Faith in Nature- cruelty free, vegan, natural!

Reviewing Faith in Nature
Heather at Faith in Nature was kind enough to send me their rejuvenating facial wash, revitalising body lotion, and restorative hand cream to review! Phew, that’s a lot of goodies!
All three are vegan, and none of Faith in Nature’s products are tested on animals. The ingredients are naturally sourced, and they’re paraben and SLES free! Parabens are widely used as a preservative, but have been linked to skin sensitivities, and SLES is a commonly used foaming agent that has been linked to skin irritation. I think the less chemicals, the better, so the lack of these two ingredients is a thumbs up!

All the products have a similar undertone to the scent (although they are perfume free), which is a sort of fruity and lemony kind of scent. It’s not very strong at all, and is pleasant. Ingredients include aloe vera, Shea butter, hemp oil, and rosemary. I love being able to understand the ingredients listed! 

The Body Lotion was the first thing I tried, and it’s lovely! The handy pump-action means lazy people like myself will bother moisturising! A little goes a long way, and there’s no weird residue left like with many body lotions I have tried. As I’ve mentioned, there’s also no added perfume, so you don’t feel like your body lotion is over powering you! I recommend you try this one out! 

The Facial Wash was also a nice surprise. My face gets really dry and is sensitive, as previous readers will know by now! After working up the courage, I tried this wash morning and night for a few days. It didn’t foam up as much as I expected, but then it has no SLES so it wouldn’t. It still made my face feel fresh and clean, with no tightness, and no drying at all! My skin felt really soft afterwards! The only down side for me was it gave me a couple of spots on my cheeks, but since there’s only about 3 products in the world that don’t, this was actually quite a mild reaction for me! It won’t stop me from using the product.

The Hand Cream has to be my favourite product. My hands get a bit dry in winter, as most people’s seem to, and this winter has been particularly bad. The back of my hands were itchy with dry skin, and red from me scratching them. After one use of this hand cream, the itching was almost gone and my hands looked better. 3 uses later and they were back to normal! That’s what you want from a hand cream! I also find when using hand creams, that your skin tends to become even drying once the cream has worn off. The opposite was true here, and I actually haven’t had to use any for almost a week now! Everyone in my house has tried this, and they all love it!

I haven’t cleaned the lid so you can see how much use I’ve got out of this. You can also see not much has gone from the pot, meaning it’s going to last a while!
I will definitely be purchasing this hand cream once mine runs out! Check out the website, and let me know which ones you’ve ordered!
