Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 30 by Elba Naturals



If it's one thing I wear as part of my everyday skincare routine it's sunscreen.  Sunscreen is very important to me since I have Melasma and sun is what exasperates it.  However, I also have very oily skin so I have to be careful what I put on my face.  This Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 30 by Elba Naturals is perfect for me since it's lightweight so it instantly absorbs into my skin and gives me the perfect amount of hydration with out any oily or greasy residue.  I also love that it's non-comedogenic which is another requirement of mine.
I have tested out several Elba Naturals products now and have quickly become a huge fan!  Every product has been excellent quality and I have had great results with each of them.  Plus, they only use all natural and Organic ingredients and they are cruelty free!  Love!

Hyko Brightening Serum by Bauana Naturals



Hyaluronic Acid is one of my favorite ingredients for the simple fact that it retains moisture and creates a cushion to help plump the appearance of aging skin and is a potent ingredient.  This all natural and Organic HYKO Brightening Serum by Bauana Naturals also contains another popular skincare ingredient, Kojic Acid.  Kojic Acid is made from mushrooms native to Japan and is a by-product of the fermentation process used to produce the alcoholic beverage sake.  As a skincare product it makes an amazing skin lightener!
This HYKO serum is lightweight, absorbs without leaving any residue and leaves skin feeling more plump, hydrated, soft and smooth.  Plus, fine lines and wrinkles are diminished and within a couple weeks dark spots are less noticeable!  It also helps boost collagen production to give skin a more youthful appearance.
For best results I use as part of my morning and evening skincare routine.  I apply to slightly damp skin and before moisturizer.  I would recommend you also wear at least a 30+ SPF to help keep those pigmentation spots at bay and keep skin looking young.

Green Coffee Bean Extract Cleanse Detox by Justified Laboratories



Here's the latest cleanse I have been testing out!  You know how I love a good cleanse!  
I wasn't sure if you were aware but I am actually allergic to Coffee (I know, the horror!).  It's really the strangest thing it makes my eyes swell and the skin around my eyes itches and then starts to peel, I am quite the sight to see when I have a reaction!  However, it just seems to be a reaction to the roasted coffee bean.  I can have Green Coffee Bean Extract with no issues at all, thank goodness!
That being said, I was raring to go and start this Green Coffee Bean Extract Cleanse Detox by Justified Laboratories.  It's supposed to help promote weight loss and also help curb your appetite.  I am happy to report that it did both.  Keeping in mind that any cleanse resulting in weight loss is not the same as fat weight loss, it's basically just waste weight loss, but I will take it!  I only lost a couple of pounds but that's what I love about a good cleanse.  I feel more renewed and even a little invigorated.  This Green Coffee Bean Extract Cleanse Detox is a quick and easy cleanse and I also found it to be a gentle.
There are studies that have been done that show Green Coffee Bean Extract can help lower blood pressure and reduced sugar absorption which are two other really great benefits.
The Green Coffee Bean Extract Cleanse Detox by Justified Laboratories is made with a proprietary blend of Green Coffee Bean Extract and is all natural with no added stimulants.  It also contains other potent ingredients that help support effective cleansing and detoxification like Fennel Seed, Cascara Sagrada, Ginger Goldenseal, Pumpkin Seed, Buckthorne Root, Licorice Root, Rhubarb, Citrus Pectin, Acidophilus, Cape Aloe, Bentonite Clay, Aloe Vera, Cayenne Pepper, Senna, Oat Bran, Prune Juice and Flax Seed Oil.
What are you waiting for?  Fall is the perfect time for a cleanse!


Head over to Amazon.com to pick your own bottle of this Green Coffee Bean Extract Cleanse Detox by Justified Laboratories!
