Spring is almost here! Get a head start on spring cleaning by discarding your old and expired makeup and skincare products! Don’t worry, I’ve compiled a list of  four (4) beauty products to restock and refresh your skincare collection.

ATTITUDE’s facial cleansing foam is made with natural ingredients containing a gentle surfactant (disodium cocoyl glutamate) that deeply cleanses and detoxifies your skin without irritating it, while reducing the adhesion of pollutants. The vegan formula contains watercress and Indian cress super leaves, known for their regenerative properties and high vitamin and mineral content. Designed for all skin types, this dermatologically tested EWG VERIFIED™ micellar cleanser can also remove light makeup.

Review:  These products were given to me in exchange for providing a fair and honest opinion.  ATTITUDE’s Micellar Foaming Cleanser is refreshing and a perfect way to either wake up with in the morning or wind down with at night.  I experienced no irritation and my skin felt quite clean and ready for the day or night.

ATTITUDE’s Micellar Foaming Cleanser is offered in three different scents and unscented.  The unscented version provides the same spectacular results as the scented ones, it just doesn’t contain a scent that might be bothersome to a few.  The Lemon Leaves scent is quite refreshing in the morning, while I found that the White Tea Leaves scent to be relaxing into the night.  The Orange Leaves scent was perfect for both day and night.  All-in-all, this product is excellent and I highly recommend it!
