DEEP STEEP Organic Foaming Hand Wash *****

5 Aug

Where do I start, where do I start? My mind is all scrambled because all I can think about is how good my hands smell right now.

The ONLY time it is ok to sniff your hands after using the washroom! Deep Steep, you’ve won over my nose-buds. (That’s taste-buds for scent!) I got this product from Natural Beauty Canada, not really knowing what to expect, never expecting to get excited over a hand wash. (Did I mention it smells GREAT?) The twist pump brings the liquid soap up into a foam, which I found surprisingly soft. I usually have a problem with my hands becoming too dry from washing throughout the day; although using this product there was a notable difference in the lack of dehydration. Having sensative skin, I was pleased when I saw how gentle it was on my hands while still managing to remove dirt and felt.
The self-proclaimed “perfect cure to the common soap”, this product comes in five lovely scents. (Mine was Honeydew Spearmint!) You can find them through Natural Beauty, Finlandia Pharmacy, Pure Pharmacy, or select Pharasaves in the GVA,

BIODERMA Atoderm Gel Moussant ****1/2

28 Feb

This is my favorite body wash by far – and it has NOTHING to do with scent or suds.

A few months ago, the skin on patches of my body where so dry and itchy I was scratching myself in my sleep, even the Dove body wash I was using didn’t help the matter… Enter Atoderm! Yet another life saver from the amazing French line Bioderma. This gel body wash doesn’t suds up like you would expect, but it more than makes up for that in the moisture department!

Bioderma is a dermatological line from France. They proudly produce great products and maintain an awareness of sensitive skin. There are many molecule patents under this line and the science to back up their products. You won’t find much of this in Canada, but what you can is still great to get your hands on!

BIODERMA Sebium Purifying Foaming Gel ***3/4

15 Feb

This is one of the top three acne washes I recommend to people. What I really like about this product, and what it has above many others, is that it is effective while not being too harsh for sensitive skin. Another really great thing about this product is that it can double as a body wash. Lather up with this in the shower to target body acne or oily pores.
