A couple of posts back, I’ve spoken to you about a
wonderful event I attended which introduced us to Korres Skincare and their
Wild Rose Collection (click here to read it, if you haven’t yet). After we were
given a detailed introduction by the lovely brand manager of Korres Malta,
Stephanie, we were all super intrigued and thus, couldn’t wait to put the
products to the test.
I’ve been testing out these products for a couple of
months now, and I have to say, they do not disappoint!
Step 1: Korres Wild Rose Foaming Cream Cleanser
This luxurious foaming cream cleanser enriched with
Wild Rose oil is such a treat to the skin. I use it as the second step to my
double cleansing routine as I find that when using it, my skin doesn’t feel
tight or dried out but rather hydrated and soft. I apply it by first wetting my
face and then rubbing it in gently in circles to make it lather –a little bit
goes a long way so the bottle will last me quite a while. As soon as I pat my
face dry with a towel, my skin is noticeably brighter, fresher and cleaner.
Step 2: Korres Wild Rose 15% Vitamin C Advanced
Brightening Bi-Phase Booster
Vitamin C is a key ingredient to reducing skin inflammation and irregular pigmentation/acne scars as well as being an important ingredient for collagen production. The Korres Wild Rose 15% Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Bi-Phase Booster is a potent serum which helps your skin look brighter, smoother and generally younger.
I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant to use this
product in the morning because as a bi-phase product, it contains oil and I was
expecting to look like a greasy mess – but I was wrong. As soon as I tested it
out, I noticed that it gives my skin a luminous glow, especially when I don’t
wear any makeup as on its own it makes me look bright and fresh – and the scent
is just divine. Within the first week of incorporating it in my skincare
routine, I have noticed that when I have a bout of hormonal breakouts, the marks they leave
behind are lighter than when I didn’t use the serum – so I definitely recommend
it to everyone, but especially to those who suffer from acne-prone skin.
I apply it both morning and night after I cleanse my face,
on dry skin and wait for it to be absorbed into my skin before I apply the next
step.
As part of my morning skincare routine, after I let the serum set, I
conclude my routine with this moisturiser. It’s a lovely cream with a soft wild
rose scent, which keeps my face hydrated all day and keeps it protected from environmental
pollutants. I find that it’s an extra shield for my skin and together with the
serum it helps with brightening my skin and lightening the scars/marks I have.
Step 4: Korres Wild Rose Brightening & First
Wrinkles Advanced Repair Sleeping Facial
Believe me when I say, this product is so lush! The
texture is so velvety and smooth that it is indeed a facial in a jar. As you
might know, sleep helps our bodies recover and repair and since our skin is
also being renewed and repaired, skincare products used during the night should
help boost this function.
I apply this product as a final step to my routine
and I like to perform a small massage, to allow time for my skin to be soothed
and hydrated while the ingredients penetrate into my skin. This sleeping facial
is infused with wild rose oil which helps reduce redness and soften/prevent
fine lines while the Vitamin C, as I said earlier, helps brighten the complexion
which means I wake up with the softest and smoothest skin in the morning!
All products mentioned have a very high percentage in
natural content which means that the products do not contain harsh chemicals such
as mineral oil, parabens, synthetic dye, SLES etc.
