The clutch contains the six most popular Soapwalla products in trial size:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Soapwalla Restorative Face Serum\" href=\"http:\/\/amazingy.com\/en\/organic-skincare\/oil-serum\/soapwalla-restorative-face-serum.html\" target=\"_blank\">Restorative Face Serum<\/a>, 7ml<\/li>\n<li>Luxurious Body Oil, 30ml<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Soapwalla Deodorant Cream\" href=\"http:\/\/amazingy.com\/en\/bath-and-body\/deodorant\/soapwalla-organic-natural-deodorant-cream.html\" target=\"_blank\">Deodorant Cream<\/a>, 15ml<\/li>\n<li>Almond Luxe Body Polish, 60ml<\/li>\n<li>Hand and Body Wash, 30ml<\/li>\n<li>Essential Facial Toning Mist, 30ml<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Instead of my usual face water and soap I had to rely on the Soapwalla products, and leave all other things at home. The skin care line of Soapwalla is suitable for all skin types, so I didn\u2019t expect any troubles there. Besides, trying out products while being on holiday is not exactly hard work.<\/p>\n<h2>From head\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>In the mornings and evenings, after cleansing (for which I use the great <a href=\"http:\/\/amazingy.com\/en\/organic-skincare\/french-pink-clay-konjac-sponge-puff.html\" target=\"_blank\">konjac sponge in pink<\/a>), I first applied the Essential Facial Toning Mist and then afterwards the serum. The mist contains hydrating rose water and soothing extracts of calendula and witch hazel. It cleans and tightens pores and refreshes the tired complexion \u2013 also in between applications. The scent might be something to get used to, but I\u2019m a fan of sprayable face waters in general, especially during the summer. If you use the mist as a toner, you won\u2019t even need a cotton pad.<\/p>\n<p>The Restorative Face Serum contains rosehip seed oil, the latest craze when it comes to skin care. This oil is rich in vitamins A and E and makes a potent anti-aging skin care product.<br \/>\nCarrot seed oil firms the skin, evening primrose oil soothes skin irritations, while almond, apricot and sea buckthorn oil supply the skin with moisture and soothe eczema and rosacea. After only two applications I noticed that my skin looked fresh, free from all blemishes. I assume that the sea breeze must have contributed to my skin clearing up as well.<br \/>\nNormally, I use jojoba oil for my facial care and I can confirm that the Soapwalla Face Serum gets quickly absorbed and leaves no greasy film behind.<br \/>\nAfter the serum I applied a bit of the <a title=\"Hiro Mineral Foundation\" href=\"http:\/\/amazingy.com\/en\/natural-mineral-organic-makeup\/hiro-mineral-natural-foundation\/?subcats=Y&amp;features_hash=V19\" target=\"_blank\">Hiro Mineral Foundation<\/a>, mixed together to get a\u00a0nurturing BB cream with SPF 30.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2026to toe<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve already been using Soapwalla\u2019s Deodorant Cream for a year now, and am thrilled about it. There is no other product alike on the market, so this natural deodorant is no longer a secret.\u00a0After an initial aversiveness to deodorant cremes, I was quickly convinced about this one: the pits remain relatively dry thanks to the clays it contains. Extracts of lavender, peppermint and tea tree keep bacteria at bay and provide a minty fresh scent. The deodorant is made without any type of aluminum salts, and is therefore indeed an anti-deodorant, but not an anti-perspirant.\u00a0With previous use, when I used the deodorant immediately after shaving, I had no skin irritations. However, everyone needs to try and test that for themselves.<br \/>\nA tiny amount of cream will last for an entire day, although you might need to get an extra dab during the summer. An intriguing image on Soapwalla\u2019s website reveals that soon there will be a new variant brought out, containing citrus. Yay!<br \/>\nWhat the boyfriends said: Even with manly hairy armpits the deo works it&#8217;s magic. The floury consitency is a little bit unusal but all in all this product is a great alternative to my spray-deo.<\/p>\n<p>The Hand and Body Wash is more of a 3-in-1 type of product. It can be used as soap, shower gel or shampoo. The blend of mild ingredients cleans without destroying the skins natural barrier, while lavender and eucalyptus soothe and relieve muscle tension.\u00a0I used the product as a shower gel: It got me clean, and made me smell deliciously good.<\/p>\n<p>After the Body Wash, I was pleasantly surprised by the Almond Lux Body Polish. This scrub consists of coarse cane sugar mixed with almond oil and spices, smells like Amaretto\u00a0and immediately made me crave tiramisu.\u00a0I applied the scrub while showering and as expected, my skin was left feeling beautifully soft and smooth. However, the product is not suitable for scrubing the face, since the sugar is too rough for the delicate facial skin.\u00a0For a gentle facial scrub I would recommend monthly enzyme peels without abrasive particles, as well as a daily, gentle cleansing massage with a konjac sponge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[row]\n[column size=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;] <a href=\"http:\/\/amazingy.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Soapwalla21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8670\" src=\"http:\/\/amazingy.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Soapwalla21.jpg\" alt=\"tasting Menu by Soapwalla\" width=\"2880\" height=\"2865\" data-wp-pid=\"8670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Soapwalla21.jpg 2880w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Soapwalla21-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Soapwalla21-1024x1019.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Soapwalla21-1920x1910.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mag.amazingy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Soapwalla21-800x796.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2880px) 100vw, 2880px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0[\/column]\n[column size=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]\n<p>After all the scrubbing it was time to get up oiled up! The Luxurious Body Oil contains jojoba, sunflower and grapeseed oil and Mowrah butter &#8211; ingredients that are all suitable for every skin type, providing the skin with moisture and at the same time locking the moisture in.\u00a0The essential oils of ginger, lemon and lemongrass give this oil a fresh and invigorating scent. The small pump bottle is great for getting out the right dosage without turning your bathroom into an oily mess.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not just feeling clean, but also neat and tidy and in good spirits, it was time for a walk on the beach promenade &#8211; sea air and seagulls squawking, and all was good in the world.\u00a0I can warmly recommened the Soap Walla Tasting Menu to anyone who\u2019s planning to take a trip.
