Skin Free Skincare products are 100% natural and 100% non-toxic (as per Environmental Working Group evaluation). The Skin Free Extra Moisturizing Soap and Shampoo Bar has recently been awarded the National Eczema Association’s Seal of Acceptance.
Skin Free products were developed by Julie Hilton who is a compounding pharmacist and natural products manufacturer. The Skin Free products line were developed to be free from toxins, irritants, fragrances, colorants, petroleum derivatives and animal products; they are also affordable and effective.
Prior to hearing about Skin Free, I have been testing various over the counter moisturizers. I can’t afford the name brand products so I have been testing drug store lines that were under $30 to find a moisturizer that would agree with my skin and eliminate some of the problems I have. I have combination skin with a very oil T-zone. Add to that black heads, white heads and steadily enlarging pores and you’ve got me, a walking facial disaster at 45. Mind you, I have never been obsessive with my skin care. I was blessed with fairly good skin in my younger years. I didn’t ever have acne or the other problems that plague teens. Then middle age hits and BAM! everything starts falling apart. I noticed my skin started losing its elasticity (that’s a nice way of saying ’sagging’) and started losing its luster. Bottom line, my skin just started looking old.
Maybe if I took better care of my skin when I was younger I wouldn’t be having this problem now. But it’s too late for regrets now, isn’t it? All there is left to do is take care of what’s here and now. And in the ‘now’ my experiments with moisturizers were just not very successful. The last one I tried left a sticky, icky film on my face that felt like my face was a dust magnet. I couldn’t wait to get home at the end of the day and wash my face.
So when I got a chance to try out Skin Free, I chose to try out the Lite Moisture Cream Daily Use and the Nutritional and Anti-Oxidant Synergy for Face.
The Skin Free Daytime Light Moisture Cream is formulated to be beneficial for skin of all ages. It is a very light cream blended from organic extra virgin olive oil and macadamia nut oil to replenish facial moisture balance. I have been using it everyday and it’s perfect especially now that it’s hot. Even when I’m sweaty my face doesn’t get overly greasy. It feels light and I don’t feel like I have a mask on. This is exactly what I have been looking for!
Luckily, all Skin Free products can be purchased from CVS drugstores and Walgreens.
I also have the Nutritional and Anti-Oxidant Synergy for Face. Powerful essences are combined in this formulation to increase circulation, soothe sun damage and aging, and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It contains organic essences derived from oat seeds, sea buckthorn and red raspberry seeds which are all known for their soothing, healing and anti-aging abilities; suspended in organic macadamia nut oil and virgin olive oil.
I have been using the anti-oxidant once a week, on weekends when I do a thorough cleansing. It’s supposed to give your skin a more radiant and more youthful glow. I’ve only been using this product for a month, about three or four applications worth. I’m not looking like twenty something, but I can tell a difference when I do my weekend facial spa. I have syringoma on my face, right under my eyes. They are non-cancerous bumps like little benigncell towers that have sprouted up as I got older. There is no treatment for this other than to have them physically removed. Since I started using the Skin Free moisturizers, I’ve noticed that the bumps appear to be smaller soon after application. They eventually plump up as the day wears on, but this is still a better result than what I have been getting with other products. One product that I had to stop using immediately turned them red and raging! So overall, I am really happy with how Skin Free has affected my skin. I can’t wait to try out their other product.
