I turned the dreaded big 3-0 at the end of October, and I was looking for a new beauty routine for nighttime. Like the rest of women on this planet, I’m terrified of wrinkles, even though some people still think I’m 19-21 lol! I just want to keep looking that young for a while ;) Needless to say, I welcomed Jacynthe Rene’s beauty routine with open arms, as I was intrigued by the cool apothecary look & the fact that the products are 100 % natural; no preservatives, no fragrance, no chemicals & not tested on animals! I tried the Beauty Essentials Set for about a month, which is usually a good period of time to gauge whether a product is good for your skin type or not! The results were nothing short of a positive :) Please take note that I have regular skin, it’s not acne prone & I’ve used these products as a night ritual only, although they can also be used during daytime.
Here is my feedback in order of steps I applied the products:
1- Cleansing oil:
It contains the following ingredients: jojoba and apricot oils, sea buckthorn CO2, bourbon, geranium rosa, ylang ylang and sandalwood oils. I applied it using a cotton pad; one pump was sufficient! Just press it against the skin to remove the makeup from the eyes and from the face. Honestly, oil is the best for removing makeup, so this works very well, no need to rub the eyes (a nasty habit I’m really trying to break, lol). You need to clean your face with a cleanser after to remove the residue, but it leaves your skin very soft. No irritation, no red sports; I like this a lot :)
2- Rose water:
Nothing to say in terms of ingredients, as it only contains rose water! It terms of application, just spray it on your face twice, that should be enough. It leaves your skin nice and fresh & it smells like rose :) Love this so much! It will probably also be my favourite in the hot summer days/nights, even those seem forever from now, lol.
3- Serum:
The ingredient list is as follows: musk rose oil, evening primrose, borage, buckthorn CO2, rosehip C02, tocopherols, tocotrienols, evening primrose CO2, oleoresin rosemary CO2, neroli essential oil, and neroli absolute. Apply the serum by rubbing one pump of the product in your hands and applying evenly to the skin. The serum is oily, so it’s best to apply a good 15-30 mins before hitting the bed! There is no fragrance injected into it as to keep it natural. The next morning, the skin feels very smooth & hydrated!
So far, no wrinkles! lol – crossing my fingers it stays this way & these products will definitely help to make this happen ;)
The full set costs $124 and definitely worth the investment!
