Clemency Alice

I love the Internet because it connect us with the most interesting and inspiring people.  Through this blog I was able to connect with the lovely Clemency, a facialist from New Zealand.  She has her own shop and online shop, Clemency Alice.

Clemency is a leading skincare expert and facialist extraordinaire who has always had a true passion for beauty and organic skincare. This passion has been the foundation of establishing Clemency Alice where she upholds a strong belief in a highly personalised approach. Having obtained her Diploma from the National School of Aesthetics and received distinctions for her work in the spa industry, Clemency aims to bring the highest standard and quality into every facial treatment. She strives to keep abreast of the latest research in skincare, traveling overseas for further training and uses active organic products to assist her clients in achieving measurable, significant results.

While my husband dragged me away as I was clicking to buy a ticket and visit her immediately, Clemency was packing a gorgeous package of goodies containing the best-selling MV Organic Skincare.  A little bit on MV Organic Skincare:

A true skincare artisan, Sharon McGlinchey’s passion, love and attention to detail have set a precedent in the formulation of organic skincare. With a cult following around the world; MV is endorsed by everyone from health and beauty journalists, holistic GPs and naturopaths to internationally-renowned makeup artist Dotti, facialist to the stars Nichola Joss, British supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whitely and actor Maggie Gyllenhaal.Sharon’s flair with essential oils and her generous use of rare and precious oils add a unique sensory experience to a daily skin care regime. Transcending ‘routine’ and moving into the realms   of ‘pure ritual’, MV allows us a moment in the day to experience something incredibly nurturing and beautiful.

Clemency wrapped the package with the utmost care and I opened up what have now become my favorite skincare items!  I am in love with all of the items I have tried and it makes me all the more eager to visit Clemency Alice in New Zealand.

So back to the goodies from MV Organic Skincare. The MV Gentle Cream Cleanser is formulated with Rose, Chamomile & Mandarin for all skins, particularly extra-sensitive.  It is 75% organic.  

A beauty editors’ favourite, this unique moisturising cream cleanser removes all traces of make-up and grime, leaving the skin clean, soft and re-energized without stripping.  It is truly universal and works for all skin types.  I adore the scent and better yet it works just as well on my dry parched, skin as it does on my husbands oily t-zone.  

The 80% organic Rose Moisturiser is so gentle and smells like the freshest cut bouquet.  A favourite with make-up artists around the world, this restorative and protective cream is an ideal make-up base. It also works perfectly blended with all MV Skin Boosters. So gentle it calms and soothes even the most sensitive and reactive skin conditions, including rosacea and eczema.  I am as picky as you can get about moisturizers and I am truly in love with this.  I don't experience the redness and irritation that so many moisturizers give me.  It does its job, but it somehow light enough to use under makeup.

I think the biggest surprise for me has been the Pure Jojoba.   MV Pure Jojoba is an exceptional eye make-up remover and eye treatment product which nourishes, softens and protects the skin without clogging the pores. The seed of a desert shrub, MV Pure Jojoba is not an oil at all but a unique liquid wax that closely resembles the skin’s own sebum. This makes it highly compatible with the delicate skin inside the circle of the eye. This superfine wax with naturally occurring vitamin A, D & E is also perfect light moisturiser for use on the face, neck and body.  I add a few drops to my moisturizer on super-dry summer days.  I also use this to soothe my daughter's skin.  I was so surprised that an oil could be so gentle, and yet so effective.

If you live in New Zealand (lucky dog), get yourself as fast as you can to see this wonderful woman and let her give you a facial that will change your life.  If like me, you cannot make it to see Clemency yourself, then place a nice online order of these  MV Organic Skincare beauties.
