Adovia Dead Sea Salt Scrub

      This is a sea salt body scrub made with real Dead Sea Salt.  100% pure and genuine.  It exfoliates and moisturizes your skin.  The fine grain Dead Sea salts exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells to reveal a new younger looking layer of skin.  The moisturizing oils infuse skin with hydration that lasts all day.  

      I have to say this is the first Adovia product that I do not love.  That is not to say I don't like it at all, I do like the scrub, just not love.

     First of all it has too much oil and not enough salt.  In order to not spill oil out when you open the container up you need to shake it up real good so the product is mixed well.  When I scoop out the product I like the feel of the Dead Sea Salts but, there is too much oil mixed in so that you can not a deep enough exfoliation.  

     You will not need to use body lotion when you use this scrub because this product leaves a lot of oil left behind on you skin.  I 

highly suggest you use this scrub before you use soap up so you can get some of the extra oil off your skin.  Also, your tub will be an oil slick afterwards.

Face Gems by Feather & Bone

     I have recently had the opportunity to try out a really neat and new product.  This product is called a Face Gem.  It is a face wash, exfoliate and moisture all in one.  In my personal opinion this is perfect for those who travel a lot or for those who like to keep it simple and not use a lot of face care products.

     Each Gem comes in it's own pack.  Just pop it out and place it in the palm of your hand.  Then add a couple drops of water and use your fingers to break the tablet up and form a paste.  Then just massage on full face and then wash your face.

     This is something totally unique and different for me.  I will say that my skin felt pretty nice after washing with the Gem.  I am used to a big foamy lather and this tablet gives you just enough to wash your face so that was some getting used to.  That was the only negative I could find with this product.  I just wanted more product in a bigger tablet.  

What are the benefits of using a Face Gem?

Sandalwood to cleanse:

• An antiseptic agent
• Gives a Natural glow
• Removes dirt from pores
• Anti-aging
• Relaxes the face

Fuller's Earth to exfoliate:

• Improves blood circulation
• Removes black heads and white heads
• Tones the skin
• Soothing effect
• Gives natural oils to the skin

Starch to moisturize:

• Natural moisturizer for oily and dry skin
• Relieves itchy skin
• Keeps skin fresh
• Removes dead skin
• Cools the Face

          If you are interested in trying out Face Gems for yourself head on over to featherandboneco.com/.  You can purchase a pack of 60 tablets as a one time purchase for $15 or you can subscribe and pay only $12.

LeliaSea Dead Sea Mineral Hand Cream Review + Giveaway

     If the product says it comes from the Dead Sea, I wanna try it! This hand cream is non -greasy and absorbs easily into my hands.  Even though it says it is unscented there is a very, very light pleasant smell to the lotion. It leaves my skin soft and smooth without any greasy residue. It does not have a lot of staying power and if you wash your hands a lot you will need to reapply often but, that is a given with most lotions so it is not a deal breaker for me.

     Based on the Dead Sea's black mud and salts, this hand cream combines the minerals taken from the depths of the Dead Sea with herbal extracts, essential oils, and multi-vitamin complexes. Dead Sea minerals and vitamin E are proven to reduce skin damage caused by the summer sun, winter dryness, pollution and cigarette smoke.

Enter my giveaway and if you are the winner I will send you a code to purchase this product for free on Amazon!

Beautonics Derma Roller Review

Beautonics Derma Roller

     Since I wasn't sure what a derma roller does or what it is used for I looked it up and here is the answer I found on dermaheal.com.

     The derma or skin roller is an instrument consisting of a heavy duty plastic roller head covered in high quality titanium needles. The needles are designed to penetrate the stratum corneum, conium the hard outer surface of the epidermal layer of the skin, body or scalp. Hundreds of tiny channels are created through the stratum corneum, which facilitate the passage and absorption of your skin care product, or minoxidil for hair restoration into the dermis, to maximize its absorption. It gently exfoliates excess skin cells which contribute to hair follicle malnutrition, scaring or premature aging, and ultimately hair follicle failure, wrinkles, stretch marks, cellulite and scars. The roller stimulates blood flow to the surface, gives a skin massage, cleans out the pores and stimulates collagen re-growth.

The Beautonics Derma Roller uses 1.0 advanced high grade titanium micro needles.  It is a 192 count for precision and accuracy.  Beautonics claims that the 1.0 is safer than 1.5 and .5.  

     I am really afraid to use this on my face.  I would ask your dermatologist before doing this at home or consult someone in the know before jumping right in.  I tested the roller out across my stomach and it left my skin red for hours.  

*At time of this review the product is currently not available for purchase on amazon.  It states that the company is fixing a current problem.*

100% Pure Organic Rosehip Seed Oil Review

100% Pure Organic Rosehip Seed Oil

By Valentia

     Over the past couple months I have tests a lot of oils.  After a while you think of what would be the best use for this oil and what makes it different.  For this bottle of rosehip seed oil the first thing that stands out was that it is 100% pure organic oil.  Before tesing this product I had only tested one other rosehip oil, so I was aware of the scent.  I do not like the scent,  just a personal preference, so I  like to use the oil somewhere away from my nose.  I have been using this bottle as a cuticle oil and it works great.  At night I rub it into my winter dry cuticles and it absorbs nicely into my skin.  

     There are many uses for this wonderful oil and here are a few from Valentia:

• REDUCES FINE LINES & WRINKLES - powerful Vitamin C and Lycopene antioxidants promote healthy cell development, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and protecting the skin from free radicals which lead to premature aging.

• REDUCES SCARS & BURNS - the presence of high levels of essential fatty acids, which cannot be naturally reproduced by our bodies, work to heal and speed up cell regeneration to reduce the appearance of scars and burns. Naturally occurring vitamin A in Rosehip Oil helps heal and improve scar tissue left behind by acne, dermatitis and psoriasis scarring.

• REHYDRATES SKIN - essential fatty acids work to lock in moisture, hydrate the skin and keep it soft and supple. Get ready to improve your complexion and face the elements.

• EVENS SKIN TONE - repair skin discoloration and damage caused by environmental stresses such as UV damage from overexposure to the sun. Hyper-pigmentation and age spots are dramatically reduced with continued use.

• STRENGTHENS NAILS & HAIR - replenish dry, brittle and damaged hair with density, instant shine and smoothness. Nourish your nails and cuticles to prevent hangnails and breakage.

Fractionated Coconut Oil - Large 16 oz bottle

Fractionated Coconut Oil 

     What is fractionated coconut oil and how is it different from the coconut oil I use in my kitchen?  Here is the answer I found on https://www.organicfacts.net :

As the name implies, Fractionated coconut oil is a fraction of the coconut oil from which almost all the long chain triglycerides are removed, thus leaving mainly the medium-chain triglycerides and making it an absolutely saturated oil. This saturation gives it a very, very long shelf life and greatly increased stability.

     Fractionated Coconut Oil is an all-natural carrier oil that easily absorbs into the skin, making it a great oil for topical therapies.  I have been mixing this coconut oil with different essential oils that I have to make wonderful therapeutic and scented skin oils.  

     Its feather-light emollient effect provides a soothing barrier without clogging pores and is excellent for dry or irritated skin.  The oil can help sooth inflammation due to its disinfectant and antioxidant properties.  

     It leaves your skin feeling silky smooth, not greasy like other vegetable carrier oils.  Fractionated coconut oil is also a balance of saturated fats that help stimulate hair growth and act as a natural moisturizer.  

      It is completely soluble with all essential oils and is colorless, odorless and will not stain or go rancid.  If you use this oil to make massage oil it will not stain your sheets and easily washes out of clothing.

2 Luxe Beauty Microfiber Hair Towel Review

 Microfiber Hair Towel

      At first glance I did not think this towel would hold and cover all my hair but, it was absolutely perfect.  I recently had long hair extensions put in and this hair towel held up all my hair and helped cut my drying time almost in half.  This is now my favorite towel for my hair because it is so soft and absorbent.

     This hair towel is 19 x 39 inches and made from double sided brushed terry microfiber.  It is extremely soft, gentle on hair and super absorbent.  This towel will help you cut the drying time of your hair whether is it long or short.
