When it comes to beauty, some women like to treat themselves to a new lip gloss or mascara. Me, I like fancy skincare products. I’m drawn to the permanence & wholeness of caring for the skin you live in, versus expensive make-up products that are wiped off each night. Now, I’ll admit I am a bit of a makeup junkie and kinda obsess over fabulous eyeshadows & lip shades, but I’m especially interested in new skincare treatments. This month, I’ve got some new complete collections, supplements, and relaxing indulgences to consider incorporating into your beauty routine…

Mom-friendly skincare. When baby-proofing your home, make sure to life-proof your skin! New moms are often exhausted and overwhelmed, which can wreak havoc on your complexion – however, Vichy’s Idealia collection grants illuminated, lit-from-within results, giving you one less stress to lose sleep over.Vichy

  • Idéalia Night Cream ($35): Discover the restorative power of a good night’s sleep on the skin with an advanced night treatment that mimics skin’s key repair activity during a deep sleep.
  • Idéalia Radiance Boosting Serum ($39): Formulated with an Antioxidant Recharge Complex (citrus flavonoids + licorice root extract + energizing adenosine), this serum restores an ideal skin quality and recharges skin with a glow.
  • Idéalia Eyes ($31): A 2-in-1 anti-aging treatment and illuminator works to reduce dark circles, smooth fine lines and illuminate shadows.

Drink to your youth. Want a first-of-its-kind wellness solution that provides age-fighting benefits both internally as well as externally? Thanks to Nerium International’s new Youth Factor Complete Vitality Complex and Superfood & Antioxidant Boost, you can get age-fighting benefits for body, cells and skin!* Instead of a handful of pills and an overwhelming regimen, support overall wellness and fight the signs of aging with a duo of nutritional supplements—one a tablet, the other a powder. Youth Factor

  • Youth Factor Complete Vitality Complex is a tablet that contains both the Youth Factor Enzyme Blend and Complex NAA that help with: cellular energy support, free radical defense, strengthening the immune system, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and revealing brighter-looking skin.*
  • Youth Factor Superfood & Antioxidant Boost is a supplemental powder featuring hearty servings of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables—far more than most would be able to consume from their diets alone. It helps to balance the body’s pH levels to help maintain well-being.

Happy Spring!  Love this season of rebirth and renewal.  I like a clean home, but I’m getting more & more into clean living these days.  I really want to be the healthiest version of myself for my family.  No matter if I’m sleep-deprived or overwhelmed emotionally, if I’m feeling healthy & strong I know I can take on the day.  Here are some new products I’ve tried to do a little spring cleaning from the inside out:

CitraGreen:  As a superfood, the potential health benefits of wheatgrass are numerous, but reaping them can be hard to stomach given the supplement’s bitter-tasting notoriety. Enter the world’s first effervescent wheatgrass tablets that transform the superfood into a convenient, palatable superdrink.  CitraGreen wheatgrass supplement reviewThe benefits of this mighty little wheatgrass supplement include:

  • 20 essential nutrients
  • Antioxidant cell protection
  • Immune support
  • B Vitamins for energy
  • Electrolytes for recovery
  • Suitable for vegans and gluten-free
  • No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives
  • Re-hydration and recovery both during and post-exercise

In addition, CitraGreen is ultra-easy to use. Simply drop one tablet into a cup (eight ounces) of water, wait one minute and voila. Gritless and mess-free, just literally add water and enjoy.  It’s easy as that & ready to go, with no mixing or stirring required and has a nice natural lemon flavor.

Epsoak:  Any other mamas love a good long bath???  These days, that time to myself enjoying a good soak is basically equalivent to a spa day.  I’ve found that Epsoak Epsom Salt from San Francisco Salt Company offers the best quality epsom salt at the best value. Epsoak epsom salt for bath review

They even make varieties that include essential oils like lavender and eucalyptus!  Epsom salts help soothe muscle pain, cleanse pores, and detoxify the skin and contain Magnesium and Sulfur, which helps:

  • Ease stress and improve sleep and concentration
  • Muscles and nerves function properly
  • Regulate activity of 325+ enzymes
  • Reduce inflammation to relieve pain and muscle cramps
  • Improve oxygen use
  • Flush toxins
  • Improve absorption of nutrients
  • Form joint proteins, brain tissue and mucin proteins

Woolite Darks:  And finally, a new product to keep my clothes clean without the worry of fading, shrinking or stretching!  Apparently this Woolite formula has an active ingredient that is especially excellent at preventing color fade and transfer.  Plus, the company recently paired with Dress for Success to create the #ShareConfidence campaign, encouraging women to be confident and pay it forward — check out the heartwarming video here.Woolite darks

Sharing some late-summer beauty finds!

  1.  Japonesque:Japonesque Pro Performance Lipstick, Color Correcting Crayon, and Radiance PrimerI was recently sent a sampling of Japonesque’s latest products, including the Pro Performance Lipstick, Radiance Primer and Color Correcting Crayon (my favorite!)  I’ve tried drugstore-brand color-correcting concealers before & of course they’ve never worked so I figured that type of cover-up wasn’t for me.  As in, when it comes to covering my spots, I’ve never looked at color correcting concealers twice.  Even after splurging on the pricey but effective Cle de Peau Concealer, I am still frustrated when my super dark red spots aren’t concealed.  After using the Japonesque Color Correcting Crayon with success, I’ve discovered my problem was that I was trying to cover the pigmentation when I should’ve been trying to correct it.  Using their pale green stick after foundation but before concealer has really been so surprisingly effective!  I chalk it up to the precision of the crayon tip and the exceptional product formulation.  Thank you Japonesque for re-introducing me to the art of color correction!

2.  Purifying line from derma e:Purifying Oil-free moisturizer by derma e

This is my new favorite moisturizer, no joke.  The idea behind it is that it’s a silky, lightweight, rehydrating formula that detoxifies skin, replenishes nutrients and defends against micropollutants.  Now, its black color was surprising & caused me to wonder if it would show up dark on the skin, but not in the slightest.  That hue comes from the Activated Charcoal & Marine Algae and both are deeply detoxifying!  Plus, the lightweight formula absorbs quite quickly — a plus for me because I have no patience these days for the lengthy application of products…it’s basically gotta be one swipe & go.  In the past I’ve had problems with lesser quality moisturizers just sitting on top of the skin, clogging pores & looking all greasy.  This formula doesn’t feel heavy on my face at all or look the least bit shiny once applied — PERFECT for my oily skin this summer!

3.  SeabuckWonders Ultimate Hair, Skin & Nails supplement:Seabuck Wonders Ultimate Hair, Skin & Nails supplementAfter being kinda shocked by postpartum hair shedding (which I found out is totally normal), it’s time for this little mama to begin thinking about a quality Biotin supplement.  As hormones balance back out to prepregnancy levels, I’ve been searching for ways to support the health of my hair, skin & nails.  Apparently, this new formula from SeaBuck Wonders is the only one on the market to combine Biotin with rare Omega-7.  The Omega-7 comes from Sea Buckthorn (a super fruit from the Tibetan Himalayas) which helps promote skin hydration, elasticity and regeneration.  I mean, I’ll never regain that amazing pregnancy glow but I suppose every little bit helps.  😉
