Review & Giveaway: Natural Skin Care Program

I’ve always had incredibly sensitive skin. I remember being a tween and, after going to the beach, breaking out into tiny hives. They didn’t have anything to do with the sun, though; the bumps were from an ingredient in the sunscreen I’d used. Everyone else that came to the beach with us was fine, but my skin was irritated.

There are so many things that can easily dry out my skin that is usually fine on other people, too. Even soap dries my skin to no end. I put on lotion (for sensitive skin) every day to combat this.

I was excited when the people behind Seabuck Wonders contacted me to do a review and giveaway because I’d heard about the goodness of sea buckthorn and it was all natural so I knew it would probably be okay with my sensitive skin.

They kindly sent me a full-sized package of their Natural Skin Care Program to review, and they’re giving another one away to one of my readers!

Think of it as a little late Christmas gift.

Review

The package arrived in the mail right as I was dashing out of my apartment to go to my hometown for the holidays. This was a lucky break, as I had locked the place up before checking my mail and had forgotten my normal skin care routine at upstairs.

My skin reacts to travel (even only 4-5 hours away from where I live) in a very unfavorable way, so I was a little nervous to try a new product with travel AND the introduction of new ingredients all at once.

I shouldn’t have worried about it, though, because I used it for my entire trip, two times per day, and it’s great!

The package comes with:

• Sea Buckthorn Body Lotion
• Sea Buckthorn Facial Cream
• Sea Buckthorn Facial Cleanser
• Sea Buckthorn Hydrating Serum

Sea Buckthorn Body Lotion

This stuff is thick and super hydrating. It’s not greasy at all and my elbows and knees loved it (a feat during the winter).

It smells great (somewhat citrusy) and you don’t need to layer on a ton of lotion, which is great; you can use it sparingly and it will go a long way. It seemed very fast absorbing, too.

Sea Buckthorn Facial Cream

This is the one that made me the most nervous. Nobody likes a breakout and my facial skin is by far the most sensitive skin on my body.

Much like the body lotion, this smells great, is fast absorbing, and is not greasy. I wore makeup on over top of it every day of my vacation and my foundation didn’t go anywhere. I even snuck some on my boyfriend and his face didn’t get shiny at all.

I actually got the facial cream fairly close to my eyes on one of the days, and it didn’t sting or burn my eyes at all. It’s gentle and didn’t give me any sensitivity, breakouts, or even any dryness.

Sea Buckthorn Facial Cleanser

This facial cleanser is fabulous. It is probably my favorite part of the package and has taken St Yves Apricot Scrub’s place as my favorite exfoliator. Like the rest of the product line, it smelled nice and was very gentle, and left my face very soft and smooth. It removed my makeup in the evening just fine and seems to be gentle enough to use every day, which was different for an exfoliator.

Sea Buckthorn Hydrating Serum

The serum was not something I used right away because I don’t typically use serum in my daily routine, but I used it before I went to bed a couple of nights and, true to it’s name, it was very hydrating. My skin didn’t rebel against it and it was light enough that I didn’t feel oily.

Giveaway

As mentioned, I’m giving away a complete, full-sized package of Seabuck Wonders’ Natural Skin Care program.

This includes full-sized bottles of all of the products I mentioned above.
