Get Clear, Glowing Skin with Organic Zum Face Wash - A Natural and Effective Solution
I'm guilty of a few skin faux pas. Among them are sleeping in my makeup on the road (and at home!) and stripping my sensitive skin with harsh scrubs to combat my skin's changes in new environments. Spring is tough thanks to pollen and my battle with the Southern weather. My skin has not looked better than when I lived in South Korea. I suspect it was the natural products and chemical-free face care. I must own about ten lines of expensive washes and scrubs to find something that works. As life turns out simpler is better, so when I came across Zum Face on Instagram, I dropped a few hearts and asked if the products were as "gentle" as everyone always claims. You know the type. No joke. I took this set to the mountains and cleansed my face in the icy cold streams. Andrea at Indigowild was kind about answering my questions, guaranteeing it would be gentle and make your skin feel softer than a baby's behind (my words, not hers), and offered to send me the travel kit to test out. It was daring me not to fall in love. So now I have to take out a small business loan to fill my house with this stuff. Oh, the price of beauty.
Zum Face is a product line from the nature buffs at Indigo Wild.
ALL Zum Products are made in the U.S.A. Cruelty-Free- NO Zum Products are tested on animals.
Vegetarian - ALL Zum products are vegetarian. Vegan- ALL Zum products are vegan except Zum Bars (goat's milk), Zum Kisses (honey), and Zum Rub (goat's milk). In addition, all Zum products are gluten-free except Zum Body lotions (oat bran extract) and Oatmeal-Lavender Zum Bar (oatmeal). Sounds pretty good, right? And you can pronounce the ingredients!
First impressions: The sweet aromatherapy scent smacked me when I opened the box. Citrusy and fresh like lemongrass. I guess you could say it smells "Yummy." ( Don't groan, that was Punny!) I was super excited as I sifted through a pound of packing peanuts. I should have opened it from the bottom. I was pleasantly surprised to find the travel kit was actually travel-sized, a whole beauty regime, and small enough to fit in the pocket of my carry-on. I'm already working with limited space, so +1 Zumface.
What I Love: The tiny bottles bear the distinct product label and scrap the bells and whistles. There are no artificial colors, no blue gels to stain my clothes should they open, and all the scents are naturally fragrant. As someone with awful allergies, I hate nothing more than being the source of my trouble.
Products: The Zum Gentle Face Cleanser takes the makeup off. Without stripping my skin. Which is a massive problem in a temperate climate. It gets so muggy outside that you scrub multiple times daily to get the pollen and humidity. At first, I was a little put off that it doesn't foam, but in my experience, products without additives usually don't. I've just been conditioned to expect it. A little goes a long way, so don't glob it on.
The Zum Lemongrass Face Scrub is gentle enough to use every day. I've been burned before, but this claim holds. And it tastes good. I know this because I used it to scrub away the dry skin from my lips. The travel scrub has the least amount of product per container, so use it sparingly unless you buy the larger version to replace it.
The Zum Lemongrass Gentle Face Toner. Do not get this in your eyes. It's strong enough to clean your pores but contains lemongrass and lemons. It does a great job of refreshing but put it on a cotton ball. Don't try to free-hand it or rub too much on your face.
The Zum Lemongrass Nourishing Facial Oil surprised me because I always cringe at the thought of point oil on my face. I've been suffering from dry patchy skin due to weather changes, over-washing and drying, and damaging scrubs. As a result, my makeup looked grotesque. My Sephora best friend Megan said my skin wasn't properly moisturized. I took a chance, and it has my skin glow. One drop is enough, don't get crazy.
The Facial Soap bar is a solid extension of the face wash and more lathery if you need that. It's also what I used to wash my face in the mountain water—the best.
What could be better: Nothing! J keeps smelling my face and asking if I've been drinking Soto Lemonade, but...
Final Thoughts: it worked like a charm! I took it for a weeklong spin, and my skin feels clean and clear. I want more stuff! I need to try the cleaning, body, and chakra salts...If you want to get me something special for being your favorite blogger, I'll accept these candles or this Frankincense & Mryyh bag. Has anyone tried Zumface? What are your thoughts?
