Whilst a bunch of roses are beautiful and lovely to gift on Mother’s Day, they are going to wither and die very quickly. If you want to give roses to your Mum this Mother’s Day, then why not give them in the form of AA Skincare’s gorgeous Frankincense & Rose Hydrating & Toning Face Kit?
If you have never heard of AA Skincare, they are a natural skincare range from Amphora Aromatics that combines essential oils with classic natural ingredients such as Frankincense & Rose, Almond & Sandalwood and Seaweed & Aloe. With many years of experience in aromatherapy, they create affordable but also naturally effective products.
This is a truly lovely set comprising of three products from the Frankincense & Rose range by AA Skincare.
The Packaging
It’s presented in this elegant pouch, and the products inside are wrapped in delicate, soft yellow tissue paper. I really love the floral design on the end of the pouch too. It’s subtle and elegant at the same time.
What’s In The Box?
You receive three full-size products of the following:
- Face Gel
- Toner
- Moisturising Face Cream
Cleansing Gel
The Frankincense & Rose range is particularly suited to more mature and dry skin.
This is a really lovely gel cleanser, it has that subtle aroma of Rose extract and Frankincense essential oil.
Active Ingredients:
- Aloe Vera helps to calm and soothe the skin and has natural anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties
- Rose helps to moisturise and hydrate the skin. It can help with inflammation on the skin as well as redness.
- Geranium Essential Oil can help balance the oil production of the skin and help keep the skin supple.
- Frankincense Essential Oil is a rejuvenating tonic which can help to tighten slack skin around the face and slow down the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Glycerin has great moisturising properties, provides lubrication and smooths.
- Natural Betaine helps to balance and control the natural moisture in the skin. It’s firming and assists the natural self-defence mechanisms of skin.
I found it pleasant to use and thankfully, it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. Plus, it doesn’t leave your skin feeling tight either. My skin felt soft and looked quite radiant after use.
Face Toner
Toners are always one of those products that I tend to be wary of. I’ve experienced so many over the years that are harsh and drying to the skin.
This Frankincense & Rose toner leaves your skin feeling really hydrated though. It’s not harsh or drying on the skin at all.
Active Ingredients
- Rose Water – Rose has a strengthening effect on the underlying small capillaries within the skin, so it can help improve tone and texture.
- Frankincense Water – calming and balancing, Frankincense may help tighten slack skin around the face.
- Witch hazel – astringent, so helps to remove excess oil and can help treat skin irritations. Can help tighten skin and reduce inflammation.
- Honey Suckle and Japanese Honeysuckle – nutrient and antioxidant rich, anti-inflammatory.
- White Willow Bark Extract – astringent, anti-inflammatory and soothing – a natural exfoliant and helps clear skin pores.
- Pomegranate – natural antioxidant, helps to revive the skin.Oat Kernel Extract – works to soothe and moisturise skin.
With the same subtle rose scent as the cleansing gel, this toner works beautifully to hydrate, rejuvenate, and balance the skin. This also means, that your face is prepared for the rest of your skincare routine.
Face Cream
I actually reviewed this Frankincense & Rose Moisturising Face Cream last year, you can read my full review here.
This moisturiser is really lovely for dry skin. I love that it comes in a pump form too because it is more convenient and hygienic.
Active Ingredients
- Frankincense Essential Oil is a rejuvenating tonic which can help to tighten slack skin around the face, therefore slowing down the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Rose Essential Oil can moisturise and hydrate the skin, it can help with inflammation on the skin as well as redness.
- Geranium Essential Oil can help balance the oil production of the skin and help keep the skin supple.
- Argan Oil is intensely moisturising, a great antioxidant and contains Vitamin A & E which can help protect the skin.
- Vegetable Glycerine has great moisturising properties, provides lubrication and some of the smoothness of the cream.
- Ginseng extract is popular as an anti-ageing ingredient and is highly regarded for its ability to boost the naturally produced skin-firming collagen.
- Comfrey extract is thought to help reduce or prevent inflammation and contains allantoin which works to repair damaged skin tissue.
- Lavender extract is another natural antiseptic with good soothing and calming properties to help keep your skin in good condition.
- Chamomile helps calm skin and can aid the treatment of dry and itchy skin.
- Beeswax is a naturally powerful softener and moisturiser for the skin.
- Phospholipids act as a valuable anti-ageing ingredient due to their ability to help lock in moisture and help your skin stay hydrated.
- Retinyl Palmitate helps regenerate the skin and acts as a gentle exfoliator.
- Beta-Carotene is effective in helping the skin to regenerate and in treating dry skin.
- Sweet Almond is rich in Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and E. It’s full of monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids. It conditions the skin and helps to promote a youthful, healthy complexion.
- Glycerin has great moisturising and hydrating properties.
This is the perfect product to follow on from the toner if you want to stick to a really simple but effective and beneficial skincare routine. It really does plump up your skin and therefore makes it look more radiant. A nice creamy texture absorbs easily and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling on the skin.
Overall Thoughts About the Hydrating & Toning Face Kit
The Frankincense & Rose Hydrating & Toning Face Kit by AA Skincare not only looks beautiful but is very affordable too. It really would make a fabulous Mother’s Day Gift, heck, even treat yourself to it. At just £21.50 it is a bargain!
I would be thrilled to receive this gift set for Mother’s Day and I am sure so would a lot of other mums too. Just hop over to the AA Skincare website if you want to order this, or any of their other beautifully, natural products.
