Dermalogica...But im biased!!
For moisturiser couldn't fault Miessece, for body soap etc I'm happy with Natural Instinct. I use their facial cleanser as well.
I buy the big litre bottle of Natural Instinct for the kids bathroom - it's really nice. (But I am hung up on "Love My Hair" for me)
I also use Natural Instinct hand wash in the soap dispensers around the house.
I buy my soap from The Natural Foodstore - I love Sandalwood so I get a really yummy one from there for the whole family.
Do Natural Instinct make a soap bar Christy or is it the body wash that you use?
Body wash for us & the pump hand soap for that. We use soap nuts for baths & clothes washing...
I use MOPS (modern organic products) for hair :) my favourite.
Oh you girls! I'm going to have to place some online orders now! LOL Let's see... I definitely need to try some MiEssence moisturiser... the last one I bought is nearly used up (Jurlique's Calendula Cream, also bought based on BB recommendations... it's good, not too heavy, not greasy, absorbs quickly and works well with my foundation... I might go back to it again someday). And I need some more MooGoo shampoo. The thing I like about those brands is that their websites and delivery is FANTASTIC... both companies ship very quickly! With 3 kids I rarely have the luxury of browsing the comestics counter anymore... though one good thing about being my age :redface: I've tried sooooo many products now that I have largely sorted the cream from the crap! And I don't subscribe to advertising anymore! Interesting how the best brands don't seem to need much advertising.
Me too! But after reading the bottle I was a little disappointed that it's not really very organic, has some of the same stuff as other shampoos (SLS, etc) just not as much. But it is very light and yummy!:
Tobyturtle, why the dermalogica bias? Am thinking of getting their scrub but not sure if it's worth the $$...
To the ladies who use A'kin and Alchemy, what are your favourite products? Do they have a good, light moisturiser?

I own a salon and the skincare range i use and stock is Dermalogica! I absolutely LOVE it!!
Sukin face wash and johoba oil as moisturiser. My skin is looking the best it has for a while. I like sukin stuff, I have their body wash as well.
NS-7 moisturising complex for bod, when I can be bothered. Its really nice though, abit similar to palmers, but not cocoa smelling and is natural. They make a great really effective lip balm too.
Giovanni shampoo and conditioner. Have tried heaps of natural ones and I like these, they make your hair nice and shiny and smooth.
I was surprised to find that about Mops too (not natural, just has organic ingredients added).
Want to find a nice eye cream for preventative measures, but all the ones I have used just make me look wrinkly where I couldn't see wrinkles before (Is that because they puff out your skin? Does that mean the wrinkles are there?) Anyway so I stop using them. Any reccs?
I've used a lovely eye balm from L'Occitane - it was soothing and really nice to use.
Cetaphil cleanser & Nivea oil free moisturiser.
I'd love to give dermalogica a go as well as I have heard great things. Have tried & tested both clinique & pro active & they were not at all good for my skin!
ProActiv: I was given this for Christmas... hmmmm... jury is still out but I suspect it's only making my skin look good while I am using it... and when I stop it goes back to worse than before... just a theory... I'll use the stuff up and then go back to my other exfoliator (MiEssence garnet scrub) which i think was having a better overall effect and seems (list of ingredients) MUCH better for my skin.
I love Dermalogica too, especially the Active Moist and SPF booster.:
For cleansing, I use QV in the morning, then I use Moogoo's Oil Cleansing Method at night. It removes every trace of make up and leaves my skin really soft. Then I moisturise at night with Kosmea Rose Hip Oil, massaged into damp skin. I have oily skin too.
CHeck with the manufacturer but if it is a "natural" product - often the SLS is coconut derived or naturally derived which is better than the man-made ones:
Organic Spa skin care range, Australian made, certified organic, vegan range, against animal testing and affordable!
I love dermalogica!
Both DH and I use Demalogica and really love it :)
