Fact of life: with cool weather comes dry skin. Either you prevent it or ignore this nuisance. But for the skincare and/or beauty-obsssessed, you and I know there is a solution. A plethora at that.

I had the opportunity to try Reviva Labs Hawaiian Seaweed Cleansing Milk ($8, 4 fl oz) and Hawaiian Seaweed Beauty Mask ($12, 1.5 oz). Do they have to be specifically Hawaiian seaweeds to reap stellar results? I eat ’em but to put on my face, you bet my curiosity was through the roof.
Much like the Swiss green apple stem theory, anti-aging proponents found a goldmine in seaweeds. Depending on how “scientific” they are marketed, seaweed-infused products can be spendy. Hawaiian seaweeds are purported to be rich in proteins, vitamins A and C, and other vital minerals.
Hawaiian Seaweed Cleansing Milk looks and feels like a moisturizer. It’s thicker compared to other cleansers I have tried. I like how my face feels after washing, it’s soft and smooth akin to a baby’s butt. Minor gripe, I wish it came with a dispensing pump because squeezing the product out was a tad difficult.
Ingredients: Purified Water, Vegetable Oils, Coco Betaine, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Hawaiian Seaweed Extract, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth 20, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Fragrance.
I like face masks because I associate it with “me time a.k.a don’t dare disturb me or else”. I do it 3x a week for 30 minutes. Hawaiian Seaweed Beauty Mask feels creamy but dries like a mud. Immediately after rinsing, my skin looks fresh and hydrated. Now that’s what I call winter-ready skin.

Have you tried any seaweed-based products? thoughts?
That cleansing milk sounds heavenly
I tried the mask and I wish I had better luck with it! Something in it my acne hated 🙁 I'm glad you had success with it though!
I love Reviva! They have such great products at a super price point!
I'm obsessed with their cleansing milk! The mask and me time sound heavenly.
I keep looking at these two products. Must buy them. I love a good masque, love anything hydrating… Because dried up old hag… And that cleanser has been calling to me. I'll buy it, soon. I love Reviva. 😀
I live on the East Coast by the ocean, and everyone here says that seaweed is great for skin…though I haven't tried crafting my own from the seaweed on the beach. I like all the products I've tried from Reviva. They are the best value in effective skincare products!
I love the mask!!!
I love Reviva Labs! I hadn't heard of these two products, though. I need that masque!
I need both of these! I hate this cold dry weather!
I love the cleansing milk! I've used it for a year now
Going on my "must try" list!
My skin seems to get drier with every season. Cold weather makes it dry. Sunshine makes it dry. I can't win!
A mud mask that hydrates..mama want!
I love the brand !
I've been using Reviva Labs products for over a year now, and love them all !
