Skincare Regimen

Hey everyone! I have not been on here in what feels like ages and there is so much to write about. But first I must tell you about my new skincare regimen. I started using Evan Healy Skincare. You can learn more about it at http://www.evanhealy.com/  This is a wonderful company that is fairly traded and uses the best ingredients possible to restore balance in our skin. Here is a little on blurb taken from the Evan Healy website, "We source our pure Facial Tonic Hydrosols from a few select small, organic farms. Each batch is delightfully unique, much like a vintage wine. Each reflects the magic of the crop, the year, and the land from which it is harvested. This is the charm of using fresh pure plant waters. For instance, our lavender hydrosol smells like the authentic lavender plant itself, and not a synthetic fragrance approximation. It is warm and herbaceous with a slightly sweet honey-like note." This is very true. When I use the Rose Geranium Facial Tonic Hydrosol it smelled like real rose not the synthetic aroma you find in other products. I was first introduced to a Tea Tree Cleanser by Evan Healy a few weeks prior to using their Balancing Rose Kit (which I will tell you all about below). I was LOVING the Tea Tree facial cleanser. I used to look at washing my face as a chore everyday because I wasn't that excited about my cleansers. But the Tea Tree cleanser left my face so awake, refreshed, and clean that I actually couldn't wait to wash my face when I woke up and before I went to bed. In fact I couldn't wait to get home everyday just to wipe off my makeup, and wash my face to feel the refreshing feeling again. I noticed it reduced the size of my pores right away and it lasted. I started to receive compliments on my skin again! If you know anything about Tea Tree you know it can smell harsh and actually be rather harsh for the skin. However, Evan Healy has created my favorite facial cleanser and that is the Tea Tree cleanser. Because I loved this product so much I was willing to try one of their kits. There are 3 main kits. They are outlined below:



Rose Treatment line helps re-establish a healthy hydro/lipid balance to combination skin. It is also appropriate for mature skin with fine lines and wrinkles. Our Rose Line features gentle and balancing essential oils of rose geranium and carrot seed.

I was originally using the Tea Tree Cleanser which usually comes in the Blemish kit or you can purchase it separately (like most of the items). I really don't have blemishes on my face, only once in a while. So I was willing to try something else. Sometimes I have sensitive skin but I decided to go with the Rose Kit.  What I noticed about the Rose Kit is I don't like the facial cleanser at all. I tried it for three days and it left my skin with an uncomfortable and slight tingle. Now, like I said I have sensitive skin sometimes. I am not a fan in general about Milk Cleansers because they tend to feel filmy. What I can say is it was the best Milk Cleanser I have ever used in the sense that it left the LEAST AMOUNT of film on my face. I realize some people swear by these type of cleansers, if that is there preference then they should give it a try. So what I did is went back to my tea tree for the rest of week 1. I still used the other items in the Rose Kit. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Rosehip Treatment serum (which you mix with the hydrosol) and then follow up with the lotion. Their lotion is probably my all time favorite. It is called the Rose Vetiver Day Moisturizer. It makes my skin feel completely hydrated and supple. One thing I was warned about with the Tea Tree cleanser was that it might be a little too harsh in the winter since our skin tends to become dry during the winter months. I think I agree. I think I should try and use their cleanser from the sensitive kit. I plan to pick that up next week sometime and blog about it. I have yet to try the Clay Mask which I heard can revitalize your entire skin in as little as 3 weeks. My favorite part about this product line is that you can mix and match and find what works best for your skin. I love their pholosophy, how they help women, their mission, and the high quality of their ingrediants. I know when I am using an Evan Healy product on my face that I am using the most organic, healthiest, and sustainable product on the market. You can't beat that!  I will finish blogging about Evan Healy in the weeks to come at TiaraMag.net Our writer at Tiara Magazine, Amruta Gadgil, has started Even Healy with me as well. Her blog will also be posted at tiaramag.net  P.S. I bought my kit at WholeFoods Market! Just a little FYI =) ---Sherrie Gearheart
