Since deciding that I wanted to incorporate more natural products into my skincare and bath & body routines, I’ve been on the hunt for new products and it turns out ETSY is the MECCA of organic herbal skincare (total duh moment right?!).
The October Union is just one of the many shops I found and I couldn’t wait to test out their products.
I ordered the Herbal Steam, the Cocoa + Rose Lip Salve and a Botanical Perfume Sample Pack.
In the first installment of these reviews I will be talking about the Herbal Face Steam pictured below.
Bottom Line: THIS STUFF IS GOLD.
Background Info: I have combination oily acne prone skin and I am currently suffering from cystic breakouts on my jawline.
Ingredients: organic flowers, herbs, leaves, roots, lavender, peppermint, sage, comfrey, yarrow, elder flowers and rose.
Thoughts:
I was a bit apprehensive about the peppermint because I’ve used LUSH products before with peppermint and my face didn’t like it.
Per the instructions, I added 2 tablespoon to just boiled water and let it steep for 10 minutes. I then placed my freshly cleansed face over the container and covered it with a towel and stayed that way for 10 minutes.
When I was done my face felt sooo soothed, not just the outside skin but under the skin itself felt soothed if that makes sense? It felt like I had just gotten a massage & facial. It was such a relaxing experience and I didn’t even have to leave my house!
It was LOVELY.
It’s been a week since I first used it and I haven’t had any nasty reactions . I’m about to get another bottle for my sister because like I said THIS STUFF IS GOLD!
