Delight Touch Review

Hey girls and guys, I am back with a beauty review on some products sent to me by a brand, who wanted me to test out their items for you all, so I have used it a few times and already feel like sharing with you what I think of their products because I am so impressed with them.

hope you like the review feel free to leave any comments below and I will try reply or answer any questions you may have, or alternatively as most of you prefer you can email me.

About The Company

What Delighted Touch Say About Themselves.

For many years we have researched & adopted a healthy lifestyle.

We still enjoy a occasional drink & flavoursome food. However where possible we choose organic food drink & cosmetics over non organic, which can & does contain a whole heap of nasty toxic chemicals & ingredients. These nasty toxins over time break down your bodies natural defences to keeping you fit & well. We were shocked to find out just how much of these chemicals were added to top name high street cosmetic brands. So we decided to start making our own organic cleansers then moisturisers & things grew from there, as we searched for more unique herbal extracts from across the globe that would expand our range with purity & quality & so

CLEANSER

A lovely gentle cucumber cleanser made with organic ingredients that are kind to you're skin, I really enjoyed trying this not only did it make my skin soft it made my skin have a nice glow and really made my skin feel and look better even before putting my makeup on, and after putting my makeup on my skin still felt soft and cleansed, It defo gets my approval with been organic and cruelty free it is really kind to everyone, you and the animals etc.

Only downside for me was with not having much of a skincare routine already there was no instructions on the bottle so I had to ask the company how to use it, so for anyone who is not sure you pop it on your face then rinse it off.

INGREDIENTS

Aqua (Water), Ricinus communis (Organic Castor) Seed Oil, Cucumis sativa (cucumber) Extract, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Cocos nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Prunus armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Glyceryl stearate, Calendula officinalis (Calendula) Flower & Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Calendula officinalis (Calendula) Flower Extract, Prunus dulcis (Sweet Almond) Kernel Oil, Cetearyl alcohol, Benzyl alcohol, salicylic acid, sorbic acid, Aloe barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Citrus aurantifolia (Lime) Oil, Citrus aurantium dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Citrus Limon Peel Oil, Cananga odorata (Ylang Ylang) Flower Oil, Cymbopogon martini (Palmarosa) leaf oil, Ocimum basilicum (Basil) Leaf Oil, Pelargonium graveolens (Geranium) Flower Oil, Geraniol, Citronellol

MOISTURIZER

Wow such a gentle moisturizer absorbed very well into my skin although i needed a few more squirts to cover my face because it is dry, a nice feel of moisturizer to as some on the highstreet can be too liquidy or harsh on the skin with harsh chemicals etc, but with this one I didn't have a problem as mentioned it is organic and as natural ingredients that really do care for your skin Organic arctic oat and chia seed is a excellent choice for a daily moisturiser,

it improves skin elasticity and won’t clog pores.suitable for sensitive and dry skin.

INGREDIENTS

Aqua (Water), Oenothera biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Glycerin (Veg), Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Glyceryl stearate, Brassica Abyssinica, Salvia hispanica (Chia) seed oil, Butyrospermum parkii (Organic Shea) Butter, Persea gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Benzyl alcohol, salicylic acid, sorbic acid, Macadamia ternifolia (Macadamia) Seed Oil, Cetearyl alcohol, Aloe barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Avena Sativa (Arctic Oat) Seed Extract, Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Aniba rosaeodora (Rosewood) Wood Oil, Citrus medica limonum (peel) oil, Citrus aurantium bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Jasminum officinale (Jasmine) Flower extract, Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Oil, Linalool, Limonene, Geraniol, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Alcohol, Eugenol

Overall Verdict

Overall I am very impressed not only with delighted touch company but also their products too because All delight touch cleansers and creams are specifically ph balanced to the skin's natural ph. Not only this but the products are cruelty free meaning no harm done to the animals, I really love the cleanser as it is very gentle on my skin and does not sting like some high street cleansers do when I put on my face, so this is a far better cleanser for me.

I also love the moisturizer again very gentle on my skin and absorbed very well into my skin which is usually dry, all the ingredients in these products I tested have great benefits to the skin healing properties antioxidants etc so they are worth the price you pay for them.

As mentioned above the only downside to me was no instructions on the bottle to how to use the cleanser as like myself I wasn't sure to leave it on or rise off because I know every product on market is different so it might be useful for delighted touch to include some instructions especially for people who might be new to using cleansers etc.

Timeless Truth Travel Pack

Hello guys and girls hope you are all well and looking after yourselfs.

I am back with another review this time on a facemask which is much needed after having glue on my face over halloween with making my own scary makeup this year, also last night so I could test this product probably I broke one of the important rules of beauty, yes I slept in my makeup.

Anyway timeless truth have sent me this mask free of charge so I can test it.

please note this does not affect my opinion in anyway, all thoughts are my own.

know a few of you have been asking for a review on a facemask.

Anyway Here Goes here's my review on the timeless travel pack face mask.

If you have a questions please feel free to leave a comment after you read.

Oil Based Wipes.

The oil based wipes are for removing makeup there was only 2 wipes inside me been me and normally needing about 10 wipes to remove makeup normally i was very impressed to how i only needed one of these wipes to remove 99.9 of my makeup.

because it is oil based your makeup glides off nicely as well as making your face feel like it is soaking up all the oil making your face feel smooth if you have dry skin like myself.

Although the oil did get in my eye and stung and the oil on face can feel a bit much.

As you can see from the wipe its covered in filth yes makeup.

it has done a good job seeing as it's just one wipe I used

also in the video you can see how well its removes the makeup.

Water Based Wipes

The water based wipes are for moisturising the skin, again only 2 wipes which i was worried wouldn't be enough, i again only used 1 wipe which was great to know you don't need more.

I loved the feel of these more as it felt refreshing and made my skin feel fresh and clean.

As you can see from the video again easy to use I probably had a 1% makeup on my face still because there was a small smidge of makeup on the wipe after using it.

The Cotton Face Mask.

Where do I start ok There is only 1 mask in the pack which is ok, but if you're someone who like myself only uses 1 of each wipes and have left over you would be wanting an extra mask.

I will say been a newbie with these type of masks I needed hubby to help me, it was hard to apply well taking of the plastic was easy, but when it came to applying it to face then trying to find where to peal of the blue bit was hard because it is on your face you can't see that well.

prob didnt help i had oil in my eye from the makeup remover wipe.

Overall verdict

I am not 100% pleased with the mask if i am 100% honest,

Purely because it was hard to apply even with hubby helping me apply it,

with it been a travel pack I would expect it to be easier to apply as i found the plastic bit easy to remove. but when it came to putting it on the face then peeling of the blue layer it was hard.

however I am 100% loving the face the oil based makeup wipes remove makeup like magic.

no need for scrubbing hard just wipe over face and watch makeup disappear before your eyes, all through the oil can feel a bit heavy which is not a problem once you get to stage two the water based moisturizing wipes which make your skin feel fresh clean and awake.

so all in all I give this 5 out out 10 because the mask was the issue and the mask is the main part of the product that you would expect to be the best part, however if you are used to applying cotton masks you may have better result than me after all i am a newbie.

But the result i had was my skin feeling fresh, clean and a little more tighter.

this was a great morning boost for me a great start to my day leaving my skin feeling like it is ready for the day ahead so i am happy but just not 100% swayed into buying it again.

MY thoughts on exposed skin care

The company are based in the united states so I was abit worried about postage.

I was worrying that there would be high shipping fees etc due to customs etc,

Buy exposed skincare helped inform me that there would be no costs as they shipped via fedex.

Exposed skin care shipped the products swiftly and was very informative to any questions i asked about their products, they also told me which are good for what, although I didn't have acne they agreed to send me it anyway to show my readers what the products are.

But I will continue to use the products especially when i have breakouts.

My thoughts on exposed skin care products

They felt great on the skin, made my skin feel clean fresh and new.

Only thing I couldn't test how effective they were due to not having acne.

but I am happy with the products I received and think they are worth the price.

Overall Verdict

My Overall verdict on exposed  skin care and their products, is 50/50 im neutral on this one.

Purely because I can't test the product to full due to not having acne.

But they are decent products for the fact my skin felt better in general I am pleased.

Because my skin felt much cleaner without feeling clogged up with products I am slowly warming more and more to this brand.

However I do feel it would be great for them to have a wider range of products.

It would be amazing to see more products on the site in near future.

But regards to the company having shipped my product out quick,

The fact they do ship to the United Kingdom was really great as some overseas stores don't.

I was really impressed with the fact that the company answered any questions I had.
