Clean Green Skincare- Mini Review

Have you noticed the last time I posted? OMG! It was agessss ago. No apologies for being so slack though! I have no idea what I was upto. I was busy.. definitely busy.. but didn't achieve anything! So got no excuse! Anyways, I'm back & back with a giveaway. BOOM!! You guys keen to try some really awesome NZ made, natural n organic products? I recently tried a NZ company "Clean Green Skincare". They are based in Wellington and are passionate about all things natural. I tried 5 of their products as sample sachets for myself and loved them thoroughly! If you have read my previous post 25 Things Part-1.. you'll know I'm a natural products freak. I love my oils to the moon n back! I'll definitely be purchasing full size bottles of some of the samples. Here's the mini review of the one's I tried.

Giveaway details at the end of this post. Here's how these products fared-

1.) Organic Nourishing Cleanser- This smells like my green tea (lemon + ginger flavor!)! It's white colored, creamy in consistency, doesn't lather at all, very mild, should suit all skin types- sensitive as well. I suggest removing your makeup prior to using this as it's quite mild but very effective indeed! It doesn't dry out my already parched skin. Must try if you have super dry skin!

Ingredients:  Pure NZ Spring Water, Organic NZ Olive Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Rosehip Oil, Organic Glycerine, Eco Certified Geogaurd, Eco Certified Lauryl Glucoside, Palmarosa Essential Oil.

2.) Organic Nourishing Face Cream-  A very humble looking white colored cream that packs a punch! It seeps into skin beautifully, in seconds and makes it all smooth. It smells very herbal but not overpowering at all. It's a perfect day as well as night cream. Worked really well under my BB cream. I'll be looking into buying this one as my everyday moisturizer!

3.) Organic purifying Cleanser: This one is less runny than the nourishing cleanser. I found it more heavy duty than the nourishing one, doesn't lather as well. It's got tea tree oil so will work perfectly for acne-prone skin. Loved it! Worth every penny I say!

4.) Pink Clay Mask: Contrary to its name, its brown not pink. It has a lovely silky texture, manageable consistency (almost gel like) and goes on real smooth! Its definitely moisturizing, dries in bang on 10 minutes as it says on the packaging. When its on your face, gives you warming sensation. You'd definitely feel like its doing something to you...! I just wanted to close my eyes, lie down and enjoy the feeling! Its like pampering yourself. The warming sensation stops when it dries. Easy to take off with water but its reddish brown in color so make sure you clean up your sink immediately! It imparts a subtle glow to the skin that lasts for 2-3 days. Highly recommended!

Ingredients: Pure Pink Clay, Pure NZ Spring Water infused with Certified Organic Ginseng Root and Certified Organic White Tea Flowers , Certified Organic Jojoba Oil, Certified Organic Aloe Vera, Certified Organic Lavender Essential Oil, Pure Grapefruit  Essential Oil.

5.) Muscle and Joint Rub- My favorite amongst all the samples I tried. I thought it's for arthritis n such (It is btw!) so didn't use the sample for ages. Days later, after one hell of a busy day, I had strained shoulders. It was quite uncomfortable and I couldn't go to sleep. A bright idea struck! How about trialling that sample I have.. It did say anti-inflammatory something on it and boyyy! I was impressed. I massaged it on my shoulders for like 2 minutes. Its a white colored cream. It smells like Vicks vaporub and feels like Voltaren. You know what I mean? It has a warming sensation that relieves pain in minutes and eases all the muscle tension. So very soothing! My shoulders have never felt that relaxed. I'm sold on this one..
Jamie.. Send me one of these please?

Ingredients: Pure NZ Spring Water infused with Certified Organic Calendula Petals, Certified Organic NZ Olive Oil, Certified Organic Cocoa Butter, Eco Certified Emulsifier, Pure Menthol, Certified Organic Lavender, Pure Wintergreen Essential Oil, Pure Peppermint Essential Oil, Pure Arnica, Eco Certified Geogard
