Skoah products

Last year I got a gift card to Skoah which is one of many spa places in Vancouver. I've never been to a spa before so I'm not the best person to recommend where people should go, but the feel of Skoah is less commercialized then the other ones I've looked in to. To be honest with all the group buy coupons out their for spas I'm pretty sure I'll try a few other places before going to Skoah again. However, I must say the service at the Yaletown one is amazing! The girl who gave me my facial was awesome and didn't hard sell me into buying products afterwards, but I loved the cleanser she was using on me so much so that I had to get it! If you have dry skin you'll probably like this too!

I've tried many cleansers in the past - some were meh, some were too drying, and others were good but didn't do as good of a job after my skin got used to it. I thought I was cursed at this point... haha.. Luckily, the one from Skoah didn't disappoint. It's very refreshing (with its cucumber scent) and its oh so moisturizing formula. In fact, the product looks like a moisturizure and feels like one against my face. Although, those attributes are nothing special, the way it leaves my skin feeling is! My face feels so smooth and soft after using it. I've been using it ever since I got it. It's been more than half a year now and the love affair is still going strong! <3 The bottle is $25 which isn't too bad considering how long its lasted. I'm thinking of replenishing already - that's how much I love it! ;) it's called Kleansing Lotion.  

On the same visit I also got a toner. I've never used toners in the past simply because I never saw a need for one, but the girl was saying how it balances the pH in your skin so I gave it a try. I got the one she was using on me its called Tonik. The bottle is pretty much the same at the cleanser (seen above) but with a spray rather than the pump. Apparently balancing the pH prevents your skin from being too acidic causing flaking or too alkaline causing breakouts - info from their website. To be honest I've been using this toner for a while now and I've had times where my skin was flaky, but that could be a combination of my not so very hydrating night cream. I'm not sure if I'll be repurchasing but we'll see when I have no more and if my face misses it or not.  peace out :)
