Product Reviews: LilyAna Naturals

LilyAna Naturals





 [PR/Gifted]


๐Ÿ’™ THE RETINOL CREAM:

This best-selling jewel was thoughtfully created to target blemishes, fine lines, uneven skin tone & signs of aging with a gentle yet powerful formula featuring a maximum-strength Retinol + a botanical HA Complex! Designed for 2x daily use - out of abundance of caution I use only once per day. It’s totally suitable for sensitive skin and has given mine that much sought after hydration & smoothness! The very first ingredient is Aloe Vera so you know it’s super hydrating! Only a small pea-size amount is needed, which easily glides over entire face & neck. I’ve been using for a month without any irritation or dryness. Yay!!


๐Ÿงก THE VITAMIN C SERUM:

This potent little gem of brightening Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate & a special blend of botanicals is a must-have for every routine. This gently provides my skin with much needed protection from free-radicals and delivers a  supple & nourished feel. A little goes a long way with this serum so I just dispense a half dropper which covers my face & neck. This is fragrance-free, with a non-sticky finish that absorbs after about 1 minute… it’s water based without an oily residue. Also plays nicely with other products, SPF, makeup etc.

๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™Power Couple: The serum + cream work synergistically - use together for a youthful, summer ready glow!!



๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก❤️ LilyAna has a beautiful website featuring comprehensive info and a wonderful range of products. After perusing all their fantastic products you need more help, try taking their SKIN QUIZ!

Dr. Brandt Product Review: Serum

C-Scription Brightening Serum from Dr. Brandt Skincare: Full Product Review!


I’ve been on a mission to achieve smoother skin, reduce wrinkles & fine lines while also brightening my complexion...so when I received the C-Scription serum from Dr. Brandt I knew it was a match made in heaven - exactly what I was looking for!






What I really love about this Vitamin C serum is the uniquely creamy + moisturizing, non-sticky & non-irritating formula so different from all the other Vit C serums I’ve used. It was created to brighten, smooth & firm - just what I wanted!

And... it’s clinically studied, tested & proven to be effective, offering meaningful results...


๐ŸŒŸ25% active ingredients

๐ŸŒŸFast Absorbing 

๐ŸŒŸUltra-concentrated

๐ŸŒŸBrightens Skin Tone

๐ŸŒŸFades Dark Spots

๐ŸŒŸBoosts Collagen

๐ŸŒŸProtects against Free Radicals

๐ŸŒŸThe Gold Standard of Vitamin C


Clinical info: this serum was expertly formulated with 20% TSD Ascorbate for potentially less irritation to your skin. It’s proven to also be more potent than L-ascorbic acid because it penetrates deeper into the skin!


I use this highly effective serum in both my morning & evening routines and thrilled to report that my skin is looking much firmer & feels so smooth!


Thanks so much to Dr. Brandt for kindly sending me this amazing product to try! *Gifted

Dynamic Duos: Episode #2

DYNAMIC DUO Skincare Series - Episode #2 


Today I’m featuring another one of my fave power couples -

the SUPERDOSE Vitamin C Serum + Qi Energy Super Glow Serum 





๐ŸŠThe Superdose: it’s a daily, high-dose stable Vitamin C that’s been expertly combined with Ferulic Acid and Tranexamic Acid to create a powerhouse brightener that’s ideal for sensitive skin!


Vitamin C 15%
Tranexamic Acid 1%
Ferulic Acid 0.5%


๐ŸŠ This one is a bit sticky, water-like consistency that for me needs to be paired with a hydrating serum or moisturizer 

๐ŸŠ The scent is typical VitC serum, but dissipates very quickly

๐ŸŠ Has delivered a very gentle experience and brighter, tighter & better looking skin 


⚡️This potent antioxidant powerhouse needs a partner in pigmentation-fighting so I team it with the Qi Energy Serum. This duo work together to remove that stickiness left behind from the Vit C serum + provide an enhanced glow!


⚡️Qi Energy Super Glow is an Energy Boost for your skin

⚡️Made with Ginseng Root + Ginger to provide instant plumping

⚡️The ideal teammate - created to enhance or upgrade everything paired with it!





WOW! What a Dynamic Duo!!


Do you feel like Vitamin C serums need a hydrating teammate??

HUM Nutrition Supplements

Today I’m focusing on wellness so I want to talk about supplements...





I’ve been taking HUM supplements for three months now, but only just signed up for their membership which comes with substantial savings, free samples & the ability to connect with a nutritionist. HUM offers supplements for everything from skin & hair to joints & bones, basic daily vitamins to gut health. Yay!


I’m really looking forward to trying the Mighty Night supplement! It’s an overnight cell renewal for both skin & body - sounds amazing, right!


Claims:

Helps skin cell turnover

Improves texture & tone

Promotes optimal sleep


Key Ingredients:

Ceramides

CoQ10

Ferulic Acid & Valerien Root


These say to expect results in 4 to 6 weeks...so I’ll let you know.





I’ve also started with the HUM Collagen POP supplements which are made from premium marine collagen and vitamin C to replenish and hydrate your skin - which is something I really need especially now during the cold winter months! Just pop on tablet into 8oz of water which will upgrade a boring water into a fizzy, strawberry & lemon tonic. To me it’s reminiscent of a strawberry Jell-O shot without the vodka of course! Ha ha.


Be sure to Check out HUM Here!
