Love a natural multi-tasker but want a bit of high end beauty in your life too?  Skin Alchemists offer both with their eco luxe products, and today's review examines the Intensive Skin Treatment Candle collection.  I'm sharing the magic of massage, nourishing skincare, and aromatherapy so get ready for the latest issue of The Snapshot Series!

Heads up - this is the old Skin Alchemists packaging!

About Skin Alchemists:

Skin Alchemists is an eco-luxe brand out to make a difference, and their founder Theresa is so inspiring, powerful, and kind hearted that you will feel all the more connected to this beautiful business.  Theresa works to bring you an experience that is unique and indulgent, handcrafting micro batches to ensure freshness and the ultimate efficacy. Everything within the range is created using proprietary formulations that are “conjured using the highest grade, nutrient-rich, raw ingredients, each purposefully chosen to deliver an intended result.”

And those results?  Well, each product has its own intentions.  Skin Alchemists' plant powered formulas are something to be marveled at.  Their stunning range consists of handmade soaps, a multi-tasking oil cleanser, a stunning serum, skin treatment candles, a versatile exfoliating scrub, and perfume oil.  Each formula is like a spa retreat in a bottle, and offers a moment of peace and relaxation even during the most hectic of times.

While they have gone through a rebranding since I first discovered the range, every single product remains just as exquisite, and blends the benefits of aromatherapy with the tender loving care of effective skincare.  That's why I can't wait to pick up the new packaging sometime soon and re-indulge in these creations!

Skin Alchemists Intensive Skin Treatment Review:

The Intensive Skin Treatment is a multi-tasking marvel, simultaneously functioning as four distinct products within one ceramic vessel.  This is a candle that fills the room with a beautiful aroma and a warm flickering light.  It is also a high end massage oil that offers an effortless experience.  But it is ALSO an all over body moisturizer that provides deep nourishment and soothing properties that heal, repair, and soften.  And it is the perfect pairing for a warm bath too!  That's a whole lot of green beauty packed into a single formula, and it's one that harnesses the power of nature to provide its magic.

And if that isn't enough, the fragrance is delectable.  Truly.  There are two varieties to choose from, and both are out of this world.  The first is a sensuous, complex, captivating aroma that is like fine velvet and sunsets on the beach, and the second is a peace inducing creation that wraps around you and soothes mind and body with its gentle touch.  Both are perfect for a pre-bed ritual, and both are works of beauty.  Just look!

Skin Alchemists Midnight's Serenade: 

Midnight Serenade brings exotic and mysterious vibes with vibrant notes of delicate jasmine, slightly sharp elemi, and a dash of headiness thanks to the likes of lavender, rose, and cedarwood.  This has such a warmth to it, and is an exquisite mix of sweetness, spice, zest, and fragrant florals.  While it inspires serenity, it also prompts clarity of mind and helps energize your spirit as all the negatives from the day melt away.

Skin Alchemists Sweet Dreams: 

Sweet Dreams, on the other hand, is much more traditionally calming with soft but clear notes of sweet and soothing florals with the slightest hint of herbs lurking beneath the surface.  The blend of bergamot, ylang ylang, and palmarosa brings the epitome of tranquility, and it is like a comforting blanket that brings rest and relaxation.  With gorgeous amyris, lavender, and nutmeg, Sweet Dreams is a ticket to dreamland.

When drizzled across the skin the oil is warm but not hot, so you don't have to worry about burning yourself or anything like that.  In fact, I found this such a lovely treatment on a cold day -- makes you feel really cozy and relaxed!  I also like that while the texture is luscious and the experience is very nourishing, your skin is not left super greasy or feeling sticky at all.  It is slick of course (as a massage oil should be!) but the formula slowly absorbs into your back and shoulders, leaving your skin incredibly soft and feeling replenished.
