Moroccan Ghassoul Clay Mask by Zakia's Morocco



Most of you know about my obsession with Masks of all kinds but I especially love a good mud mask!  There is just some sort of satisfaction that comes from the feeling as the mask dries, like you can feel it drawing all the impurities out of your pores!
This Moroccan Ghassoul Clay Mask by Zakia's Morocco is a perfect example of an awesome mud mask.  What makes this mud mask unique is not that it's a powder, which allows you to create your own individual masks but that it can also be used as soap, skin conditioner, shampoo, and as a body mask.  Talk about a product that multi-tasks!
This ancient natural and organic clay is found deep under the Atlas Mountains is mined for its unique composition and properties, it's very high in trace minerals such as silica, magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium and sodium and has been used for centuries by the Moroccan women.  This mineral rich clay is known for its extraordinary power of absorption of impurities from skin and hair.  Since the mineral content is so high it has unprecedented astringent properties, and absorption properties and is a highly effective clay for cleansing and detoxification.

Clinical studies have shown the following results using the Moroccan Ghassoul Clay Mask:
Reduces dryness (79%)
Reduces flakiness (41%)
Improves skin clarity (68%)
Improves skin elasticity / firmness (24%)
Improves skin texture (106%)
Removes surface oil and oil from inside and around comedons and removes dead skin layers, resulting in a general smoothing of the surface skin.

I use the Moroccan Ghassoul Clay Mask by Zakia's Morocco once a week and it leaves my skin feel rejuvenated, clean, toned and detoxed!  It has also helped made my skin look and feel more smooth.  I even tested it out on my hair by mixing a little in my normal shampoo and it really helped remove all the residual residue from all the hair products that I use so now it will be something I do at least once a month!

Trilane Retinol+Vitamin C


Two of my favorite skincare ingredients are Retinol and Vitamin C.  This moisturizer by Trilane provides the best of both worlds!  You get skin-renewing antioxidants and age-fighting ingredients that help your skin look and feels years younger!
The Trilane Retinol+Vitamin C moisturizer also contains Squalane which is a oilless oil and is supposed to be lightweight, clear, odorless and non-comedogenic and provides intense hydration and makes skin feel soft and smooth.
I am 41 and I have obvious age concerns, however, I also still have very oily skin so I have to be very conscious of what I put on my face.  I think the Squalane was a bit too intense for my face.  While it did in fact leave my skin feeling super soft I think the intensity of the hydration was a bit too much for my already oily skin so it took a really long time for the product to absorb.  However, I continued to use it as under my eyes, on my neck and decollete and loved the results!  Since it contains Retinol, which can make skin sun-sensitive I decided to only use it as part of my nightly skincare routine.  I like to apply the Trilane Retinol+Vitamin C right after I cleanse my skin, while it's still damp and massage it in, it only takes a drop or two and it automatically feels moisturize and super soft!  After just 1 week I noticed a difference in my skin texture, tone and my fine lines were even diminished.
With Trilane Retinol+Vitamin C you will notice a vast improvement in your skin.  It will look and feel more soft and smooth, your skin tone will be more even, fines lines and wrinkles will be reduced, hyperpigmentation will fade and your skin will look luminous!
Go to healthydirections.com or Amazon.com to purchase or for more detailed information.  Save 20% off your first purchase of Trilane Retinol + Vitamin C sold by Healthy Directions on Amazon.com. Promotion code expires 12/31/15.

Tosca Clarifying Shampoo ~ Giveaway



I am pretty picky about what I use on my hair, especially since one of my best friends owns a hair salon.  Since my best friend does own a hair salon that means I have access to a lot of different brands of hair care products and I have tried most of them.  While their are a lot of really good hair care products out there I definitely have my favorites.  My favorites include brands that are Organic, Sodium Chloride free, Sulfate free and Paraben free.  I have found that those are the brands that my hair responds best to.
So, I was really excited to try out the Tosca brand since it is totally new to me!  Tosca is all the things I look for in a brand.  It is made with 100% Certified Organic Botanical Extracts, 100% Sodium Chloride free, 100% Sulfate free and Paraben free.  It's also good for the environment since it's water soluble and biodegradable.  I tried the Tosca Clarifying Shampoo and it left my hair feeling soft and clean but not stripped and my hair also seemed to have a little more shine it it.  I compared this to a similar but much more expensive brand of shampoo that I use and I was really impressed that it did just as good of a job at cleaning my hair and leaving it hydrated and soft for less than half of what the other brand cost.  I also love that the Tosca brand is also Cruelty Free!
Tosca has an entire line of hair care products so I am looking forward to trying out some of their conditioner as well!  Plus, Tosca was nice enough to sponsor a Giveaway for me so TWO lucky readers can win a FREE bottle of Tosca Clarifying Shampoo to test out for themselves!  The Giveaway starts 07/01/15 @ 1:00 p,m.

Collagen Eye Mask by Beneleaf




I think it's pretty well known by now that I am a huge skincare addict!  Even though I am a fanatic about skincare I have only been using Eye Masks for the last year or so.  Eye Masks are my favorite thing to use, especially if I have a special occasion and I want my under eye area to look puff free and dark circle free!  I have a few favs that really help reduce puffiness, hydrate and reduce dark circles and these Collagen Eye Masks by Beneleaf are definitely one of them!
These Eye Masks are made with cutting edge of skin care technology and contain Hydrogel that is identical in structure to our skin cells.  Upon application the Eye Masks go to work and the potent, skin loving ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid sink into the deepest layers of the dermis leaving it tighter, more hydrated and more smooth.  Dark circles and puffiness disappear! and the results last for a few days not just a few hours!

These Eye Masks are not only perfect for a special occasion or a night of relaxation but they also make a great gift idea!  I have a girlfriend that's getting married next week and these are going in a pre-wedding day goodie bag I am putting together for her!  
Go to beneleaf.com to purchase or for more information and you can also purchase on Amazon.com...
