I'd like to share with you something "personal"... My Apivita milk cleanser!
I was getting sick of my make-up wipes; yes, they're easy to use but eventually I felt they dried out my oily skin. So this time I opted for a milk cleanser for taking off my make-up (I cleanse my face morning/night with this fabulous Body Shop gel cleanser).
Apivita's Personal range consists of seven fragrance-free basic formulas rich in natural composition to a level of 96%. Isn't that amazing? They are:
- Moisturising day cream SPF10
- Day&night cream
- Cleansing milk
- Tonic lotion
- Gentle shower gel
- Moisturising body milk
- Moisturising body cream
They can be used as they are, or you can add a choice of Apivita's organic essential oils according to your skintype or your current mood- hence the "personal" tag.
So I went to Apivita's counter at Hondos Center; you should see it, they have a special working area where they mix the formulas with an array of 24 essential oils! I wasn't allowed to take a picture, though :(
The sales assistant asked for my skintype, looked at my skin and fixed me the milk cleanser. My recipe? 8 drops of geranium and 6 drops of lemon.
At this point I should warn you: as the products are fragrance-free, they get the scent from the added essential oils. And I'm not talking about artificial scent, it's the real thing in all its heady glory! Surprisingly, this milk cleanser's composition smells like a turkish delight- and it's so intense that it almost gives me a headache! As for its cleansing properties, it's ok- a bit "runny" for my taste but nevertheless it performs well.
So, what do you think? Have you bought anything from Apivita's Personal range? Would you consider the addition of essential oils as a novelty or an unnecessary step?
Happy blogging and reading and commenting to everyone!

Ι have bought shower gels and body lotions, kinda expensive but very hydrating. This novelty sounds nice, how much for the milk cleanser? I use milk cleanser too, make-up wipes didn't work for me, they didn't clean properly my skin and they left it with greasiness, which I hate
ReplyDeletebtw, plz visit my new blog, I have a tag for you :) http://pinkfishandbeauty.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI paid 12,80 euros for it- not bad as I thought that the essential oils add to the price.
ReplyDeleteWow, a new beauty blog? I'm definitely following, it's so exciting!!!

Your own personal cleanser?! That sounds great!

@Marietta, παντού υπάρχει χώρος για λίγες σταγόνες αιθέριων ελαίων! Αρκεί να μην το παρακάνεις- οι οδηγίες που είχε μέσα στο κουτί τόνιζαν ότι υπάρχει όριο στις σταγόνες που μπορείς να εισάγεις σε κάθε προϊόν ;)
ReplyDelete@its simple love, Apivita is a great brand with lots of great products!
@This Is Me, glad you like it, too! I'm always drawn towards natural/organic products ;)
