We have just brought in a new skincare line called Suki. To quote their website:
“We are the first to perfect uncompromising, advanced skin care solutions based upon the physiological equilibrium of natural pharmaceutical grade ingredients immersed in completely pure & organic bases. because our formulas are made from 100% high performance natural, organic, biodynamic & food grade ingredients, they are compatible to work in unison with the body’s natural biological processes.”
As most of you know, I am madly in love with Eminence Organic Skincare so I must admit, at first; I was not overly excited about another skincare line. Suki and Eminence have some similar qualities, but all in all, they are completely different lines……which is good. Nothing, in my opinion, compares to Eminence’s Treatment Masques. They are organic bliss and they truly change and correct the skin without harsh chemicals or additives. Suki only has two masques, and though they are very result oriented, I don’t think they stand up to Eminence’s Masques nor are they as much of a treat to use. I actually have to make myself NOT overuse my Eminence masques, I love them so much. Once or twice a week is the maximum for masking. However, Suki has some products that give Eminence some serious competition. Which brings me to my first Suki Product Review
I fight adult acne and congestion. Hormones are a big player in the fight so it is an ongoing battle. Using the best, most pure products out there have really helped change my skin. I will admit, while I was getting settled here in Virginia, I didn’t have the wonderful benefit of working at a fabulous Spa anymore, having top quality products at hand for myself, daily. So I skimped a little and tried some over-the- counter products. I’m not knocking over-the-counter products. But since using my beloved Eminence again, and now Suki, I SERIOUSLY see a difference in my skin and in the quality of products. So I’ve been eyeballing Suki’s Pure Moisture Balancing product. I love Eminence’s Blueberry Soy Night Recovery Cream, it is heaven to use and it keeps my skin looking radiant. I ran out of it, so I thought I’d give Suki’s Pure Moisture Balancing product a try. This brings me to the title of this piece…..I must admit, I was a little afraid of it. Why? Because it is an oil treatment……….yes, I said OIL! This is where the science of Suki stands out though. Our skin is comprised of oil…and congestion/acne prone skin types tend to either over strip their natural oil in hopes of clearing the skin, only to overstimulate the sebaceous glands, and produce more oil…adding to congestion or not use a moisturizer because they are misinformed and feel like it will “break them out” to use one. Suki’s Pure Moisture balancing treatment actually mimics our own naturally found oils in our skin and tells the sebaceous glands to “chill out” and not over produce oils that lead to congestion and sometimes manifesting break outs. In conjunction to the Organic Jojoba oil that is used, Echinacea is used and is a natural antibiotic that helps to heal and keep skin clear. Also, organic Chamomile has a serious calming soothing effect on the skin and is one of the key actives in this product. The following is the complete list of ingredients:
organic jojoba (simmondsia chinensis), sunflower (helianthus annus), grapeseed (vitis vinifera), rice germ (oryza sativa), borage seed (borago officinalis) & hazelnut (corylus americano) oils, 100% natural non-gmo vitamin e (tocopherol), organic calendula (calendula officinalis), lavender (lavandula angustifolia), chamomile (anthemis nobilis), echinacea (echinacea purpurea) & rose (rosa canina) extracts, aroma (pure premium steam distilled essential oil)
So I gave it a try. I used one to two drops (at night) after I cleansed my skin and toned. It definitely is unnerving the first time you apply it, even when you have the knowledge that this is a pure wonderful active product. It absorbed quickly and I must say, I LOVED THE WAY MY SKIN LOOKED after applying this product. My pores seemed finer and I had a healthy glow (not oily shine). My skin was not greasy at all! I awoke the next morning and no new pustules, just really pretty skin. I thought to myself, “hmmm, I can’t wait to use it again tonight.” I have used this product now for the past 5 days and I am a converted “oil at night” girl. After all, cream is actually a mixture of oil and water. Our bodies respond better to the pure oil than to a cream and now I am a believer! So FIVE stars to the Suki Pure Moisture Balancing treatment!!! I can’t believe I am going to say this, but you have taken the place of my Blueberry Soy Recovery Cream forever.
