All Things Pure {Review & Giveaway}

Not long ago I was asked to review a line of skin care products from Bioelemets called All Things Pure. The line, which includes a cleanser, face scrub, eye oil and moisturizer, contains natural and organic ingredients and nothing synthetic. All Things Pure also carries the National Products Association seal.

I’m really picky when it comes to my skin care products. I’ve had skin issues ever since I was a kid. I got my first pimple in the 4th grade and even now still have the occasional breakout. Having 2 kids along the way has also changed my skin and knowing what I do now about the ingredients that can be found in many products I’m very careful about what I try.

So before I said yes to trying out the products I went to Bioelements web site to check them out, which is where I got the above info. My only concern was that there was a corn ingredient in the cleanser and I wasn’t entirely sure if I should use it since I’m allergic to corn. I asked the lady who contacted me about using the cleanser and she asked their esthetician who said I should talk to my doctor about if it would be ok for me to use. Since that was the only "issue" I went ahead and said yes and figured I would just give it a try.

Another thing that needs to be mentioned, I think, is that the packing that the products came in can be recycled and the containers for the products are made from glass. Glass containers instead of plastic means no leaching of chemicals from the plastic into your products, which I very much liked.

Ok, so now onto the products finally. I’ve been using the products for a little more than a week now and so far I haven’t had any negative reactions to the cleanser, so that’s great. I also didn’t have the usual “getting used to it” phase that happens sometimes for me when I switch products. That phase generally includes breakouts and sometimes redness on my cheeks.

The scrub doesn’t say how often to use it but generally you use them once or twice a week. I’ve used it twice a week and really like it. I like how the little granules melt into your skin as you go and how smooth I feel afterwards.



I generally don’t use moisturizer but gave this one a shot since I needed to tell you about. I did like it and I could definitely see using it during the winter when my skin gets dry. I don’t think it was overly heavy, it actually felt very light going on, but I have oily skin so I need something super light. The eye oil says that you can use it on your whole face as well, which is what I did after the first trial of the moisturizer. I really like the eye oil for my face; I will definitely keep using that.

All in all I liked the All Things Pure products and so you can see if you will too Bioelemets is giving one lucky reader a complete set as well!
