As you can imagine, the ingredients lists were put under pedantic examination as I tried to pick out products from this lovely bunch &#8211; all in all it took me about three nights to decide! I loved the lotus flower toner so much that I wanted another bottle for myself, but in the name of professionalism\u00a0I had to try out something new.

My skin has suffered from blemishes and dryness this spring, so I chose the creamy <a href=\"https:\/\/c.trackmytarget.com\/xdwj45?r=https:\/\/www.joliebeauty.com\/amala-hydrating-yogurt-mask\">Hydrating Yoghurt Mask.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been using the products for two weeks now.\u00a0I&#8217;m able to give a more in-depth review about the toner and the mask, but the serum calls for eight weeks for visible results.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00372-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14807\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00372-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"938\" height=\"1400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00372-2.jpg 938w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00372-2-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00372-2-768x1146.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00372-2-686x1024.jpg 686w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00372-2-536x800.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 938px) 100vw, 938px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>No matter how much I longed for <a href=\"https:\/\/c.trackmytarget.com\/xdwj45?r=https:\/\/www.joliebeauty.com\/amala-purifying-toner\">the lotus flower toner<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/c.trackmytarget.com\/xdwj45?r=https:\/\/www.joliebeauty.com\/amala-rejuvenating-toner\">cocoa beans<\/a> did not disappoint. When it comes to Amala, a toner is not just a toner.\u00a0A more accurate term would be a <em>liquid skincare concentrate<\/em>. For me, toners are one of the most important products and I&#8217;m willing to invest\u00a0in them. This rejuvenating toner contains 99 % organically grown ingredients &#8211; everything else is organic except the water.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00884-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14814\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00884-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00884-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00884-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00884-2-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00884-2-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00884-2-800x531.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The key ingredient in <a href=\"https:\/\/c.trackmytarget.com\/xdwj45?r=https:\/\/www.joliebeauty.com\/amala-rejuvenating-toner\">this toner<\/a> is cocoa bean extract, which stimulates microcirculation and keeps the surface of the skin elastic, while an immense amount of antioxidants protects the skin from free radicals. Hibiscus flower extract provides deep moisture, strengthens the skin and reduces fine lines. Liquorice root extract is anti-inflammatory and brightens the skin tone. The toner also contains pore-minimizing, gently exfoliating willow extract as well as ribwort plantain extract, aloe vera, orange flower water, damascus rose water and vanilla. The scent is good enough to want to eat &#8211; a lovely mixture of coca beans and vanilla. Spraying this toner on almost helps with your sweet cravings, or at least there is something very comforting about it. The toner is very moisturizing and leaves your skin beautifully soft.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00793-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14811\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00793-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00793-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00793-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00793-2-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00793-2-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00793-2-800x531.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I had to wait a bit for my blemishes to heal before trying out<a href=\"https:\/\/c.trackmytarget.com\/xdwj45?r=https:\/\/www.joliebeauty.com\/amala-hydrating-yogurt-mask\"> the mask<\/a>,\u00a0to see if it could help with my tight and dry skin.\u00a0The consistency is irresistible: jasmine scented, velvety and creamy. I massage\u00a0a generous amount of the mask on my skin, throat and even under the eyes and let it sit there for well over 30 minutes. The mask has given me the results I was hoping for: it has made my skin soft and elastic and helped to heal the flaking and dry\u00a0blemish scars. The mask does not leave your skin feeling clogged, but instead of rinsing it out I do recommend removing the mask with a muslin cloth or a facial sponge soaked in warm water.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00772-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14810\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00772-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00772-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00772-2-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00772-2-768x534.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00772-2-1024x713.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00772-2-800x557.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The key ingredients in <a href=\"https:\/\/c.trackmytarget.com\/xdwj45?r=https:\/\/www.joliebeauty.com\/amala-hydrating-yogurt-mask\">the mask<\/a> are jasmine flower extract and jasmine flower water, which moisturize the skin and protect it from free radicals. Macadamia oil softens the skin and strengthens the skin&#8217;s immunity. Rose hip oil rejuvenates (fades blemish scars) and protects the skin. Hydrolyzed milk protein moisturizes and improves skin elasticity, and I suppose that&#8217;s where the Yoghurt Mask got its name from. These are the ingredients Amala\u00a0points out on their website, but the mask includes a lot\u00a0more worth mentioning, such as rejuvenating papaya extract, purifying willow extract, brightening ribwort plantain and essential oils from orange, lemon, cloves, sandalwood and rosewood. Of skin nourishing oils I must mention avocado oil, almond oil, shea butter and olive oil.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00615-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14808\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00615-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"927\" height=\"1400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00615-2.jpg 927w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00615-2-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00615-2-768x1160.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00615-2-678x1024.jpg 678w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00615-2-530x800.jpg 530w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 927px) 100vw, 927px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t yet review the effects of <a href=\"https:\/\/c.trackmytarget.com\/xdwj45?r=https:\/\/www.joliebeauty.com\/amala-brightening-corrective-concentrate\">the brightening serum<\/a>, but at least the consistency is wonderful and the moisturizing effect is excellent.

Willow extract exfoliates the skin\u00a0in a keratolytic way, purifies and brightens the skin. Ascophyllum (rockweed) extract blocks melanin production and contains protecting polyphenols. It also boosts cell turnover, which brightens dull and uneven skin tone. The combination of seven Alpine plants (mallow, peppermint, cowslip, lady&#8217;s mantle, heath speedwell, yarrow and melissa) evens out skin tone and lightens hyperpigmentation.<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients also worth mentioning: daisy, common yarrow, red currant, summer lilac, thyme, curry plant, hyaluronic acid and zinc &#8211; ingredients that lighten and brighten the skin, block free radicals and trap moisture in. This is a\u00a0strong concentrate to treat liver spots and there are no useless filler ingredients in the product. Considering the content, the price\u00a0does not seem atrocious &#8211; especially since\u00a0Amala has agreed to pay a higher price for their ingredients in order to ensure high quality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00148-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14804\" src=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00148-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00148-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00148-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00148-2-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00148-2-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_00148-2-800x531.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is that certain something, a certain magic in Amala &#8211; similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/en\/changing-the-world-with-nyr\/\">Neal&#8217;s Yard Remedies,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/en\/tata-harper-eng1\/\">Tata Harper<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/katjakokko.com\/en\/may-lindstroms-garden\/\">May Lindstrom. <\/a>Dedication with a whole heart, expertise and strong vision.
