Clear Your Skin

I came across this product last weekend when my daughter and I were doing some shopping in town. I am a fan of skin products as we all know when you get to a certain age things don't seem to be as perfect as they used to be. My skin is always usually pretty good but I still used toners and face masks when I can to give my skin a little helping hand. I don't often wear make up either which helps my skin to look more natural, I only wear abit if I am going to a special occasions and even that is a very little amount. My daughter also likes all these products and as she uses a lot more make up than I do she does buy a lot of facial scrubs and toners. As we browsed through Boots on Saturday we came across this scrub from Simple. I am a fan of the company and have tried many other products of theirs before so thought that this wouldn't be disappointing. As my daughter has slightly sensitive skin she picked up this as it clearly said on the tube that it is perfect for even sensitive skin and has no harsh chemicals. After we got back from shopping, we both tried the product and were not disappointed by the reputation Simple has for its products.

Simple

As previously mentioned my daughter and I both use Simple products are have been impressed with them in the past. For those who do not know about this company, Simple is a leading brand in the UK and are called Simple Health and Beauty Group Ltd. They provide products covering health for your skin such as toiletries, skincare products and soaps. Simple have connections with the biggest retailers in the UK such as Boots, Superdrug and all supermarkets so you cannot miss their products. They have a high standard of selling and a very good reputation for selling good quality products.

The Simple Company have a motto if you like to call it that on their products and their website which is-

Simple Says- never use harsh chemicals, colours and perfumes.

- Settle for only the purest possible ingredients
- Natural beauty comes from goodness
- Trust the natural goodness in our products and even the most sensitive of skin can use them.


Their tagline which is used everywhere is- 'We believe in Goodness'.

The Simple Company was founded in 2000 so they are quite new compared to other leading brands but they follow the theme of natural beauty and goodness which I think is a very catchy theme.

The Product


Looks and First Impression

When we found the tube on the shelf I was attracted by the bright colour of it. The bottle or tube is a kind of sea blue colour which goes with the natural good ness theme and it made me pick it up out of all the other facial scrubs on the shelf. It comes in a 75ml tube which is in the flexible plastic so it is easy to squeeze out like many of their products. The company Simple logo is found on the front in slightly bold letters and is clear and easy to read which is good for those who already are familiar with the company to find their range.

There is not too much information on the front so it is not bombarding you with too much at once. I liked what it did include on the front though, the clear writing of- 'Oil Balancing facial Scrub' gives you a simple and clear description of what it is. There is also an ingredient name included at the top of the tube which is helpful in making people choose the product and promote their natural awareness. 'Witch Hazel Goodness, for healthy clear skin', this to me sounds refreshing, healthy and natural, as Hazel is very good for you.

Although I do not suffer with blackheads for those that do the tube offers another method to pull you in which is that they have a fact at the top saying that - '64% less blackheads in 7 days? I know this would be an ideal advantage to many teens and others who need to get rid of blackheads.


When I turned the tube over it had a few more reasons why you should buy the product. Promoting the goodness of natural health it clearly states that it includes Witch Hazel which I said previously is good for the skin and blemishes and it has a list of all the vitamins included which really helped me decided that this was a good product.

Using the Product

That evening when my daughter and I tried some we were very impressed.
As I squeezed out some of the product I instantly felt how cold and soothing it was on my hands. The liquid is silky and creamy and when I applied this to my face you feel an instant cooling on your skin. Has the product has no harsh chemicals it was very gentle and calming. The product is easily rinsed off with some cool water and I instantly felt that my skin was fresh and clean.

Ingredients

Aqua, Propylene Glycol, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Glyceryl Stearate, Glycerin, Oryza Sativa Germ Powder, Polyethylene, Dimethicone, Panthenol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Cetearyl Alcohol, Zinc PCA, PEG-100 Stearate, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate, Methylparaben, Benzophenone-4, Camellia Sinensis Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana Distillate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Dipropylene Glycol, Phytosphingosine, Sodium Benzoate, Anthemis Nobilis Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia Oil, Sorbic Acid

As mentioned on the back of the product it explains what some of the ingredients can do for the skin. The product contains natural Zinc which absorbs all the excess oil on the skin. The witch hazel helps reduce all of those blemishes and the rice powder which sounds odd I know, is the part that helps with the soothing and makes your skin feel soft and fresh.

Why Choose Oil Cleansing?


Oil cleansing provides you with clear, refreshing skin and helps fight against blackheads, blemishes, cysts and pimples. Washing away the dead cells and oil from the skin brings up the natural new clean skin and keeps those nasty spots away. The oil method is a great way to go and this product does not take away all of your oil as some products do. This product balances the oil levels so keeps the healthy oil needed and gets rid of the excess you don't need.

Results

Both my daughter and I were very impressed and happy with this product.
After using this, every day for two weeks my skins feels much cleaner and softer. My daughter says it is brilliant for cleaning dirt and removing any make up left on your skin. It leaves your face feeling soft, glowing and healthy and I would defiantly recommend this product to everyone even those who do not get blackheads like me. The product does more than that and it can just help you keep your skin in a tip top condition. I generally use this at night time before I go to bed to remove the dirt from the day.

Other similar products


Simple do a whole range of these products which can be found on their own website and I also had a look at the range on the Boots website. The Exfoliating Was comes in a 150ml tube and also does the same as this if you wanted another product to go with this one.

Availability

As mentioned before Simple products are one of the UK's leading brands so they are very accessible in local shops and supermarkets. I brought the 75ml tube in Boots for £3.75, but you can find it on the Simple website found at the bottom of this page and super markets such as Tesco's and Asda.
