Charleston Naturally


I was sent these samples from Charleston Naturally a while back and have taken the time to try them all out on my horrendously dry skin {thanks a lot Utah!}.
They are all organic skin care products, which I was stoked about because my skin is so sensitive!

1. Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream Light
This is a face cream that I was excited to try, anything to help out those nasty 'lil dry spots is awesome.
It felt a little thick going on my skin, but then the face cream seeped into my skin which made my face totally soft! The smell of roses wasn't overwhelming, just nice & relaxing.

2. Dr. Hauschka Hand Cream
This too was a little too thick for my liking when I was putting it on.
But, after I rubbed in the hand cream it was very soft and pleasant.
It smelled super good, which never hurts!

3.Weldea Pomegrante Hand Lotion
Obviously I got a thing about smells, if you haven't noticed already.
This smelled deee-lish, wasn't very thick, and instantly felt soothing on my skin.
Definitely one of my favorite products of the bunch.

4. Sukifree Intense Nourishing Cream & Mask
After using the mask, my skin definitely looked clearer and felt soft.
The directions say to apply this product 2-3 times a week, which I think would make a significant difference in a person's skin tone when used on a consistent basis.

5. Verde Hand & Body Lotion
My skin stayed soft for about 3 hours after putting this cool lotion on,
which is a big deal especially in this dry Utah weather!
