Vitamin C Facial Toner from INSTANATURAL {Review}

InstaNatural as a brand has never disappointed me and hope they do not ever because I love their products. I recently started using their Vitamin C Facial Toner and it is just great to add to my morning beauty regime. This bottle contains natural and organic ingredients to help ensure that it does not irritate your skin with harsh chemicals.

This toner contains witch hazel and tea tree oil which helps in purifying my skin. Of course in its name it has vitamin C which renews and strengthen my skin from harsh weather conditions and pollution.

I spray this toner lightly in four (4) sections of my face right after I have washed it in the morning. I allow to dry with just a little bit of dampness left and then apply my hyaluronic serum and thereafter my favorite moisturizer.

Every step after spraying this toner becomes easier because I know that my skin has been hydrated and it definitely preps my skin for whatever comes next. This further helps with absorption of my serum, keeping my face moisturized throughout the day and prevents other pollutants from clogging my pores. Some people have said that toners dry their skin but this toner helps correct oily skin and combat my combination skin for use no matter what my skin decides to do that day. This toner lasts long and does not cost much and can be purchased via Amazon.

Dr. Song RoseHip Oil {Review}

Dr. Song Organic Rosehip Oil is one of the better rosehip oils that I have tried. Rosehip oil is great for many things, such as:

• Healing scars
• Reducing appearance of wrinkles
• Strengthen brittle nails
• Heal sun damaged skin
• Improve dry damaged hair
• Helps in healing rashes and burn scars.

The first time using rosehip oil, I was turned away by the strong unpleasant scent.  I have recently learned that the smell is from the extraction from the rose bush seeds and that there are no additives. Dr Song Medical has been able (my opinion) to still remain 100% organic and USDA certified but keep the scent not as strong, so this was a plus to me.

 

You are able to feel and see that the quality is amazing especially just by looking at the color of the oil. It is also light weight and when applied it is absorbed quickly without any greasy residue. I recently got a burn scar from melted cheese (go figure) and I have been applying the rosehip oil daily and within a few days I noticed the hairs on the scar growing back and the skin was healing quick. I may not like the scent but I do appreciate when something works to improve my skin without any added chemicals. You can order on Amazon and just so you know the bottle is rather large for the product and believe it will last very long.

Naturalico Firming Cellulite Cream {Review}

There are lots of cellulite reducing creams available but only a few I can say that can give you good results for your money. And Naturalico Firming Cellulite Cream is one of them. This cream will run you about $20.00 on Amazon.com for the 4 fl oz jar.

This cream has a off white color and has a light texture but not thick. This makes application easy and smooth. It does have a menthol scent but not as strong as others I have previously tried. Something that I do miss with this cellulite cream is that it does not have the sauna (icy hot) feel that I like. But this cream is still very effective in smoothing out your skin. You apply and rub into the targeted areas once or twice daily for it to be effective.

The ingredients contain a combination of retinol, caffeine and green tea which helps build collagen, renew skin and release stored fat under skin. Looking even deeper into the ingredients I noticed that it contained rosehip seed oil, peppermint oil, castor seed oil & orange oil, all of which I love for improving skin.

Cellulite Defense Gel by BODY MERRY {Review}

Cellulite Defense Gel Cream by Body Merry is not the first cellulite cream I have tried and this may just be my last. I enjoyed using it and will continue to use it. I am a pretty tiny girl or what you could call Thim Slick (Slim Thick - as used in urban context). I do have cellulite and no I do not like it nor do I like to see it. After having my second kid I realized that it is all over my thighs, butt and yes even my tummy.

This cellulite cream contains active ingredients combined with Retinol, Caffeine, & Seaweed, along with naturally potent ingredients such as Algae, Kelp, Coconut Oil, Cayenne & Green Tea Extract. It is from harsh chemicals such as parabens and sulphates.

This cellulite cream is thick and has a beige/cream color and comes in a 4 fl. oz jar. Depending on how often and how much you use will determine how long it last and most times a little does go a long way. I have targeted my use to only my thighs, butt and tummy. From before application you will notice it has a strong minty smell which I enjoy because I love the smell of mint and find it to be invigorating. As soon as it is applied you can feel the icy hot sensation working to get rid of the fat under the skin causing the cellulite. It also absorbs into the skin quick enough and does not remain greasy or leave any residue. Daily use would be required to see results.   

Body Merry believes in their product but also offers 90 day money back guarantee if you do not feel like this product is working for you. 90 days is more than enough time to see results.

My KONJAC Sponge - {Review}

I do not think I have ever started a blog post like this but I LOOOVVVEEEE THIS KONJAC SPONGE!! This is not an understatement. Let us get the facts about this sponge:

• 100% Natural Sponge
• 100% Coloring & Additive Free
• 100% Biodegradable
• Naturally Sustainable

I have used Konjac sponges in the past and they were good, nothing that I could complain about but this sponge was unique. On the packaging this is what it also claims:

• Gently Exfoliates
• Cleanses Pores
• Prevents Acnes & Pimples

OK now to my experience. This sponge is so easy to use. Soak for about 1 minute to soften the sponge (do not ever use hard) and gently massage in a circular motion then rinse after use. This sponge is made from the konjac plant root and natural bamboo charcoal and contains activated carbon and minerals. I use this sponge every night as a part of my night time face routine and it makes it so easy to exfoliate and cleanse skin. The feel after use is amazing. One of the things that I love also about it is that it does not shed like the others that I have used in the past. Anytime that my face is oily, it gently removes the oils and greats a smooth and healthy finish and look. With its natural antioxidants that fight acne, I am confident that it will continue in preventing acne. 

• Cruelty Free
• Vegan

Additional information that makes me love this sponge even more. You can get it on Amazon.
