Skin confidence with Ami iYok

I’ve been testing out a few products under the radar and really testing them out before revealing my thoughts.  I think it’s important to highlight I’m not a cosmetic junkie and I am highly sceptical of products doing what they say they’ll do. I’m also not interested in stuffing toxic chemicals into my body or my skin. So… my recommendations for products or treatments are not taken lightly. I’m also not about to abandon my values and start using products that don’t fit my values just so I can have clearer, more confident skin!
That’s why I have started the Skin Confidence Diaries and why I am showcasing the products/services I have found that actually WORK and help me feel more confident in my bare naked skin!

 

My new found product love and personal recommendation goes to: Ami iYok who have an exciting range of ethical and sustainable cosmetics that are:

  • Natural organic ingredients
  • Kind to animals and humans – ingredients NOT tested on animals
  • Respectful of nature and eco-friendly packaging
  • Dermatologically tested

 
The three main products in my review are: face wash, day cream and night oil – all suggested to me by the brand’s founder, based on my skin condition. My skin has an oily and dry combination, is prone to spots, damaged by the sun, struggling in city pollution (congested) and dare I say it…showing signs of ageing.  The products I have fallen in love with are detailed below.
 

Ami Iyok Bio Cleansing Gel

I’ve been using the Ami iyok Green Shaman Bio Cleansing Gel morning and most evenings for a couple of months now and I no longer suffer with dry skin after washing my face. It’s free from sulphates smells great and gently cleanses my skin, easily removing make-up and leaving my skin feeling refreshed. It’s active ingredients include: micro-algae Spirulina.
 

Ami Iyok Balancing Cream

This includes the edition of using an ionising show head now too, and then finishing with Ami iyok Balance Cream.   The cream smells divine and is specifically designed for combination-oily skin types and helps balance the skin’s pH level, it works on both the dry areas and oily areas. Ingredients include: Aloe Vera.
I then follow with my existing sunblock UVP 50+ (whilst I continue with my IPL treatment for my pigmentation marks).
 

Ami Iyok Slow liquid

In the evenings I am using the Ami iyok slow liquid by gently massaging into freshly washed skin, the oil smells divine and it’s quickly and easily absorbed. This one really does feel like food for my skin, I love hydrated and nourished my skin feels afterwards.
On top of finding a product that I love and will happily recommend to all my female friends (and I have invited Ami iYok to register onto the Ethical Brand Directory) –  I am very happy to discover the brand’s commitment to sustainable is a perfect fit for my values. From sourcing, production and packing, this brand is setting a great example – and to top it all off it’s plastic free!
