Gauging results
Try just a couple of products - maybe a cleanser and a cream - to begin with. You will be able to gauge results better if you are using natural and organic cleansers and moisturisers, rather than mixing chemical/synthetic ones with natural products. Also by limiting your buying, you are finding out in a cost effective way whether the range is good for you.
Skin renewal can take from two weeks to seven, depending on our skin’s maturity. Gauge the effectiveness of a product by using it over a goodly amount of time.
However, there are immediate results which can indicate the products aren’t working for you: for example immediate spots (too much oil), skin reaction (sensitivity), uncomfortably tight or dry feeling (not enough moisturising).
If you are susceptible to allergies or skin conditions, take a patch test with your doctor to find out what you may need to avoid. Natural and organic products use ingredients in their natural form, which means the effects are stronger. On the minus side, this means

‘I have been using the Marigold Cooler with Aloe Vera and Rose together with the Essential Daily Moisturiser. I love the rustic fresh grassiness of the Marigold Cooler. I am always cautious with my face creams as they tend to leave my skin looking oily. Although this cream is thick it absorbs quickly
leaving my skin with a lovely hydrated and soft matt finish. An aroma in this cream also reminds me of my childhood so using it daily makes me smile.’

that a sensitive response could well be stronger also. On the plus side, it means that a smaller amount goes a long way.
We use no synthetic perfumes, only essential oils for their gorgeous aromas and for their beautiful treatment properties: they can be of great benefit to a whole range of skin conditions. However, it seems that there isn’t anything on the planet that someone isn’t allergic to and this includes essential oils as well as the more well known ones such as nuts, so the responsibility must remain with you - which, as discerning adults, is as you would wish.
Please note that many of our products contain oils from nuts and kernels, and have been prepared in an environment where nuts have been present.
Always carry out a patch test on any new skincare products: put a small amount on the inside of your wrist or elbow, and leave for 12 hours. Any redness or signs of irritation indicate you should discontinue using that product. All clear? Go ahead and indulge.
