too many unnecessary ingredients (check the list out), just the effective ones. I like 01, the doctor’s first product. It is a lightweight moisturiser with SPF20. 05 is another fave of mine. The essence — which is not watery like most essences — is a viscous gel that makes the skin glow. Made for the face and areas around the eyes, it can also be applied over make-up for a mid-day skin perk.
