Amie Skincare

Amie is a British skincare line that has officially made its' way over to Canada! I've been trying out four products from this range, and today I'm here to tell you all about them. I was really excited to try out this line because their products are all free of SLS, parabens, animal extracts, and mineral oils. This line isn't tested on animals, and the products are, on average, 95% natural. Off to a good start, aren't we?!

I've tried four products from Amie, but I'll start with their Radiant Dawn Exfoliating Facial Wash* ($10/150 mL). This product comes in a light green tube, and the cleanser itself is a green gel with exfoliating bits. This cleanser has a clean scent, and offers a light, gentle exfoliation. 

I've been trying out two moisturizers from Amie. Their Morning Light Hydrating Daily Moisturizer* ($12/100 mL) comes in the pink bottle, and the product is a pinky white colour. This has a scent that I don't particularly love, and I'd say that it smells a bit like alcohol. This formula has a gel-cream consistency, and gives a nice boost of hydration while still absorbing into the skin quickly. 

Amie's Morning Dew Matte-Finish Moisturizer* ($10/100 mL) is packaged in the yellow tube, and the product itself is also a pale yellow colour. I much prefer the scent of this lotion (light and a bit powdery), and I find that this formula leaves my skin feeling softer. As the name would suggest, this moisturizer sinks in quickly and leaves my skin nice and matte. I think that oily skinned girls (and guys) would love this mositurizer!

Lastly, we have Amie's Spring Clean Deep Cleansing Mask* ($12/100 mL). This mask comes in the blue tube, and the mask itself is also a pale blue colour. This is a clay mask, so it will harden on the face as it dries. I would recommend using only a thin layer, as this mask is very invigorating. The scent is very minty, and I find that this formula is cooling on the skin. I like to leave this mask on for only 5-10 minutes, as the cool, minty sensation can get a bit overwhelming. This might be a bit too intense for those with sensitive skin. I do find that this mask helps to draw out impurities, and my skin is left feeling refreshed and cleansed. 

Overall, I think that this line has some great affordable options available - nothing is over $12! My favourite products were the scrub and the mask, but I'm also wanting to try out the brands cleansing wipes & toner! Have you tried any products from Amie?
