There are some products that are just so nice to use, indulgent and luxurious and make you feel good when using them. One such product was the Africology gel cleanser. Africology is a South African brand of world class quality. The following was taken directly from their website.
Africology makes use of the healing essences of some of South Africa’s indigenous plants. The active ingredients in our skin care products are valuable in the repair process and assist with the restoration of damaged skin tissue. You can never be too young to start this preventative process skin care products have been developed to revitalise the skin and prevent damage done to the skin by free-radicals, stress and the harsh South African climate
Kind to you, kind to the world: 100% Natural Essential Oils, Natural Plant Extracts, Eco Friendly
If you have some time, go play around on their website. They have many other products and the website is delightful.
The following description of the cleansing gel comes from their website: Contains Quillaja extract and Soapwort, which are both natural, mild foaming and cleansing agents. On a metaphysical level, when the skin is reactive to emotional situations the brain sends signals that encourage protection, so the skin starts to secrete oil. When we remove all these oils from the skin by means of chemicals, the brain continues to replace oil, and so we keep on imbalancing the skin. It is better to instead work with the skin's natural oil supply rather than to erase it. Added seaweed extract maintains skin health and has a smoothing and moisturising effect. We want the skin to not only cleanse itself, but also for our gel to firm and stimulate the skin with its astringent properties. For oily, reactive skin.
Use daily in the morning and evening. Apply Gel to face with damp hands, avoiding the eye area. Remove with warm water. Refresh with Anti-reactive Tonic afterwards
The gel can be ordered from their website and is sold in certain spa’s. It costs R260.
My experience. I received a sample in a Rubybox. I was impressed by the quality of the sample. It came in a small glass bottle with a pump, 25ml. It looks like something that would be given as hotel toiletries (see my comments here on hotel toiletries) or sold in a travel kit. It was really a generous sample. The gel smells divine. It is a refreshing wake-up smell, a kind of kick start in the morning. It is quite a strong botanical smell. I would describe it as Aloe or maybe mint, but I am not sure whether I am right. It does not foam, since it does not contain harsh soaps. It does have a slippery, soapy consistency and feels like a soapy cleanser. My skin feels clean and tingly and refreshed after use without feeling dry and tight. I think this cleanser is perfect. The only downside: The price. Especially since I skimp on cleansers so that I can spend more on moisturisers, which I believe makes a larger difference in the look of your skin. I would love to try the rest of the range. If the cleanser impressed me so much I can only imagine how great the rest of the range would be.
