Aromatherapy Associates Rose Exfoliating Cleanser Review

In true Aromatherapy Associates style, the Rose Exfoliating Cleanser is packed full of essential oils which not only feed skin, but provide a relaxing, soothing fragrance.

Geranium is a key ingredient in this beauty product as it’s widely renowned for its healing properties and encourages the regeneration of skin cells. It also works in harmony with the second ingredient, jojoba beads, and soothes skin.

Aside from soothing, Jojoba beads are also one of the best, if not the best, natural exfoliators as they are rounded and smooth. With no sharp edges, jojoba beads offer a gentle exfoliation and won’t create micro-lacerations, which can damage skin and cause fine lines.

The cleanser itself has a creamy texture that feels instantly hydrating and doesn’t leave skin feeling tight or dry afterwards. Although the cleanser can be gentle enough to use everyday if you’re suffering for excess oil or concerned with uneven texture, those with sensitive or dry skin should only use it twice a week.

Aromatherapy Associates Rose Exfoliating Cleanser is £23.50 and is available from Aromatherapyassociates.com.

Rating: 8/10 – Keeps skin feeling soft and smooth without drying it out, although one a week a more abrasive exfoliator is still needed.

Aromatherapy Associates Overnight Repair Mask Review

Frankincense is a key ingredient in Aromatherapy Associates Overnight Repair Mask and gets to work relaxing and rejuvenating skin while you sleep.  Mixed with rose and strawberry seed extract, frankincense also provides the strong aromatic scent, and fatty acids, which repair skin and work against anti-ageing. 

The mask itself is clear, so it won't come off on bed sheets and you don't wake up looking like a zombie.

For the best results exfoliate beforehand and keep the product on overnight.

Without a doubt skin feels nourished and tighter in the morning. While the packaging suggests leaving the mask on after waking, skin does feel fresher after going through your regular morning beauty regime.

Aromatherapy Associates Overnight Repair Mask costs £46, which is expensive especially for 50ml, but a little goes a long way and the results are worth it. It is available at Aromatherapyassociates.com.

Rating: 9/10 - I use this religiously every Sunday night to give my skin a fresh start each week.
