Aurelia Probiotic Skincare

I've heard of Aurelia Probiotic Skincare for a while now and it has always intrigued me especially as the packaging is so adorable and we all know that I'm a sucker for packaging! Also I am always on the look out for natural skincare as that is what my dry, sensitive skin seems to like (it also seems to like expensive skincare which isn't great for my bank balance). 

Aurelia Probiotic Skincare uses botanical formulations with probiotic technology to manage inflammation, a main cause of skin ageing. Aurelia Probiotic Skincare is fantastic with regards to their cruelty free and environmentally friendly ethos and they only use high quality ingredients - they don't use parabens, mineral oils, silicones, synthetic fragrance, colours or sulfates; for the full list check out their ingredients policy. 

*Aurelia Probiotic Skincare Cleanser

The cleanser contains an essential oil blend of chamomile, rosemary, bergamot and eucalyptus as well as vitamin B5, shea butter and vitamin C. The cleanser smells really nice, it is smooth and gentle on the skin and it leaves my skin feeling clean and comfortable but not stripped or dry. To me it is a natural, effective but basic cleanser so if that is what you're after then this might be one to check out. Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5.

*Aurelia Probiotic Skincare Revitalise + Glow Serum

My skin seems to have fallen in love with this serum! It doesn't irritate my skin in any way (I even think it's potentially helping get rid of or at least really hydrate my eczema) and it leaves my skin so moisturised and smooth so much so that I sometimes forget to apply my day/night cream. Although unlike all other serums I've used, it sinks in almost immediately and leaves no slippy or greasy residue. I will be buying the full size as I've almost finished this sample even though it's pretty pricey! Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5. 

*Aurelia Probiotic Skincare Firm & Revitalise Dry Body Oil

I'm not a massive fan of body oils, even though they can feel very indulgent and luxe, as most are so greasy and take ages to absorb into the skin; this one however is fantastic! Firstly, the scent is gorgeous - floral, sweet but musky, earthy and natural, in my opinion. The oil instantly alleviates the look of dry skin and once massaged into the skin and absorbed, after a few minutes, it actually doesn't feel greasy. I don't noticed any firming effects but it is the nicest dry body oil I've used! Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5. 

*Aurelia Probiotic Skincare Cell Repair Night Oil

During the colder months facial oils are a must for me as my skin becomes incredibly dry and dull. I love the dropper packaging of this facial oil and the scent is just like the other products - relaxing, natural and musky. I've been using this night oil on the days when my skin has been drier and it really helps keep my plump, smooth and moisturised. Once applied to the skin it does feel like an oil on the skin and that may not be wanted by some but I don't mind. I use the excess oil on my hands to massage into my cuticles. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5. 

Overall, Aurelia Probiotic Skincare products all are so indulgent and almost therapeutic to use, not only as they are gorgeous natural products but also because the scent of the range is so relaxing and calming, to me anyway! I'm so impressed with the samples I've tried that I will have to buy the full size of the glow serum and potentially the body oil. 

I also received a few samples from the brand Living Nature which is a New Zealand based natural skincare brand. I've tried their Sensitive Cleanser, Sensitive Hydrating Toner and Sensitive Day Moisturiser. The cleanser is a basic, no fuss cream cleanser and the toner is the same - perfect you want a basic skincare routine suitable for sensitive skin types. My favourite sample was the Sensitive Day Moisturiser, it didn't irritate my skin and it gave my skin a much needed moisture boost without leaving my skin feeling/looking greasy.
