If an environmentally friendly Christmas with an offering of exceptional beauty products is the one to tick all the boxes for you, then Evolve Organic Beauty is definitely ticking those boxes.
A brand I have championed for as long as I can remember, Evolve has some of the most beautiful face masks I have ever used and as a brand they have such an incredible product range that I am delighted to be able to share just a few of them within this gift guide.
I am a sucker for beauty baubles and Golden Glow (£15) is the ideal stocking filler to give that Golden Glow and, if you love a face mask with a bit of sparkle, here it is.
Nestled inside the bauble is Bio-Retinol Gold Mask and the name suggests, this mask uses Bio-Retinol, which is a natural retinol-like plant extract from Bidens Pilosa which works to smooth the skin, plump up wrinkles, stimulate collagen synthesis and rejuvenate the skin, as well reducing the appearance of wrinkles and the production of free-radicals. This mask also contains both organic Argan Oil and Rosehip Oil which work together to really nourish and moisturise your skin, so it glows just as much as the sustainably sourced mineral Mica that has been used for the golden shimmers!
The second gift set is The Smooth & Soothe Duo (£20) and here you have two products to really give your face that lovely pampering TLC.
The first of the two products inside this gift set is the Rose Quartz Facial Polish (30ml) and it is described as being packed full of natural ingredients to help buff away dead skin cells, unclog pores and improve the appearance of scarring.
This exfoliator is so gentle on the face, so if you have sensitive skin or even if your skin is being sensitive, then this is a great exfoliator to use. It contains both Organic Rosehip Oil which helps to fight the signs of ageing by promoting cellular renewal, and Organic Hibiscus Extract which helps to break down those dry and dead skin cells to prevent future breakouts. Of course the star ingredient is the Quartz Crystal Particles which, - as well as helping to buff away dead skin cells and unclog pores, the benefits of Quartz particles, if you use crystals is also quite incredible because they are said to encourage people to open up their hearts and experience feelings of peace, trust and harmony as part of their journey towards self love.
I already absolutely love this facial polish and will be ordering a full size once I have run out.
The second product within this duo is the Daily Renew Facial Cream (30ml) and this cream, which I have used before, is described as being an organic facial cream that restores normal to dry skin with a blend of pure organic oils.
On the skin, this cream is lovely and luxurious without being overly thick. To use, you only need a walnut-sized amount to cover your entire face. Using Hyaluronic Acid helps to reduce wrinkles, making the skin look younger with an improved skin tone as well as offering intense hydration to skin cells. Argan Oil which nourishes and it helps to improve elasticity and leaves skin feeling plump and soft and because there is a light fragrance it comes from the inclusion of soothing hypoallergenic vanilla and coconut, it is an absolute delight to use.
The final gift set that I have to share is The Aromatic Body Duo (£32) and inside you will find the African Orange Aromatic Hand & Body Wash and the African Orange Aromatic Hand & Body Lotion.
This is a gift set that is suitable for absolutely everyone, especially if skincare is not their primary concern!
Starting with the African Orange Aromatic Hand & Body Wash which is described as being a refreshing hand and body wash to soothe and moisturise the skin. It uses both natural Coconut and Sugar Extracts to gently cleanse and maintain the skin's natural pH balance, Organic Aloe Vera which nourishes the skin and calms irritation. But that isnt all, it is also delicately fragranced with three key essential oils:
- Blood Orange Essential Oil which is used to promote the production of collagen as well as increase the blood flow to the skin. The aroma of Blood Oranges is also known to settle the nerves, relax the spirit, be uplifting and evoke cheer.
- Cedarwood Essential Oil with its earthy aroma that is soothing and grounding, so for those with anxiety and nervous tension, it is a great oil. On the skin, it is an astringent so it is great for relieving itching, soothing acne and breakouts plus it can be used on the hair and scalp too.
- Black Pepper Essential Oil, which is warm and spicy, has been known to help circulation especially in the skin and it can also be used to relieve sore muscles and joints. It also has good antibacterial properties and is a strong anti-oxidant and its aroma helps to create a more positive feeling.
It is absolutely delightful whether you choose to use it just for your hands or as a body wash too.
Then with the African Orange Aromatic Hand & Body Lotion, this product is designed to hydrate and moisturise the hands and body. Again with its lightweight texture, it absorbs into the skin in no time at all and as it uses both the Cedarwood Oil and Blood Orange Essential oils, their scent is absolutely delightful. The one change of ingredient with the lotion is the inclusion of Shea Butter over Black Pepper.
Shea Butter is an ingredient found in many moisturising and hydrating products and is often referred to as being a skin superfood and it is naturally rich in vitamins A, E and F. On the skin, it provides the essential fatty acids and nutrients which are necessary for collagen production.
Three delightful gift ideas from Evolve Organic Beauty and with many more in the offering which are all just amazing to give. If you fancy trying a lot more products from the brand, they have an Advent Calendar which is half price and is currently priced at just £76 and inside you get 12 days of products which showcases the brands best-selling and most loved products.
