Recently I was lucky enough to win some La Mav goodies from Realize Beauty, a cosmetic chemist blog run by the lovely Amanda Foxon-Hill who presented to us at the Beauty Directory event for Clearasils Perfectawash.
La Mav was Australia’s first Certified Organic, anti-ageing skin care range. It is Australian made, cruelty free and gentle enough for even the most sensitive of skin. While these products are from the Age-Defence Series they are so beautiful and cleansing for skin I would recommend them to anybody.
While I try a lot of different products, I’ve recently found myself more likely to incorporate Organic products into my daily routine. While I have no preference in regard to Organic/Non-Organic products from a moral standpoint or otherwise, with my blog comes the opportunity to try so many different things, and these organic products are the ones that seem to really calm my skin down again after all I inflict on it!
The La Mav Sweet Orange Foaming Cleanser is one that certainly helped me out in this regard! Something set my skin off recently leaving me with a breakout of the sort I’d never thought I’d see past my teenage years and was quite likely due to a bad combination of products for my skin type.
This product is incredibly gentle thanks to it’s natural ingredients. There is a lovely smell about this product with the Orange, but it also contains things such as Aloe Vera, Ginseng, Sugar Cane, Papaya Extract Grapefruit, Kakadu lum, Rosmary, Goji Berry & More. It sounds like something you’d eat as oppose to put on your face! The product does remove makeup, but if you’re wearing a lot you will probably need to supplement it with something else. There is also a product in the range called “Hydra Calm Cleansing Crème” which I may have to get my hands on once I finish this off as it’s formulated with a focus on dry skin.
The Antioxidant Rich Nightly Repair Nectar is similarly delicious , containing Eight different flower nectars including Rose, Ylang Ylang and Neroli. This is not just amazing smelling but super hydrating. The consistency is that of Nectar – a slightly thicker consistency to your normal serum. If you’re used to using Rosehip Oil I think it would most closely resemble that texture.
It is one of those products you put on at night and you wake up and just want to keep feeling your skin! Soft, hydrated and fresh is how I’d describe my skin after using this product. It really is quite luxurious and my skin just seems to absolutely love it. I’ve previously loved and used Lancome’s Genifique but I have happily replaced it with this product.
The Antioxidant Rich Nightly Repair Nectar retails for 69.95 and the Sweet Orange Foaming Cleanser for 39.95. They are available online and in selected health food stores & salons.
Have you tried La Mav products before? Do you lean towards Organic products in your skincare or not have a preference?
