My thoughts:  This is absolutely heavenly. What a delightful product to luxuriate in as we usher out the waning days of Summer and step into the briskness that is brought to us by vibrant Autumn.

As a lover of things spicy and things pumpkin, I can tell you that this is a product you don't want to miss out on. Crafted lovingly here in the USA in small batches with natural and organic ingredients, the delicate spices will let you breath in an aroma that invigorates and yet relaxes you. 

Ella Freda Organics Facial Moisturizer [Review & Giveaway]

My thoughts: Ella Freda Organics Facial Moisturizer was surprisingly effective for a product in this price range. It has been said that Retinol is a standard go-to product for results in the care of your skin and to slow the signs of aging we all disdain. No one wants dry, wrinkled skin. We don't want tiny wrinkles and we most definitely don't want those deep wrinkles.

This new product from Ella Freda Organics is a Facial Moisturizer. It has a texture somewhat between serum and cream in density. I apply a moderate amount to my entire face (avoiding close to eyes), chin, neck, and ear lobes and behind ears (neglected area). It goes on smoothly and I use smoothing upward strokes that rotate massaging the tension away and the moisturizer into the skin. My hands have a slight "tacky" feeling to them as does the face, but it soon dissipates. 

After moisturizing my skin, I cream around my eyes (using whatever current product I have) and occasionally use a nice skin oil to further moisturize. After caring for my skin, I apply my makeup for the day whether it is a stay-at-home day with little or no color added or a one of my full-out makeup days. Beauty products work well with the Ella Freda Organics Facial Moisturizer.

Anti aging skin care is a multi step process. Genetics plays a part in how our skin ages and we can't control that. Stress and living in a highly emotional state is highly detrimental. You need to protect your face from sun damage while still getting sun to maximize your Vitamin D - balance is key. Also, a healthy diet is good. I prefer a pretty well rounded diet that provides the nutrients we need without the extra calories and harmful foods and additives. Then finally, one needs to protect the skin from the elements and environmental pollutants by using a good moisturizer. Use the best you can afford looking for those with preventative and anti-aging ingredients. 

As with the Ella Freda Retinol Moisturizer Cream used in the evenings, this Facial Moisturizer used in the evenings prior to bedtime, has my facial skin looking amazingly good with the wrinkles surprisingly diminished and the "sleep wrinkles" pretty nonexistent. The product has a caution warning about getting it too close to one's eyes, but of course I don't use it real close to the eyes - that's a definite no-no for me because I have very sensitive eyes. But I  apply it liberally all over my face and chin and then a bit on the ear lobes and just under the ears. Using this Facial Moisturizer in the morning and evening works very nicely.I can only imagine what regular, long-term use could do. (Find on Amazon)

So step one is to protect your face from sun damage. The next is to protect the skin from the elements by using a good moisturizer. And then there is the preventative and rescue step of using anti-aging products. This Ella Freda Organic Anti-Aging Retinol Cream is good.

I have noticed that after I apply the Retinol Cream prior to bedtime, I see that in the morning my skin looks amazingly good. Of course I don't use it real close to the eyes - that's a definite no-no for me because I have very sensitive eyes. But I  apply it liberally all over my face and chin and then a bit on the ear lobes and just under the ears. I can only imagine what regular, long-term use could do.

GLYCOLIC ACID 10% CREAM - CELL RENEWAL from Life Essentials [Review & Giveaway]

My thoughts:  I recently tried the Life Essentials Skin Care Eye Cream and reviewed it. I found it to be lovely, excellent quality. Here is a link to my short Instagram review and feature. CLICK HERE I recommend.

When given the opportunity to explore the Glycolic Acid Cream, I thought perhaps this, too, would be a lovely product. I was not disappointed.

There is a warning that the glycolic acid cream could make the skin more sensitive to the sun. I am finding this in a plethora of products on today's market. So as a precaution, I use it once daily at bedtime. I tend to rotate through the products I have on hand, so by doing this I don't get too much sensitivity taking place. Personally, my makeup foundation has some sun screen in it which is protective.

The cream is white, and goes on with a non-greasy feel and sort of a white film. I gently rotate my fingers all over my face while applying using a nice massage to the skin method. This eases the cream into the skin's pores creating a nice layer to work while I'm sleeping. I also apply the cream under my chin, down my neck, and onto my chest. I found that the following morning my skin feels soft and cared for. Lovely.

An elderly lady with absolutely no wrinkles once told my mother.....

Every night cleanse your face and CREAM it. Use whatever product you can afford..... CREAM IT! 

So this Life Essenials Skin Care Glyolic Acid 10% Cream is a good product with which to cream your face nightly and the glycolic acid is said to help with the process of cell renewal.

A good source of information about skin care and products, or rather ingredients in the products, can be found at the Skin Cancer website - CLICK HERE. Specifically note.... "Today, vitamins are incorporated into many topical anti-aging products. ... Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs, which also increase sun sensitivity) are another important topical anti-aging ingredient. Glycolic acid is the most beneficial, since it enhances dead skin shedding and helps correct skin discoloration."

About the product (from Life Essentials website): Our deep penetrating fruit based Alpha Hydroxy cream will soften skin as old layers are sloughed away and new ones are brought to the surface; use for younger and smoother skin. May make skin more sensitive to the sun. Find it - click here

Ingredients: Deionized Water // Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol // Cetyl Alcohol, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate // Glycerin (Kosher, Vegetable), Glyceryl Stearate // Glycolic Acid, Organic Aloe Juice // Stearyl Alcohol, Squalane (Olive Oil Based) // Vitamin E, Ubiquinone (CoQ10) // Vitamin C, Lemon Extract // Organic Green Tea Leaf Extract , Apple Extract // Sugar Cane Extract , Orange Peel Extract // Cetearyl Glucoside, , Xanthan Gum // Lactobacillus-Lemon Peel Ferment Extract, Caprylyl Glycol // Cocos Nucifera Fruit Extract, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters // Lysolecithin, Phenylpropanol // Propanediol, Pullulan // Sclerotium Gum, Sodium Hydroxide // Sodium Phytate

BABY ORGANIC SHAMPOO & BODY WASH COCONUT

My thoughts:  I know when my babies were tiny we used the best soap that we could find in the stores that was gentle . That was a long time ago. There are many products on the market today. This Nature's Paradise organic baby shampoo and body wash with coconut is fascinating and just chock full of simple organic ingredients derived from nature itself. I am quite impressed with this.

BABY OIL COCONUT

My thoughts:  Many folks use baby oil regularly on their wee ones. Mine couldn't tolerate the baby oil that was then available. Again, that was a long time ago. Using a baby oil that is plant based and made from organically derived oils can certainly be good for the skin. So if your baby needs oil for his or her skin, this product seems to be exceptional!

Voibella Neck and Chest Firming Cream (awarded “#1 New Release” on Amazon in the “Neck & Décolleté Moisturizers”)

How many types of lotions and creams have you rubbed into the skin of your neck and chest hoping to keep it soft and lovely?

Before you drape your lovely pearls around your throat, be sure your throat is lovely!

If you're like me, you've used hand lotions (cheap and expensive), face creams, face lotions, face serums, hand creams, body lotions, body butters, body balms. Well, they all can help. You know just about anything helps. But not all of it feels good on the skin or helps as much as you'd like.

Why do skin care companies create specific products for specific parts of your body? It's simple. The skin, while made up of cells pretty much the same all over your body (and this information is from me, a non-authority on things biology or medical), the skin on various parts of your body acts dfferently and it roughens, sags, ages differently. Since they are exposed to various types of environmental and life-activities causing them to roughen up or age differently, it just seems plain ordinary common sense to use products made of different ingredients, composed in a variety of different methods, and with varying consistencies.

Hence, the need for a product specifically for that thin skin under your chin, on your neck, and on your chest. It is NEVER to early to start taking care of this thin skin.

The cream is light and absorbs into the skin nicely. I don't feel like it will transfer to my clothing since it absorbs so nicely and doesn't have a greasy feel. This is one of those products you can use more than once a day. The more frequently you moisturize your skin, the softer and yet tighter it should be.

I highly recommend this as a product you want in your home, with you on your travels, and perhaps tucked away at the office for a quick freshen-up moment.

The scents of the season: Pumpkin Spice from Good Earth Beauty all natural products

When September rolls around we begin to think "Fall"! Yet, we still feel "Summer"! We're tired of hot and sweaty and ready for a change. We want to see the leaves change from green to an array of beautiful reds, yellows, and oranges - or yes, the browns, too! So we hope to edge out the summer and usher in the Fall and our world explodes with.....

PUMPKIN - Can you feel the nostalgia engulfing you as you shop?

Yep, pumpkin everything... or just about everything.

And what makes it extra special are the fragrant and energizing spices that accompany all things "pumpkin."

The folks at Good Earth Beauty have crafted some fabulous pumpkin and fall products that simply have me drooling in anticipation for a piece for pumpkin pie or a cup of spiced chai (chai is the word for tea in many languages). And I love their beauty products that are infused with essential oils and spices and the pumpkin sense of goodness.

My most-favorite is their Pumpkin Chai Shampoo and the accompanying Pumpkin Chai Conditioner. It has been a favorite for over a year and has a special place in my bath where it sits ready to be used on a regular basis. My hair washing moments when my senses are bathed in the fragrance that is unique to this shampoo and my hair is lathered are simply delightful. The end result is fabulous as well with my hair manageable and looking its best! I highly recommend.

And now we are going to explore more delightful Good Earth Beauty seasonal pumpkin spice goodies

In your bath you can luxuriate with the sensual smoothness that is the Pumpkin Chai bar soap. The good folks at GoodEarthBeauty.com have taken our love of pumpkin spice a step further and used these wonderful spices and essential oils to produce soaps, fragrances (the kind you wear yourself), shampoos, body washes, etc. and it is WONDERFUL! 

But pumpkin spice isn't just for September and October, we have November, December, January. All are wonderful times to enjoy these fragrances that tweak the sensory heart bringing memories and feelings of warmth, happiness, and love to our beings.

I showered with the soap and it feels so good. Looking at it one would think "old fashioned lye soap" that is harsh as this soap is not "prettied up" and is just simple and plain. But it absolutely is NOT harsh. It lathers beautifully and my skin feels soft and clean. I'm quite impressed! 

And the Pumpkin Pie Shower Wash is fabulous. So you have your choice of delectable bar soap or liquid bath wash for your fragrant bath time. Scrumptious and foamy natural body wash moisturizes and softens, while nourishing even the most sensitive of skin types. Infused with organic milk and nourishing honey, it cleanses and refreshes while being gentle enough to use every day.  Free of:  parabens, pesticides, petroleum, propylene glycol, phthalates, sulfates, artificial colors Click here to find it

Pumpkin Pie Lip Balm: When your lips need a bit of help for softening them there is the option of this refreshing and moisturizing lip application. Ingredients: Meadowfoam oil, olive oil, avocado butter, candellia wax, vitamin E, natural flavor oil.

They have a lovely Good Earth Beauty Box especially packed with Autumn goodies. Click here to find it. It is $22.00 and there is NO SHIPPING COST.

DISCLOSURE: I received samples of the products featured in the pumpkin spice line from Good Earth Beauty to facilitate this review and recommendation. I only recommend products that I use or my family has used successfully.

Gracieux Beauty 20% Vitamin C Facial Serum [#sponsored review]

Nicely packaged in pump bottle that preserves freshness and prevents cross contamination

My thoughts: The use and application of Gracieux Beauty 20% Vitamin C Facial Serum is much like that of other serums on the market. It is a clear liquid that is housed in a nice pump bottle. Only a small amount is needed to cover face, neck, and chest. I apply a bit more than most folks (I think), because I think the extra helps my skin as I gently but deeply massaging it into the skin. This serum has no discernible scent to me which is nice. It dries readily after application which is nice because you don't have to wait to apply moisturizer and makeup.

Hard to see in picture, but serum is clear and only a small amount is needed.

To me a serum is a base application in skin care and provides nutrients and hydration and then a bit of sealing in of the hydration. My pores appear smaller, the skin has a nice healthy and youthful glow, and other products go nicely atop the dried serum.

Back of box lists ingredients.
They are all #natural and #organic

I have used Gracieux Beauty 20% Vitamin C Serum twice daily for a week. I have not noticed any adverse effect to my skin. I have seen positive results. Long term use can most likely provide protection against the visible affect of aging that come with the normal aging process. There is no magic potion that stops the aging process of one's skin. There is a way to help slow the signs of aging and that is to protect your skin from sun and wind, hydrate your body and your skin, lubricate your skin with moisturizers, and nurture your skin with products like this Vitamin C serum.

I can hardily recommend it.

HUG YOUR SKIN "Indulgence Collection" of Facial Care Products [Review & Giveaway] #natural #organic

Let's talk about beautiful skin

All of us could list a few basic "must do" beauty ideas, procedures, avoidances, and do-this concepts with which we are constantly being encourage to incorporate into our daily lives. We are told to stay out of the sun. Stay out of adverse weather. Stay healthy. Wash with soap. Don't wash with soap. Cream your skin. Exfoilate your skin. Use this lotion. Use this cream. Pat it on. Rub it on. Spritz it on. 

You get the idea. But I believe that in all of this resounding advice the main mantra is simply to take care of your skin.

Why? It is simply, well cared for skin is lovely. Well cared for skin actually feels good! And since the skin over your entire body is the largest organ in your system, it is only rational to acknowledge that well cared for skin is a healthy protective layer of defense for your entire body. 

While we're talking defense of the skin and hence defense of the body, let's just simply address the fact that harsh chemicals are unnatural and actually harmful. So it is only rational for one to pursue products that are prepared using natural ingredients and methodology that protects our skin and aso the our entire world. (read InLight Beauty's recent info-blog about using oils - click here 

Hug Your Skin As Nature Intended with InLight Beauty products

My thoughts: This is a unique collection of face skin products and I have just begun to use the samples sent to me by "Hug Your Skin." I am finding that it takes just a tiny, tiny bit and the basic  concept of the products is the utilization of nourishing oils to cleanse and soften the skin and thus aid in slowing of the aging process.

The Face Cleanser works beautifully to cleanse. Frankly, I was amazed.  I followed this with the Floral Face Tonic which is a clear, watery liquid. My sample was small so I didn't use a cotton ball saturated with the tonic. I simply dabbed my fingertip with the product about four times and this gave me enough tonic to rub all over my face. With a larger bottle, I would recommend using a cotton pad or cotton ball to avoid skin-to-product contamination. This seems to work as a toner and is quite refreshing.

I used the Daily Face Oil in a tiny amount applied to my face just prior to moisturizing. I allow it to set a few moments. Using a face oil in addition to moisturizer enriches the skin and really provides a healthy glow to the skin. You don't end up with an "oily looking face," though.

After the oil application, I applied either my makeup foundation (a liquid) or I used a pressed powder. I finished applying the amount of makeup I wanted for that particular day. The oil seems to help my skin have a lovely glow which is so nice. And I know that using oil on the face aids in slowing the skin's aging process.

Fragrance: There is a natural, and I think, beguiling scent to each of these products resuting from the maceration of the plant products in the oil during the infusion process. The scent is delicate and very pleasant. You experience this upon application and it dissapates quite quickly. I totally love these scents.

Do be aware, this is not your run-of-the-mill drug store or department store product. This is a quality, "hand made" in small batches product that is organic and all natural. The prices are higher than some woud anticipate, but they are well-earned prices befitting a quality product.
