The Toner to rule all Toners!

💛💛 HERBAL DYNAMICS BEAUTY 💛💛

The COLLAGENR8 Restorative CoQ10 Facial Toner is a golden goddess of gleaming goodness 😃

It’s loaded up with so many impressive ingredients including:

🤩 Skin Smoothing Coenzyme Q10

🤩 Exfoliating Papaya Extract

🤩 Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid & Aloe Vera

🤩 Soothing Cucumber Extract

🤩 Calming Chamomile Extract

🤩 Sage & Orange Flower Extracts

🤩 No synthetic or added Fragrance here - the scent, derived from natural ingredients is a light floral, I’d say from the Orange Flower Extract.

$24.00/4oz

This nourishing, collagen-supporting toner features the antioxidant powerhouse CoQ10, to help restore elasticity to the skin 🙌🙌 And guess what…my skin is so much firmer after using this! It also helps my skin feel & look incredibly soft, plumped & hydrated for a more youthful appearance - and that’s exactly what I want… my outward appearance matching how I feel on the inside…YOUTHFUL! 

The best way to use this toner is by saturating a cotton pad and gliding on face in outward & upward strokes, avoiding the eye area. I use this beauty in both my am & pm routines.

Do you love Chocolate? Then here’s the mask for you!

Today I’ve got my full review of the CACAO & CHAMOMILE CLEARING CLAY MASK from my beloved Herbal Dynamics Beauty 🤎🤎🤎 {PR/Gifted}

First, the luscious, pudding-like texture makes me so happy! It’s absolutely delightful to use with a chocolate/lavender scent that’s so totally delicious 😋 The color is just like milk chocolate and it feels so lovely when applied, kinda has a nice cooling effect.

👉 Key Ingredients include sea kelp, ginseng, organic cacao powder, sulfur and Bentonite & Montmorillonite Clays. These combine to deeply detox skin, brighten & even out skin tone, soothe & calm inflammation!

AND, I put this one to the test: 

I first conducted a Patch-test on back of hand (Why? Because my hands are usually pretty dry and I thought this would be a good way to determine how drying this would be??? Result - my hand did not feel dried out or experience any irritation and was actually softer than my other hand 🙌🙌)

Next, I tried the following masking styles:

1️⃣ All-over mask in a thin layer

2️⃣ All-over mask in a thick layer

3️⃣ Spot treatment mask

4️⃣ Prepped skin before mask (I like to use a hydrating toner)

My favorite way to use this mask has to be…

#2️⃣ The Thick Layer as an All-over Mask because it doesn’t dry down tight, I can massage it in a bit and leave on the full recommended time (15 minutes). I like to do this mask prior to jumping in the shower where it’s so easily rinsed off! After using, my skin feels incredibly soft, my pores appear much less congested, and my skin looks radiant!

High Performance Sheet Mask!

Introducing the STEM-EFFECT Photo-aging Defense & Antioxidant Mask from Jeunel Skincare…

This high performance sheet mask was developed to combat the signs of aging using advanced grape stem-cells sourced from Switzerland!

Ingredient Highlights:

Grape Stem-Cell for its healing effects & can protect skin cells from UV rays!

Chrysanthemum Indicum Flower Extract for its ability to strengthen skin

Antioxidants to combat dark spots

Peptides & Hyaluronic Acid

My Experience:

This is a thin, lightweight silk sheet mask that comes backed with a liner which I believe helps determine which side is applied to face however I needed to remove it prior to applying because the pre-cut eye holes are too small for my eyes & require stretching. I like the amount of serum, not dripping off but some left in the package which I like to apply to neck & décolletage.

The directions suggest using for 7 nights to achieve an advanced treatment but this box only has 5 masks…soooo? Anyway, I decided to  use just 1x per week for 1 month and did find this to suffice as the formula is highly effect, delivers immediate results - glowing, more radiant skin that definitely looks plumped & feels hydrated.

I can imagine the long term benefits will be great!

🏷 $49.99 for 1 box of 5 masks

Jeunel has provided an exclusive code if you’d like 10% OFF! Use code: PRIMCOMPENDIUM

Thanks so much to Jeunel Skincare for so kindly sending me these masks!

Would you use a sheet mask every night?

xoxo -Kate

PLEASE NOTE: These facial sheet mask were kindly gifted to me by Jeunel Skincare.
