 |

Can you tell I am obsessed with the FaceShop Chia Seed Line? Once again, the saleswoman from the Chinatown FaceShop suggested this to go along with the cleanser and I have been using this product for about 5 months. I am still using this product and I will definitely go back and re-purchase this toner!
What are Chia Seeds?
-"Magical moisture seed from South America
- Absorbs moisture 10 times its own weight and forms a natural film of jelly moisture
-A natural seed filled with not only moisture but also nearly all nutrients required by the skin."
Description: "A moisturizing toner for hydrating inside the skin with organically grown chia seed.
-A moisturizing toner that instantly hydrates the skin.
-Tones dry and patchy dead skin cells and moisturizes the skin as if water is absorbed.
-A natural moisture drop absorbing moisture 10 times its own weight.
-Chia seeds carrying moisture and the Moisture Hug System adjust the skin into an optimal state to fully retain moisture.
-Contains 100% chia seeds water instead of water.
-Chia seeds water is extracted within 24 hours via the Fresh method, instead of water delivers the vitality of the highly pure chia."
Directions: Every morning and evening, after applying an essence, dispense an adequate amount on the hands or a cotton puff and apply to the skin and tap lightly for full absorption. Gently press the skin with both palms to finish.
(*Soak a cotton puff and place on a dry part. Remove the puff after 30 seconds for long-lasting moisturization.)
As you can see, there is a pump which makes it 100% easier to use and is hygienic. Some people opt out for the spray version. What I personally do is pump once into my scoop like hand and by using my other hand, I dip in my fingers and pat my face around gently. The key is to pat your face GENTLY in circular motions to massage the face. Do not forget about your neck! The toner is a clear watery substance with a soothing fragrance. I repeat it is like a WATERY substance. Very watery! I apply this right after I cleanse my face using the chia seed foaming cleanser.
It has definitely moisturizes my face and is great for the summer. Very light, but moisturizing. I used it during the winter and I received no dry patches or breakouts. It helped brighten (yessss), moisturize and soften my face.
My number one issue regarding of makeup and skincare are the ingredients. But the Chia Seed Watery Toner is a formula WITHOUT 7 ADDITIVES such as Parabens which is a wonderful bonus for me!
145ml is a good amount to use long term. Lasts around 6-8 months.
PRO
-moisturizes and hydrates skin
-not a strong fragrance
-easy to use
-formula w/o 7 additives
CON
-n/a
Where to get it? Manhattan FaceShops OR eBay OR Amazon

How would I rate this product? 9/10! Will repurchase.
The Face Shop Chia Seed Fresh Cleansing Foam - 150 ml
I bought this product during the winter of 2014 when I had troubled and sensitive skin. According to the sales woman, Chia Seeds are perfect for sensitive skin and to lock in moisture. The product is 150ml which is a generous amount of product and will last for a long time. You only have to use a pea size amount and lather it. It lathers quite well!
Description- "Foam cleanser that deeply cleanses your pore."
Directions- "Dispense an adequate amount and lather fully with water, Massage gently onto the entire face and rinse thoroughly with clean water."
The foam cleanser has a floral scent that isn't too overwhelming. I personally like products that have bits of fragrance in them. It is a liquidy milky-white like substance that foams up once you start to lather it. It cleared up most of my makeup except for waterproof mascaras and eyeliners. Those were hard to remove, but it did remove my Etude House Precious Fit BB Cream, lipstick, blush and eyebrow tint. After washing my face with it, I noticed it was drying at first which I soon realized that using a pea sized amount will be good enough. However the foam cleanser certainly made my face feel really smooth and clean. The price was around 10-15 dollars (sorry I forgot!) which is a decent price for a 150ml product. No sudden breakouts and it removed a fair amount of oil. It didn't remove any blackheads, but the FaceShop has separate lines for blackheads and acne.
PROS CONS
-floral scent -can be drying if you use too much
-sensitive skin/ no breakouts -limited FaceShop stores around you
-makes face feel really soft -does not remove blackheads
-A LOT of product
-comes with other FaceShop samples
Where to get it? Manhattan FaceShops OR eBay OR Amazon
-Chinatown - Koreatown, Midtown West

How would I rate this product? 7/10!
I'm still going to use this until I find a better cleanser :)
