Brand Focus: Nakin Skincare.
I am still totally overwhelmed and humbled by the amount of amazing brands who wish to work with me and have sent me their products to review. I am relatively new to the blogging scene (and am a contributing blogger on Boxession too!), so I am still very grateful that people care about what I have to say!
Nakin Skincare are one of these brands, and I want to send a special thank you to Cris and the team for collaborating with me here on Wellness and Weights!
They sent me a full size sample of their Advanced Cleansing Milk from their amazing range of products!
First, as I always do, I want to tell you a little bit about the brand, before I move on to talk about the product!
They are an award winning, luxurious natural and eco brand offering high performance anti ageing skincare systems, and made right here in Britain! Their ethos is all about Natural, so they utilise a range of amazing herbs and plants to promote healthy skin! They use powerful and natural ingredients with anti ageing properties, such as Hibiscus, Pomegranate, Seaweed and Hyaluronic Acid, as well as natural butters and oils. They are completely cruelty free and meet Leaping Bunny standards! They have no unneccesary ingredients or additives such as parabens, SLS, Petrochemicals, artificial fragrance or colours, PEG's or Propylene Glycol.
Cris herself founded the brand in the noughties, and she has since become a pioneer for natural skincare with her vision for effective products. She developed Nakin to help show that amazing results are possible without the use of artificial ingredients or animal tested products. All products are formulated to the highest standard, and their excellence has been recognised at the Pure Beauty Awards, where they received a nomination for 'Best New British Skincare Brand'. So you could say that they know what they are doing when it comes to developing natural skincare products!
As mentioned above, they were kind enough to send me some of their Advanced Cleansing Milk, and I have since received another in a beauty box I subscribe to as well, meaning I have twice as much to test out!
The first thing that struck me about this product is the very simple packaging. And this is not a negative! I think it really works, as they are all about being eco, natural and sustainable, so it totally makes sense that their packaging were simple and effective- it lets the product do all the talking! And talk it does!
I was so pleasantly surprised by the rich and luxurious formula, which was an absolute joy to apply to my skin. There was no fragrance to it, which I don't mind, as I dislike artificial fragrances in products anyway, and the formula is pure white, as there are no artificial colours either!
I applied it to my face, left it for a few seconds and then removed with cotton pads, before splashing my face with water to get any last little bits. My skin felt so clean, as well as feeling smooth and looking radiant!
This product deeply cleans to help remove your impurities and pollutants (and it removed my makeup very well too!). It is formulated with an active blend of oils, hyaluronic acid and extracts of pomegranate and seaweed to help even out the skin tone and help cells to renew.
Another thing I liked is that it is suitable for sensitive skin, as mine can sometimes be quite sensitive to certain things, so it gave me peace of mind that this would be gentle on my skin!
Gentle it may be, but it still packs an almighty punch, and it is now a staple part of my skincare regime! I tend to use it at night, as I like to use thicker and more luxurious products in the evening to leave them to work overnight. I can definitely feel the difference since I started using it, and recently had a couple of nights without it, and I could honestly tell that I hadn't used it!
You really cannot go wrong with this product, or the brand in general and I am so grateful once again to Cris at Nakin Skincare for taking the time to send this out to me!
