Vitamin C Serum by Oz Naturals



Oz Naturals is a brand that I have really come to love.  I have tried quite a few of the their products now and have been impressed with all of them.  So, naturally, I was really looking forward to trying out their Vitamin C Serum.  I have yet to find a Vitamin C Serum that I don't like and I love Oz Naturals so I already knew I was in for something special!
The Oz Naturals Vitamin C Serum is unique since it not only contains 20% of the highest quality Vitamin C but then it also has Hyaluronic Acid and an Amino Blend to create a potent antioxidant serum that not only helps diminish wrinkles and even skin tone & smooth texture but it also protects skin from environmental stressors.  The serum itself is really lightweight so it immediately soaks into your skin and goes to work below the skin's surface to help the skin produce more collagen.  It goes on smoothly and helps protect and brighten your skin throughout the day, leaving it feeling hydrated & moisturized.  The Oz Naturals Vitamin C Serum also helps nourish cells allowing skin to heal naturally and help lift and firm the skin.


Oz Naturals Vitamin C Serum is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, mineral oil-free, lanolin-free, gluten-free, and GMO-free.  All ingredients are natural and organic materials.  If you are looking for a Vitamin C Serum this one is a great option!  Check out oznaturals.com for more information on this and other Oz Naturals products.  You can also purchase on Amazon.com...

I am working on getting back to my "Must Have Monday" series and I found the perfect skincare product to start it off!  I love all things Ole Henriksen and so when I heard about their new cleanser I knew it was an excellent candidate.
Say hello to the Pure Truth™ Melting Cleanser by Ole Henriksen!  What is it exactly?  According to their website it's a hydrating 3 in 1 cleanser that converts from a gel to a luxurious oil to a hydrating milk as you cleanse to effortlessly melt impurities and long-wear makeup.  It's rich in Vitamin C, Rose Hip, and Virgin Cherry Oils which brightens, repairs, and nourishes the skin.  The cleanser rinses clean and leaves the skin feeling refreshed, healthy, and luminous.
To use simply scoop out with dry hands and massage into dry skin. While massaging, gelĂ©e melts into oil that dissolving makeup and impurities.  Just add warm water to emulsify oil to a hydrating milk.  Rinse the follow with your preferred toner, serum and moisturizer.
I think it sounds pretty amazing and I am dying to try it out for myself!  It retails for $34.00 but you can get also get 4% Cash Back when you purchase using Ebates!!

Branch Chain Amino Acids by Natura Formulas Review + Giveaway



Branch Chain Amino Acids have become an important part of my diet & exercise routine.  Since I started taking BCAA by Natura Formulas I have noticed a significant change in the way I feel, not only while I am working out but especially after.  Before I started taking BCAA I would always experience substantial fatigue after I finished working out.  Now, I just take 2 capsules of BCAA by Natura Formulas about 30 minutes before I work out and not only do I have a better overall workout performance but I experience far less fatigue & muscle soreness afterwards.  Less fatigue and muscle soreness translates into longer and more intense workouts!  BCAA also helps build lean muscles which can help burn more fat and it can also improve strength development with training.
No workout is complete without BCAA!

Are you wanting to take your workouts to the next level?  Natura Formulas is sponsoring a Giveaway and will give one lucky winner a FREE bottle of their Branch Chain Amino Acids!  Giveaway starts 05/28/15 @ 12:00 p.m. PST and ends 06/04/15 @ 12:00 p.m. PST.  Giveaway is open to U.S. and Canadian residents only.  Good Luck!!

Exposed Skincare - Review




Anti-Acne products and skincare has come a long way since my teenage years (I'm 41) and Exposed is a great example of that evolution!  
What is Exposed Skincare?  Exposed Skincare is an acne treatment therapy developed by a collaborative effort of dermatologists, cosmetologists, naturopaths, and chemists.  Exposed treats and prevents acne in ways that were previously thought impossible.  Most products only offer limited methods of treating acne.  However, Exposed is designed to unclog blocked pores, kill acne causing bacteria and help your skin normalize the levels of sebum production, aid in the healing of skin lesions and reduce redness.  
How much does it cost?  The basic 5 piece kit includes a Facial Cleanser, Clearing Tonic, Acne Treatment Serum, Clear Pore Serum and the Derm-X Cloth for a retail price of $49.95.

The Results Are In:
Even though I am 41 I still have very oily skin (like a teenager kind of oily) and I also still deal with occasional breakouts  I haven't had to deal with any acne issues lately but I had to see for myself if Exposed could get a handle on my over active oil glands so I used the 5-Piece kit for a couple of weeks.  Overall, I was really impressed!  Even after the first use my skin seemed more balanced and not near as oily as it usually is.  I was also impressed that it didn't feel overly dry and wasn't stripped of all it's necessary moisture.  I even noticed some of my old acne spots were starting to fade!  Yay!
However, the real test was on daughters skin.  My daughter is 18 years old and has slightly oily and acne-prone skin.  She used the Exposed 5-Piece kit for about 3 weeks and had a significant improvement in her skin.  Not only did her acne clear up but most of her old acne spots disappeared and had a more smooth texture to her skin.  That's was only after a few weeks!  Overall those are impressive results!  We can't wait to see what her skin looks like after a few more weeks!

Below is her untouched before and after pictures...



The Exposed 5-Piece kit does a great job at unclogging pores and eliminating acne causing bacteria, and spots while leaving skin hydrated, soft and smooth.  I would highly recommend Exposed for anyone with oily, blemish-prone or acne-prone skin!
Plus, Exposed comes with a one year guarantee!  Use every drop of the system and if you do not achieve a reduction of your acne and smoother skin, you may return your first kit within 1 year of purchase for a full refund (minus shipping costs).

Phytoceramides by TrueSol Nutrition



As soon as I heard about Phytoceramides and what they can do for your skin, hair and nails I totally jumped on that band wagon!  You know, being a beauty and skincare addict I kinda had to...right?
Phytoceramides have been shown to increase the preservation of collagen in our skin as well as prevent elastase.  Leading dermatologists tell us these two compounds are responsible for fighting off the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, preserving the firmness and smoothness of your skin, restoring lost moisture, and lending to a younger and renewed complexion.  Phytoceramides by TrueSol Nutrition contains Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Vitamin E and powerful nutrients needed to support the production of strong, healthy skin at the cellular level, renewing and replenishing you skin!
For me taking PhytoRenew is part of my everyday skincare routine and it helps keep my skin soft and well hydrated and it's also how I intend to grow old gracefully!

Probiotics are something that I take on a regular basis and this one by TrueSol Nutrition is my Probiotic of choice lately.  The Probiotic 1150 by TrueSol Nutrition contains pure and natural Probiotic that help balance intestinal flora, break down allergy causing proteins and improve digestive health.  Since 80% of your immune system is in your gut taking a Probiotic is almost essential to staying healthy and taking it in pill form not only ensures that you consume the right Probiotic strains but it also ensures you get the right recommended dosage.  Probiotics have also been shown to help maintain weight so I am all about taking it for that reason alone!
