I have been using Michael Todd products for a while now and
I’ve experimented with many of the products on offer. There are some products,
which are okay, and some, which are amazing.
The ones, which I have been repurchasing time after time are the Jojoba
charcoal facial polish (which is a facial scrub), the Organic lemon toner and the Hyaluronic + C moisturising
serum. Originally I bought the products through the US website however now they
have a UK website where you can order from and its free delivery if you order
products over £50.
The company states that all products are made in the USA
using 70-95% of organic ingredients. The products are made from 100% natural
Aloe Vera juice and are not water based, so it is really good for all types of
skin.
The products ARE FREE from: parabens, triclosan (similar to
triclocarban, its an antibacterial and antifungal agent however is controversial
as effects on organisms and environmental health are still being investigated),
phthalates (they are used as solubulisers, plasticisers or denaturants),
sulphates and mineral oils, artificial colour and synthetic fragrances. Most
importantly NO TESTING ON ANIMALS!!!!
The colour of the scrub is black and the texture is not very
harsh on the skin, making it perfectly fine to use everyday without harming
your skin. As you can see from the picture it looks quite rough and unappealing however it feels amazing on your skin, so don't be put off!! The scrub absorbs oil from oily skin, the charcoal gets rid of
toxins from the skin but it does not dry the skin. It doesn’t dry the skin
because it contains Jojoba. Just squeeze a small amount from the tube onto
your hand and gently rub on the face for a few seconds, once you’ve gently massaged it all over your face, wash it off with warm water. As soon as you’ve washed it off you’ll notice
that your face looks brighter and fresher after the scrub. After using the scrub I usually use the toner
from Michael Todd called Organic Lemon AHA + DMAE toner.
When you put this toner on your face it actually feels like
its doing something to your skin, it gives you a tingling sensation compared with
other toners that I’ve used that don’t feel like they do anything besides give
off a nice smell. As it says on the
description of the product it supposed to be very beneficial for your skin by
brightening your complexion & visibly reducing dark spots, fine lines and
wrinkles. The reason why this product is so beneficial is because of the alpha
hydroxy acid (AHA), it instantly firms, tones and tightens along with the
antioxidant-rich DMAE. This toner is best to use in the morning because its
refreshes the skin and wakes you up with its fresh scent.
The other main product, which, I use from Michael Todd, is the Hyaluronic acid + C antioxidant moisturising serum. This serum can be
used on its own without moisturiser in the summer whereas in the winter I would
use a moisturiser alongside it. First off the serum absorbs very quickly and
leaves my skin smooth and silky and it looks hydrated and revitalised. Antioxidants and vitamin c minimise the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as maximising the hydration of
your skin. It also protects your skin from environmental stress and reverses UV
sun damage. This serum is recommended for normal-combination mature skin.
I have been using these three products for a while and I can
see that it does make a huge difference to my skin. My skin feels much smoother
and better than before. After experimenting with different products from
Michael Todd I would say these three are the best for my skin. The best way to
try out Michael Todd products is to start off with the discovery collection in
my opinion, as it’s the best way to discover which products will suit your
skin.
