Manuke Honey Balm by Pureuty Naturals

As we approach into March, winds and changing of the weather is to be expected here in Southeast Missouri.  With the changing of the weather comes the condition of our skin.  Winter weather tends to dry our skin, sometimes leaving it so dry that we have either cracking skin or just dry flaky skin.

I always keep lotion on hand, just because I tend to be one of those with extremely dry skin through the colder months.  But other than lotions, there are other products out there that work just as well, with great results...Balms.

Pureauty Naturals has this awesome honey balm that reminds me of a lip balm in a jar.  The balm contains Graded Manuka Honey, Bees Wax, Olive Oil and Sunflower Seed Oil...all natural ingredients.  It is great for dry hands, the neck, face and any dry area that you have.  It is a balm, so you will continuously have to swipe the balm from the jar to get the desired amount.

It leaves a soft sheen on the hands without feeling oily or greasy.  The ingredients of the balm quickly penetrates into the skin, leaving the skin feeling soft and moisturized.  I can't stand dry flaky looking hands and this balm works wonders for that!  I also love the glass jar the balm is in...the balm just looks so elegant, luxurious in this jar and the size of the jar makes it easy to carry in your purse or take it wherever you go.  

I have used other products by Pureauty Naturals and the brand is one of my favorites, due to the all natural ingredients that actually work.

Oxygenate Your Skin with Liquid Oxygen - Breakthrough #OxygenScience

I'm a huge skin care junkie. There, I admit it!  Anytime I see something that may help reverse the signs of aging and help my skin look it's best as long as it can, I have to try it.  But sometimes there's that one product that really grabs my attention; a product that really stands out from the rest because of it's many positive reviews and it's total uniqueness.  Ok...I'll let you in on my new product...but only because I want you to experience it as well!

Liquid Oxygen is a breakthrough in Oxygen Science.  Liquid Oxygen Products Oxygenate your skin, promoting healing, skin cell rejuvenation, which is gentle to your skin and will not dry it out.  Liquid Oxygen penetrates deep into your pores where it matters the most and it's dermatologist recommended!

What I love about Liquid Oxygen, is that it is formulated for ALL skin types, especially for sensitive skin and their products delivers vitamins A,C,D and E. I've only been using Liquid Oxygen for a couple days now and I am already loving the way it makes my skin feel, especially the Facial Toner!  

First of all, let me start off by saying...I don't think I've ever used a facial toner (shame on me!), maybe in my teen years, but never in my adult years.  I'm not really sure how a facial toner is suppose to react to the skin, but I do know one thing...this Liquid Oxygen Facial Toner really brought my face alive with all the tingling sensations and then a burst of coolness to my face.  At first, I didn't know what to think about this feeling, tingling sensation but after a couple of uses, I was actually looking forward to it, weird, I know!

The Liquid Oxygen's Facial Cleanser with Hyaluronic Acid was just as amazing.  It removed every bit of my makeup from my face, leaving it looking exceptionally fresh and clean. It doesn't take much of the facial cleanser to get a nice lather, to remove all the dirt, makeup and debris.  After cleansing my face with Liquid Oxygen's Facial Cleanser, I finished up with the toner.

Liquid Oxygen also has other products in their line.  If you are prone to acne and blackhead breakouts, Liquid Oxygen has three products that you should try.  They are effective on day one!  I've read tons of awesome reviews on these products and let me remind you...they are dermatologist recommended and a 30 day money back guarantee!



Liquid Oxygen Acne Products
*Liquid Oxygen Acne Wash
*Liquid Oxygen Blackhead Astringent
*Liquid Oxygen Anti-Acne Facial Moisturizer

Liquid Oxygen Acne Wash
This is the first step in your skin care routine for acne.  This product, like the others, contains no Benzoyle Peroxide, which can cause drying out of the skin.  It is alcohol free, paraben free as well as fragrance free.  It will leave your skin feeling hydrated and soft.  It contains Oxygen...not benzoyle peroxide!

     *Mix with warm water, in hand and wash the entire affected area for one full minute.  
          rinse thoroughly.  You can use this product up to three times a day, but is 
          recommend to start off with just once a day and then increase.

Liquid Oxygen Blackhead Astringent
This is the second step.  Use this after your Acne Wash or facial cleanser. Use on clean dry skin and do not rinse off.  Follow up with facial moisturizer. The Blackhead Astringent is non-drying and removes dirt, reduces pore size, hydrates, tones and softens through the power of oxygen!

Liquid Oxygen Anti-Acne Facial Moisturizer
This is the 3rd step in your acne skin care treatment.  This is applied after cleansing and toning and can be used twice, daily.  Start off with just once a day and then increase, as needed.  It restores hydration while treating acne.  Active all day to keep pores clean through the power of oxygen.

Reach The Sky You Must - Japanese Kumquat Hand & Body Lotion by Zandra Beauty

I don't know about you, but I LOVE hand lotions!  I love all the different types of scents that lotions have, the soft and silky feeling that it leaves my hands and all the wonderful designed bottles. (yep, I'm one of those that's attracted to the bottle design!)  

Etsy has tons of lotions, that are handmade, by Etsy sellers; but this is the first Etsy item, that I've seen that is, "As Seen On..." This awesome hand and body lotion is by Zandra Beauty.  Zandra Beauty has Artisan Soaps & Body Care that has been seen in and on; USA Today, NBC, Today, ABC Nightline, TEDx, Nickelodeon, Black Enterprise, Time Warner, Seventeen Magazine, Girl Scouts, Girls Inc. and more.

This lotion smells so good and it is a very nice thick lotion that is not thin, like some I've tried in the past.  It has a Japanese Kumquat scent that smells wonderful and has a rich, creamy feeling that I love in a lotion.  Another thing that really drew me to this lotion was the bottle.  I absolutely love the creative design and writing on this bottle!  

The bottle has a pump nozzle that easily dispenses the lotion. Each bottle has it's own unique saying (Reach The Sky You Must, You're Perfect Just As You Are, Dream Wide-Dream Tall- Dream Big.)  This lotion is an 8 oz. bottle.  Zandra Beauty has this lotion, plus 36 more beauty items, ranging in Artisan Soap Bars, Balms, Bath and Body Wash, Moisturizers, Exfoliating Scrubs and Gift Bundles.

Zandra Beauty products are: Plant-Based, All-Natural, Cruelty Free, Paraben Free & Biodegradable.  These are ALL the things that I love in a product!  This lotion will leave your skin feeling so soft, pampered and luxurious.  It absorbs very well into your skin, but without a greasy feeling.  

The Big Balm, shown in the photo above with Zandra's lotion, is a BIG BALM! This is not your ordinary sized lip balm!  The balm stick has a nice feel in the hands and the balm, itself, leaves my lips feeling very moisturized and I love easily it glides on. The balm, just like the lotion, has a unique and fun label design, that can not be mistaken by any other brand. It too, is the Japanese Kumquat scent/flavor.

You can find these items, plus much more, by visiting ZandraBeauty on Etsy. Zandra has beauty items that will appeal to anyone and everyone and remember...her brand has been featured and seen in and on several magazines and tv.

100% All Natural Cocoa Butter & Bentonite Clay - Face, Body and Hair

How many of you have heard the great benefits of Cocoa Butter?  Cocoa Butter is used in many lotions, soaps and skin products and is great in fading dark marks, good for stretch marks & imperfections.  

When using Cocoa Butter that is not combined with other ingredients to make a lotion, and that has Vitamin E and Aloe added, you get this creamy, soft whipped like consistency that feels so great on the skin and smells really good.

This Cocoa Butter shown here, available at TWAA Naturals Etsy Shop, has just that.  It is 100% Cocoa Butter with the addition of Vitamin E and Aloe.  Vitamin E is great for reducing wrinkles and fine lines and is a great antioxidant. Aloe serves as a great moisturizer and helps with reducing inflammation as well as acting as an anti-aging solution.

There are many uses for Cocoa Butter!  From moisturizing and adding shine to your hair to softening your feet, hands and lips. And for those who make their own soaps...you can add Cocoa Butter for that moisturizing bar of soap!

TWAA Naturals Etsy Shop has this Cocoa Butter available in a 2 oz and 4 oz. jar. TWAA Naturals Etsy Shop also has this Bentonite Clay.  What is Bentonite Clay, you ask?  Bentonite Clay is this grayish looking clay powder, that can be mixed with water or apple cider vinegar, to make a facial mask.  It is 100% natural and can also be used on the hair as a deep conditioning treatment.

Don't feel intimidated by Bentonite Clay.  It's very very easy to use.  All you have to do is take out the amount of clay you want to use, add a little water or apple cider vinegar and add your favorite essential oils.  Mix well with a wooden spoon and apply a thin layer to face and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.  Rinse thoroughly and apply moisturizer.

To use as a hair treatment: Using the same directions above, apply to your hair, starting at the scalp and working your way down to the ends of your hair.  Let the clay mixture set on your hair for 15-20 minutes (with a cap on) and then rinse thoroughly.

Both of these are great products.  I have used TWAA Naturals Cocoa Butter as a hand moisturizer and love the silky feeling.  Absolutely perfect for dry hands! The Bentonite Clay - very easy to use and making your own face mask couldn't be easier or fun!

Go check out TWAA Naturals Etsy Shop for these and other items.  They have 31 items in their shop ranging from Health & Beauty, Hair & Body to Oils and Essential Oils.

Virgin Argan Oil Review

The Virgin Argan Oil, by North Coast Products, is one of the first bottles of Argan Oil I've received that comes in a generous 4 oz bottle.   I'm so thrilled about this, because the 2.7 oz bottle that I currently have, has lasted me around 3 months and it's still over halfway full!  I know this bottle will last twice as long, if not longer.

The first thing I noticed about this Virgin Argan Oil, is that it's in a very dark bottle with a dark label...very nice labeling.  The second thing I've noticed, it that instead of a dropper, it has a pump spray...very different than what I'm used to, but good.

Argan Oil has become popular lately, due to it's moisturizing benefits for hair, nails, skin and face.  I use the Argan Oil, nearly everyday for my face, as I love the glow it gives to my skin, especially when I've applied makeup and the makeup tends to hide the natural glow of my face.

 
The North Coast Product, Virgin Argan Oil, is shipped from Morocco, cold pressed and is certified organic.  If you have brittle nails, this Argan oil can be your solution.  If you have dry brittle hair, adding a few drops to damp hair can give it some moisture and give your hair that shiny look.  

The Virgin Argan Oil is not greasy nor oily and absorbs into the skin quickly. This Argan Oil has no added fragrance, no added color and has not added preservatives or chemicals.  The Virgin Argan Oil is perfect for everyone, even those with sensitive skin.  And one more thing...this Argan Oil is not just for women, but men can use it too.  Men, you can use it as a conditioner for your beard as well as a moisturizer for your dry hands and nails.

If you want to get your hands on your own Virgin Argan Oil, you can do that by visiting Amazon.

Fractionated Coconut Oil - 16 oz. bottle Review

If you're not familiar with coconut oil and the benefits it can do for your skin, then you will love to know that coconut oil usually doesn't come in a liquid form.  Coconut oil is usually in a solid form until it reaches a certain temperature or when it's fractionated.

Pure Body Naturals has a fractionated coconut oil that will leave your skin sooth and moisturized, especially when applied after a bath or shower.  Coconut oil has become a popular and important staple in a lot of households and well understood.

Fractionated coconut oil can be used for Aromatherapy, massages, essential oils and Therapeutic recipes.  Pure Body Naturals Fractionated Coconut Oil has no odor, is colorless, will not stain and non-greasy.  It penetrates into your skin, leaving your skin soft and moisturized. 

Some of the things you can expect with Fractionated Coconut Oil:

     *does not stain and washes out of clothing and sheets
     *Can be mixed with Essential oils and Carrier oils
     *An oil that never goes rancid
     *Does not clog pores 
     *Great moisturizer for hair & skin
     *Non-irritant lubricator

Another use for fractionated coconut oil is that if you are a person who makes soaps, candles or lotions, the fractionated coconut oil is an excellent oil that can be combined with other essential oils to create that perfect product.

 I personally love the fractionated coconut oil, especially because it comes in a large 16 oz bottle, has an unlimited shelf life and is the perfect moisturizer for my skin, especially during these winter months.  I love the fact that it has no smell an it doesn't interfere with fragrance sprays I may use afterwards.

You can grab your own Pure Body Naturals fractionated coconut oil and start reaping the benefits it can do for your skin, at Amazon.

Fractionated Coconut Oil Review

I don't know if you've heard about coconut oil and the benefits it has for the skin, but the first time I've heard about this, was from a co-worker a few days before receiving this product in the mail.

Coconut oil is an essential to have for your beauty regimen, as it has great therapeutic benefits for the skin as well as promotes hair growth.  The Fractionated Coconut oil by Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals comes in a 16 oz. carrier bottle and is 100% pure and natural.

It is a safer moisturizer and softener for the skin and can be mixed with other essential oils.  You may not know this about this Fractionated Coconut oil, but it has anti-bacterial AND anti-viral properties.  Fractionated coconut oil is a fraction of the coconut oil from which almost all the long chain triglycerides are removed, leaving mainly the medium chain triglycerides and making it an absolutely saturated oil.

This fractionated coconut oil is non-greasy, odorless and colorless, which does not stain clothing, yet washes out of clothing and bed sheets.

I was honored to be able to try and review this fractionated coconut oil, and I love that it leaves my skin smooth, without the added fragrances.  The coconut oil comes with a black cap, but also a cap for easy dispensing, so you get just the right amount you need.

If you want to experience the therapeutic benefits of this great Fractionated Coconut Oil, head on over and get yours at Amazon-Fractionated Coconut Oil to see what all the talk is about.
