Huni Anytime Toning Mist Reviews

Review of Huni Anytime Toning Mist

By Catherine G.

Packaging The Huni Anytime Toning Mist is packaged in 150 ml beige, plastic spray pump container with the “huni” logo on the front.

Application The spray pump on Huni Anytime Toning Mist delivers a very fine mist which just melts into your skin beautifully. I would imagine on a hot sunny day this is amazingly refreshing (especially if stored in the fridge!) but in the middle of winter it works as a refreshing toner after cleansing. Simply mist over your face and neck after cleansing twice a day.

Ingredients Huni Anytime Toning Mist is another great natural product from Comvita, New Zealand and includes their trademark ingredient “Manuka Honey UMF20+” which is known for its moisturising and antioxidant properties. Another great NZ ingredient is “Kowhai Extract” traditionally used for its cleansing and soothing qualities.

Results The Huni Anytime Toning Mist is very hydrating for your skin so great in these harsh winter conditions and also after cleansing this leaves a nice clean base for your moisturiser to really give your skin a great moisture boost! Huni offer a whole range of skincare products so it may well be worth combining this toner with a moisturiser from their range as well.

Pros: Nice, subtle but refreshing aroma

• Great pump spray provides a very light mist of toner
• Very moisturising so leaves the skin feeling nice and soft
• 
  

Cons: None

Green People Gentle Cleanse Reviews

Review of Green People Gentle Cleanse

By Shona B.

Packaging The sample comes in a lip gloss type tube with a screw on lid. The flexible tube makes it easy to squeeze just the right amount of product out. However, as it lies down, rather than stands up it is difficult to get to the last bits as the product runs low. The actual packaging of Green People Gentle Cleanse is typically Green People; clean simple and it’s clear what it is. The writing is large and easy to read, including the ingredients.

Application The Green People Gentle Cleanse comes out easy from a small hole in the top of the tube. It’s a creamy white, thickish cream which feels luxurious and smooth. It’s reasonably fragrance free with no nasty particles to irritate the skin and no oiliness. To use the product you rub in gently over the skin. I also lightly wiped it over my eyes without irritation. I found that it removed more make up if I left it a few seconds before gently removing it with a damp flannel. It didn’t irritate my skin or eyes and left my skin soft and not in the least dry. I found it removed most of my make up easily although I don’t wear waterproof mascara or long lasting lip stick. It lives up to it’s “gentle cleanse” name.

Ingredients Green People Gentle Cleanse has lots of skin loving ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, olive oil, rosemary and marshmallow. It is alcohol and paraben free and suitable for vegetarians.

Results Green People Gentle Cleanse is a smooth and non-irritating cream cleanser, which gently removes most makeup gently and easily.

Pros: Non-irritating, even on eyes

• The product has few ingredients so less to irritate the skin
• Reasonably fragrance free

Cons: Probably won’t remove waterproof or long lasting waxy makeup

· A little slow to work, especially on heavy makeup

Best For: Natural make-up wearing girls who want an easy to use, effective, no-fuss product.

Weleda Wild Rose Toner Reviews

Review of Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner

By Jenny M.

Packaging The Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner comes in a 100ml bottle with screw top which is easy to use and enables you to apply just the right amount to cotton wool.

Application Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner did not irritate or sting at all and calmed my sensitive skin immediately.

Ingredients I am not keen on the smell of the Weleda products and unfortunately this was no exception. It smelt more like rose tea than the rose oil commonly used in cosmetics. This Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner does contain alcohol and witch hazel, neither of which are ideal for people with dry skin and I found if I used it for several days in a row it was quite drying. Using it every few days delivered optimum results.

Results After using the Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner, my skin felt refreshed and clean. Although the product contains rose it isn’t very hydrating due to the alcohol and witch Hazel and I needed to use moisturiser immediately afterwards. I probably wouldn’t buy this product as I like to have a toner I can use daily.

Pros: It refreshes skin

• It is excellent for sensitive skin
• It is good value for money

Cons: The smell is a bit too strong

· It is a bit too astringent for dry skin

Weleda Wild Rose Toner Reviews

Review of Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner

By Nadine D

Packaging The 10ml Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner comes in a glass bottle with a plastic screw top lid. The cardboard box packaging is bright pink with purple, gold and white lettering. The ingredients are listed along with product details in English and French. It stated that detailed directions for use could be found on the in-pack leaflet, but I was disappointed to find that the only leaflet enclosed was one detailing the product range.

Application I applied the toner after cleansing using few drops on a cotton pad. I could immediately feel the astringent properties of the toner and felt that it was really removing impurities on my skin. It did not sting or irritate my skin and my skin felt a little softer after using it for a week. I did not suffer form any blocked pores whilst using this product. The gentle rose fragrance was very pleasant and not too strong.

Ingredients I was very pleased that this product is low in alcohol as I find some toners far too drying for my skin. It is free from synthetic fragrances, colours, preservatives and raw materials derived from mineral oils. The ingredients are listed fully and the description of the product is in English and French. Its astringent properties are lent from witch hazel and the extract of the green leaves of Wild Rose, and the ingredients combine to support the natural pH balance of the skin. The product I used had a three-month shelf life, and this is more than enough if you use the product regularly.

Results After using the Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner for three weeks, my skin does feel a little softer and I have not had any problems with blocked pores. My T-zone that is usually slightly oily was definitely less shiny.

Pros: You can feel the astringent properties working straight away.

• My T-zone was definitely less shiny.
• It kept blocked pores at bay.
• It has a very pleasant fragrance.

Cons: I used this product twice per day, but think that once every day or every other day would suffice.

· It can be quite drying if used often on dryer skin types.

· It can be quite hard to control the amount dispensed from the bottle.

Weleda Skin Food Reviews

Review of Weleda Skin Food
By Ruth H

Packaging: The Weleda Skin Food cream is packaged in a tube within a cardboard box. The box shows full details of the product itself and the ingredients, including the natural essential oils used in the cream.

Application: Due to the essential oils this Weleda skin food contains, it is beautifully scented. The texture of the Skin Food is creamy, although slightly greasy once applied to the skin. I have very dry skin which is prone to eczema, and found that the Weleda Skin Food did keep the dry areas supple and moisturised for some time after application.

Ingredients: The ingredients of Weleda Skin Food are all listed on the packaging. I noticed that there was Lanolin in the cream, and was interested to find out whether this would irritate my skin as it is a known allergen. I haven’t had any problems so far, but using the Weleda cream over a longer period of time may make a difference.

Results: Although the Weleda Skin Food is lovely to use the moisturising effects don’t last indefinitely, and my skin remains very dry. I don’t know if this is due to changes in the weather and sitting in centrally heated environments at home and work, but I think I would need to use the Weleda skin cream for a much longer period to see its full potential. If you have normal/dry skin that needs moisturising then this product would be a ‘must have’, but with drier more sensitive skin I think a product without the lanolin or essential oils would be more appropriate, as both of these can irritate and dry skin out at times.

Pros: Lovely scent, nice textured cream

Cons: Not moisturising enough for very dry skin
