Herbalife, who are well known as providers of nutritional products recently launched SKIN – a high performance range of skincare products that aim to work in creating a more youthful and healthier skin. The product range makes use of Vitamin B, Vitamins C & E and Aloe Vera as the key ingredients. Developed in conjunction with top dermatologists and ophthalmologists, the products are free from parabens and sulphates. The SKIN range relies on a good balance between the ingredients, botanicals and extracts to promote healthier-looking skin and long-term benefits of a reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

I have been trialling 4 products from the SKIN range:
Polishing Citrus Cleanser (150ml) £19.25
Energizing Herbal Toner (50ml) £14.60
Purifying Mint Clay Mask (120ml) £16.35
Daily Glow Moisturiser (30ml) £32.65

Let's begin with the cleanser.

Formulated with Vitamin B3, Vitamins C and E and Aloe Vera, Orange oil, Grapefruit oil and Jojoba Esters, the Polishing Citrus Cleanser is impressive. It has a lovely scent, removes the excess oil and dirt and leaves the skin feeling refreshed. A wonderful way to wake your skin up, I would say. The cleanser is suitable for normal to oily skin types.

The Energising Herbal Toner is an aloe-infused, alcohol-free facial toner. When I picked up the spray bottle I assumed that it would have an aloe scent considering it is infused with aloe vera. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I realised that it has a lovely mandarin scent which goes well with the Citrus cleanser. I store this toner in the refrigerator like I do with all my toners. A couple of spritzes over the face after cleansing leaves my face feeling really fresh and soothed.

The Daily Glow Moisturiser is an all-purpose hydrating lotion that gives your face a healthy glow. It is formulated with Vitamin B3, Vitamins C and E, Aloe Vera, Sunflower seed oil, Macadamia nut oil, Olive oil, Sesame seed oil and has been clinically shown to double the skin’s moisture levels for eight hours. The moisturiser has a lightweight texture and gets absorbed nicely. It leaves the skin hydrated and soft. I am not sure if this would work for me in winters when my skin tends to go very dry. But it is perfect for day time use in summers for those with normal-combination skin.

The Purifying Mint Clay Mask is a lovely, creamy mask that absorbs excess oil (due to presence of Bentonite Clay) and also removes dirt from the skin. It is said to improve the appearance of pores after just one use! The mask has a very fresh, minty smell due to the inclusion of Spearmint oil. It is easy to apply and dries quickly. Removing it is a little time consuming but it doesn't disappoint in terms of performance. My facial skin is normally combination type but during menstrual periods it becomes very oily. I have used this mask in both scenarios and when my skin is oily, it works like a charm - removes the excess oil without drying my skin. When my skin is not oily, the mask leaves it a bit tight and dry requiring moisturisation. I would recommend the mask for those with oily skin - it suits oily skin perfectly.

Overall, I liked the products that I have tried from Herbalife SKIN; the toner and the moisturiser being my favourites followed by the clay mask. No complaints in terms of quality or performance.

One small gripe I had was the unnecessary amount of packaging though - especially in the case of the daily glow moisturiser (photo above) which has an outer sleeve, then a sturdy tube packaging which encloses the pump. Herbalife, if you are listening, I am sure you can minimise or do away with the unnecessary packaging.
