I thought a product review on some things I am using on my face would be fun. My favorite brand is Boscia, a preservative free skincare system. Now, I am not being paid in any way shape or for for this product review, if I ever am, I'll do full disclosure. I just *really* love this product.
For my daily face wash I *love* the Purifying Cleansing Gel for my normal-oily skin. My face feels so refreshed and bright and CLEAN. Which it most certainly is not after a day of Southern California air.
It cleans out so much from my skin and with it being preservative free,
I really like that I'm not putting any additional junk on my skin.Next up is their Clear Complexion Tonic (I also enjoy the fact they call it "tonic" and not "toner". It's so, Victorian-chic?). You mist this on your face after cleansing it, with no need for cotton balls which is much better for the environment. The less that goes into our landfills the better.
I love how refreshing this product makes my face feel. All tingly and
clean. It is chocked full of good stuff for your face. Listed on their
website, the ingredients are,"• Sasa Kurilensis Water, derived from bamboo, neutralizes blemish-causing bacteria and helps the skin’s natural ability to regulate sebum production.
• Willow Bark Extract, a natural Beta Hydroxy Acid (Salicylic Acid) derived from the Willow Tree, gently and effectively exfoliates to unclog and purify pores, and helps minimize dark spots from previous breakouts.
• Rosemary Leaf Extract, an effective antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, helps to firm skin and visibly reduce the appearance of pores.
This product also contains the following ingredients:
• Jojoba Leaf, a powerful antioxidant, combats free radical damage while it nourishes and protects skin to prevent premature aging, and Willowherb, a unique anti-irritant, helps to calm skin inflammation and reduce visible redness and irritation."
For which I must concur. Now, I don't at present use their moisturizer, the last one I tried didn't smell at all pleasant, and with a highly sensitive nose, I really don't like strong smells on my face. I use Oil of Olay for now, but I am thinking of giving Boscia another whirl in the future. The cleanser and tonic smell just fine, as do most, I just seem to have problems with moisturizers - Boscia or not.
The last product I wanted to share is my FAVORITE MASK EVER. It's their Luminizing Black Mask.
I recently tried it out and fell in love. I as, so far, lived up to the hype. It smooths the skin, made my face less oily and my skin was a whole lost brighter for it. Oh, and it took out so much junk from my pores!! I use this once a week and it's ghastly how much it still pulls up! I think the reason for this is because it adheres to your skin like a barnacle on a ship. Lovely image no? Also, it really is black. 
I will say this: they say not to put on eyes or lips and really, don't. It's a peel off mask and does it's job wonderfully, but you don't want to damage the delicate eye and lips areas. Remember? Barnacles? But god is it totally worth it. I've gotten more complements on my skin in the past month than I had in awhile. I know they are all pricey, but your skin is so important and for me to find a product line that works so well with it makes the price worth it to me. Of course, I am not a dermatologist, or any remote kind of Health care professional, or Beauty Guru or, really, anyone with any scientific knowledge of this product. I'm just sharing the things I use and love. I hold no responsibility for any shenanigans you may get up to.
Don't forget, tomorrow is Fashion Friday Challenge 2! I'm looking forward to it since I recently got in a piece of clothing I'd been wanting since, oh, last August. Tonight, however, is Book Club! Wine, good food, friends and books? I wouldn't be anywhere else.
....Except London or Paris.....but they feel the same way. ;) Have a great night and I'll see you tomorrow!
