When I found out that Weleda would be sending me the Wild Rose Facial Care Kit for my very first product review I was excited and unsure all at the same time. Excited because it's the first product review I have ever done. Unsure because I am not a big fan of roses. I know, shocking! A woman who doesn't like roses. Well, not exactly. I do like roses. Fresh ones that is. I have never been a fan of lotions, soaps and perfumes that are rose scented. It reminds me of the overpowering cheap rose perfume that my great aunt wore (good thing she has no idea I have a blog, let alone what a blog is or the internet).
Finally yesterday I received my Wild Rose Facial Care Kit for review and couldn't wait to use it but again was nervous that it would smell of old lady. To my complete astonishment when I opened the cleansing lotion and took a whiff memories of rose shaped hand soaps that filled my aunt's bathroom didn't dance in my head. Surprisingly it smelled of sweet delicate rose petals. Without hesitation I cleansed, toned and applied the night cream. My problem with most toners is that they sting and than my ubber sensitive skin turns bright red. Weleda's facial toner feels like you are literally patting on dew from a rose petal. No sting, no nasty alcohol smell and no redness. The night cream is just as amazing. Rich (but not oily) and velvety just like a rose petal.
Morning time arrives (5:00 am this morning) and my face is feeling hydrated. I look in the mirror and my skin is looking pretty awesome (except for the big zit on my forehead. I hear Weleda's Calendula Diaper Care zaps zits). Usually my skin is super dry in the morning but this morning this doesn't seem to be the case. Could this be from using the products only once? So I cleanse, tone and this time use the moisture cream. It's much lighter than the night cream which is perfect for day use and it distributes nicely so you don't need a ton.
The Wild Rose Facial Care Kit from Weleda is fabulous! I'm a new-ish mom and am 28 years-old. Let's face it my skin doesn't look like it did two years ago pre-baby. As a nutritionist I know what foods nourish my body from the inside-out specifically those who promote healthy skin. Unfortunately nutrition alone is not enough to feed your skin. You need high quality natural skin care products to feed your skin from the outside-in. I have no doubt that my readers would benefit from the Wild Rose Facial Care line. Try it! You'll love it!
