Dr. Hauschka Skin Care Regime!

Hi everyone!

Over the past few months, I have had the pleasure of trying out some wonderful facial care products from the highly regarded brand, Dr. Hauschka.

Dr. Hauschka Skin Care are an entirely natural skincare range made using selected medicinal herbs, flowers and other high quality ingredients found in nature. The products are designed to bring harmony, balance and rhythm to the skin. All of their products have the 'Certified Natural Cosmetics' seal of approval from the German Industry association BDIH which means their products are free of synthetic chemical fragrances, colours and preservatives, parabens, mineral oils, silicons and PEG (polyethylenglycol).

Dr. Hauschka products are not tested on animals, nor are any of the raw ingredients that are included in their products.
 
Cleansing Milk:
This is a beautiful, light cleanser, gentle enough to use both morning and night. I loved how this product instantly softened the skin and balanced my complexion. The look of my skin improved, appearing instantly brighter. I liked how the cleanser thoroughly cleaned my skin without leaving it dry and tight feeling. The size of this product is quite generous (145ml), therefore the product will last you a long time. I have been using mine since February and have only used about 1/8th of the bottle. I think this cleanser would be suitable for people of all ages, as it is non-drying, and does not aggravate skin conditions such as acne. It is also a gentle make up remover.

Clarifying Toner:
The 'Clarifying Toner' is definitely my favourite out of the four face care products I tried. It has dramatically changed how my skin looks and feels over the course of a few months. Designed with problematic skin in mind, the toner ensures skin is balanced throughout the cleansing process. Purple cone flower, Witch Hazel and Daisy extracts help to heal and soothe inflamed and/or blemish prone skin. This product can also be used by men as an aftershave. The toner is refreshing, soothing and is my go-to Dr. Hauschka product as it works well when used in conjunction with not only the Dr. Hauschka products, but also other brands cleanser's etc.

Cleansing Cream:
The cleansing cream was another favourite product of mine. The whole ground almonds gently exfoliate the skin providing a deep cleansing experience, while the calming ingredients such as calendula and chamomile soothe the skin and refine pores. For best results, I used the cleansing cream after removing my make up with the 'Cleansing Milk'. I found that this really improved the effectiveness of the products.
Another unique feature of this cream is the way it is designed to be applied. This is called the "press and roll" technique. The product is pressed into the skin by the palm of the hand, then rolled in an upwards motion into the skin. This motion ensures the skin is not scrubbed harshly, which can disrupt the skin's natural cleansing processes.

Rose Day Cream (Light):
The 'Rose Day Cream (Light)' is a beautiful lotion. Delicately scented by fragrant fresh roses, the soothing lotion will leave skin feeling soft, rejuvenated and smelling amazing! This cream was developed  after customers were asking for a lighter version of the regular 'Rose Day Cream' for their daughters. I really love the way this moisturizer makes my skin look. It is nice and matte (perfect for those with oily skin!). True to it's name, this lotion is really light and is easily absorbed by the skin.

I asked my gorgeous mum to try out the 'Rose Day Cream' as I found it a little too rich for my skin. Here are her thoughts!

"Firstly the smell is just divine, it smells exactly like an old-fashioned freshly picked rose, and does not have a harsh synthetic rose scent.
 
I just needed two tiny blobs about the size of two peas to cover my whole face and neck - the formula is quite rich so a little goes a long way. I also had no qualms whatsoever using it around my eyes as it is very gentle.
 
Overall the product delivered moisture to my skin all day long, is a stable base for my other makeup products, and gives me a soft dewy complexion without being overly greasy"
