Herbs & Heart - Morning greens: the breakfast skincare regime! - Elixir & Aloe Whip - review

​Herbs & heart are an Australian artisan organic skincare company.  They create stunning natural eco luxe products.  They are one of my top natural brands, if not at the top! Check out my review for their mud mask, which is my favourite mud mask by the way! 
​
As soon as you hold the bottles of lotions and elixirs in your hand and apply them to your skin you’ll see why I rate their products so highly.  The packaging is eco-friendly, made with glass and are recycable.  I also love their presentation with their stylish black and rose gold labels.  All ingredients are ethically Australian sourced and vegan. 

There’s just a special touch of magic when using these products, it’s easy to tell that they have been created with the very best intentions for our health and beauty.  I love the healthy ingredients and the uniqueness of some of the more exotic ingredients.   

​I would describe their products as ethically elegant with a touch of hippy. 

Herbs & Heart realise the importance of green ingredients for our skin and have created a two-step skincare routine using naturally sourced green foods to nourish and protect our face.

Elixir - Anti-oxidant rich serum + make-up primer 
​
This exotic elixir is absolutely stunning, the jasmine extract makes this magical elixir smell so divine and luxurious. Jasmine actually helps to even out skin tone and heal skin, it has so many amazing beauty properties, on top of smelling so heavenly.  Another key ingredient is green coffee bean, a powerful antioxidant which helps to soothe puffy eyes and under eye dark circles, which is exactly what I have been looking for in a product.  This particular type of  coffee bean contains the wrinkle stopping amino acid GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid).

This elixir definintely does what it states, it manages to reduce puffiness  and and I can use it close to my eyes without feeling any irritation.   I have very sensitive eyes, so this is how I know a natural product is truly 100 percent pure, when my eyes don't sting!
 
It can be worn under make-up as a primer and I’ve noticed this really helps my foundation glide on more smoothly and look more natural, particularly my under eye concealer.
 
Also contains the rich natural fatty acids from avocados which give skin a naturally plumping and toned feeling and an overall feeling of regeneration.  It even contains tiny gold mica to make skin look even more radiant, just dab it on all over your face, it sinks in nicely and you only need a tiny bit.  
 
This elixir not only makes my skin feel so soft, but it makes me feel like I’m in an exotic beauty salon in the tropics, I feel like it is healing my skin every time I apply it and the beautiful soft incense scent lifts me away to another place.
 

Aloe whip - skin repairing moisturising cream 

This ultimate moisturiser is the perfect creamy conisistancy I want in a moisturiser without the heaviness.  It feel like a lightly whipped cream of silky lusciousness.

​It contains camellia (tea seed oil), which has been a beauty secret of the Japanese, used for centuries in Japan by geishas, it is high in oleic acid and squalene, which help to keep skin feeling supple and young, softening fine lines and wrinkles.  This is what I love about these products, the ingredients are so unique and different to other every day lotions.
 
Also contains oats which help to form a barrier on skin to seal in moisture allowing the other ingredients to do their magic!  it's a very soothing and calming ingredient for skin and helps to undo UV damage.  
 
The aloe is another powerhouse ingredient packed with vitamins and mineral to help your skin breathe and hydrate at the same time.  Aloe vera contains Giberellin which stimulates the growth of new cells.  Aloe is just one of of my favourite ingredients of all time, it's so soothing and healing.

The scent is light and natural with a hint of vanilla.    It glides on effortlessly and doesn't leave any residue. Using this with the elixir is a perfect combination to helping keep my skin look naturally smooth and moisturised.

As you can tell, I am a huge fan of Herbs & Heart.   Their products are ethical, cruelty free, completely natural and just make my skin feel amazing :)
