SOS! New faves from Madara

madara sos

Madara is a finnish brand that offers eco certified organic products for hair, body and face. You can read more about Madara here.

I’m always scared of using products that are “for every skin type”. I have oily skin so I’m used to products that are meant just for that. This time I decided to try these products out anyway since I have heard that they really do suit many skin types. And you know what? I’m glad I did!

Madara SOS Hydra Repair Serum

This is perfect for my skin as a day cream even though it’s meant to be used under a cream. But as you may know oily skin doesn’t need much moisture. This thin serum absorbs quickly and is enough for my skin. It also works great under makeup.  I’ve fell in love with this and now it’s all I want to use.

Madara SOS Hydra Recharge Cream

The cream is very moisturising and nourishing so it works for me as night cream. I would think that this actually works for many skin types since it’s not crazy thick but not a very light cream either.

Madara SCRUB Exfoliating Oil-To-Milk-Scrub

An exfoliant with small microbeads. First you apply it to your face dry and gently exfoliate your skin. Then you apply water and let it foam. Then you rinse. This is a very gentle even though it has micro beads in it.

I love all of these products’ packaging. They are beautiful and have a luxury feeling to them with their light pastel colouring. Good work from Madara! These cost a bit more than what I’ve used to spend but then again these are awesome products and they are eco certified.

Frantsila is a Finnish brand that produces organic cosmetics amongst other products. They are sold for example at Sokos which is where I first saw them. They are very affordable yet their quality is quite impressive. They don’t have ecocertificates but they are organic.

I got to try their rose facial oil, nourishing facial cream and bright eyes beauty cream.

The rose facial oil is very nourishing and moisturising. It’s best for normal, dry or mature skin. All skin types can benefit from this but personally I think this is too heavy for my skin which is oily/mixed. I searched the ingredients online and found this so I’m not  so sure about some oils that this product contains. For my skin this felt a bit too heavy but I may give it another go in winter. 

The nourishing facial cream is also very nourishing and moisturising. This too would be best for normal, dry or mature skin. Still this feels quite light and absorbs quickly. The texture is quite nice with his actually! I may give this another go in the winter.

The bright eyes beauty cream is surprisingly light and silky-feeling on the skin. This absorbs quickly so if you’re not a fan of thick creams you might like this.  I would recommend this for young people maybe as their first under eye cream. For me this was a bit too light since I use a lot of makeup on my eyes and need plenty of moisture to keep my eye area smooth.
