My review of Angels and Sages skincare products  
By
Carla Snuggs  

Hi friends! Back with another skincare review! I am always looking for clean skincare brands that actually deliver great results, so I was so thrilled when  I was able to try products from Angels and Sages Apothecary.  

 Angels and Sages Apothecary is a modern apothecary that offers professional grade holistic skincare, hair care, body care and much more. Angels and Sages Apothecary natural skincare brand created with the mission of bringing natural beauty solutions to your daily routine with a lineup of cruelty-free and sustainable products are tailored to meet the unique needs of all skin types. These natural skincare products contain plant-based ingredients that are gentle and nourishing for the skin. 

I spoke with owner, herbalist Dena Bradford, and we discussed my skincare concerns. My skin is chronically dull and dry and Dena suggested a regimen of products to help hydrate and revitalize my tired skin. I introduced the products in this blog post. I’ve been using them for 30 days. 

My Skincare Regimen with Angels and Sages Skincare 

Angels and Sages PROXIMA | Cellular Renewal Anti Aging Face Wash 

Description: Leave dry, dull skin behind with our all natural Proxima Cleanser – this gentle anti aging  gel based face wash is a facial cleanser for clear, clean skin is formulated with some powerhouse ingredients to keep your skin looking radiant and feeling smooth and supple. 

Sandalwood keeps skin clear, while propolis extract relieves clogged pores to brighten your skin. Proxima anti aging face wash bathes your skin in minerals with kelp and mineral complex for healthy skin function – boosted with vitamins, this cleanser is designed for everyday use and an everyday glow.  

My thoughts: Angels and Sages PROXIMA Cellular Renewal Anti Aging Face Wash is a game changer! After being disappointed with so many face washes that leave my skin feeling tight and dry, this luxurious face wash restores and renews my tired, dull skin leaving it looking brighter and smoother. The scent is delicate, yet refreshing. I usually double cleanse with a facial oil, especially when I am removing makeup. This cleanser does such a great job of removing makeup even without a double cleanse.  

 Luminous Skin Serum for Hydration + Balancing 

Description: Radiance is achievable with our all natural hydrating and balancing serum. Luminous serum offers you a powerful combination of phyto-nutrients found in nature. Luminous Serum contains Malura seed oil that is perfect for cleansing and nourishing even the most delicate of skin. It is packed with vitamin E and monounsaturated fatty acids that provide antioxidant benefits to fight aging, such as wrinkles or fine lines. Plus, this amazing serum has Pracaxi oil which has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties to take care of psoriasis, eczema, acne scars, burns or stretch marks. 

My thoughts: I cannot express enough how much I love Angels and Sages Luminous Skin Serum for Hydration Balancing! This is by far my favorite product from the line that I have tried. This magical serum has helped restore my skin’s hydration! Its unique blend of natural and organic ingredients has effectively balanced the oiliness of my skin while keeping it moisturized throughout the day. The lightweight and fast-absorbing formula makes it easy to apply and perfect for layering with other skincare products. I really feel like my glow is coming back. 

 Angels and Sages Replenishing Eye Cream | Ageless Eye Serum 

Description: Looking for a replenishing eye cream that will restore hydration and eliminate the appearance of fine lines and puffiness? Our Replenishing Eye Cream is the best choice for you! Our Replenishing Eye Cream is composed of naturally extracted shea butter and olive-derived squalane, which work together to seal in moisture and protect tender tissue. Shea butter is known for its softening effects and ability to counteract dehydration, while squalane limits dehydration while improving skin respiration. As a result, skin is strengthened and rejuvenated, and tone and suppleness restored. This makes our Replenishing Eye Cream particularly suited for dry and sensitive skins. In addition, our Replenishing Eye Cream contains dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline, which fights wrinkles by delivering quick mechanical action to relax and smooth facial expressions. 

My thoughts: I give Angels and Sages Replenishing Eye Cream Ageless Eye Serum two thumbs up! This serum has helped to minimize the puffiness and fine lines in such a short amount of time. I use it morning and at night. I’ve tried some really heavy eye creams – this eye serum it goes on light and smooth. My boyfriend, who has sensitive skin, loves it and I have noticed the delicate skin around the eye area has become so much smoother with regular use over a few weeks. 

 Angels and Sages Hydrating Daily Moisturizer 

Description: Angels and Sages Hydrating Daily Moisturizer was created to combat what we can't do ourselves; prevent aging skin cells from causing wrinkles or dryness and soothe the sensitive complexion of people with a plethora of sensitivities.For busy lives, our hydrating daily moisturizer is the perfect all-in-one formulation. It is enriched with Hyaluronic Acid to keep skin hydrated and give it a plump look, as well as antioxidants to defend against free radicals. 

My thoughts: A good hydrating daily moisturizer should leave the skin feeling nourished and supple, without leaving a greasy residue. This is what Angels and Sages Hydrating Daily Moisturizer does. Like all of the other products I tried, it felt lightweight and luxurious. I can feel my skin drinking it all in and at the same time doing a great job of “holding in” products underneath it to make the ingredients even more effective. This daily moisturizer is 10/10! 

Other products I tried: 

Angels and Sages LUNA Perfume for Keeping Intentions 

Angels and Sages Luna Perfume is a unique fragrance designed to help you maintain your intentions throughout the day. This product is very different from regular perfumes as it contains natural ingredients and essential oils that promote positive energy and encourage your mind to focus on your intentions. MANTRA: I sew the seeds that bring me closer to my hopes and dreams. 

It is a Limited Edition, only created during the light of the full moon to capture the energies and help manifestation. The ingredients are safe and formulated to be family and pet-friendly. It’s really dreamy and I’ve gotten a lot compliments on it. 

Angels and Sages Goddess Foaming Sugar Scrub 

Goddess Foaming Sugar Scrub : Enjoy an amazingly feminine soap and sugar scrub in one. This is the perfect pop of uplifting, sexy aromatherapy (without being too girly) to help lift your spirits and empower you to take on the day.You'll love the soft combination of Osmanthus flower, fluffy Marshmallow and a hint of Sensual Musk. All perfectly blended to remind you of the Goddess that you are. 
+ This is a foaming, whipped, creamy myrrh and lavender sugar scrub and soap in one. This whipped myrrh and lavender sugar scrub will leave your skin feeling smooth without the traditional greasy feeling other scrubs leave on your body (or in your bath or shower) .

My thoughts: This is the product that I hide because it’s my special little treat just for me! It’s fluffy so it doesn’t make a mess everywhere. It smells heavenly and my skin is SINGING afterward. This is a spring MUST-HAVE. 

Final thoughts: Angels and Sages Skincare Products are worth every penny because I am seeing real results, it is natural, vegan, luxrious and powerful. If I had to choose only two products, I’d choose the  Luminous Skin Serum for Hydration + Balancing and Replenishing Eye Cream | Ageless Eye Serum. When I use Angels and Sages Skincare, I feel like I’ve been to the spa. It’s definitely top tier!
