Reveal My Stash #2 - Skin Care: Cleansers, Toners, Moisturizers & SPF

And the reveal continues. I do have quite a bit of skin care, much of which I'm currently testing and haven't yet done full reviews of. Skin care is my life, that's the aesthetician in me speaking, and hopefully this will be a fun post for all you product hoarders junkies out there. 

CLEANSERS

One Love Organics Cleansing Oil was a wonderful Christmas gift from my boyfriend and is used to remove makeup. On days that I don't wear makeup or am in the mood for a double cleanse, I use *Antipodes Grace Gentle Cream Cleanser. *Therapi Rose Otto Honey Gel Cleanser and *Shamanuti Activated Charcoal Cleanser are not suited to my very sensitive and reactive skin right now. Although, I am using Shamanuti on my acne prone chest, shoulders and back. I usually don't have more than 2 cleansers going at one time or in my "stash", so this is a little excessive for me.

TONERS

Pretty Chamomile Facial Tonic is my morning cleanse, Graydon Face Food is my before oil/moisturizer skin prep and Andalou Naturals Illuminating Toner is my makeup setter, mid day refresher, and basically whenever toner. I love and use all 3 daily.

MOISTURIZERS

*SBT Seabuckthorn Tea Cream was my summer love but, it's not hydrating enough for my skin right now. It'll get used up as soon as it warms up, not that I have much left. *Therapi Orange Blossom No. 3 Honey Moisturizer is my current go-to day and night moisturizer. S.W. Basics Cream is used on any super dry patches day or night.

SPF/SUNSCREEN
 
*Graydon Sun Cream is perfect for the colder months because of it's moisturizing properties. I have been using it daily mixed in with the Therapi moisturizer and find the combination amazing. *Consonant The Perfect Sunscreen worked better for me in the warmer months, however, I find myself using this a couple of times a week mixed with the Therapi moisturizer as well.
 
My goal is to work through the cleansers, I'm quite happy with everything else and don't feel overwhelmed by the quantity. 
 
What's your stash like?

  1. Thank you so much for all the reviews you write! As a fellow Canadian who is growing increasingly interested in green beauty products, I truly appreciate hearing about both Canadian and non-Canadian brands. It's also nice to see what's available to us! I am definitely adding that Andalou Naturals toner to my wishlist on Well.ca. I sure need a mid-day spray refresher!

    1. Christine, thank you so much for making my day with this sweet comment. I'm glad that my blog and reviews are helpful. It's always nice to hear about what's available on our side of the pond, for myself as well. I'd love to hear how the Andalou toner works for you when you get it, the mist is perfection! xo

  5. That is a very neat little stash, I am impressed by the fact that you seem to use things up so well, I am terrible for using something until it's very nearly empty and then switching but still keeping the product :/ Xx

  6. I think we have a very similar skin type - I'll have to check out these products! I really want to try the Graydon face food. The Chamomile face tonic looks great. I too am a fan of using toners as my morning clease, so I'll have to check it out. Love these posts!

    1. I think we do too! We stick to gentle products because of how sensitive our skin is. I don't have dermatitis on my cheeks but I swear it feels like it sometimes. xo
