Root: Skin Care – A Review
A couple of months back I reviewed Root makeup products. If you aren’t familiar with Root you should check out my previous post and their website. They have many fantastic products you will want to try out.I thought I would post a follow up review on several of their skin care items they have been coming out with over the last few months. I hope this helps you on your quest to find natural skin care items that are actually good for your body. I adore each and every one of these products and highly recommend them.
R&R Makeup RemoverHaving being using Root products for a while I tried several different makeup removers while using them. One of the best thing about Root products is that they don’t move (especially the mascara and liners). The only problem with this is getting them off. I tried regular makeup removers, coconut oil and olive oil each with varying degrees of success.This product is by far the best thing I’ve tried to get the Root Liners off my eyes. Since it is specially formulated to work with Root products there is no need to scrub your delicate eye skin. This is a bonus
Fresh Face CleanserEver since I changed my birth control method last year I’ve had lots of trouble with acne and breakouts. This has been quite a stressful thing for me since for the first 25 years of my life I never dealt with any sort of acne. I’ve been trying everything I could to get rid of it but with no luck.That all changed when I found this cleanser though. The formula contains activated charcoal along with many other fantastic essential oils that have cleared my skin right up! I highly suggest trying this cleanser out if that is something you also deal with.
Organic Peppermint TonerThis is by far my favorite Root product I’ve tried so far. Before this I’d never tried a toner, but now that I’ve tried it I’m never going back! The purpose of the toner is to tighten your pores while deeply cleansing your skin. This toner by Root is a fantastic product. You can notice a difference after the first use. When used with the Fresh Face Cleanser and the Beauty Sleep Serum you get a complete skin care routine that is wonderful for your skin.Since this product is made by Root it is gluten free, vegan and paraben free! This toner also has the most fantastic, tingly peppermint essential oils in it. It is truly a treat for your skin. If you are only going to purchase one of their skin care products I highly suggest this one. Your skin will thank you!
Beauty Sleep Perfecting SerumOriginally I was on the fence about getting this product. I’d heard so many reviews and it seemed like such a miracle product, I was sure it was too good to be true. However I decided to give it a try since you actually get quite a bit of product in the small container.I have to admit, this product is as incredible as it sounds. It is the perfect overnight moisturizer for your face. Even after my first application I saw brighter skin that had a fabulous glow about it. I even converted my Mother when I had her try this product. The serum is chock full of anti-aging and moisturizing oils.The product itself is a dry oil that you put on your skin nightly. You can put it on during the day, but I’ve found if I cover it right away with makeup my face feels very oily. However, when used overnight this product makes the absolute perfect base for my other Root makeup products. I use this as a final step in my skin care routine and my skin has never been clearer!
Organic Coconut ScrubThis scrub is amazing. It is a fantastic way to get some exfoliation on your face and lips. And since it is also made of all natural ingredients it is good enough to eat (although that is not recommended)! I typically use this once a week to exfoliate my facial skin. This is often enough for me. My only complaint is that this product doesn’t come in other “flavors”. I’d love a grapefruit or lavender scrub too.
Fresh Lavender MoisturizerThis is an incredible moisturizer. I use it almost daily on my cracked hands. I also use it when I wear shorts to cut down on friction between my thighs. The smell for this moisturizer is incredible. It seriously smells like a field of lavender. It is fantastic to use right before bed since lavender is a calming smell.One thing to note on this moisturizer, since it is made with all natural ingredients it will not last forever. It is shelf stable for about 3 months. I don’t have any issues using the small tub within three months, but you might. You can put it in the fridge to get a little more time out of it, but you will simply want to use it often. Once you try it though you’ll have no trouble using it daily.
