Pure & Simple: Skincare & Make Up Product Review for Eczema Sufferers

Hello, from Paris! My hubby and I have been traveling for the last 2 weeks across Europe so I haven’t been able to update much since then. But, I’m so glad to finally be sharing this review because I’ve been meaning to write it for so long!

I’m a big fan of Pure and Simple products and I’ve been using it for a long time. For my readers wondering about it, they’re actually a spa (an awesome spa!) that does facials, but they also sell a very natural line of make up & skin care products. Actually, their line of products were the first “natural” line of products that I started to get into – so I have a special spot for it 🙂

If you read my previous post on the link between ayurveda and eczema (and the three different types of eczema), I actually first learned about ayurveda from Pure and Simple. Their owner, Kristen Ma, is really into this, including holistic skin care.

She also has a book called, “Pure and Simple: A Holistic Guide to Beauty,” which is all about holistic skin care from the inside out (and I definitely learned a lot from reading it). She even did a whole talk on the link between eczema and ayurveda at the Whole Life Expo, which you can watch below.

If you find your skin very sensitive, you may also benefit from their Sensitive Kit product line. Their sensitive skin care products include the Sensitive Cleansing Milk, Hydration Serum, Skin Drink Unscented Lotion and Calming Cucumber Mask. Whether you purchase the products separately or as a kit, their ingredients are great for anyone with sensitive skin. However, if you suffer from very dry skin, then you’ll likely need a thicker or stronger product to help lock the moisture in.

During my flare up several years ago, I also used their Rosacea Care, Calming Aloe Kumari facial cleanser. Although I didn’t have rosacea, I did have a lot of redness and wounds. This product contains aloe Vera Juice (Kumari), which is a staple for treating burns and inflamed skin since ancient times. It also has Bisabolol, which is derived from chamomile and is an excellent anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant. The Neroli oil in it is also a powerful skin regenerator and can repair broken capillaries and prevent damage. It’s an all-natural product is made up of 89% organic ingredients, plus 100% Vegan + Nut Free!

I’ve also used their makeup for a very long time. I like the eyeliner – but sometimes I find that it’s a bit soft and smudges easily. I also like how their foundation is light, but if you have red eczema spots, it may not be able to provide full coverage over it and you might need something thicker. In addition, I noticed that some of their products do have a bit of preservatives – but the associates I spoke with in store mentioned that they’re food grade preservatives and all natural, to help the product maintain freshness and quality.

One thing to note is that I find that some of their products are pricier compared to some other natural products out there (i.e. products you might find in your health food store). It may be because they’re a spa, but I also do trust the quality of their ingredients that they are good.
 

I’m a huge fan of their products and would recommend it if you’d like to give it a try. Check out their shipping page for more details on shipping costs. You can also check out Kristen Ma’s YouTube channel for more great videos on healing your skin from the inside out.
