Review: The Body Shop Seaweed Clarifying Toner + Mattifying Moisture Lotion


I've already said it, but I'll say it again - I love this stuff. The Body Shop's seaweed range has been a real life saver for my face. After using these products, my skin has improved tenfold. I highly recommend these if you have acne prone skin, scarring or just want your complexion to improve.



The mattifying moisture lotion is a re-purchase. I bought it about 6 months ago for my birthday and have used it everyday since. I love that it has SPF (you really need it in New Zealand), it hardly has any smell, and it sinks in quickly which is super handy for those mornings when you wake up 10 minutes late. I would consider trying other brans in the future but this is the one for me right now.

It is perfect for oily skin too (why I originally bought it) because, as it says in the name, it reduces oil on your face during the day and keeps your face matte and fresh. I can quite honestly say that it was a life saver when my face used to be overly oily around my nose. It did what it said it would so I highly highly recommend this for anyone wanting a light moisturiser, a mattifying moisturiser or one that will improve your complexion over time.

Now, the toner. I used to use Witch Hazel and Rosewater (pharmacy brand) which was cheap and worked well but I decided to try something different after my flatmate took a liking to it... Firstly, I love the smell of this. It's not fragrant or anything, it's slightly seaweed-y but fresh and awakening. It feels lush on my skin and makes me feel more awake in the morning after I've used it.

I've already seen improvements in my skin - probably because this helps to get all the makeup off at the end of the day. My stubborn scars are fading and in the morning, my skin looks brighter too. I haven't been using this for long but long enough to know that it was worth it. And for $20NZD it was a bargain too.
