I Won With Whitney Pampering Products for The Fall

Autumn is time for renewal and rejuvenation and thanks to my “lil sis” and fellow blogger, Whitney Nic James, I am ready to shed my summer skin and rejuvenate my face. 

I was the lucky winner of her “11 Ways to Pamper Yourself At Home + A Giveaway” and received a 19.40 oz jar of Coconut Oil Exfoliating Salt Scrub.  It smells wonderful and after using it in the shower it left my skin feeling soft and refreshed.  It also helped with the dryness on my legs and arms after a recent bout with poison oak.

Not only did I win the the Coconut Oil Exfoliating Salt Scrub but she also included a few other goodies!  The box I received contained several other pampering products all wrapped in silver tissue paper along with a lovely embellished Thank You card.

L'Oreal Age Perfect Cell Renewal

 

Hello friends, it has been two months since I started this review and I can honestly say that I love the results and will continue using L’Oreal Paris New Age Perfect Cell Renewal.   In this short video you will see my daily morning (before makeup) regiment using both the cream and serum.  Each are light enough so that they don’t clog my pores nor make my face feel weighed down.

Please note that I used the cream first however, it is recommended that you begin with the serum followed by the cream … habits are hard to break once you start.

If you haven’t had an opportunity to try L’Oreal Paris New Age Perfect Cell Renewal yet, may I suggest you give it a try because I’m sure it will look good on you too!

Hello friends, it has been almost a month since I started using the L’Oreal Paris New Age Perfect Cell Renewal, and I wanted to show you the results.  Using the regiment that I wrote about in this post my face seems to be a bit more vibrant, but I’ll let you be the judge.  

I also created a video so you can see how I have been using the products, check it out below.

Mirror Mirror on the wall…what do you see when you look inside? I see me at age 53, with a few ‘wisdom wrinkles’ and ‘worry lines’ but I also see a smile, which lets me know I like what I see.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Ladies, as we age, skin cell renewal decreases and sometimes this will cause the skin on our faces to start looking dull and dry. 

Fortunately, I don’t see any of these noticeable conditions however, that doesn’t mean I can neglect my skin especially when it comes to using a good moisturizer on my face.

L'Oreal Age Perfect Cell Renewal

L’Oreal Paris recently introduced Age Perfect Cell Renewal moisturizers which I have been given an opportunity to try. 

My daily regiment begins in the morning after rinsing my face with warm water and towel drying.  I put a little of  the Day Cream on my finger tips and in an upward motion apply it to my neck and face. 

The Age Perfect Cell Renewal Day Cream contains a Broad Spectrum SPF15 Sunscreen which we need even after the harsh summer sun rays have diminished. 

The Day Cream moisturizer stimulates the surface skin, replump, refreshes and renews the cells.

Next I pump a small dot of the Golden Serum Treatment onto the back of my hand, also using my finger tips to rub it in an upward motion onto my face.  This serum is so silky smooth and it makes my face feel the same.  The Golden Serum is non greasy so I can put on my makeup immediately after using.

  L'Oreal Age Perfect Cell Renewal

In the evening before going to bed, I remove all of my makeup with a towelette, rinse my face with warm water and towel dry.  The Age Perfect Cell Renewal Night Cream is a rich, creamy moisturizer which is great for cell renewal because our skin absorbs it while we sleep. 

There has been no irritation or redness from using these products and I love the way my face looks and feels.  I will come back in two weeks with a video so you can see some actual results.  mirror mirror on the wall

100% Natural Konjac Facial Sponge

Hello friends,

 

as you know, I am always on the look out for beauty products that are not only made of natural ingredients but are also non-irritating to my skin.  I remember using puffs and scrubbers when I was younger, but now I tend to shy away from them because they can be too harsh for my face.  

I recently ordered this pureSOL 100% Natural Konjac Facial Sponge from Amazon and my first impression was one of concern because it was very hard.  However, after soaking it for a few minutes in the sink it became fully soft.

Soaked in the sink for a few minutes turned this hard sponge into a very soft one.

softened in water

pureSOL Konjac Facial Sponge is 100% natural and eco-friendly, free of parabens, sulphates & chemicals, is biodegradable, cruelty free and vegan.

I only needed to use a small amount of my favorite facial cleanser and along with the pureSOL sponge it cleaned my face gently with no irritation.

add your favorite cleanser

The pureSOL Konjac Facial Sponge gently exfoliates while deep cleansing and removing any toxins and impurities, leaving a radiant complexion. It is extremely soft and gentle for everyday skin care. Great for all skin types.  

The natural woven fibers of the sponge gently massage the skin and stimulate blood flow. It detoxifies and encourages skin renewal while balancing the skins pH, leaving your skin extremely clean and refreshed! 

The added BAMBOO CHARCOAL contains activated carbon and essential minerals to deeply cleanse and absorb excess sebum, toxins and other harmful chemicals from your skin.

hang to dry

 

pureSOL Konjac Facial Sponge comes with an EASY-TO- HANG SUCTION HOOK, perfect for hanging in a well-ventilated space so it’s dry and ready for you to use the following day. It is recommended that you replace the sponge every 2-3 months and because it’s biodegradable, just throw it into your plants or garden soil.  

You can order your own pureSOL Konjac Facial Sponge today from Amazon.com and it will ship to arrive quickly to your home or place of business.

Grandma’s Hands Pure Shea Butter


Hello friends,  I hope you are having a terrific day.  

Last week after watching those family videos I started thinking more about my grandmother.  I remember her looking at her hands and saying, “wow, my hands look so old“. When she’d say that, I would hold both of her hands in mine, give them each a kiss and say, “Mama, your hands are so beautiful”.  

Keeping her hands smooth and wrinkle free was always a major concern of hers and now it has become one of mine.  When I look at my hands I too see signs of aging, and although that isn’t a bad thing I do know how she felt.  

Shea Butter Review

Cleopatra’s Choice 100% Pure African Shea Butter is a great treatment for minor burns, eczema, dark spots, discoloration, blemishes and dry skin which can make you look older.   Pregnant women and new mother’s can also use pure Shea Butter to treat stretch marks. Cleopatra’s Choice is a fair trade product produced by women subsistence farmers in Ghana, Africa.

Shea Butter Review

Because Shea Butter is good for preventing wrinkles and keeping your skin moisturized, I keep this container on the nightstand as a reminder to use on both my hands and feet before going to bed.

Shea Butter on the nightstand

 

There is no overpowering scent to this long lasting, deep absorbing Shea Butter and it will not clog my pores or leave my skin feeling greasy.  This winter I’ll probably use it on my elbows and knees before leaving the house in the mornings.  

Cleopatra’s Choice 100% Pure African Shea Butter can be ordered from Amazon.com and it will be quickly shipped so that you can have it before the end of sandal season.
