L-R- Elemis Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser ($47.00) and Soothing Apricot Toner ($33.00). Both items available on http://www.timetospa.com/
I have wanted the Elemis Soothing Apricot toner for some time now. I haven't used a toner in years and based on the reviews I read, I knew that this toner was the one to try. A lot of fans stated that it left their skin soft and was gentle to use. Aside from the toner I was also interested in purchasing a cleanser. I chose the Pro- Radiance Cream Cleanser. This cleanser is mentioned to not only dissolve dirt and oil but moisturize deeply. The Pro Radiance cream cleanser is also full of anti-oxidants. Elemis is currently available online to purchase at http://www.timetospa.com/ and is having a promotion where you can get both items (cleanser & toner) for $47.00!
The Soothing Apricot toner smells of you guessed it...apricots. The scent is very soft. The toner comes in a plastic bottle with about 200ml (almost 7 ounces) of product. The bottle does have a pump spray which helps reduce product waste.
The Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser (150ml) has a barely noticeable scent and the pump is easy to use. You can apply the cleanser to dry skin, rub it in and leave on the face for 1 minute. Afterwards, take a warm, moist washcloth and remove the cleanser. You would then follow this step by using the Soothing Apricot toner.
Elemis' website was easy to use and had super-fast shipping. I ordered my products on 3/4/11 and they were here on 3/7/11. As an extra bonus I was able to choose 4 free samples which are pictured below.
L-R- S.O.S Emergency Cream, Post Shave Recovery Mask, Daily Redness Relief and Herbal Lavender Repair Mask.
I did use the cleanser and toner this evening and so far, so good. Once I am able to use the Elemis products for a few weeks, I plan to do a full review. I will also lend my husband the sample of the Post Shave Recovery Mask since his skin flares up after shaving. Hopefully his experience will go well and I can include his opinions in the review.
Hi KJ,
ReplyDeleteI'm a long time Elemis lover-turned-esthetician. I recently heard that The Ritz was carrying Elemis in their spas and just googled to check it out. This is how I found your site. You will LOVE Elemis. Realizing how much I enjoyed learning about how the products affect the skin, I decided to change careers (at age 39) and become an esthetician! I can echo your dislike of fake people, onions, rudeness and wire hangers. I also share your appreciations... except for the "good tan". As an esthetician I must insist you go for a good spray tan! Enjoy your Elemis!!

Hi Debbie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. So far I really have enjoyed the Elemis products. My mother's friend, who happens to be an esthetician as well, speaks highly of the line. The toner I feel has been the best out of the two so far. I am wanting to try a good eye cream, so send me a recommendation if you've tried one that you like. Oh and I agree about the tan-spray all the way!
