Hi everyone.  Today I want to talk to you about skin care. But not just any ol’ skin care. I want to talk about Freya Luxury Scandinavian Skin Science  products. If you haven’t heard of Freya yet, you’ve got to check them out. Their products are reported to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by 48% after just 4 weeks. Um, yes please. Sign me up for that one.

While Freya offers an assortment of products, I was sent the Arctic Cleansing Water to review. What can I say? I love it! From the pretty bottle, to the product itself. Here’s a bit of info from their site about it:

“A beauty secret passed down through generations, Scandinavian girls are taught by their mothers to cleanse their faces only with ice cold water several times a day, which re-energizes skin and encourages blood flow. We’ve developed our Freya Arctic Cleansing Water to mimic the rejuvenating effects of this tradition with the necessary functional effects of an ultra-gentle cleanser, leaving your skin beautifully clean and refreshed, without drying it out. Arctic Antioxidants provide extra protection for your skin.”

The arctic water applies to the face with the use of a cotton ball. You just kind of rub it around on your face and neck and it works like magic. I have been using it once a day, after I shower and I am always amazed at how it always pulls more dirt out of my face every single time. Keep in mind, my face should already be really clean after taking a shower, but that just goes to show you how sneaky the dirt and junk can really be. Once you apply it, there is no rinsing. Just let it sit on your face. It doesn’t feel sticky or anything while drying. Just a cool, clean feeling.  Though I use it daily, I have found that it’s not drying at all.

You may be wondering, “What’s in it?” and that is a good question. I was glad to know that there’s nothing scary in it at all. Here is the ingredients list from their website:

    •    Aesthigel with Arctic sea salts & minerals: An effective and detoxifying skin cleanser and moisturizer
    •    Aloe Vera: An effective skin conditioning agent
    •    Caffeine: An anti-irritant. Caffeine also helps alleviate redness and reduces puffiness
    •    Cucumber Extract: A calming skin conditioner that offers strong moisturizing abilities as well as a mild astringent effect
    •    Chamomile Extract: A purifying skin conditioner that offers anti-inflammatory benefits as well as antiseptic and soothing effects
    •    Red Raspberry Extract: A skin conditioner that also offers anti-inflammatory properties

I also think that this would be perfect for those of you who go to the gym regularly or even camping. It’s a handy size for a normal sized purse to a gym bag, so it would be pretty convenient to bring with you on the road.

Buy it: Freya also offers products such as Intensive Anti-Aging Serum, Firming Eye Cream, Hydrating Day Cream and more. You can check out the entire line of luxurious products here.
