enLIGHTen by Trinity



If you follow my blog then you know I suffer from Melasma which is a REALLY annoying skin condition that causes brown to gray-brown patches on the face.  Most people will get it on their cheeks, bridge of their nose, forehead, chin, and above their upper lip but it also can appear on other parts of the body that get lots of sun, such as the forearms and neck.  I tend to get in patches scattered across my face, neck and chest.  Needless to say I am always on the hunt for anything to help lighten those unsightly patches!
My newest find is this cream by Trinity called enLIGHTen!  I'm pretty excited about this product.  I tested out a spot on my chest and within 3 weeks there was a very noticeable difference and now it's barely noticeable at all.  The best part is, enLIGHTen uses only natural ingredients like Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Kakadu Plum, Salicin and Lycopene to lighten the skin!  Most skin lightener creams use hydroquinone which is a harsh chemical and one that I have been trying to avoid.
I would give enLIGHTen a 5 star rating since it only uses natural ingredients and because it works!  enLIGHTen can be used to lighten dark spots, uneven skin tone and Melasma.  It can also helps to lighten freckles, birthmarks, dark inner elbows, knees, age spots, sun spots, liver spots, acne scars, old scars, choasma, hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Organic Jojoba Oil by Renewalize



This Organic Jojoba Oil by Renewalize is amazing!  I have been using it everywhere, from head to toe.  Plus, I've discovered I love Jojoba Oil just as much as I love Argan Oil!  What I love most about Jojoba Oil is that it works great on my oily and blemish prone skin.  It also leaves my hair shiny, soft and silky while it helps heal my split ends.  I think oils have become another skincare addiction for me and Jojoba Oil has become a "Must Have" skincare product!
Jojoba Oil does a great job mimicking sebum which is the oily substance secreted by the sebaceous glands in our skin.  The main purpose of sebum is to make the skin and hair waterproof and to protect them from drying out.  However, an excess of sebum, can make the skin or hair oily.  Since Jojoba mimics sebum so well it can actually help control how much excess sebum the skin produces thereby balancing out the skin and making it less oily!
This Organic Jojoba Oil by Renewalize is unrefined, cold pressed and 100% Pure USDA Certified Organic.  It can be used as an all natural moisturizer for hair, skin and nails.  It's rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids and it's fast absorbing, non greasy, odorless natural oil that makes your skin feel well hydrated, soft and smooth.  It can also help diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles!

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...

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).
