The Best Skincare Products To Get This Christmas- Native Essentials Review

It's nearly Christmas in Hong Kong and it's time to go shopping for Christmas gifts! I really wanted to get family and I some really lovely treats, and this year I've decided to buy them natural skincare products as presents. I want to introduce you to some of the best skincare products that you can get this year from Native Essentials, a lovely Hong Kong organic skincare brand that sells some of the loveliest, gorgeous skincare products that I've ever seen.

A bit about the brand- Native Essentials is founded by Daniela Pelonara, who has a passion for creating natural, conscious and clean beauty products for everyone. Her brand's products are formulated without chemicals and artificial ingredients, and are powered by natural ingredients which nourish, cleans and refreshes the skin. Native Essential's collections are carefully formulated to tackle different types of skin. From dry to combination skin, their collection is curated so that every product complements and works well with the others in the range.

I'm excited to share with you some products from two of their signature collections. But first, take a look at what I got from Native Essentials below! 

My skin is really dry but oily in different places, so Daniela recommended that I try out their combination and dry product range. For the dry skin routine, I got to try out a beautiful SOLE Exfoliating Gel to Milk Mask, which can be applied onto the face to exfoliate, purify and remove all the dead skin on the surface of your face. I used this mask as the first step of my night routine and it was extremely easy to apply- all I had to do was put a small tablespoon onto my face, leave it on and wash it off afterwards. My skin felt really smooth and soft after the mask, and it's got a delightful smell.

After the mask, I applied the IIS Hydro Defense Serum which was a lovely, thick repair serum that contains a powerful, marine-based antioxidant complex enhanced by moss-derived active ingredients to protect your skin from urban aggressors and water loss. This beautiful serum felt really hydrating and smooth, and it is extremely effective against dry skin. I felt instantly hydrated from this, and it smells really good too!

Finally, any organic skincare routine is not complete without the facial oil. I applied the SHAANT Regenerating Luxe Oil onto my face after the serum, and it was really nice to see my face plump up instantly. The oil is made with a variety of nourishing oils including Rosehip seed oil and Marula oil, which are light and dry oils containing healthy fatty acids that protect against dryness and prevents wrinkles. This oil is extremely lightweight and felt very easy to apply, and instantly rejuvenated my skin.

I also tried out their combination routine, which included the NAA Skin Perfecting Serum that is designed to deliver a nutritious, super hydrating punch without the oiliness and stickiness that comes with serums you can find in drug stores. I really love the smell of the NAA serum, as it's fresh, sweet and refreshing. It's really effective against my dry skin as it really moisturises and rejuvenates my skin. This serum is made with Passion flower extract and orchid fruit extracts, which are packed with nutrients and protects the skin from free radicals. I love how the serum has a beautiful purple colour too!

I then followed it with the KORU Clarifying Dry Oil which is extremely lightweight, easy to apply and smell wonderful. This oil is special as it's inspired by New Zealand's native plants, and utilises a blend of fruity oils to create a special, fresh blend that really hydrates the face. It isn't too heavy and feels quite light, but it packs a powerful punch as my face was very moisturised with just 2-3 drops of this powerful oil. Best of all, each KORU is one of a kind as it is hand-blended exclusively with fresh natural ingredients that change in colour according to the batch!

I also tested out the HAE Time Release Light Moisturizer which was one of the brand's signature products. This delicate and lightweight moisturiser is completely organic and made with really powerful ingredients such as Inositol, Jeju Island Aloe Vera and Glycoin, ingredients which boasts powerful anti-ageing and cell-boosting properties. I love this moisturiser as my skin literally soaks it up, and it's really easy to apply too.

Overall, I think these products are fantastic and natural, and best of all they nourish the skin without using some of the harsh chemicals that are found in many other skincare products. The beautiful packaging, interesting colors and gorgeous smells of the products really stands out, and they are truly luxurious skincare products at a very affordable price. They would make perfect gifts for this Christmas, and I'd highly recommend Native Essentials to anyone wanting to get the perfect skincare set for a loved one.
