My mother will pay upwards of a hundred dollars on a moisturizer that will leave her skin soft, fresh, toned, and younger looking. Now I'm not saying that high end stuff is bad and doesn't do it's job, but why spend that much when for a fifth of is you can have this natural and organic product?
I was super pumped about receiving this face food sample. In the summer my typically oily skin gets extremely dry. I have always had a hard time finding moisturizers because of how sensitive my skin is. I was hesitant at first because of this known fact, but I figured that my face turning red couldn't be worse than my face peeling as much as it was with dry skin.
This face food smells like a garden of roses, real roses. This is not some Victoria Secret or Bath & Body Works rose scent. This is the real deal. I love it. I used a little bit (they recommend a pea-size, but I would say a little more if you really wanna cover your neck too) every night for a straight 2 weeks. The first few days my skin felt oily. I was not happy and losing confidence in this face food. I don't need more oil on my face, I need moisture. Well by day 5, my skin was glowing with moisturized goodness. I just woke up one morning and the peeling was gone, my skin actually felt firmer, and it just looked really healthy. I think that it is possible that my skin needed to adjust to this new product, which is why a delay in results occurred.
In a little less than two weeks this Face Food made my skin feel and look so healthy and supple. It was wonderful. My mother even asked what I was using. I found washing and exfoliating my face first, before bed, then putting this on seemed to work well. While looking at Green Springs's Etsy, I noticed there are other varieties of this Face Food. Tangerine sounds like it would be a wonderful choice for using in the morning. Citrus has a natural mood enhancing ability via scent They also offer a lavender, which would be wonderful as a before bed time scent so that you can really relax.
Overall I was very impressed with this (as I first thought) pricey face moisturizer. Compared to the quality that my mother buys, this is a bargain! My only qualms is how it made my skin very oily for a bit. This may or may not be an issue for you, but please be aware of it.

Thanks for reviewing our fab organic FACE FOOD. We have worked for years perfecting this formula. Sometimes it does takes your skin a while to get used to using it, it's like your skin is detoxing. You will find that over time you can apply less and your skin will still stay soft all day long. ENJOY!
