Review: Innocent Oils Angel Face Scrub

Aubrey Organics Calaguala Fern ShampooPrice: £5.99 per 30g (refill available for £4.99)
Rating: 5 Hearts
Link: http://www.innocentoils.com

Ingredients: Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Montmorillonite (French Green) Clay, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Ground Almond), Lavender Flowers, Lavandula (Angustifolia) Essential Oil, Chamomile (Anthemis Nobilis) Essential Oil, Geranium (Pelargonium Graveolens) Essential Oil

I tend to exfoliate with a plain loofah, but a few months ago I decided to try something a little more luxurious for special occasions. I was drawn to this product because of the mix of oats, clay and almonds - other scrubs tend to have only a single exfoliating ingredient.

Review: Earthbound Organics Rose Cream

Earthbound Organics Rose CreamPrice: £16.50 for 50g

Ingredients: rosewater, rosehip oil *, marshmallow oil *, borage oil *, sesame oil *, local beeswax, grapefruit seed extract *, rose essential oil.
* = Organic ingredients

I was also tempted by the inclusion of borage oil, which has helped my acne in the past. I liked this product so much that it has now replaced the Akamuti cream altogether.
