Divine Age Guardian Cream by Perfective Ceuticals

*Divine Age Guardian Cream by Perfective Ceuticals

I recently did a review on another moisturizer that I have been loving for day time and this Divine Age Guardian Cream by Perfective Ceuticals is what I have been using and loving for my night cream.

You could totally use this as daytime moisturizer, however, it is a more intense moisturizer and since I already have oily skin I like to use it at night.  If you have dry, normal or combination skin this would work great for either daytime or nighttime.  The Divine Age Guardian Cream by Perfective Ceuticals also has a more luxurious feel to it, from the packaging to the cream itself it just feels high end and something I would expect from a higher price point night cream.

What makes this cream special is the anti-aging technology combined with potent anti-aging ingredients like Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), Matrixyl (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4), Omega 3-6-9, Retinol and Ginseng Extract is formulated to hydrate, nourish, rejuvenate aging skin, stimulate collagen and diminish fine lines and wrinkles.  It also contains Licorice Extract so it helps even out skin tone and lighten hyperpigmentation, which is exactly what I need since I have Melasma!

I use this as the last step in my nighttime skincare routine and in the morning I wake up with soft, smooth and radiant looking skin.  It's really the perfect night cream and since it's non-comedogenic it's also perfect for any skin type!

*Active Hydration Facial Moisturizer by SkinDaily Skin Care Solutions

As a teenager I had oily skin and now at 42 I am still dealing with oily skin!  I really thought that by now my skin would have calmed down but not a chance.  The one big difference is that when I was a teenager I thought moisturizer was my enemy but when you know better you do better!  I now realize that moisturizing my oily skin is probably the best thing I can do for it.  I even have a love for facial oils and serums now that I know that hydrating oily skin can be beneficial.

I use a moisturizer in both my morning and evening skincare routines.  During the day I like to use a lightweight, all natural moisturizer that is quickly absorbed but provides anti-aging benefits as well.  This Active Hydration Facial Moisturizer by SkinDaily Skin Care Solutions fits that description perfectly and it's the perfect daytime moisturizer for me.  It's lightweight and quickly absorbed leaving my skin feeling well hydrated soft and smooth not greasy or oily at all.  This all natural and organic moisturizer contains the perfect mixture of Amino Acids, Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, MSM, Rosehip Oil, and a variety of botanical antioxidants that help hydrate, heal and repair skin.  This moisturizer really helps balance out my skin and provides me with much needed hydration while keeping my skin looking and feeling youthful!  It's even fragrance free so it would also work great if you have sensitive skin and actually I would recommend the Active Hydration Facial Moisturizer by SkinDaily Skin Care Solutions for all skin types!

Bright On! Brightening Crème by Everfairy

*Bright On! Brightening Crème by Everfairy

For those of you readers that don't already know I happen to suffer from Melasma.  What is Melasma you ask?  Basically, it's a really annoying skin condition that causes spots of hyperpigmentation.  Usually, Melasma is found on the face neck & decollete area and some cases of Melasma can be more severe than others.  My case of Melasma is not severe but it's definitely noticeable and like I said before...really annoying.  Sun perpetuates Melasma so using sunscreen everyday is a must!  I wear 50 SPF on my face and neck everyday.  However, keeping my Melasma in check is a daily battle for me which is why I am constantly trying every lightening & brightening cream I can get my hands on.

Most creams, lotions and potions that promise to lighten & brighten rely on Hydroquinone which can be toxic and is banned in several countries.  Thankfully some companies like Everfairy take a more natural approach!  Bright On! Brightening Crème by Everfairy is made from safe, natural and organic ingredients.  Bright On! uses Hyaluronic and Kojic Acid which not only helps lighten, brighten and even out skin tone but it also helps keep skin clear of blemishes and leaves skin nourished and hydrated.  It's really the prefect lightening cream for me and since I started using it a few weeks ago I have seen a noticeable difference in my Melasma spots.  No matter what I use my spots never fully disappear but being able to see visible results with a natural and organic cream like Bright On! Brightening Crème by Everfairy is pretty amazing.

I cannot stress using a daily SPF enough!  Especially, if you are dealing with hyperpigmentation issues like me.  I would also recommend using at least 25+ SPF, the higher the better.  If you don't use an SPF and you are using a lightening cream chances are pretty high that those spots you are trying so desperately to get rid of will come right back.

Anti Acne / Anti Blemish Treatment Gel by Elba Naturals

*Anti Acne / Anti Blemish Treatment Gel by Elba Naturals

Two things I am a total sucker for...skincare products and anything organic!  So, naturally I LOVE this Anti Acne / Anti Blemish Treatment Gel by Elba Naturals!  At 41 years old I can't say that I have Acne but my skin is still very oily and I am definitely blemish prone so I really have to be careful about what products I put on my face.
As far as breakouts I will get the occasional blemish or two, especially if I am testing out any heavy creams but for the most part I usually only get hormonal breakouts once a month when Aunt Flow is visiting (if you know what I mean...lol).  Either way, this Anti Acne / Anti Blemish Treatment Gel by Elba Naturals works perfectly.  Not only does it smell amazing, if you like the smell of cloves like I do but I love what it does for my skin.  It's a lightweight gel that absorbs quickly and easily and even helps give skin a little matte effect which I need since I have oily skin.  However, the matifying effect isn't extreme so it would work on any skin type.  The gel also helps soothe and heal any current breakouts and helps any new ones from forming.  The Anti Acne / Anti Blemish Treatment Gel by Elba Naturals has found a permanent home among my other skincare favorites!
This is truly a great product that I would recommend for any skin type and even if you just use it for the occasional breakout if your blessed with normal skin.  I have tried several Elba Naturals products now and I continue to be impressed and cannot wait to see what they come out with next!

Organic Singbulli Darjeeling Tea by Golden Tips Tea

*Organic Singbulli Darjeeling Tea by Golden Tips Tea

Mmmmm....Tea! I love Tea. There is nothing better than a warm cup of delicious Tea on a crisp fall morning. Being a huge Tea fan I have tried tons of teas. All kinds of flavors, black, green, white just about every type you can imagine. However, I have never had Organic Singbulli Darjeeling Tea! I have Teas similar in flavor but not Singbulli Darjeeling Tea.

This Organic Singbulli Darjeeling Tea by Golden Tips Tea originates from the Darjeeling estate in India and is located at an altitude ranging from 400 to 1350 meters and is spread beautifully across nine hills.  Singbulli manufactures some of the best Darjeeling teas.  It's most similar to a typical black tea but you can taste hints of fruit & Vanilla so I find it a little sweeter than a normal black tea.  For me, the Organic Singbulli Darjeeling Tea makes the perfect cup of morning tea!  It can help boosts immune system which makes Fall the perfect time of year to drink this kind of tea.  It can also help with digestion issues, purifies blood, helps lowers sugar and cholesterol levels, it can also help strengthen bones and can even prevent tooth decay among other things.

If you are a tea lover like me and you haven't tried Organic Singbulli Darjeeling Tea then you simply must get your hands on some!  Check out goldentipstea.com or you can also pick it up on Amazon.com...
