Review / Raw Gaia Bamboo And Pumice Exfoliant

Hi everyone!

My todays review is for Raw Gaia - the world's first range of living organic skin care products and organic beauty products, hand-made using only cold-pressed, organic, vegan, cruelty- and chemical-free ingredients.

Here's more info from the Company:

Our natural & organic skincare products have outstanding skin moisturising and uplifting qualities because they are absolutely pure, alive and made with the Earth's most nourishing and beautifying skin care ingredients, which are far more effective than any chemical or artificial moisturisers.

Through a special low temperature process, Raw Gaia's organic skin care products retain all the life energy, antoioxidants, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids in the ingredients, which help to moisturise, heal and revitalise all kinds of skin.

Raw Gaia is one of the most ethical companies you'll find anywhere in the world. All our ingredients are organic, vegan, cruelty-free and free from any chemicals.

Sounds like a dream! 

For my review I received Raw Gaia Bamboo And Pumice Exfoliant. This was my choice because I'm a sucker for exfoliating products ^_^ But I want the one that's gentle on the skin yet effective in removing dead skin cells and impurities!

Raw Gaia Bamboo And Pumice Exfoliant

What Company say: Exfoliation is essential for cell rejuvenation; it improves circulation, aids cell regrowth therefore allowing the skin to repair itself. We believe it is the most natural and most ancient way to clean the face. It cleanses deeply leaving your skin clear and healthy. Used regularly, Raw Gaia’s Bamboo and Pumice exfoliator will give your skin a polished, renewed look. It’s like having a natural, gentle derma abrasion without it being abrasive! Made in UK.

Directions:  Wet face with warm water, dip wet fingers into the powder, gently massage in a circular motion all over the face and neck for about 2 minutes, avoiding eye area. Rinse off with warm water. Finish off by using our floral toner and one of our living moisturisers. Please start off slowly as the skin is delicate on the face. Assess how it is for you as everyone is different. You will be able to increase the pressure over time. If you have very dry skin do not exfoliate more than 3 times a week.

Ingredients:  Bamboo (Bambusa Arundinacea), Pumice.

Price: £20.99 / 1050 rub. for 1.76 oz. / 50 g. Raw Gaia ship their products Worldwide! You can also find your nearest stockist by clicking this link.

My experience: Raw Gaia Bamboo And Pumice Exfoliant comes in a simple clear plastic jar with a screw-on cap.

The products itself is a powder with a slightly sweet scent. The scent is barely there but I love it anyways ^_^ I guess it's the scent of bamboo because pumice doesn't have a scent, right?

I love the simplicity and efficacy of this scrub. Containing only two ingredients, it's natural and very easy to use. I use it twice weekly - once on my whole face and once on my T-zone. After using my facial cleanser, I apply this on my wet face and massage in light circular motions, then rinse off and apply green clay mask (handmade) to minimize my pores. I need only light pressure while massaging and my skin feels super clean, fresh and polished after it. I have not experienced any irritation or dryness from this.

I also use it for mani / pedi instead of cuticle removers. I love it natural way ^_^ For example, during mani, I first do a bath with salt and essential oils for my hands, then I use some hand scrub, push the cuticle with orange wood cuticle stick and buff them with Raw Gaia Bamboo And Pumice Exfoliant. I also use some cuticle oil and hand cream after it. Here's the result:

Not bad for at home mani, don't you think? I do this every other week and it keeps my hands in great condition, polished and burrs-free ^_^

And the last thing I want to say is that at first sight  £20.99 for 50 g of scrub is expensive but believe me with this one a little goes a really long way so it's not. I can't believe I started using this back in July 2011... and I haven't used even a third of it!

I would highly recommend this to everyone! Take care of yourself in natural way!
