Sukin Australian Natural Skincare

It is now the beginning of October in New Zealand, which means a few things; School is ending, Christmas is close and Summer is coming! The weather is getting warmer, which is great, however the season changes can definately play havoc with your skin. 

This often means I have to slightly alter the products I use on my skin. For example, during Winter/Autumn, I use a richer moisturiser as my skin tends to be a little drier than usual, and I use moisturising masks too. In Summer, I tend to use a lighter moisturiser and of course use a higher SPF sunscreen on my face and body.However, sometimes my skin can feel oily and weighed down from applying sunscreen several times throughout the day, which brings me to the new product I have discovered!

Sukin is an Australian based natural skincare company that bases it's values on being chemical free and environmentally conscious while caring for your skin, hair and body. They create natural products that are effective and affordable, and that only include high quality ingredients. ALL Sukin's products are free of Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES), synthetic fragrances, animal derivatives, harsh detergents, propylene glycol, artificial colours, triethanolamine, mineral oils, EDTA and parabens. As well as this, Sukin Skincare are a 100% certified carbon neutral business. All their products are packaged in an environmentally friendly way and is also recyclable.

Today I will be reviewing the 'Hydrating Mist Toner'.

Ideal for long car trips, flights and hot days, this toner quickly hydrates and refreshes the skin without leaving any residue. Just small enough to fit in your beach or handbag, this hydrating mist is the perfect pick me up! The toner combines the power of rosewater and German chamomile to leave your skin feeling both soft and soothed. I have been using mine atleast twice daily (after cleansing both morning and night). I have also started using it after exercising and when my skin feels stressed. It is also an excellent product to set your makeup for the day with!

Rating: I have thoroughly enjoyed using this product. It claims to hydrate, soothe and tone tired skin and it definately delivered. It is suitable for all skin types (including sensitive skin) and adds a burst of moisture to the skin with a 'barely there' feeling. I will definately continue using this product throughout Summer. I give it an 8/10.

The Story of Cosmetics

One of the main reasons I started this blog was because there are so many products on the market that contain harmful chemicals which can harm our health. There are thousands of different products to choose from for our hair, skin, body, teeth, and we can often find ourselves purchasing these products without realising just how much damage they can cause. I stumbled upon this video that was posted by Lorainne Downes (Ambassodor for Living Nature), and it really sums up just how easily different companies can get away with selling products to us which contain products proven to contribute to cancers, infertility and many other health disorders. Though our New Zealand government has more steps in place that the US, we still need to be aware of what we are using and how this can affect us.

Let me know what you think of the video!
