THE NECK CREAM

❤️ Next-generation renewal technology:

Highlight ingredients:

✔️ Shea Butter

✔️ Oat Kernel Extract

✔️ Centella Asiatica Extract

✔️ Oligopeptides

MY EXPERIENCE 

This Glycerin based cream feels silky and luxurious but not at all heavy. It’s actually nicely delicate! Glides on beautifully without any greasy, oily or sticky feel…absorbs perfectly after a few minutes. I feel that after I massage it in and it absorbs that it plumps up the lines on my neck. I’ve been using twice daily for over one month and definitely notice a softening of lines and some improvement to the dreaded crepy skin! I’ve not noticed any “sculpting” action but that’s ok, I didn’t really have expectations for that. I do see improvements to the deeper lines on my décolletage ☺️ and will be looking forward to some long-term benefits!

$49.99/50ml

Herbal Dynamics Beauty!!

⭐️This is the Revitage Antioxidant Transforming Night Cream from Herbal Dynamics Beauty⭐️

“Powered by Natural Botanicals. Inspired by You.” Not just a tag line but a philosophy and guiding principle of @herbaldynamicsbeauty 

Nature + Science work in synergy in this small but mighty bottle of a genius formula which includes all the nourishing, protecting, calming & soothing natural good stuff like:

✨ Squalane 

✨ Vitamin A, B3 & E

✨ Green Tea

✨ Watermelon, lentil, Maypops & Elderberry

AND… Apples! 🍏🍏🍏

✨ Chamomile, Burdock & Cucumber

✨ Sweet Orange Essential Oil

✨ US $28 for 1oz.

I’ve been able to use this little powerhouse for quite awhile now and happy to report that I adore it! The lightweight texture, impressive ingredients & gentle scent combine to give my skin that extra boost of brightness it so needs.

To me it seems a lot like a thick serum that once applied smooths effortlessly into a sorta satiny-finish that I think anyone who prefers a not heavy, non-creamy type night mask would really love! So ideal for these warm summer months when perhaps a heavier night cream seems like just too much. 😉 Its housed in a tiny bottle, but truly a very small amount is required and I always wake up to perfectly hydrated skin! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 Stars!!)

I contribute my noticeably more glowing skin, in part, to this genius concoction. Yay!

Thanks so much Herbal Dynamics Beauty for sending this over to me!!

The Ouai Scalp and Body Scrub will change your life!

But first things first - I need help with the proper pronunciation of the brand’s name: Is it “oui” or is it “way” or maybe neither? Who can help? Update: I decided to be smart and visit their website which cleared things up right away,,, It’s pronounced like “way” as in “It’s a Ouai of Life” 

Now, to add to the chorus of praise for this  glorious jar of sugary goodness...

🤩 Smells divine - it’s called “Melrose Place” a dramatic rose scent, but I think it’s the white musk that I notice the most.

🤩 It’s a truly superb scalp scrub unlike any I’ve ever used. A few years ago I started trying out some scalps scrubs yet they just didn’t work out at all! But this one features a unique foaming scrub that lathers nicely and somehow easily spreads throughout my hair.

🤩 The probiotics in this formula really helps to balance my scalps natural biome! My often irritated scalp is left deep clean, perfectly exfoliated & refreshed!

🤩 A little goes a very long way since it magically lathers so effortlessly - I was pleasantly surprised by this because at first scoop it seems too thick & crunchy for hair/scalp. But alas, it is absolutely perfectly formulated for the scalp!!

I intended on using this just as a scalp scrub but then decided to try as a body scrub, I mean hey why not...and it’s phenomenal! A very spa-like scrub that makes my skin so unbelievably soft!!

Who loves this as much as I do??

Product Highlight: The Water Sleeping Mask

The famous Sleeping Mask from Laneige:

• I loved the cooling sensation upon application 
• It does have a hydrating effect but maybe not quite enough for my very dry/dehydrated skin
• You will wake up with very smooth skin
• Delivers plumped and glowing skin

The Water Sleeping Mask - Already a Legend!

This overnight sleeping mask from @laneige says it’s a “moisture-recharging gel mask that quickly absorbs to deeply hydrate your skin.” 💙

Stated as ideal for all skin types, in my experience it does not deliver quite enough hydration for my overly dry + dehydrated skin that’s especially sensitive to the dry winter weather & the heater running all night long.

Formulated with Ingredients like Hydro-Ionized Mineral Water (sounds cool) and apricot & evening primrose extracts. this beauty claims to deliver moisture, a relaxing & calming scent, visibly brightened skin that’s ultimately more radiant + refreshed + soft glowing skin!

Ok, let’s break this down - it definitely has a very relaxing, light scent that I adore. And, I feel it really delivers soft & glowing skin. However, for me it just not hydrating enough because I still awake with slightly tight skin...but that’s just me and my skin is very dehydrated. I do really enjoy this sleeping mask and I think I’ll get better results during the summer months which aren’t as dry? 

Stay Calm: Skin Calming Trio

Calm Down!! Calming Skincare Trio for stressed out skin...

Sometimes I wake up with angry skin that feels tight & looks red!  I think this is happening because the heater runs all night long...ugh!?! So, I grab my little trio of skin calming saviors to help sooth my skin:

The Niacinamide Skin Mist is my first step towards relief.  Niacinamide + Hyaluronic acid = hydrated skin.

The Centella Green Level Serum is my next step because it helps to reduce redness & inflammation.

10Balm is my final step to provide an intensive soothing effect while repairing my dry skin.

And now my skin is not so mad at me & we are friends again, for now...
