Whitening Mask Sleeping Pack by Shouvy



Asian skincare is all the rage and I must admit I've jumped on the bandwagon myself!  While I've tried some sheet masks that seemed to be more gimmicky than anything else for the most part there is a reason why everyone raves about Asian skincare products, they work!
This Whitening Mask Sleeping Pack by Shouvy is definitely one of those products.  Developed with potent skin lightening ingredients this mask can deliver results after just a few uses.  
I've been testing this out on my decollete area where I have most of my hyperpigmentation and I noticed a that some of my more prominent spots were distinctly lighter in appearance after just three nights of continued use.  Not only did it help lighten up my hyperpigmentation but it also left my skin feeling soft and hydrated.  Plus, I love a good sleeping mask.  It's so easy to just put it on before bed and not have to worry about rinsing it off.  Besides, who doesn't love waking up looking better than you did before you went to bed!
I would recommend this skin lightening mask for anyone dealing with pigmentation issues.  However, double check the ingredients list below to make sure you don't have any sensitivity issues and I always recommend doing a test patch with these types of products as well.

MCT Oil Powder by Mr Ros



Should you be consuming MCT Oil?  I think the easy answer is yes.  Even if you are relatively healthy you can reap the benefits of MCT Oil.  MCT Oil is a good type of fat that takes minimal effort from the liver to convert into a fuel source for the body and has multiple health benefits.
If you are looking to loose weight or even if you just want to maintain your current weight you will find MCT Oil beneficial.  MCT Oil can help you fill full longer and help raise your metabolic rate which can translate into weight loss for some people.
Above and beyond using MCT Oil for weight loss there are even more significant benefits like improved energy levels, mood, heart health, it can aid in digestion and nutrient absorption and it even has antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties.
This MCT Oil Powder by Mr Ros is made out of sustainable Non-GMO Rapeseed Oil & Non-GMO Palm Oil and comes in a powder form.  The powder doesn't really have any taste to it so that means it can easily be added to your coffee, tea or smoothies without effecting the flavor.  It's the perfect addition to a healthy lifestyle!

Thanaka Powder by NuuLeaf



I thought I've tried just about every type of skincare product on the market but I was wrong!  I have never even heard of Thanaka Powder before this but apparently it's been around  for over 2000 years, who knew?!  
Your probably wondering the same thing I did...what is Thanaka Powder?  Thanaka Powder is made out of hand selected barks from the Burmese Thanaka Tree.  Thankfully, NuuLeaf has already gone through the trouble harvesting the bark, grinding it into a nice powder form and putting it in a convenient jar.  Normally, a paste is created by adding water to the Thanaka Powder or it can be combined with other skin loving ingredients to create a more personalized mask.  Suitable for all skin types it helps tone and revitalize your skin but can be really beneficial for over active oily skin and acne prone skin.  It will also help lighten and brighten skin making hyperpigmentation less noticeable.  After just one use skin looks and feels soft, smooth and more radiant.
Another side benefit is that when used on a regular basis it can help eliminate unwanted facial hair!  Although I have yet to try it you can also create a Sunscreen using Thanaka Powder, the possibilities seem to be endless with this stuff.
At only $12.50 for a 1.76 ounces (which will last a really long time) this Thanaka Powder by NuuLeaf is worth checking out!

You can find Thanaka Powder by NuuLeaf on Amazon.com...

Resistance Band Set by Core Fitness Zone



While I admire all you buff, hard core fitness types I just do not have the time and energy to put in the work to be like hat.  However, I do love to stay in shape (whenever my schedule allows) so when I have the time, I am more a hiking, walking, Yoga and Barre3 kind of gal.  Which is exactly why I LOVE Resistance Bands.
I can get the best low-impact workout using Resistance Bands.  This Resistance Band Set by Core Fitness Zone has everything I need for a total body workout and they even throw in a convenient carrying case to store everything in.  I also like the fact that I can just throw the bag of Bands in my suitcase and take them with me when I travel.  The set is compact and lightweight so I have no excuses not to take it with me.
These Resistance Bands are easy to use, inexpensive and cover all my workout needs and I highly recommend them to all my readers!

Derma Roller System



A Derma Roller/Micro Needle Roller, what is it and do you need it?  If you have perfect skin then no you don't need it.  If you have less than perfect skin then chances are you could really benefit from a Derma Roller and you should keep reading!  
A Derma Roller is a skin care tool that is uses hundreds of extremely fine medical-grade needles, available in various sizes, to painlessly (usually) puncture microchannels into the skin which then triggers the bodys' natural healing process to create new tissue.  If you have acne scarring, wrinkles, uneven skin texture or hyperpigmentation then a Derma Roller is something I recommend adding to your skin care regime. 
As we age our cell renewal process slows down so it makes sense that if we can help our skin cells renew on a regular basis that our skin will continue to look and feel younger for longer.
Using a Derma Roller has helped smooth out some of my old acne scars, diminish the look of fine lines and helped keep my Melasma under control.  All it takes is 3-5 sessions a week with the appropriate size Derma Roller to help maintain healthy, glowing skin.
The Derma Roller System offers various sizes from 0.5mm if you just want some help with cell renewal or all the way up to 2.5 mm which can be used to treat deeper scarring and stretch marks.  If your a beginner I would recommend starting with the 0.55mm size needle and work your way up to the larger sizes.  I personally use a 1.5 mm which helps promote cell regeneration and treat wrinkles, scarring and hyperpigmentation.
When using a Derma Roller you should always start with freshly cleansed skin and a clean Derma Roller.  I primarily use my Derma Roller on my face, neck and decollete and I incorporate it into my nightly skin care routine about 3-5 times a week.  
The proper way to Derma Roll is to gently over the area you wish to treat 4 times vertically, 4 times horizontally, 4 times diagonally to the left and 4 times diagonally to the right.  You can apply your favorite oil, serum or cream before you Derma Roller or after.  My preference is to do it after.  A nice hydrating sheet mask is also beneficial when used immediately following a Derma Roller session.  You will instantly notice that your skin will look more fresh and plump even after just one use!



The Derma Roller System retails for $79.95.  For more detailed information about the Derma Roller System, treatment and needle sizes make sure to visit dermarollersystem.com.  Are you ready to try Derma Rolling?

Advanced Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer with SPF by Geneva Naturals


Finding a moisturizer that works and that doesn't break out my 43 year old but still oily skin can sometimes be a bit tricky.  When testing out a moisturizer I usually start with my neck and chest and then work my way up to my face.  If a moisturizer is too thick and emollient then I immediately know that it probably won't work for my face.  I like my facial moisturizers to be lightweight, easily absorbed and to leave my skin feeling soft and hydrated not greasy or slick.
Thankfully this Advanced Anti-Aging Facial Moisturizer with SPF by Geneva Naturals has exactly what I look for in a moisturizer!  It's jam packed with all kinds of beneficial ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Cacao Seed Butter, Seaweed Extract and Retinol among others.  Plus, it's lightweight and leaves my skin feeling nourished and supple, not at all greasy.  As an added bonus it also has SPF 20 which provides me with some much needed protection from the sun!  It's a really great, simple everyday moisturizer.  I think if you have especially oily skin or if you are acne prone then this would be a great night time moisturizer for you.  If you have normal to combo skin you can use day or night, or both.  It also pairs really well with the Vitamin C Serum by Geneva Naturals.
Another awesome thing about this moisturizer is that not only is it made with quality ingredients but it is also Paraben-free, Sulfate-free, Phthalate-free and Cruelty free!

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.
