Natural & Organic Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer by Valentia Skin Care

*Natural & Organic Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer by Valentia Skin Care

As a beauty blogger I am blessed at being able to test out lots of great skincare products and in the process I also discover some fantastic brands and Valentia Skin Care is one of them.  I've tested out several products from Valentia and because the products are such great quality and because I love what they do for my skin they have become one of my favorite skincare brands.

The newest product that I have been testing out is this Natural & Organic Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer.  It's loaded with some potent ingredients like Botanical Hyaluronic Acid and Shea Butter that help hydrate and nourish the skin while ingredients like Ginseng and Kojic Acid also help even out skin tone and firm the skin.

This is a lightweight moisturizer that is easily and quickly absorbed into the skin leaving it feeling soft and hydrated and it also adds a nice "glow from within" look to the skin as well.  In general, I have oily skin and this moisturizer actually seems to help balance out my skin.  It helps diminish my fine lines and overall my skin just looks more healthy and hydrated.

This is a great day time moisturizer but I have even used it as a night cream too.  It wears well under makeup and I haven't had any issues with breakouts.  I would recommend this moisturizer for all skin types.  I really think just about every skin type from dry to oily and even acne prone could benefit from it.  Plus, I think it's at a great price point at $25.00 for a 4 ounce bottle that will last forever.  Of course, it also contains all natural and organic ingredients that do some really great things for the skin which make it really worth it!

You can find this Natural & Organic Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer by Valentia Skin Care on the Valentia website or over on Amazon.com...

Age Defend Replenishing Moisturizer & Hydration Injection Masque by ARK Skincare

*Age Defend Replenishing Moisturizer by ARK Skincare

One of the things I love about being a beauty blogger is all the great new skincare products and brands I get to discover!  I can definitely add ARK Skincare and their Age Defend Replenishing Moisturizer & Hydration Injection Masque to my favorites list!  The packaging is next level and so are the products.

According to the ARK website ARK Skincare is all about producing products that deliver professional, salon grade results using the most innovative natural formulations.  As a result we get a highly effective and personalized skincare regime that's individualized!

Their Age Defend Replenishing Moisturizer is specifically formulated for skin in the 30's and 40's age range.  I'm 43 so I'm well into the 40's category.  Even though I'm 43 I would have to say that I would still consider my skin type to be oily.  Having oily skin means I have to really pick and choose what kind of moisturizer I use on my face.  Most moisturizers formulated for more "mature" skins tend to be a little too heavy for my skin.  This Age Defend Replenishing Moisturizer is somewhere in the middle.  I've found that it all depends on what else I am putting on my face.  If I am using a primer and a mineral foundation it's the perfect moisturizer for me.  However, if I am wearing a more nourishing liquid foundation on top of it my skin will start to get shiny around 11am.  Although, I have also been using it as my night cream and I love the way my skin looks and feels in the morning.  It has a nice glow and looks nice and smooth.  Of course I also use it on my neck and decollete morning and night!  Do not forget those necks and decolletes!!

Overall, this is a fantastic moisturizer that I am happy to have in my skincare arsenal.  It really plumps, hydrates and nourishes my skin and gives it the "glow from within" look which I love.  I have also noticed that since I have started using it that my fine lines are less noticeable so that makes this moisturizer a winner right there!

If your like me and have oily skin I would still highly recommend giving this a try.  You just need to think about what else you will be wearing along with it and make the necessary adjustments.  Or maybe try the Age Protect Skin Vitality Moisturizer that is formulated for younger skin.  However, if you have combination, normal or dry or mature skin you will be in heaven!

The Age Defend Replenishing Moisturizer retails for $70.00 for 1.7 oz and you can find it on arkskincareusa.com.

*Hydration Injection Masque by ARK Skincare 

I must admit that I have probably never met a mask I didn't like.  I always feel like my skin looks and feels better when I use a mask and I try to do some version of a mask at least three times a week.  I do everything from clay, gel, cream and of course I love a good sheet mask.  My favorite thing to do is multi-masking.  For those of you that have been living under a rock and never heard the tem multi-masking it's essentially using several different masks all at once.  I usually like to use a clay based mask on the areas where my skin is looking and feeling a little congested and then use a hydrating cream or gel based mask on the areas that are looking dull and dehydrated.

This Hydration Injection Masque has become my favorite when my skin needs an instant hydration boost and when I am doing my multi-masking sessions.  This mask is so intense that after just 5 minutes your skin will look more plump and nourished.  This is a fantastic mask to use before a night out simply because you can have better looking skin in just 5 minutes!  If you have time or for more intensive hydration leave it on longer.  It can even be left on overnight if your skin is looking and feeling really especially depleted.

Whatever your the condition of your skin this Hydration Injection Masque by ARK Skincare can improve it in just 5 minutes.  Who doesn't have 5 minutes?  Formulated with multivitamins and Hyaluronic Acid your skin will look more nourished, rested, plump and radiant and feel more moisturized, soft and smooth after just one application.  Amazing!

The Hydration Injection Masque by ARK Skincare retails for $70.00 for 2.5 oz and you can find it on arkskincareusa.com.

Phytoaminopeptide Serum by Serment

*Phytoaminopeptide Serum by Serment 

One thing I've realized over the years while being a self proclaimed skincare addict it's that the lovely Korean people know how to do skincare!  There is a ton of excellent Korean skincare on the market these days and most of it's fun and innovative. 

While this Phytoaminopeptide Serum by Serment isn't as fun as wearing a Panda face Sheet Mask it does some pretty great things for the skin.  It's formulated with Phyto-stem cells activators which help cells build new tissue which translates into soft, smooth skin.  It also contains anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients which helps keep skin looking clear and refreshed.  It also helps diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles.  It's the perfect multi-tasking product!

This serum is lightweight and absorbs really quickly.  I like to apply it daily to a freshly washed face and to slightly damp skin.  I use as part of both my morning and evening skincare routines and I also make sure to apply it to my neck and decollete!

I think all skin types would benefit from this serum and I highly recommend it!

*Retexturing Treatment by Exuviance 

Who doesn't want softer, smoother skin?  And I'm not just talking about your face!  We should be able to have soft and smooth skin everywhere, am I right?  This heavenly Retexturing Treatment by Exuviance gives you just that, softer, smoother skin all over your body.  It's mainly recommended for your arms and legs but I've been slathering it all over and loving the way my skin looks and feels.

Of course I already knew I would end up loving this since it's a product by Exuviance.  Exuviance is one of my favorite skincare brands.  Admittedly, as a skincare addict I have a more than a few brands that I love but Exuviance is one that never disappoints!

Everything about this product reminds me of a swanky Spa.  From the look of the packaging and the smell of the product to the results it delivers.  This Retexturing Treatment by Exuviance is formulated with a 10% Glycolic Acid/PHA which encourages cell turnover and helps resurface skin to reveal fresh, new skin.  That means your once dry, rough and flaky skin becomes soft, smooth and even a little younger looking!  It also contains Vitamin E, and Shea Butter to help hydrate, reinforce and protect that fresh new skin.

This would especially be a fantastic product to use if you have issues Keratosis Pilaris.  Otherwise known as "those annoying little bumps you get on the back of your arms and thighs".  Thankfully, I don't have Keratosis Pilaris but I can see where this Retexturing Treatment would be highly beneficial in treating this condition.

As with any product that encourages cell turn over it's also recommended that you use an SPF in conjunction to prevent a possible sunburn.  Plus, you need to keep that fresh new skin looking it's best for as long as possible!

I usually use Retexturing Treatment by Exuviance at night before bed but I have also used it as part of my usual morning skincare routine as well.  It's a fairly lightweight lotion that absorbs really quickly and instantly leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated.  I started seeing a difference in the appearance of my skin within a few days of consistent use.  My dry, rough patches were markedly improved and the overall look and feel of my skin was much softer and smoother.

Advanced Probiotic by Nutrivee inevitably

*Advanced Probiotic by Nutrivee

Since I started taking Probiotics on a regular basis I have noticed a real difference in my overall health, especially in my skin.  Balancing out the good bacteria in your gut is super important and essential for good overall health and immunity, inside and out.

This Advanced Probiotic by Nutrivee is a great quality Probiotic that I have been taking in conjunction with their Prebiotic.  I take Probiotics everyday but I take an extra dosage if I'm not feeling well, going to be eating a lot of sugar or if I plan on drinking.  Since the bad bacteria feed off sugar I like to make sure I have plenty of the good guys!

Since I have a day job where I have to deal with money, checks and that sort of thing that means I am subjected to all the nasty cold and flu viruses that come along and I inevitably get sick every year, regardless of how many vitamins and supplements I take.  Unfortunately, that time came early this year and I was sick with the flu all last week.  I was so sick I forgot to keep taking my vitamins and supplements.  All I could do was feel sorry for myself, lay in bed and sleep.  I was miserable.  It was a time when I should of been taking extra everything but I just didn't have the energy to even think about it.  However, once my fever subsided and I felt like I could get out of bed I started taking this Advanced Probiotic by Nutrivee and their Prebiotic and even though I am in the cold stage of the cold/flu I am definitely recovering much faster than I would have if I didn't start taking my supplements.  The body needs all the help it can get when it's recovering from an illness!

If you haven't been taking Prebiotics or Probiotics Fall is definitely a great time of year to start!
