Human Heart Nature Hydrating Creamy Wash

I've tried their original formulation of their cleanser years back, only thing is, I didn't liked it because it was a little runny. I stopped using it after I purchased a bottle and moved on.

Few months ago, I saw their new packaging on their products; I spotted this cleanser on the shelves and found the word 'creamy' which makes it their new formula on the product. Since I am into this organic skin care regimen, I decided to give this product a shot. I switched my cleanser to their Human Heart Nature Hydrating Creamy Wash since I've been using their Human Heart Nature Hydrating Toner for months now.

From their website:

99.85% Natural | For DRY or MATURE skin 

Has your skin been looking a little dry and lackluster lately? We have the perfect antidote for that! Give it a nutrient power boost from one of nature’s best beauty secrets, moringa (commonly known as malunggay), a powerful ingredient that has 7x more Vitamin C than oranges, 4x more calcium than milk and 4x more Vitamin A than carrots! Our Hydrating Creamy Wash will remove dirt, makeup, and impurities without stripping your face of its natural oils. Now you can step out into the limelight revealing fresh, younger-looking skin, without the drying effects of chemical washes!

A month and a half later, I am loving this product! Organic and affordable find! Despite it is formulated for DRY or MATURE skin, I bought it anyhow because I love that it has malunggay (moringa) extract in it. I love eating malunggay too so it is a good thing. I just ran out yesterday and hopefully I'd get another bottle as soon as possible.... or else! I love that it is a bit thicker (hence the word 'creamy') and it is very gentle on the face. It didn't caused me breakouts or redness. The scent also has that herbal thing to it. However, this isn't a foaming cleanser that lathers on your face nor "strong" enough to wash away make-up.

Keep in mind for its expiry date before purchasing. Store it below 35 degrees and away from direct sunlight.

A 50ml costs Php79.75, while a 200ml costs Php199.75.

I love this cleanser! I love this creamy consistency while keeping your skin hydrated, and at the same time enjoying its chock of vitamins which helps delaying the aging process.Worth every penny for that soft and hydrated skin.

If only I can keep a box of these at home. :)

UPDATE: March 17, 2014

The milky texture of this cleanser is not suitable for oily skin types like me.

It doesn't feel like it washes away the extra oil on the skin, thus it is suited

for people who have DRY SKIN. I am not banning myself from this product.

But because this cleanser is so mild, I could add this as part of my double cleansing(?),

or anytime I feel like my skin needs a boost of moringa while washing my face.

Human Heart Nature Nourishing Face Toner

Months ago, I ran out of my favorite toner, the Human Heart Nature Hydrating Face Toner. I've been trying to contact our local dealers in my area, but they were hard to reach. I was thinking of buying any toner available, but I am just that afraid.

One day, my boyfriend helped me and asked someone who held a recent sale some time ago to contact this distributor of Human Heart Nature. (I am so happy for his efforts!) Unfortunately, the toner I was looking for wasn't available. But instead, they have the 200ml Human Heart Nature Nourishing Face Toner. I soon agreed rather than have nothing in my hands. Besides, this could be a new experience for me to try their other toners.

Let me remind you though that I have an oily skin. Even though it says on the product that it is suitable for normal or sensitive skin, I didn't mind it at all. I even love tomatoes! So learning that tomatoes are the main ingredient, I just simply had to try it and see if the product works for me.

According to the website:

100% Natural | For NORMAL or SENSITIVE SKIN

Nurture it with the goodness of tomato extract, from our all-new Nourishing Face Toner. It’s one of the most powerful antioxidants that soothes and helps repair skin leaving it unbelievably smooth, soft and healthy – inside and out. It doesn’t just help prevent skin damage caused by free radicals, it preps your skin for what should come next – moisturizing! The end result? Nothing but fresh, soft and breathtakingly smooth skin! 

You have NORMAL or SENSITIVE skin if when you experience at least three (3) of the signs below:

- You wake up and your skin is the same as the night before 

- Your pores look small or invisible 

- After washing, your skin looks red and sting 

- Your face usually feels pretty comfortable and soft 

- Your skin reacts adversely to certain products, especially those with alcohol, synthetics, fragrances, etc.

If you experience the above, you need to nourish your skin to keep it clean and healthy!

I've been using this toner for 2 months before going to bed. It helped me maintain that glow and healthy skin. I love that it is organic and affordable. I love that it has tomato extract in it. I do also LOVE that bubblegum scent it has! It smells so nostalgic because it reminds me of a Bazooka Bubblegum! Whenever I apply this on my face (neck and décolletage), it brings me back those memories! I consider it as my treat every night before going to bed. I LOVE that sweet bubblegum scent! I never expected such scent in this bottle.

HOWEVER.... the downside of the product was the stinging sensation. The first time I used this I was alarmed by that burning feel on my face. It wasn't THAT painful, but the stinging was there! I started to worry and checked if my skin had burns. I was sure I was looking at a Human Nature Nature product, so I knew I shouldn't worry too much, but still I need to look for answers online. Perhaps I was allergic to its ingredients? Whatever it was I immediately logged online for beauty reviews and checked their website.

From their website it says that it is completely NORMAL. They said:

What you've encountered is completely normal. It could be the cooling sensation due to the menthol that we added on the formula. Menthyl Lactate gives a cooling effect on the skin which helps close your pores even without the use of alcohol.

I find it hard to believe it was the menthol that started it all. Then again, that menthol added in their Human Heart Nature Nourishing Face Toner felt different from the toners I've ever tried! It was definitely scary that I thought it left burnt marks on my face after using it. But after 2 months, I have to say none of that happened and I'm thankful for that.

I really started to like this product. I could alternate this to my Human Heart Nature Hydrating Face Toner from time to time because I really loved them. But the stinging sensation from this toner left me hesitant if I should purchase it in the future.

UPDATE! October 11, 2013

There were two kinds of toner available a month ago: the Balancing toner and their Nourishing toner. I was running low on my favorite Hydrating toner, and I needed a back-up only to find they were out of stock. I grabbed this toner instead and hoped for the best! But surprisingly, after a week or two, I didn't felt any stinging on my face. Human Heart Nature must have changed the formula, or something. There's no irritation or rashes on my skin after use which is a huge plus! The bubblegum scent is still there which I really L-O-V-E. I now have two toners to choose from whenever I ran out of toner. I am happy whatever they did to this because it finally has loved my skin! I. LOVE. THIS. TONER. ^_^ If you are a little skeptical to use this toner, do a patch test first before applying this on to your face.

Price:

Php99.75 for the 100ml bottle

Php199 for the 200ml bottle

Do not forget to check for its expiry date; store the product below in a 35°; and, keep in mind not to let the product be exposed in direct sunlight.

ALL ORGANICS Rosehips Cream

I had to pick another moisturizing night cream aside from the Human Heart Nature Night Cream. I wanted to use a serum, but since I'm on a tight budget, I had to try something that is affordable till I found the All Organics Rosehips Cream in several kiosks in Manila and an online shop few months back. I would love to try a product with a rosehip in it, so I had to pick this one up and see.

Use daily as a moisturizer before bedtime. You will notice your skin get firmer and fairer. Helps lighten blemishes.  

Ingredients: Aloe Vera Leaf juice, Rosehip Oil, Seaweed Extract, Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate (organic emulsifier from Olive), Vitamin E, Green Tea Extract, Ginseng Extract, Avocado Extract, Gluconolactone and Sodium Benzoate (organic preservative) Olive Leaf Extract  

Php195 for a 30ml bottle.

I've been using this moisturizer for 4-5 months, and though I don't have wrinkles (yet), I can't much say such result regarding about smoothening wrinkles, but it is a good lightweight moisturizer. It comes in a small bottle with a convenient pump. If you smell closely, it kind of brings you back to a scent of a glue. Nothing alarming to the point to put you off!

It sinks in the skin quickly without any greasy feeling. After I apply a dab of eye cream and my toner, I apply a pea size on my face, neck and especially around my décolletage.

I never forget that area because it is one of the first signs of aging as well as the hands. Any product I apply that helps my face supple, I never forget my décolletage and at the back of my hands. I set it for few minutes to absorb and I top it off with my Human Heart Nature Night Cream.

What I didn't liked about the product, however, once the product almost runs out, it gets tricky how to get to the last drop because the cream sticks to the sides and the bottom of the bottle! I tried scooping it out but it is just difficult. I was thinking of cutting the packaging to get the rest of the goods! One of these days, I am going to cut this bottle in half!

I do also hope I may find a larger bottle of All Organics Rosehips Cream in the market. I find the 30ml just wasn't enough for me. It is a good traveling size though.

I don't rave so much on the product, but I find it okay. Helps keep the skin nice and fresh by morning.

STRIP-IT Hair Removal Cold Wax

I've been using Strip-It for 2 years now, and this is my review about this wonderful product! I had to stay away from razors and depilatory creams because the hair grows faster and thicker and can lead to serious darkening of the skin. I had to do something till I searched online and found this product.

Have a lighter skin that is silky-smooth and hairless for weeks! 

STRIP IT sugaring removes hair from the roots (epilating), thus hair is unseen from 2-4 weeks. With continued use, hair becomes sparser, softer, and finer. That is why it's preferable to shaving or using depilating. Since sugaring adheres tightly to the hair but not the skin as, so there is 50% less pain & discomfort than with other waxes.

Strip It will give you a clear, smooth & light skin. It also exfoliates by stripping off dead skin. It is laced with moisturizer making the skin soft. And the Calamansi lightens the skin! 

Strip It is an all natural , water-soluble, and hypoallergenic COLD sugar wax. NO HEATING is required. Get the great benefits of waxing while saving time and money!

I remember the first time I've used this cold wax. I still remember that fear I would go through just to get a smooth hair-free skin. I've seen people on television screaming after being waxed, and I thought to myself, "What in the world am I doing?!" But then, I read lots of raves from other people especially women who loved the product. If they could do it, why can't I? I ordered my first 200g tub online and hoped for the best.

I got my package days later: each Strip-It paper bag comes with: a tub of the wax, an instruction manual, a wooden applicator, and 2 Long sheets of Reusable Cloth (cut it to make up to 12 strips).

Since it was my first time to wax on my own, I had to read the manual a lot! It was frustrating how much product I wasted without even seeing the results. I even thought of giving up, but I knew I can't! My first waxing (at home) was painful. I had to scream if I must. My skin was reddish (normal reaction), but I got smooth skin like I always wanted. Every time I see those hair on the cloth, I was like, Ewww! It is so satisfying to see the hair down to the root.

In the long run, I finally got the hang of it. I can estimate the right amount of wax I needed and how hard I should exert effort to pull the hair out. I need to be patient, and eventually, realizing the pain was tolerable enough over time especially for a first time myself. There were times the tiniest hair could not be removed, and I had to ask for help. And no, I do not use it in my bikini area. That's a different story.

SUGAR WAXING TECHNIQUE:

• Make sure the skin is completely clean and dry.
• Powder lightly if skin is oily, and then brush it off completely.
• Hair should be at least 1/4 inch long.
• Apply Strip-It to your skin with the wooden spatula, in the direction of your hair growth. The skin surface must be flat so do this wile stretching your skin thus covering the full area.
• Take a cloth strip, press it down firmly onto the waxed area and rub for a few seconds only. Remember to leave a small space at the end of the strip for pulling.
• Hold your skin taut (stretched tight) so that all hairs will be pulled when you strip off the cloth.
• Then immediately strip off the cloth in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Do this rapidly but closely to the skin. *If the strip is removed slowly or sugaring stayed on the skin too long, the hair will not come off. Note that you need a little force in pulling.*
• If few stray hairs remain, you can re-wax or tweeze them.
• Wipe the skin with a damp cloth or towel afterwards to remove excess sugaring.

If redness and bumps occur, it should disappear within an hour. This is a normal reaction. As with any waxing treatment, some discomfort may be experienced. You may reuse the same cloth strip with the residual on it; soak it in water to dissolve the sugaring off. Rinse and let it dry. Do not scrub or wring.

Do not wash, use alcohol, creams, astringent or deodorant right after waxing. The pores are open at this time and may be clogged. It is advisable that you do the procedure after the bathing and before going to bed.

LOVE:

• That brown sugar scent it has! It feels I wanted to eat it, but I knew I can't!
• No heating required (A GENIUS IDEA!)
• Minimal pain over time of use
• Almost available anywhere in the Philippines
• Affordable
• That clean, smooth, hair-free feel afterwards
• Saves you time and money without going to a professional waxing salon
• Over time, the hair grew sparser and the skin is also exfoliated

NOT SO LOVE:

• Costly. You have to purchase a tub every month or so depending on your use to get rid of the hair.
• Time consuming
• Can be a little messy, but once you got the hang of it, it is no sweat at all
• Although I wanted to see a hair-free body forever, the hair will still grow. You have to wait for the hair to grow at least 1/4 centimeters before waxing

Overall, it was a good experience with the waxing right in the comfort of my own home. I always make sure I have a tub ready for me to use. If this is your first time waxing on your own, do not fear. I recommend this product to every one who wants to get smooth skin -- men and women. A sure must-have!

(I've been eyeing for their other variant, Strip-It Chocolate Sugaring as well. LOL! But, we shall see...)

Lotus Bloom Handcrafted Soaps Haul

My boyfriend was watching the television a week ago, and he saw someone introducing another kind of organic soaps. He knew how much I love it that he immediately called me over to watch the program. I instantly checked the provided website as soon as the segment was over.

He and I agreed to buy one soap for every line from the Lotus Bloom Handcrafted Soaps has. You realize how difficult it was for me to pick, and I wanted to try ALL of them, but later on I agreed and bought a soap of each. (Soon I will try the rest of their soaps from our next purchase!)

I haven't tried nor heard about Lotus Bloom Handcrafted Soaps, and I am excited to prepare the list for me to purchase online!

I bought four soaps and an aromatherapy balm: Amihan (Flower Show), Mari (Herb Garden), Yemaya (Almost Edibles), Sari (Fragrance Free), and Braveheart (aromatherapy balm).

Days later, our package arrived! And... OMG! On first impression, the packaging of their soaps are just all on effort -- and you haven't seen yet once the box is opened! One quick sniff and I was blown away how it smells really good! I mean, really! I've tried some organic soaps all my life and it smells nice --- but not as heavenly as this! It feels like I am inside a SPA right in the comfort of my home. I don't know if I was having an awful week, but the positive vibes in these soaps awakes and astounds me! The packaging also has an affirmation written on the side as well. (YES for positive vibes!)

The Lotus Bloom Handcrafted Soaps are mindfully and lovingly made by hand from luxurious rich oils of olive, coconut, avocado, rice bran, jojoba, almond and palm using only the traditional process in soapmaking.    

Natural ingredients used in our products have been chosen for their cleansing, nourishing calming and moisturizing properties to skin.

Wait till you see once the box is opened! Each of their soaps has a huge cut, wrapped by a beautiful paper, and the soaps (yet again) smells so nice! The ingredients of the soaps are just simply divine! 

I haven't used neither of the soaps yet.

[ FLOWER SHOW ]

Such a charming soap this is! Inspired by Amihan, the blithe goddess of the North Wind in pre-hispanic Philippine mythology, this bar evokes comforting tranquil scents to every Filipino who ventured away from motherland. Sampaguita's light, airy, uplifting fragrance is embraced by plant extracts of locally-grown healing Moringa oleifera.

I love that LOVE is written in the list of ingredients on the back of the product.
It really is a nice touch! Doesn't it bring a smile on your face? :)

The scent is simply fabulous. Makes me feel I am inside a kitchen; definitely reminds me of herbs. It has a nice uplifting smell to it too. I could rub it at night, feel the slight cooling sensation, and helps me drift away in my sleep.

I'm a (new) fan of Lotus Bloom Handcrafted Soaps! I am thankful my boyfriend happens to be watching television that day, or else I wouldn't know that these soaps exist -- positive vibes in a bar of soap and a small jar indeed! Can't wait to use these soaps! I will check their website in case they will have more soaps to be introduced in the market!

I really want to try their other soaps as well. :)

In the mean time, check their website and see if you might like... which I'm sure you do.

Milea All Organics Natural Avocado Natural Oil

I've always wanted to use a natural oil for my face, but I was skeptical to use such because I do have oily skin and it could cause more harm than good. I did my (mini) research online a year ago, and it turns out it has a positive effect for the skin.

While doing my online shopping, I decided to pick this MILEA Avocado Natural Oil and try it out. I know this is a "no turning back" experience once I bought it, but hey, this is now or never! Skin care is all about experimenting which product(s) suits your skin the most.

I love avocado! They are packed with nutrients, and has one of the healthiest fats around. I love it on my salad, for guacamole, or even eat it on its own. Seeing this in an oil form is a treat for me!

According to their website, this product is a/an:

After-Bath Body Oil; Food for Dehydrated, Undernourished Skin; Wound and Burn Soother and Healer.

Avocado oil penetrates the skin more deeply than other oils transporting nutrients through the outer epidermis of the skin and into the dermis. Great for mature, sensitive or troubled skin.

I bought it for Php190 in 30ml. I've been this for 2-3 months for my face and neck*, and all I can say is, my skin LOVED this product! It is greasy because it is oil, but despite that it is an oil, it didn't caused my skin redness, clogged pores nor break-outs. My oily skin is no hindrance for this oil! It did feel a little heavy on the skin, but I got used to it every time I use it. It made my skin dewy and hydrated from the inside-out! A little bit goes a long way!

* Didn't I mention I can be a little rebel when it comes to my skin care products? I prefer to listen what my skin needs; read the labels before I purchase, do a research online, and dive in what my skin needs the most. However, there is a separate oil I use for my body, but it still needs a little test drive before I do a full review about it. *

I like to use this product, whenever I feel my skin needs a boost after my bath, and when I am staying inside the house for the day. A little bit of oil glides smoothly all over the face and neck. It is oil, and I imagine how hard it is to have a shiny face out in the public; leaving the house with an oil on the face is a not a good idea. Plus, it doesn't have SPF (of course since it's OIL).

I just love this oil! Such a great find, for such an affordable and natural skin care product. This will surely last for me for few months. Worth every penny!

I do also want to try their other oils from MILEA... and I am thinking on going for the Moringa Natural Oil. LOL! Can't wait for that!

Human Heart Nature 100% Natural Moisturizing Day and Night Cream

Wanting to try these natural moisturizers from Human Heart Nature. Since I am getting into the organic vibe myself, I thought to give this a try.

I've been using this for more or less 5 months already, and I find both of these products wonderful for my skin. Please note that I do also have oily (non-sensitive) skin. And also, I do not have wrinkles (yet) on my face. I am very cautious on what products I use on my skin. I use the product not only to my face, but also to my neck and at the back of my hands -- I don't want to neglect these areas whenever I do my skin care routine, morning and night. I aim for prevention rather than cure.

At first glance, the packaging looks simple and classic. Both creams come in a convenient pump; 50ml (Php150) and a 100ml (Php250). It also keeps the product hygienic without the unnecessary dipping of fingers in a jar. The packaging is pretty much opaque, but you can weigh and estimate how much product is already left. You can also find an expiration date of the product near the cap (which I always always look for!)

I would first start the review for the 100% Natural Moisturizing Day Fluid with 15 Vitamins & Minerals.

According to their website:

How many vitamins are there in your current moisturizer? Just one? Our 100% Natural Moisturizing Day Fluid has 15 vitamins and minerals that give your skin the nutrient-boost it needs to start the day looking fabulous!

Plus you get an extra dose of Vitamin E, nature’s richest antioxidant, to help reduce the risk of sun damage. This light and easily-absorbed fluid goes on as smoothly as silk, so you won’t have that greasy feeling all day.

15 reasons to switch from your chemical moisturizer: Vitamin E • Vitamin C • Vitamin A • Vitamin B1 • Vitamin B2 • Vitamin B5 • Vitamin B12 • Vitamin D • Selenium • Lecithin • Magnesium • Calcium • Potassium • Iron • Zinc

It's ingredients are: water, dicapryl ether (vegetable derived), caprylic/capric triglyceride
(coconut derived), glycerin, glyceryl stearate, isostearyl hydroxystearate (vegetable derived), stearyl alcohol, Persea americana (avocado) seed oil, Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, Aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf juice, tocopherol acetate (vitamin E), tapioca starch, xanthan gum, glyceryl caprylate (coconut oil, palm oil and glycerin derived), fragrance (all natural), anisic acid (anise seed derived), farnesol and linalool

I love that it feels light, quickly absorbs, and it doesn't feel greasy on the skin. It is watery, and white in color. To me, it smells like sunscreen, but the product doesn't have sunscreen. I would suggest to use a SPF after applying this day fluid on the face. It is a good day moisturizer. Keeping the skin supple while topped off with vitamins and minerals throughout the day!

________________________________________________

Next, I am going to review the 100% Natural Moisturizing Night Cream with Plant Collagen.

According to the website: 

Skincare magic… while you sleep! Your skin absorbs the most nutrients at night, so let our 100% Natural Moisturizing Night Cream with plant collagen renew your skin while you’re enjoying sweet dreams. With a host of other skin-essential vitamins and minerals, our night cream erases all signs of fatigue and tired eyes as you wake up to smoother, suppler skin and a refreshed healthy glow!

It's ingredients are: water, isostearyl hydroxystearate (vegetable derived), dicapryl ether
(vegetable derived), caprylic/capric triglyceride (coconut derived), glyceryl stearate (vegetable derived), glycerin, Persea americana (avocado) seed oil, Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, stearyl alcohol (vegetable derived), Aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf juice, natto gum, tapioca starch, glyceryl caprylate (coconut oil, palm oil and glycerin derived), xanthan gum, fragrance (all natural), anisic acid (anise seed derived) 

  

This product help stimulate the regeneration of cells while on beauty sleep.

I love that it easily spreads and sinks on to my skin without that greasy feeling. It has that fluid-consistency. I love it keeps my skin moist, and the fact it has added collagen to replenish the skin. I also see to it that I get my 6-8 hours of sleep at night. I do not solely depend on the product alone. To me, the scent smells almost like its counterpart -- the day fluid, but it still is okay.

Keep both of these products away from direct sunlight, and store it below 35°C (95°F).

Overall, these moisturizers are so good on the skin; not only it has no harmful chemicals, but because it kept my skin feeling and looking fresh. It didn't caused me breakouts or redness at all. I love that I can find these almost anywhere in the Philippines! Very affordable as well.
