When I tried the Aubrey Organics Green Tea and Ginko Facial Cleansing
Lotion and Moisturiser SPF 15, I was, at first, rather shocked by the
colour of the products – a sort of golden muddy brown, rather than the
white I expected from using other facial care products. Then I thought about it, and realised that there is no reason at all why creams have to be white. In fact, if you think about it, the whiteness of most creams suggests that they are not natural products and possibly not best suited for my distictly lived-in and sensitive skin. The colour of the Aubrey products is part of their charm.
The scent of the creams is comforting too, citrus overtones with a rich, almost vanilla undertone. They need shaking before use, as they will separate when left standing. Again, when I thought about it, no bad thing too.
The cleanser was
very rich and a little goes a long way – on first use I put far too
much on and it took a couple of cotton wool pieces to make myself ready
for the next step, the moisturiser. This went on rich and creamy, but
was quickly absorbed, leaving my skin soft and ready to face the day.
It was nice to think that, should the sun blaze out, I was protected,
though these days, we seem to be more in danger of rusting than burning!I really liked these products and will continue using them as part of my skin care routine.
