Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel *Sensitive*

21 Jul

Although Juice Beauty’s Green Apple Peel is uber popular, and very well known to me, peels are new to me. Masks and Scrubs, I know like the back of my hand. Peels on the other hand are something I’m a little un-knowledgable about. Juice Beauty and their organic solutions for healthy, radiant skin, make 2 versions of this peel. Full Strength and Sensitive. Which is me, all the way.

Designed for sensitive skin, this refining complex of certified organic apple, lemon, grape juices, and raw sugar exfoliate and brightens for visibly improved skin tone and texture.

It is powerful without the use of parabens, propylene or butylene gycols, silicones, GMO, sulphates, pesticides, artificial dyes, fragrances, petroleum, PEGs, TEA or DEA.


Use once a week by applying a generous layer to cleansed face and neck. Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse well.

I really like this. This is my first time using peel, or a Juice Beauty skincare product. I think the most important thing for me is my skin is sensitive. And while I want to scrub it really hard, etc. I know I shouldn’t. This effectively exfoliates, without the use of manual exfoliation. Which for someone with acne prone skin, thats important. Because we know we are supposed to be super gentle to our skin. But sometimes we want to do the opposite. This is your solution to that. And 10 minutes later, my face looked more even. It helped tone down redness, left it with improved clarity. I look forward to using it once a week. And making myself only use it once a week. I don’t follow directions well, bad beauty mama! 🙂

Great peel, excellent way to effectively, gently exfoliate your skin, leaving it with a yummy goodness glow organically.

You can find this peel, the full strength version, and other great products from Juice Beauty on their website. Juice Beauty is also sold at Sephora, and QVC, just to name a few. 🙂

Beauty Cosmedics Oil-Free Moisture SPF15

13 Jul

So there some things, in my make up routine that are not “green” so to speak.

*GASP!* For shame you say, Beauty Mama, how could you?!

Haha.

Here’s the thing. There’s about 3, 4, maybe 5 things tops in my beauty routine that I have not done away with yet.
Here’s why. My skin is finicky. It does not like very many things. So it doesn’t mean that I have just chose not to replace them with something safe, its just that for whatever reason my skin likes them and keeps them irritation and acne free.
Its a nobody wins situation.

One of those items happens to be my moisturizer. I have used Neutrogena Combination Skin lotion for a while. When I stray, my face has choice words for me, and I reluctantly go back to it.

Its with great pleasure and excitement to say my moisturizer has FINALLY met its match.

You must know that for a product to replace a previously used/loved product in my daily bag, is no small task, and it really is an honor.

To replace such item a product REALLY has to perform and deliver, and this lotion from Beauty Cosmedics did just that.

My skin is oily. It is dry. It is sensitive. It is mildy rosecea, in some areas. It is acne prone…..

In other words, its whatever it wants to be, whenever it chooses to be. Fun stuff, huh?:)

In previous experience my face didn’t respond well to any sunscreens. Chemical or Non-Chemical. I have had literally no problems with this product, and if anyone was going to have a problem with a product it would be my skin.

This Oil Free Moisture SPF 15 from Beauty Cosmedics is amazing! Theres about a million reasons why I’m lovin’ it, but I’ll start with the most important.

Without the use of parabens, fragrance, chemicals, petroleum, perfume, talc, dyes, fillers and artificial preservatives, it already stands out as an amazing moisturizer. Light and Soothing, with its UVA/UVB protection, it hydrates and protects WITHOUT clogging pores. Yipee!! It also claims to double as a primer. So to test that I have been going without primer, and it definitely serves its purpose as a primer. A lot of people can’t wear primers because they clog pores. This is a double whammy one step wonder lotion.

This is the clear. This is the lotion that I said literally stomped all over my Neutrogena…which is now,….in the trash. Yah!
It looks white but it blends in VERY easily, and leaves no white what so ever. Its spectacular. I especially LOVE that you only need a little bit, its so concentrated. Along with blending easily, it absorbs quickly and leaves your skin with a nice glow. I’ve been wearing this along with 2 other shades of it, and its been amazing. What?! 2 more shades you say? Oh yes,…..by the way…this formula also comes in tinted formula. How awesome! There are 4 shades total. I will be reviewing 3 of them.


Clear, Light, Medium, Bronze (not shown)

I love the fact that the shades are universal. Heres what I mean. I have SOOO many options.

Option #1- I can wear the clear, and no make up or wear it under my powder foundation etc.

Option #2- I can wear the light and wear bronzer, etc. This would also be my winter shade.

Option #3- I can wear the Medium, which is like almost an exact fit at the moment because I some how got a little color. I’ll call it my summer shade.

Option #4- OR I could wear the Bronze, and skip bronzer altogether. I have not tried this. But I have no doubt that if used sheerly, even I with fair skin, could use it.

FAIR

MEDIUM

COLORS

Fair, Clear, Medium

I usually find maybe 1 thing that I don’t like about a product even though I might still love it. Not with this. I love, LOVE, love it.
Theres not ONE thing, not 1 thing, that I could find that I did not like.

And because its free of EVERYTHING imaginable..thats right, no junk here.

This lotion is perfect. But its especially perfect for those of us who have skin conditions.
I highly recommend this to anyone with oily, acne prone, dry, sensitive, rosacea. Its great for ALL skin types. But those with skin conditions with especially benefit from it. Its fabulous!!
