Transformation Face Cream by Jan Marini Skin Research


As someone who has aging but oily skin I know how hard it is to find a moisturizer that can deal with all the aspects of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and uneven texture while not being too heavy and adding to my oily skin problem.  And yes, oily skin does need to be moisturized!
Over the years I have been able to find a few that I really like and use on a regular basis.  However, they are usually moisturizers/creams that are made for problematic skin and not necessarily aging skin.  While those worked for me just fine I haven't really been able to use a true anti-aging face cream or moisturizer except at night because they tend to be too heavy for day time use on my oily skin.
Just when I thought all hope was lost in finding my perfect face cream Jan Marini Skin Research saves the day!  Their Transformation Face Cream is exactly what I've been searching for!  It's formulated to help with all visible signs of aging while providing hydration and suppleness to the skin.  It also offers all the benefits of a heavier face cream but it's actually very lightweight, absorbs quickly and helps balance out my oily skin.  It's perfection!  It also works seamlessly with their other serums and their Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33.  My skin just seems to look and feel younger, softer and smoother every time I use it.  Plus, it's great for all skin types, even Acne-Prone! 
I would say this is my new Holy Grail face cream!  But, don't just take my word for it.  It's such a great face cream that it won the 2017 ASCP Skin Deep Readers Choice Award!  
In this case you really get what you pay for. It's definitely one amazing anti-aging cream but it's also a little pricey.  It retails for $105.00 for a 1 oz. jar.  Even with a steep price tag I can't recommend it enough.  If it's in your budget I would definitely check it out, I promise, you won't be disappointed!

Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33 by Jan Marini Skin Research


When it comes to sunscreen for my face I usually use foundation that contains SPF since I've never really found an actual sunscreen that I love enough to use everyday.  I've just always had a hard time finding a sunscreen for my face that works well with my oily skin.  Most of the sunscreens that I've tried are too thick and leave my skin feeling extra greasy and that's just not a good look!
Then in comes Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33 to save the day!  I must admit, even as much as I love every product I've ever tried from Jan Marini Skin Research and even though they promised this Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33 to have additional oil control capabilities I was still skeptical.  After all, I've tested hundreds if not thousands of products so I've become accustomed to being let down.  However, being the beauty blogger and product tester that I am I knew I had to try yet again and I am so glad I did.  This SPF is a total game changer for me.  I have been using it over the Transformation Face Cream also by Jan Marini Skin Research (which is another amazing product & a review of that will be on the blog soon so stay tuned!) and under my Bare Minerals foundation and the result is...I could not be happier.  I think I have finally found the perfect combination of products that will protect and treat my skin while keeping my oil in check at the same time!  Miracles really do happen!
The Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33 by Jan Marini Skin Research is not your average sunscreen.  It's everything they claim it to be and more.  Not only does this sunscreen provide broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection to minimize the risk of cancer and provide protection but it's also enhanced with antioxidants.  So it also helps treat sun damaged skin as well.  Plus, it's lightweight, goes on like a moisturizer and is easily absorbed and it's Water Resistant up to 80 minutes.  Then there is my favorite part which is the microscopic particles of amazingness that help with oil control.  Genius!
The Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33 by Jan Marini Skin Research retails for $51.00 for 2 oz. and it's worth every penny!

Keto Fast™ by Healthywiser


Need a little something in your life that can help boost your energy, metabolism and help curb your appetite all without caffeine or other stimulants?  Then your going to want to get some Keto Fast by Healthywiser!  
I've been using this Keto Fast in the mornings and afternoons when I need a little pick me up and not only does it give me increased energy levels but it has definitely helped keep away those mid morning and mid afternoon snack attacks.  I also like that Keto Fast helps boost metabolism because I for sure need help in that department!
Keto Fast powder is formulated to help your body reach and sustain an extended state of Ketosis.  In layman's terms Ketosis is your body's normal metabolic process and is something your body does to keep working.  However, when it doesn't have enough carbohydrates from food for your cells to use for energy it will start to burn fat instead and THAT is what you want!
The Keto Fast by Healthywiser is what you need to help your body burn that extra fat and I am all about that life!  My favorite way to enjoy the Keto Fast is to take a large Blender Bottle and fill it up half way with water and add 1 scoop of the Keto Fast powder and shake vigorously.  Once the powder is well blended fill the rest of the Blender Bottle with ice, shake again and enjoy.  It has a lemon-lime flavor that actually reminds me of the old school Country Time powdered lemonade!

Affordable Hair Savers - Tea Tree Oil Shampoo & Jojoba Oil by Maple Holistics


For me Tea Tree Oil & Jojoba Oil go hand in hand when it comes to taking care of my hair and scalp.  However, not all Tea Tree Oil and Jojoba Oil products are created equal.  To get good results you have to stick with good quality products that use only natural/organic ingredients.  It's all the additives that they put in hair products these days that can cause further irritation to the scalp and strip hair of much need moisture!
Tea Tree Oil is best known for its impressive antiseptic properties which is really great if you have any type of skin condition.  Unfortunately, I just so happen to have a a few stubborn Eczema patches that like to make their appearance on my scalp and I've found that Tea Tree Oil really helps soothe my irritated skin and it also helps to heal it at the same time.  
What I love most about this Tea Tree Oil Shampoo by Maple Holistics is that I get the antiseptic benefits to help treat my scalp irritations but it also helps give my hair a deep clean by removing any left over residue from dry shampoos and the heavy conditioners that I like to use.
I don't use the Tea Tree Oil Shampoo everyday, I only use it about once a week or more if I have Eczema flare ups or if my hair is feeling weighed down.  After just one use my scalp feels clean and my hair feels clean as well and it also feels really nourished!
Tea Tree Oil Shampoo by Maple Holistics is a must have to take your hair and scalp care to the next level!  The Tea Tree Oil Shampoo retails for $10.95 for 8oz.


Jojoba Oil by Maple Holistics is the other product that I use to keep my hair in the best condition possible.  Besides being great for your skin, Jojoba Oil is also great for your hair.  It's perfect to help to nourish and hydrate dry, damaged hair.  For everyday use I like to apply it just to my ends to control frizz and smooth flyaways.  However, I will also use it as an overnight mask.  To do this, I saturate my dry hair, staying away from my roots and concentrating more on the ends and then just wash it out in the morning and voilà!  My hair is restored, hydrated and more manageable!  Plus, since Jojoba Oil is so good for your skin as well it makes for the perfect oil to use as an overnight hair mask.  I love that I don't have to worry about it getting on my face from pillow transfer and creating breakouts.  It's a win for your hair and your skin!  The Jojoba Oil retails for $8.95 for 2oz.

AdvantaVita Organic Moringa Oleifera Powder



I've used Moringa Powder on and off for years.  I go through these health spurts where I eat a ton of "superfoods" and take a ton of really healthy supplements to avoid getting  sick, especially this time of year, and it definitely works!  I've always included Moringa Powder in the mix because it's a superfood that has really great health benefits.
Good quality Moringa Powder like this Organic Moringa Oleifera Powder by AdvantaVita is essential to make sure you are getting the best health benefits possible.  In general, Moringa is a really excellent source of protein and it also contains Vitamin C & A, Calcium and Potassium.  Plus, Moringa can help boost the immune system, fight free radicals, help with inflammation, support brain health, protect the liver & cardiovascular system, it also contains antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, helps heal skin issues and has also been known to help reduce some diabetes symptoms...just to name a few!
My favorite way to enjoy all the health benefits of Moringa is to make it into a tea or mix some into a smoothie.  It tastes very similar to Yerba Mate which I happen to like so I usually just make it into a nice cup of hot tea...and Enjoy!
This Organic Moringa Oleifera Powder by AdvantaVita has great color and taste and I can't recommend it enough.  It costs $22.90 for 16 oz. and you can find it over on Amazon...

Un-Wrinkle Your Life with Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair® Regenerating Cream


I've been using Neutrogena products since I was a teenager and it's crazy to think that I'm almost 45 and I'm STILL using Neutrogena products!  Of course, the products that I use have changed over the years from anti-acne products to anti-wrinkle products so thankfully Neutrogena makes something for every skincare need.
Neutrogena was kind enough to send me their Rapid Wrinkle Repair® Regenerating Cream to test out and I've quickly become obsessed with it!  I do find it to be a little too intense for my already oily face to use during the day but it makes for a perfect night cream.  However, I have also been diligently applying it morning and night to my neck and decollete and I am blown away by my results!
The claim is that you should see "visibly younger-looking skin in just one week" and I totally agree with that claim.  This unique cream is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid and a high concentration of Accelerated Retinol SA that deeply penetrates the surface of the skin.  These potent ingredients help to plump and smooth fine lines and wrinkles making skin feel hydrated, softer, smoother and look younger.  Plus, the Retinol helps to brighten uneven skin tone and smooth textured skin!
As with any product that contains Retinol you should always use it in conjunction with an SPF and the Neutrogena® Ultra Sheer® Dry-Touch Sunscreen works seamlessly with the Rapid Wrinkle Repair® Regenerating Cream.  It absorbs really quickly and feels very light-weight on the skin...to the point where I forget I even have it on.  It also wears really nicely under makeup!  So, there is no reason to forget your sunscreen.
All I know is that the Rapid Wrinkle Repair® Regenerating Cream is definitely a product you need in your life if your starting to show any visible signs of aging!



I cannot recommend these products enough!  Besides, I just love it when I discover "holy grail" products that I can recommend to my readers and followers that can be purchased at the local drugstore and that don't cost and arm and a leg!
If you would like more detailed information on this Rapid Wrinkle Repair® Regenerating Cream please make sure to visit neutrogena.com. #WrinkleMeNot
Retails for $24.97-$27.99 for 1.7 oz.
