EcoGenics Skin Care Products Review

I have mentioned before that I am somewhat inconsistent with my skin care routine.  I enjoy changing it up quite often, in hopes of finding something that may work a little better.  SFR Beauty sent me some more products to try out and once again, I am extremely pleased.  SFR Beauty, an online beauty company operating out of San Francisco, California that sells a range of products from skin care to body and hair products internationally.  I did two guest reviews for them in the past, but this time I got to share what I think about these products on my blog.  Please check out my guest reviews "Indulge in Hawaiian Beauty Products" and "Forever Young With the Secret of the Himalayan Sugar Scrub" on the SFR Beauty Blog and “MoonEssence Skin Care Products Review” on Hello Miss Niki.


SFR Beauty never fails in sending me some pretty amazing products.  This time I had the pleasure of trying out a few products from EcoGenics Skin Care

This is a very gentle 2-in-1 cleanser and toner that feels wonderful on my skin.  This product contains cucumber, witch hazel, blue malva, aloe and lavender that soothes and keeps the skin's natural moisture.  What I love most about this product, is that the scent has a very subtle lavender aroma and makes my skin feel calm and refreshed.  I use this product in the morning and it instantly makes my skin feel alive after a long nights sleep.  


I have NEVER tried a skin serum before and I have to say, I want to stick with it!  A skin serum gives you those extra nutrients that go deep into the layers of the skin that regular moisturizer may not be able to reach.  Once I cleanse my face and pat my skin dry, I put this product this all over and let it dry before applying moisturizer. This product contains pycnogenol, echinacea, grapefruit extract, green tea and much more. It has a very cooling sensation and makes my skin feel smooth and firm as it dries.  I feel that this serum makes my skin appear more toned and reduces blemishes.  Furthermore, I notice my skin's texture has improved and feels extremely fresh.  

After using the skin serum, I follow up with this moisturizer, and it is fantastic! This lightweight formula is perfect to top off my morning routine.  With avocado oils and Vitamins A, D and E, this product is non-greasy and has a very subtle scent.  The only downside to this product is I like my moisturizers to have SPF and this one does not.  BUT, as long as I use a primer or foundation with and SPF, I will be just fine.  Either way...I LOVE IT!!!

I have never tried anything like this before.  When I first opened the package and saw this, I honestly had no idea what it was!  When I opened it, it smelled extremely fresh and sort of reminded me of a spa...and who wouldn't love that?? I swear if I had all the money in the world I would go to a spa everyday ::le sigh:: anyways (I digress), this stuff is pretty cool!  It smells like eucalyptus to me and but contains dried lavender, sage, peppermint, spearmint leaves and chamomile flowers.  


When you open the jar, it contains a tiny scooper.  The directions say to take some boiled water and put it in a heatproof glass bowl (I boiled water in a teapot and then put it in a sauce pot).



Once the water is boiled, let it sit for 5 minutes before adding 3 scoops of the herbal facial bath.  Take a towel, put it over your head and hover over the bowl or pot 8-12 inches away from your face.  Let the steam and aroma soothe your face for about 8 minutes (I did 10). 

About to get my face bath!!!

I felt like I was in a steam shower or sauna!  It was so cool and made my face feel soooo good!!!  I really did enjoy this and can't wait to do this again within a night of pampering.

Once again, I really enjoyed trying out these products and it made me skin feel fabulous!  The prices for these products are a bit steep and the products I would recommend most is the skin serum and/or the herbal facial bath.  I have to say I love these equally as the skin serum is very unique and the facial bath is just so much fun!
