Holiday Gift Guide ~ Annmarie Gianni Skin Care Review & Giveaway {US & Canada}

Because we are going into the Holiday season, I am wanting my skin to look it's best. I am a busy mom and don't always have all the time in the world to pamper my skin...typically I am in and out of the shower in the morning in about 10 minutes. There is just so much to do and I just hit the ground running in the morning. I have recently become more aware of what is in my typical, store-brand skin care and I am really looking to go more natural. Do you want to know if your facial wash is good for you? Here's a hint...if you can not read the ingredient list, you should not be using it. I am guilty of using products that contain HUGE ingredient lists that I cannot read and honestly, I need to do better. In looking towards this holiday season, let's think about blessing some special people with organic and natural skin care products.

Annmarie Gianni Skin Care is a company that makes wholesome, natural and organic skin care products. In fact, their products are so clean and natural...you could eat them! Now that is a new concept for me. This company was founded by Annmarie Gianni after she began to wonder just what was in the products she was applying to her skin. Here is a bit more about Annmarie and her products...

Just a few years ago, Annmarie started to take a hard look at the products she was putting on her skin. In just a few short days of research, what she found shocked her. Skin care products were severely under-regulated and most contained ingredients that weren’t safe at almost any amount. Even products that claimed they were organic or natural had hidden preservatives and other nasty additives.

She was frustrated and motivated to find a better option, because she realized so many people were using these supposedly “natural” products. What she found was not encouraging. Many of the truly natural products weren’t up to her standards of quality or effectiveness. It wasn’t long until she realized that if she wanted to have a truly clean and natural skin care line, she would have to do it herself.

So she did and Annmarie Gianni Skin Care was founded to provide a clean, natural skin care experience using natural, organic and wildcrafted ingredients. Annmarie now spends her time educating audiences around the United States about how to preserve your beauty and longevity from the inside out as well as what to look for when you’re searching for a skin care line that will keep your skin glowing and vibrant.

Annmarie is such a fantastic representation of what healthy should look like. Her skin glows and she looks so gorgeous! She is also a personal trainer and a massage therapist...which I can only imagine how wonderful she must be at it. I was very excited for the opportunity to work with Annmarie and try out some of her products to see for myself how amazing they really are!

So, for this review I was sent a beautiful bag of sample products. I was sent samples of: Coconut Body Oil, Aloe-Herb Cleanser, Dead Sea Facial Scrub, Coconut Honey Mask, Citrus Mint Facial Cleanser, Neroli Toning Mist, Rosemary Toning Mist, Herbal Facial Oil, Anti-Aging Facial Oil and Anti-Aging Serum. What a fantastic assortment of products! :) 

The first products that I tried were the scrubs and cleansers. I am absolutely IN LOVE with the Dead Sea Facial Scrub. It is gritty and thick, but spreads on very nicely. My daughter thought it was very concerning that I came out of the bathroom (after my shower) with "dirt" on my face. She was so cute...telling me to go clean the dirt off my face. HA HA! I loved how it made my skin tingle and feel so soft after rinsing off. The cleansers are heavenly. I especially love the Aloe-Herb Cleanser. It was hard to pick a favorite as the Citrus Mint smells soooo great and feels wonderful. My skin hasn't felt this good in a long time.

I also really enjoy spritzing the Toning Mists on after my shower. These are meant to be misted on your face and neck after cleaning the skin with the cleansers. They pair really nicely with any of the cleansers, especially with the Aloe-Herb Cleanser. I think my favorite of these two is the Neroli Toning Mist. Neroli comes from orange blossoms and is so very refreshing. It also absorbs quickly, which is great. 

I think my favorite of the oils and serum was the Herbal Facial Oil. My skin tends to be oily and this helps to balance my natural skin oils. I have noticed a difference from using this oil. Funny how using an oil can help to control the oils in your skin. It works really nicely for me and the scent is amazing too! 

Each of these products (and many more!) are available for purchase from Annmarie Gianni's website. You can purchase gift sets, which would make awesome gifts; or you can purchase each product individually. I really want to get the Dead Sea Facial Scrub...that did so much for my skin and I absolutely LOVE it!

Be sure to check out Annmarie Gianni Skin Care on Facebook as well as on Twitter. They will be so glad to meet you!

So, in my opinion...Annmarie Gianni Skin Care is a fabulous company. I love each product that I was sent and am very pleased with the way my skin responded to them. Having skin care products that are natural and contain ingredients that will benefit my skin is very important to me. I would definitely recommend Annmarie Gianni's products to anyone!!

Annmarie has offered to give one of my readers a Normal Skin Care Travel Set! This set contains the Herbal Facial Oil, Aloe-Herb Facial Cleanser, Ayurvedic Facial Scrub and Neroli Toning Mist. Here are your entry options (wish I could enter too!!)...
