Like most women, I’m constantly in search of the perfect skin care products. This may seem funny coming from a mere 21 year old, but I take my hygiene seriously. I have sensitive, dry, finicky skin that’s easily irritated by synthetic, highly fragrant ingredients. I have spent my mid-teen to early twenties trying to find natural and/or high tech skin regimens that suit my needs. I’ve tried so many different products – and by that I mean A TON!! I’ve tried Aveda, Philosophy, Kinerase, Peter Thomas Roth, Murad, Presciptives, Boscia, Juice Beauty, and others that I can’t even remember. Not that these brands aren’t good, they’re great, but they didn’t fit my face cream and eye moisturizer fancy at the time. So every time it’s time to find a new product, I do my research and then head back to Sephora. This time I think I’ve found the Holy Grail.

For the past month or so I’ve been obsessed with Korres’ natural products; especially their Thyme Honey Cream, Evening Primrose Eye Cream, and SPF 30 Watermelon Sunscreen Face Cream. I can’t think of a bad thing to say about the products or the company! The products smell as great as the ingredients they come from, aren’t harsh, and last forever. I can literally use the Thyme Honey Cream at night and my face is still so supple in the morning, I don’t need to reuse it.
Korres was founded in 1989 in Athens, Greece by a pharmacist wanting to create his own homeopathic remedies and chemical engineer that helped him do it. The couple (George and Lena Korres) successfully launched their line of natural products in 1996, where up until then Korres Pharmacy had been the leading center for homeopathic medicine in Greece. Their products are without the synthetic compounds that lack potency and effectiveness, are known skin irritants, and are pore-clogging, unnatural, non-biodegradable chemicals. Instead they use various natural foods, flora, and herbs for the key benefits. To name are few: Greek Yogurt, Guava, Thyme Honey, Rye, Wild Rose, Sugar, and Eyebright (Euphrasia). Plus many of the ingredients Korres uses are native to Greece and are cultural staples of the country.

I can’t wait to use up my current non-Korres skin products so I can try so more! I think next on the list is their Watermelon Body Scrub and Guava Body Butter. For more information on Korres check out these sites:
