BzzAgent Product Review: Burts Bee Natural Skin Solutions

Well now, that title is a mouth full, but I think there might be more words there than there are ingredients in this product.

If you don't know about Bzz Agent, check them out. They are really cool and once in awhile you get free samples and the only "catch" is that you have to share an honest opinion. Sweet as honey, eh? (check out one of my previous reviews here)

Anyway, recently I was sent the Burt's Bees® Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin facial cleanser and moisturizer. I was loathe to switch up my face cleaning routine as I've been using the same cleanser for years and finally found a moisturizer that worked.

I have to say that I'm digging the cleanser, but not sold on the moisturizer yet. Both products are full of natural products, including cotton which is supposed to keep your skin soft. The product description on Bzz Agents states: "Infused with the softening properties of Cotton, Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin replenishes skin in a way only nature can. Tap into the gentle power of natural ingredients, like Cotton, Rice, and Aloe, with clinically proven formulas to hydrate and help the skin replenish its outer layer."

I just find the moisturizer sits on my skin a little too long, leaving it feeling greasy. I also love that my previous moisturizer has an SPF to it, and this one doesn't.

If you have really sensitive skin this could be a great product. It is Burt's Bees, and everything they make smells great. This in particular smells fresh and clean, which is why I am loving the cleanser. It's just as effective as my old one (Neutragena) and the fact that it's natural is a serious bonus.

If you love Burt's Bees, I'd say give this a try. If you have sensitive skin, I'd say give this a try.

And hey, if you know me and live in Victoria, I've still got a couple of samples of the moisturizer, so let me know and I'll pass one along!
