Aveda All Sensitive Moisturiser

Advantages: Works and feels refreshing.
Disadvantages: Cost

...One of my clients at the newspaper is an aveda salon, so I’m a little biased about the products even though I don't get staff discount! At the minute I’m currently a slave to clinique for all my face care products i.e. moisturiser, cleanser etc. But recently my pores have been looking a bit worse for wear and before I hadn't noticed anything like this on my face so anyway I was having a chat with the lady at the aveda salon and she asked if I used a toner I said I wasn't sure as the clarifying lotion I use by clinique doesn't seem to have a specific use. She recommended that I try the aveda toning mist and see if it makes any difference. I paid 5.50GBP for 50ml fof this product and I felt I was paying a premium for the packaging, it comes in a dark green glass bottle with a pump action spray for easy use. You can get it in 150ml...

Aveda products are very very gentle, they are all purely plant essence based and without a trace of a petro-chemical to be seen!! I have never experienced any sort of reaction from any Aveda product, and their Botanical Kinetics Hydrating Lotion is like a healing mask for my skin. I'd drink the stuff if I could!!! So what can I tell you about this wonderful... Read review

Advantages: it works!
Disadvantages: v.v.expensive

...As a sales rep for a local newspaper I have to visit lots of different customers one of which is a beauty salon who is a main stockist of aveda products. I’ve had lots of wonderful treatments there and have experienced a lot of aveda products. I find aveda products quite expensive but as they are all made of natural ingredients and not tested on animals then I don’t mind treating myself to something now and again. I bought avedas smoothing body polish because I’m going on holiday shortly and really need to get rid of that dry winter skin and also to have a go at targeting that horrible orange peel that seems to have adopted the back of my thighs!! What is it? ------------ Aveda smoothing body polish is an exfoliant for the body, which contains finely ground walnut shells, kelp aloe and lavender. The cream itself looks like mustard...
