Advanced Vitamin C+E Serum by Geneva Naturals

*Advanced Vitamin C+E Serum by Geneva Naturals

Vitamin C Serum is definitely one of the skincare products that I seem to recommend the most and I love discovering new ones to recommend.  This Advanced Vitamin C+E Serum by Geneva Naturals is one that I will be adding to my recommendation list.
This Vitamin C Serum is formulated with a few extra skin loving ingredients that make it a little more unique.  Of course it contains potent, high quality Vitamin C but it also has Edelweiss which contains anti-aging properties as well as my beloved Hyaluronic Acid and even some Coconut Oil, Moringa Oil and Vitamin E.  The combination of all of these ingredients makes for a powerful, age fighting serum!  I also love that it's Paraben-free, Sulfate-free, Phthalate-free and Cruelty free.
For best results I like to use as part of my morning and evening skincare routines.  I apply a dropper full to freshly cleansed and toned skin and my skin is still damp.  As usual, I like apply my serums to my face, neck and decollete.  Always take your skincare all the down!!
The serum is lightweight and absorbs easily so it can be followed up with facial oils and lotion if desired and in fact I would recommend it.  Obviously, this Advanced Vitamin C+E Serum by Geneva Naturals works especially well with the Geneva Naturals Advanced Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer with SPF, they are the perfect combo for day and night but you can use any oil or moisturizer.
This serum would be great for any skin type and will help keep skin youthful and glowing.  It helps firm and soften skin, helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and will also help lighten and brighten skin.  Depending on the condition of your skin you can expect to see results within about a week.

Sleep by HempFusion

*Sleep by HempFusion

If you've been reading my blog for any length of time then you probably already know that I suck at sleeping.  Sleeping has just never been my thing.  Even when I was a kid I would be the one at a sleep over wide awake first thing in the morning even after staying up most of the night.  

I have tried and continue to try just about anything and everything from prescriptions to tea and I am always up for trying something new.

I was super curious about this Sleep by HempFusion and couldn't wait to get my hands on it.  I have been using it off and on for a couple weeks now.  I have been even more sleep deprived than usual since we got a new puppy.  Our new, sweet little boy has earned the nickname "devil spawn" because  he keeps getting me up several times a night and then taking forever to go back to sleep.  So, taking something to help me sleep through some of those times when they puppy wants me to get up has been necessary just to stay keep my sanity in tact.

According to the website this Sleep by HempFusion has a unique full-spectrum phytocannabinoid oil extracted from Hemp, Black Pepper Fruit, and Clove Oil, which forms their proprietary Whole Food Hemp Complex.  This fusion of unique plant extracts includes valuable phytocannabinoids and terpenes naturally occurring in Hemp and other botanicals such as Black Pepper Fruit and Clove Oil.

The unique, proprietary formula in the Sleep by HempFusion can help provide possible support for stress management, restful sleep and even digestive health.  The HempFusion website also mentions that we already consume phytocannabinoids since they are found in common foods like cloves, hops, black pepper fruit and plants like Echinacea!

I have been taking one Sleep by HempFusion capsule about an hour before bed and it definitely helps me de-stress and relax which means I actually fall asleep a lot sooner than I normally would.  Just being able to fall asleep more easily is a huge benefit for me.  I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep so I need all the help I can get!

It's been hard for me to gauge whether or not it's helping me stay asleep since I am still being woken up by a puppy that I have to take outside to go potty (no, my husband is no help, he sleep's through everything!).  I will say that on the nights when I do take the Sleep by HempFusion and I have to get up several times throughout the night I find that I feel really groggy in the morning, even more so than usual.  To me that means it's working because if I was able to stay asleep instead of being woken up I feel I would be able to get a nice, restful, full nights sleep.  It definitely helps me get a few solid hours of sleep early on!  Needless to say, I am really looking forward to re-testing it when I know I don't have to worry about being woken up by a puppy every few hours.

Overall, I would say that this Sleep by HempFusion is worth checking out if you have any sort of sleeping issues!  I always prefer a more natural solution versus taking any sort of prescription and this is a great option.

Head over to HempFusion.com for more information and to find out where you can purchase your own bottle of Sleep by HempFusion.

LUMAPRO-C Brightening Pigment Corrector Serum by Hydropeptide

*LUMAPRO-C Brightening Pigment Corrector Serum by Hydropeptide

As someone who has struggled with hyperpigmentation/Melasma issues for over 20 years it's safe to say I have tried just about every pigment corrector out there.  For the most part they have all worked on some level.  However, there are definitely a few stand out products that I've used and this LUMAPRO-C Brightening Pigment Corrector Serum by Hydropeptide is unequivocally one of those stand out products.

If you're like me and suffer from any form of hyperpigmentation like Melasma, pregnancy mask, sun damage or even acne pigmentation then this LUMAPRO-C is something you will want to check out.  It safely lightens pigment using ingredients like peptides, Vitamin C and microalgae while having results that are similar to prescription skin lightening products.

While this serum can be used in the morning and evening I tend to only apply to my decollete during the day and then at night I will apply to my face, neck and decollete.  As with any skin lightening product you need to make sure you are using an SPF.  Since most pigmentation issues are triggered by the sun you want to make sure your fresh, new, lighter skin is protected.
I apply this serum to freshly washed and toned skin and after I apply my thinner serums since this serum is a bit thicker.  Once this LUMAPRO-C Brightening Pigment Corrector Serum is fully absorbed I will follow with my respective day or night time oils and creams.
I tend to use some type of skin lightening product on a semi-normal basis so that I can keep my Melasma in check and this has been my go to product for the last several weeks.  I have really seen a difference in my decollete.  Several Melasma spots are much lighter or gone entirely, my skin texture looks more smooth and youthful.  I was in desperate need of a serious skin lightener like this one!
This LUMAPRO-C Brightening Pigment Corrector Serum by Hydropeptide does come with a fairly hefty price tag at $148.00 for 1 oz.  Which, is why I love this as a maintenance brightening serum.  For me, I feel like I can get away with maybe using a less pricey product for day to day use but this makes the prefect serum to use about every 2 months for a few weeks to really give skin a boost, clear up any pigementation issues and give skin a nice glow.   I am so happy to have discovered this and it makes a great addition to my skincare arsenal!!

You can find this LUMAPRO-C Brightening Pigment Corrector Serum on the Hydropeptide website!  Plus, the lovely people at Hydropeptide have generously offered to give my readers a 20% discount!  Just use code BBLUMA20 to receive 20% off your LumaPro-C purchase!

Skin Brightening Serum by InstaNatural

*Skin Brightening Serum by InstaNatural

This is just another great product by InstaNatural.  I've been using InstaNatural products for a few years now and I've yet to try one I didn't like.

This Skin Brightening Serum does exactly what it says it will do.  It helps lighten and brighten uneven skin tone, helps nourish the skin and bring back it's natural glow!  This serum contains skin loving and anti-aging ingredients like Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid and Alpha-Arbutin which help support collagen production, visibly reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and provide skin with much needed hydration to help diminish the look of fine lines.

If you are looking for a serum that does a little bit of everything AND one that's affordable then this Skin Brightening Serum by InstaNatural is what you need in your life!  At only $14.95 for 1 oz. it's one of least expensive serums out there that provides results similar, or better than serums that cost 3x's as much.  Sometimes a more expensive serum does not necessarily mean it's better!

This serum should be applied to freshly washed and toned skin in the morning and evening.  I like to apply my serum while my skin is still slightly damp.  I find that spritzing my face with a nice hydrating mist (any will do) before I apply my serums and moisturizers provides me the best results.  This serum is lightweight and absorbs into the skin really quickly so you can almost immediately follow it up with your favorite moisturizer.  With continued use and depending on the condition of your skin you can expect to start seeing results in as little as one week.  

Of course you should be wearing and SPF everyday but since this serum does help to lighten and brighten the skin then I would also recommend using a high SPF while using this or any skin lightening product.

You can find this Skin Brightening Serum by InstaNatural on the InstaNatural website or over on Amazon.com...

Premium Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil for Dogs and Cats by TerraMax Pro

*Premium Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil for Dogs and Cats by TerraMax Pro

The health of my pets is definitely a priority to my family and I.  It's especially important after recently loosing our beloved, 9 year old Chocolate Lab to Lung Cancer and then finding out our 6 year old Pit Bull has 2 Mast Cell Tumors that she will need to have removed with surgery next week.

We have always made sure we feed our dogs quality pet food and we have also given them supplements as needed.  However, we have also spoiled our furbabies and probably given them one too many "treats"!  Regardless, things just happen that are out of our control no matter how good the food is that we feed our pets.

Nonetheless, we like to make sure we do our part in keeping our pets happy and healthy and that includes giving them supplements.  We have a variety of supplements that we give them on a regular basis and Salmon Oil is one of them.  Salmon Oil provides great benefits for dogs and cats.  It can help give them a nice shiny, healthy coat and skin, help relieve joint issues, improve cardiovascular health, nervous system health and can even help the development and maintenance of the brain, eyes and immune system among other benefits.

The key is find a good quality Salmon Oil that is 100% safe and all natural like this Premium Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil for Dogs and Cats by TerraMax Pro.  The Salmon that is used to manufacture this oil is wild caught in Alaska using only sustainable and responsible fishing methods.  It does not contain any binders, fillers or artificial ingredients.  This is just an excellent quality Salmon Oil that contains essential fatty acids EPA and DHA and over 15 different Omega's, including 3-5-6-7-8-9.  It's also an is an excellent source of Vitamin D and Astaxanthin!

I simply mix in the correct dose with our dogs/cats organic, grain free dry dog or cat food and they gobble it right up!  They can't resist that fishy Salmon smell!! 

I highly recommend adding some of this Salmon Oil to your furbabies diets!

Non Surgical Lifting Syringe by D'or 24K Luxury Skin Care

*Non Surgical Lifting Syringe by D'or 24K Luxury Skin Care

If you've ever thought about Botox or maybe you've even thought about getting an eye lift or face lift then you need to get your hands on this Non Surgical Lifting Syringe by D'or 24K Luxury Skin Care before you go under that needle or knife!  Within one minute your crows feet, fine lines, wrinkles, bags and puffiness are gone.  Skin becomes softer, smoother, tighter and younger looking almost instantly!

I'll be honest...this luxury product comes with a luxury price tag, retailing for $650.00, but also found it on Amazon for only $348.83.  However, the results are nothing short of amazing and there is no down time.  Besides, Botox and those surgical eye and face lifts aren't cheap either.  The results from using the Non Surgical Lifting Syringe from D’OR 24K will last several hours and with repeated use the results are more long term.  

Since this is a rather pricey item I like to save it for special occasions.  My husband is also a fan of this product.  He was amazed at how well in worked.  He looked years younger in less than a minute.  In fact, his results are better than mine simply because he has more wrinkles!

The product itself has a primer type consistency and a little goes a long way.  Just a little thin layer is all you need to smooth away those lines and bags and look years younger...instantly!  

Here are my before and after un-retouched photos.  You can see in the picture on the left that I have some fine lines and puffiness and on the picture on the right my fine lines and puffiness are gone!  Even my dark circles are less noticeable!  That's in less than 60 seconds!  Pretty amazing stuff!

If your vain in anyway and you struggle with fine lines, wrinkles eye bags or any of those annoying issues that make us look older than we really are then I really think this is a product that it worth checking out!  Also, if you have a reunion coming up then this is a MUST HAVE.  I promise it will be money well spent and you can thank me later...

Performance Peel AP25 by Exuviance

*Performance Peel AP25 by Exuviance

I'm probably a little biased when it comes to Exuviance products but it's really only because they actually work.  I love testing out their products because they tend to go above and beyond my expectations and this Performance Peel AP25 is no exception.

Just twice a week is all you need to even out skin tone, smooth texture and it also helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles.  I've used a lot of different peels over the years and this one is very gentle and a great choice if your a new to the "peel" phenomenon.  

This peel contains a 25% blend of AHAs and PHAs including Glycolic Acid, Mandelic Acid and Gluconolactone that helps exfoliate dead skin cells and speed up the process of cell renewal which results in healthier and younger looking skin.  However, it's gentle and there is no down time.  You may experience some flaking as the dull, dead skin begins to slough off but that is the only side effect I experienced.

If you struggle with uneven skin tone, breakouts, fine lines, wrinkles, dull and textured skin you will definitely benefit from this Performance Peel AP25.  I noticed a difference in my skin even after the first use, it just seemed to be a bit brighter.  Since I use acids on face on a semi regular basis I had the most significant results on mt decollete where I tend to have more Melasma.  Within just a few weeks my decollete has become more smooth, even toned, clearer and brighter. 

Here is some great examples of the results after 4 weeks of twice weekly use....

If your looking to really revitalize and rejuvenate your skin within just a couple of weeks then I highly recommend you combine this Performance Peel AP25 by Exuviance twice a week along with daily use of their Purifying Cleansing Gel and Evening Restorative Complex.  I like to call this the triple threat treatment!  Try it out and you will thank me later!!

You can find the Performance Peel AP25 by Exuviance on their website.  It retails for $77.00 and contains 12 peels which is a 6 week supply.
