Hey Gorgeous Girls and Guys,
For the last two weeks I have been detoxing my skin and trialling Inlight’s Organic Face Cleanser and Organic Floral Face Tonic. Why? Well you can’t get far without hearing about how Parabens, Sulphates and Alcohols are causing havoc with long-term skin health, and as someone who likes to take care of their skin, all this hype can be a bit worrying.
So, I set out to find a more natural and harmonious solution for my skin and that was when Inlight was recommended to me by several people in the gorgeous spa and offices, so after a bit of quick research and some glowing praises from past testers:
“I have noticed an improvement in my skin since using both the cleanser and the face tonic, the dry patches on my face which I had been prone to as the seasons and weather change have definitely diminished…” AW, May 2009
“My skin was wonderfully soft and smooth and radiant. I really understood the concept of beautifood for the skin. My skin had been crying out for nourishment and it had been well and truly fed!!!” A McS, June 09
So the concepts of Inlight are; Beautifood, Cosmethics and Cosmedics, but what do they mean? In short, all the products are designed to feed the skin and add to its natural balance rather than taking away vital oils and goodness that some harsher chemical cleansers and toners can. All the products are Homeopathic, and many are Vegan and Vegetarian friendly too. None of the ingredients are or ever have been tested on animals, and to top it all off even those with particularly sensitive skin should be able to use the range without difficulty.
All the information seems to point in the right direction, but did it actually make a difference? Well, actually YES!
For the first week I cleansed every evening with the Inlight Organic Face Cleanser and removed it with a 100% pure cotton pad soaked in Inlight Organic Floral Face Tonic, and in the second week I tried just removing the cleanser with water.
I was a little sceptical at first about using the cleanser, particularly as the Inlight Organic Face Cleanser is infused with Coconut Oil and Shea Butter, and my skin is combination – dry forehead but oily nose and chin prone to blemishes. So the thought of putting oil-based ingredients on the oily areas seemed like the last thing that I wanted to do. But, I was assured by the lovely people at Inlight to put my trust in the product and give it a go. After the first week I had got used to the consistency of the cleanser and was pleasantly surprised about how clean my skin felt after use, it was really good at removing make-up residue, even my rock-solid waterproof mascara!! By the second week my skin seemed to be more balanced, the dryness of my forehead was greatly reduced and my nose and chin appeared more balanced, although my chin did have an initial hissy fit and a few spots burst through as a reaction to the change in my normal routine. These soon cleared up though.
I must admit that I did like the Inlight Organic Floral Face Tonic from the start, it effortlessly removed the cleanser from my face, and the Lavender, Rose and Cornflower floral waters have a refreshing scent. Inlight are keen to point out that the Inlight Organic Floral Face Tonic contains 100% certified organic agricultural ingredients, but due to the nature of organic classification the floral waters themselves cannot be classified as organic – not that you would even notice as you’ll want to practically bathe in this tonic.
So after my two-week trial I would say that I personally preferred the result when using the toner as my skin felt fresher and there was less residue, however, in the drier areas like my forehead it was better for my skin to wash it off with water.
My skin feels plumper and more balanced, and I am keen to keep using the duo to see the longer term benefits to my skin. As someone with particularly difficult skin, I would say that these little products rose to the challenge and with tons of cleanser and toner left in the gorgeous deep blue containers they are fantastic value for money too.
As always stay gorgeous,
