InstantPeel Review!

Having great skin is really important to me. It seems like its one of the first things people notice about you!  Finding products to get that desired look isn't always easy! I am constantly searching online, reading blog reviews and finding stuff on Facebook to help me find what others use! Recently I was introduced to Instantpeel!

Product Description
The Instantpeel Natural Exfoliant is one of the most exciting, powerful yet gentle products on the market that is polluted with goods that promise beauty heaven, but deliver just a big price tag. This peel sticks to its promises, for a fraction of the money one would spend in a beauty salon. Instantpeel is easy to use while taking a shower. it is amazing how smoothly dead skin peels off without irritating healthy skin layers. After the short treatment, the skin feels soft and silky with a radiant complexion. I highly recommend Instantpeel to every one who desires younger and healthier looking facial skin.

I liked this product because as soon as I used it my skin felt softer, and less oily! My skin is dry and oily (what an odd combo!) so it can be difficult to find products that really work for my face.  This product removes the old dead skin leaving your face fresh and rejuvenated! It will be a little red for a bit, but it goes away leaving beautiful skin! This is a great product for any woman to try!!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Spring Skin Renewal with Repechage!

My skin has had a rough winter, and it is ready to come out of it's shell! I loved trying out Repechage's Hydra Refine!   I was looking for a great oily skin treatment and was excited to find the Hydra Refine! It goes on great before my shower and leaves my face clear, clean and refreshed! It feels amazing and it really smells great! I love the combination of the ingredients!

Professional skin care does come at a price. This tubes costs $31 but it has lasted me a long time, especially since it's not something I use daily. Since my skin tends to get sensitive, I usually only use the mask 2-3 times a week as needed for oil control. The kids think it's pretty funny to see it on me!  I love the way it feels when it's all done-my skin is smooth and feels so CLEAN!   The day wreaks havoc on my skin, so it feels amazing to slough it all away and start fresh!

Product Description:

Hydra Refine^® redefines oily skin care with a line of five products that balance your skin’s pH, controlling the production of oil while maintaining facial moisture.  If you’re wondering how it’s possible to fight oil while keeping skin moisturized, the answer lies in the four main ingredients that define Hydra Refine^®: Laminaria Saccharina Seaweed, Lemongrass, Farnesol (Lily of the Valley),and Cucumber

Using this product at home saves money by skipping costly facial treatments.  It is fun to do beauty treatments with your girl friends, daughters or even as a way to relax at the end of the day!  Keeping your skin clear and fresh is really important if you want to keep it youthful.  Taking care of your skin even in your younger years is the best way to maintain a healthy youthful look.  Repechage is a great company that offers amazing products to help you look your best longer!  I love their selection of beauty products! There is skin care products for all ages, to help maintain or improve your skin! Beauty is what you make it, and using Repechage to make it beautiful is a great choice!

Tropical Traditions Skin Exfoliator Review & Giveaway

I absolutely love Tropical Traditions! I have featured this company many times on my blog, and love their coconut oil based products! I am doing another review with them, and this time I am trying the Unscented Skin Exfoliator! This exfoliator is really great! It is a mix of sea salt, organic Virgin coconut oil, organic jojoba and organic Virgin palm oil.  I have tried lots of exfoliators but I think this is my favorite!

The first time I used this exfoliator I immediately noticed a difference! The sea salt gets rid of the dead skin cells, and the oils help to moisturize.  It left me feeling a bit greasy for a little bit, but once my skin absorbed the oils my skin felt very soft. It works really great on all parts of the body, I especially like it for the feet! And since it's unscented even a guy could use it without feeling girly.  There are no alcohols, artificial fragrances or petroleum in the exfoliator.  This is something every one should definitely try to help with dry skin! Exfoliating is a really important part of your routine, and this stuff works great! 

The founders of Tropical Traditions are Brian and Marianita Shilhavy.  In 1998 Brian  and Marianita returned to the Philippines with their three children and renovated Marianita's old family farmhouse. By this time the coconut industry was severely depressed due to the negative U.S. campaigns against tropical oils in the 1980s and 1990s. Coconut farmers could no longer support their families on the income generated from harvesting coconuts. This couple tried a method the older generation used to extract the oil by grating the fresh coconut, extracting the coconut milk, and then letting the coconut milk stand in a covered container for about 24 hours. After about 24 hours, the oil naturally separates from the water producing a crystal clear oil that retains the full scent and taste of coconuts.  This proved successful, and they began using this for their own families.  They still use traditional methods for their products today!

One of you will win your own Skin Exfoliator!!  Here is how to win!

Youth Corridor Anti Aging System Review & Giveaway!

 Even at the young age of 24, I am terrified of what will happen to my skin as it ages.  I am already looking for that "fountain of youth" and great products to help keep me looking young.  Youth Corridor is a great product to help get the results I am looking for!


About Youth Corridor:Proper skin care is a key component to this strategy, and the youth corridor line of skin care products represents the most effective, natural and scientific way to prevent and reverse skin aging.
The centerpiece of the Youth Corridor product line is Youth Corridor Antioxidant Boost, a unique serum that incorporates the natural antioxidant melatonin along with high concentrations of vitamins C and E. This combination has been shown to dramatically increase the antioxidant properties of vitamins C and E alone, and no other product offers this scientific advantage.

All Youth Corridor skin care products are paraben free, and meant to be used in a synergistic program to prevent accelerated skin damage, combat free radical damage, encourage collagen production, and smooth the skin and equalize skin tones.

This skin care product smells great, which I think is important. I don't want some icky smelling stuff going on my face! It's a little too early to see if it is going to make a difference, but I think that with continual use of this product I should be able to maintain a youthful look for a long time! Youth Corridor offers a variety of products, so check them out and see which ones best fit your needs!

Tropical Traditions Arnica Moisturizing Lotion Review & Giveaway!

One product I have to use daily is lotion. If I skip any other routine I will be okay. But I have to use lotion for my dry itchy skin. I have to avoid certain lotions, which cause my skin to become even more irritated. I prefer natural ingredients to keep my skin healthy.  I love Tropical Traditions Arnica Moisturizing Lotion! This lotion is made from great ingredients that keep my skin moisturized without feeling greasy!


The smell of this lotion is amazing.  It is unlike any lotion I have tried before! This is a great massage lotion, and especially for those tired muscles!  The unique combination of ingredients creates a very relaxing scent!  This lotion goes on well and absorbs within a few minutes.  I am even able to use it on my youngest daughters skin, and she has eczema.  She has had no reactions to this lotion and I have used it on her many times.  I really love this lotion!

 

How Tropical Traditions Organic Moisturizing Lotions are Different

Filipinos are well-known for their youthful appearance and soft skin, even though they live in a climate that exposes them to the sun’s rays year round. Coconut oil is their main dietary oil, and is also the main ingredient in their skin care products.

All of the moisturizing lotions that Tropical Traditions offers are made with organic Virgin Coconut Oil and Virgin Palm Oil. No other products on the market are made with finer oils as their base. Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil is traditionally made from fresh organic coconuts, and independent laboratory tests show that it has a higher level of antioxidants than other coconut oils.

The founders of Tropical Traditions are Brian and Marianita Shilhavy.  In 1998 Brian  and Marianita returned to the Philippines with their three children and renovated Marianita's old family farmhouse. By this time the coconut industry was severely depressed due to the negative U.S. campaigns against tropical oils in the 1980s and 1990s. Coconut farmers could no longer support their families on the income generated from harvesting coconuts. This couple tried a method the older generation used to extract the oil by grating the fresh coconut, extracting the coconut milk, and then letting the coconut milk stand in a covered container for about 24 hours. After about 24 hours, the oil naturally separates from the water producing a crystal clear oil that retains the full scent and taste of coconuts.  This proved successful, and they began using this for their own families.  They still use traditional methods for their products today!

Phat QR Anti Cellulite Deep Tissue Massager Review & Giveaway!

After having 3 kids in just 5 years (and ok alot of time sitting on the computer :p) I have gotten some cellulite.  Yuck.  What is cellulite? Cellulite affects 90 percent of women and 10 percent of men, mostly in industrial nations. As women start approaching menopause, estrogen starts decreasing. From 25 to 35 is when we start seeing the appearance of cellulite. Estrogen has an impact on the blood vessels. When estrogen starts to decrease, we lose receptors in blood vessels and thighs, so we have decreased circulation. With decreased circulation we get less oxygen and nutrition to that area, and with that we see a decrease in collagen production…. At that time fat cells start becoming larger, they begin protruding through the collagen and cellulite starts showing up. Also as we get older we tend to get less active and consume more of the "comfort foods" that usually is full of trans fats and sugars. Cellulite is a collection of stagnant fat cells underneath of skin that needs to be broken down by frequent massaging that improves circulation. Exercise and sensible diet is another "trick" that works, but not all of us like this "trick". We do like a short cut.

And Phat QR Anti Cellulite Deep Tissue Massager from Skin QR Product is here to offer that short cut. It's a simple device that replaces a massage terapist and expensive lazer treatments. Can be used by anyone on any part of the body. How it works? It's a hand held device constructed with 7 deep set metal spheres that roll on your skin and provide deep tissue massage improving circulation and delivering oxygen to the stagnant cells. It breaks down bulging and uneven fat cells "ironing" out the surface of the skin.

Warning: If you are not accustomed to a regular deep tissue massage, first few massage sessions may cause light to moderate bruising. Starting light is essential to avoid bruising.

I got to try this out.  They weren't kidding! I did get some bruising on the back of my right leg, so you have to be careful!   But it did feel nice to get a good massage, and I think that the massager is helping with my cellulite.  I think with continued use it will be more improved! I also recommend regular exercise and a good diet to help!

You can win your own massager!! Here is  how to win!:

Check out Weleda's History!

It all goes back to 1921 and something called anthroposophy. This movement, stemming from the teachings of philosopher Dr. Rudolf Steiner, encourages the individual to see his or her body, mind and spirit as intrinsically linked to our world; all part of one holistic system.
And so Steiner, along with Dr. Ita Wegman, got together with a team of dedicated scientists and doctors to determine just how they might use this philosophy to take care of their patients’ needs. They understood that a human body has a remarkable ability to heal itself, but sometimes it needs a little help. So they developed a personal approach to health care using natural ingredients that can holistically work with and support our own body’s healing tendencies.
They started by creating one of the world’s first Biodynamic^® gardens to grow what they needed. Sound new agey? It’s actually old agey—what cultures around the world have done successfully for generations.
It was successful for our founders too.

Patients were healed, wellness and balance were restored to them, and never once was a synthetic chemical or lab-made preservative used in the process.
The company’s new name couldn’t have been more appropriate: Weleda, after the Celtic goddess of wisdom and healing.
Soon, word got around about the innovative, effective work Weleda was doing and the company spread from Switzerland, to Germany and into North America and the world. Today we’re proud to have offices and partnerships in more than 50 countries. 
And yet despite our success, not a whole lot has changed. We still cultivate our own Biodynamic^® gardens. We still believe natural ingredients truly provide what a body needs to be vibrant, beautiful and well. We still put the health and well-being of you above all else.
And we continue to grow, spreading our passion for beauty, wellness and environmental respect around the world.

How Did a Skin Cancer Researcher End Up In the Beauty Business?

"With the right skincare products, you can achieve at home – what it once took a visit to a dermatologist to accomplish."

Dr. Dennis Gross, Manhattan dermatologist, has devoted his life to the science of skincare. Skin, the largest organ of the body, is the first to show signs of both external and internal health. The quality and scope of his education and research inspired a passion within to fight the deadly epidemic of skin cancer. During his early years as a dermatologist, Dr. Gross would spend hours “in the field” conducting free skin cancer screenings in and around New York City, educating the public about this life-threatening disease. In addition to disease prevention, Dr. Gross also saw a need to reverse sun damage, the number one cause of aging and wrinkles. He immediately began educating his patients about the importance of sun protection – not only for melanoma prevention, but as a beauty treatment. Within a few short years, he became one of the most respected and sought-after dermatologists in the country.

In his private practice, Dr. Gross witnessed his patients’ quest for beauty and their dissatisfaction with the scope of beauty treatments available to address everything from aging to acne. With chemical peels becoming increasingly popular, he observed a phenomenon he describes as “over-exfoliation.” These peels produced chronic inflammation and sabotaged the beauty and health of his patients’ skin. Determined to improve upon these harsh and ineffective treatments, he formulated the Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel originally created as a treatment for use on his patients.

"The results were so profound that I knew I had something radically better than what was out there," Gross said.

The Alpha Beta® Professional System was soon formulated for estheticians to administer in a spa setting nationwide. Simultaneously, Gross formulated the Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel for everyday, at-home use. Now wildly popular, this non-irritating, microexfoliating™ treatment eliminates dullness, fights aging, treats breakouts, shrinks pores and calms redness (just to name a few). The synergy between the professional version found in spas and the at-home version, purchased to maintain skin between professional treatments, delivers immediate, visible firming and enhanced radiance.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare™ (formerly MD Skincare® by Dr. Dennis Gross) was established in 2002 as a line of multi-tasking products that help skin meet its most beautiful potential – providing dramatic results within days and a long-term transformation with continued use. Inspired by his loyal following, Dr. Gross formulates every product himself, combining a blend of the best natural antioxidants, vitamins and botanicals with the most scientifically advanced delivery systems.

Whether it's satisfying patients’ requests for clinical-strength products or discovering the next big skincare trend, Gross stays true to what Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare™ is all about, "With the right skincare products, you can achieve at home – what it once took a visit to a dermatologist to accomplish," Gross said.

"You can't visit a dermatologist every day but you can use the same formulations I use."

I love the facial wipes because they leave me feeling fresh and clean at any time! They are the perfect size to take anywhere: work, the gym, or for a night out!! It also left my face feeling a little firmer and soft! I didn't need moisturizer like usual!! If using to remove makeup at night, you will need more than one wipe. They are really more for a quick clean, not for end of the day washing. However you could if needed. The cloths are small and that is why they aren't ideal for use to remove alot of makeup. But like I said they are great for a quick job when you're feeling greasy or icky!
