Chantecaille Detox Clay Mask Review

CHANTECAILLE’s Detox Clay Mask is a “highly effective healer that relies on kaolin, a wonderfully absorbent and healing black clay, for its purifying and detoxifying qualities. Pure honey is added to soothe and nourish skin. Rosemary, a purifying anti-bacterial agent, also helps regulate sebum.

Peppermint Oil and Burdock Root, also anti-bacterial, purify skin and tighten pores. Rose, mimosa, jasmine and narcissus flower waxes are natural anti-inflammatories that form a healing and regenerative base. The essential oil from Sweet Orange Peel soothes, softens and regenerates tired, stressed skin.

Rosemary is stimulating and purifying, contributing to clarity of mind. Rose soothes and centers, imparting a sense of well-being. Jasmine aligns the physical and spiritual, releasing a joyous feeling of confidence. Suitable for all skin types–including Dry and Sensitive–that experience regular or occasional breakouts. Apply a generous layer twice a week over clean skin of face and neck. Leave on for 10 minutes. Gently remove with soft cotton and lukewarm water. “

Chantecaille Water Flower Fluid Review

CHANTECAILLE describes Water Flower Fluid as “a hydrating, brightening formula especially indicated for younger skin. It is also recommended for use in warmer climates on normal, combination and dry skin. Men find it refreshing as an after-shave lotion. It is loaded with Vitamins A, E and C (from fresh oranges) that collaborate to fight free radical damage caused by age and environmental stress. Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter nourish and hydrate as they minimize the loss of natural moisture in the epidermis. Evening Primrose Oil, an essential fatty acid with anti-inflammatory properties, is essential in creating healthy cells. Jasmine, narcissus and mimosa flower waxes purify and restore skin, stimulating cellular turnover. Lily Bulb lightens and brightens, helping to balance uneven skin tone. Rose soothes and uplifts, helping to impart a sense of security and well-being. Magnolia is cleansing, purifying and energizing.”

Chantecaille Lip Chic Review

CHANTECAILLE describes their Lip Chics as a revolutionary hybrid that combines the high shine and plumping effects of a gloss with the rich, even coverage of a lipstick. It goes on with an incredibly soft, lightweight texture as it helps to smooth and firm the lips. This exceptionally comfortable formula is easy to apply in an even finish that is shiny but never sticky. Lip Chic leaves lips fuller and decidedly more youthful in appearance, but never irritated.
