Simple Skincare Products

I just have to start this post by saying that I am a huge fan of Simple Skincare products! They do good for my skin and I "simply" love them. ;) I currently use Simple's Moisturizing Facial Wash, Replenishing Rich Moisturizer, Protection Light Moisturizer SPF 15, and Cleansing Micellar Water.

The Moisturizing Facial Wash has a gel-like consistency and if I'm being perfectly honest I don't quite know how to describe the smell, but it's not a bad one nor over powering. For those who are sensitive to scents and smells, this could be a big plus. This product lathers up pretty nicely and once I rinse it off, my skin feels very clean! What I really like about it is that it does the job without over drying my skin. For this reason only, it gets a big thumbs up.

 

I've had dry skin for as long as I can remember and most moisturizers that I have used in the past either don't moisturize my skin deeply enough or, if they are only intended for dry skin, they can be way too greasy. But the Replenishing Rich Moisturizer properly hydrates my skin without making it look greasy. As the name describes, this moisturizer is very rich. When you first put it on it feels very thick on the skin, but as you blend it in it absorbs very quickly and leaves your skin looking hydrated and very much nourished :) I absolutely love this product. I've repurchased it twice and I don't know what I'll do if they ever discontinue it.

The Protection Light Moisturizer SPF 15 is also a good product, however, I've never used it by its self. I basically mix it with the Replenishing Rich Moisturizer when I know I'll be in the sun. I mix the two products and apply as one layer, instead of wearing the moisturizer and then putting on the SPF. I do this only because when I put on any type of sunscreen after applying moisturizer, for some reason it starts to act as a scrub and completely takes off my moisturizer as if it were dead skin. I have yet to figure out why it does that, but for now mixing the two products is what works for my skin.

The Cleansing Micellar Water did not impress me at first. I use this cleanser right after I wash my face, using the Moisturizing Facial Wash, and since the Facial Wash does the job of removing all of my make up there isn't anything visible to the eye that the Cleansing Micellar Water would remove. So just like me, when you first use it you might think it doesn't exactly remove any make up, but if you actually use it prior to using a facial wash you'll be impressed with how much make up it removes. Not only that I've noticed that it hydrates my skin, something most cleansers don't do!
