IngredientsPurified water, geranium water*, jojoba oil*, corn-based emulsifier, thistle oil*, borage oil*, vitamin e, manuka oil*, rosemary antioxidant*, geranium, juniper*, lavender*

Usually I go for products exclusively for oily skin but as I’ve been experiencing a fair bit of dryness on my face lately, it’s been a good time to try a moisturiser for combination skin.

I’ve seen Pai Skincare in my online travels and read some very positive reviews, so it’s exciting to test one of their products.

Review: Maia Skin Care Range

Maia Skin Care RangeA few weeks ago, the lovely Sharon of Maia Skin Care introduced me to her gorgeous range of products. Though I’ve been suffering from a strange flare-up on my face for nearly two months now, I couldn’t resist giving some of the products a try and have been really looking forward to posting my thoughts here on the site.

I was initially drawn in by the lovely selection of essential oils that the range uses and the simplicity of the formulas. I also discovered that Maia products don’t contain beeswax – olive wax is used instead – and I was keen to see how effective this alternative ingredient was.

As I’ve tried out a total of seven products from the range, I’m going to do another mega-review, so make yourselves comfy and read on! :)

Review: Suki Pure Skincare Range

Suki Anti-Inflammatory Mini-Kit I first encountered the Suki range over a year ago thanks to the free samples that Debbie from Pure Skin Care often included with my orders. I did try them once or twice, but I think they just didn’t last long enough to wow me, plus the potential cost was a major concern. A little over a month ago, I was feeling a bit frustrated with my existing routine and Suki caught my eye again.

I decided to take the plunge and buy the anti-inflammatory mini-kit. Needless to say, I was very impressed and promptly purchased several full-size versions.

This is going to be something of a mega-review as I’m going to talk about all six products from this range that I use. So grab yourself a nice cuppa and read on!
