    The Secret to Radiant Skin: Algae!

    The changing seasons can do a number on your skin. The solution? Cyantific Skin Care. Many have been turning to this amazing skin care line for its gentle, yet powerful ingredients. With the power of unique algae, these products protect, hydrate and nourish… leaving your skin looking and feeling vibrant!

    The changing seasons can take a toll on your skin. Boost your beauty routine with blue-green algae to give you a healthy, glowing complexion! The blue-green algae used by Cyantific contain compounds that absorb skin-damaging UV light better than anything else known to exist in nature.

    Cyantific Skin Care harnesses the power of blue-green algae to create its proprietary PhycoBoost™ formula, a targeted blue-green algae extract that contains amino acids, moisture-retaining carbohydrates and powerful antioxidants. Other gentle, yet powerful ingredients derived from nature are added to nourish, protect and hydrate your skin, making it look better today and protecting it for a better tomorrow.

     

    Cyantific’s Powerful Line-Up:

    Protecting Daily Lotion: SPF 30+ lotion protects against aging UVA and damaging UVB rays. Niacinamide and murumuru palm reduce inflammation, fight off free radicals and soothe and moisturize for clearer, more radiant, and noticeably younger skin.

    Nourishing Daily Serum: Ginger root extract, niacinamide and PhycoBoost™ join together in this oil-free serum to tone, tighten and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

    Hydrating Night Cream: Smooth on this luxurious night cream before bed and you’ll awaken to radiant, more youthful looking skin. PhycoBoost™ combined with crambe abyssinica seed oil hydrate and pamper your complexion while you sleep.

    Complete Anti-Aging Package: This complete set gives you the benefits of all three powerhouse products to nourish, protect and hydrate your skin.

    Cyantific Skin Care isn’t just good for your skin, it’s good for the planet. Unlike most algae ingredients, PhycoBoos™ is made through an environmentally-friendly process without solvents or other harmful chemicals and our products are never tested on animals. Blue-green algae, the core of Cyantific’s products, are sustainably collected from the beautiful lakes of the Pacific Northwest. It’s time to give your skin serious sun protection, while making you look and feel remarkable.

    I recommend the Complete Anti-Aging Package.

    It could be a great skincare set for treating yourself

    and also could be a perfect gift for your mom, sister, besties….

    The set includes:

    Hydrating Night Cream

    This luxurious night cream not only delivers immediate moisture, but also it contains PhycoBoost™, an all-natural extract of blue-green algae with unique amino acids, moisture-retaining carbohydrates, powerful antioxidants, and the ability to protect DNA from damage. Infused with crambe abyssinica seed oil to reduce dehydration while you sleep, allowing you to awaken with a radiant and more youthful complexion. Use with Nourishing Daily Serum for maximum results.

    Nourishing Daily Serum

    This oil-free serum immediately tones and tightens skin, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Our unique formula contains PhycoBoost™, an all-natural extract of blue-green algae with rare amino acids, moisture-retaining carbohydrates, powerful antioxidants, and the ability to protect DNA from damage. Also infused with ginger root extract and niacinamide, making it the perfect solution to boost the natural immunity of your skin. Use before applying Cyantific’s™ Protecting Daily Lotion SPF 30+ and Hydrating Night Cream.

    Protecting Daily Lotion

    This 30+ SPF lotion protects against aging UVA and damaging UVB rays with PhycoBoost™, an all-natural extract of blue-green algae which protects DNA from damage. Filled with anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidizing, and moisturizing ingredients, niacinamide and murumuru palm, this lotion will leave skin looking clearer, more radiant, and noticeably younger with daily use. Apply after Nourishing Daily Serum.

    About Cyantific Skin Care:

    Co-Founder & Microbiologist, Stephanie A. Smith, Ph.D., spent much of her career studying algae and admits she discovered the potential skin benefits of blue-green algae almost by accident. She parlayed her findings into Cyantific Skin Care to make the kind of products she’d want to use herself. Smith says her skin care line has made a difference in the look, feel and overall health of her own skin. She’s thrilled to know other people are enjoying the benefits as well.

    Being a frequent shopper at Sephora, I couldn’t help but notice their newest addition to the shelves – BITE Beauty.

    BITE Beauty is an alluring collection of lip products featuring the super antioxidant “Resveratrol” and superior color. Ranging from nude to plum, their highly pigmented, long-lasting shades were designed by industry-leading makeup artists for today’s modern woman. In addition to featuring beauty’s most sought-after antioxidant, the pro-performance formulas’ all-natural ingredient list includes organic shea butter, superfoods, and food-grade colors, making them truly good enough to eat. It’s beauty that’s better for you.

    I bought a Limited Edition set of mini BITE lipstick colors at Sephora Online for just 25$ (gotta love the holidays)! The set came with FIVE shades in Shiraz (soft plum), Fig (nude rose), Pepper (dusty rose), Bouquet (soft pink), and Champagne (pearly nude). They’re the pre-packaged colors for everyday, but the whole BITE collection comes with an array of shades from nudes to brights that the set doesn’t include. I think their great and they feel great on.

    The perfect lip color is hard to find, but Bite Beauty’s long wear and smooth finish makes every pick a no-brainer.

    All Natural, Age-defying, and Good enough to eat, Bite Beauty products include:

    Luminous Crème Lipstick ($24 USD I $28 CAD) — The exceptionally smooth lipstick in a pallette of 21 alluring shades made from creamy organic fruit butters and antioxidant-rich Resveratrol to fight free radicals and help reduce the appearance of fine lines.

    High Pigment Pencil ($24 USD I $28 CAD) — Micronized pigments provide ultra-concentrated colour with the added benefit of antioxidant-rich Resveratrol to help reduce wrinkles around lips and fight free radicals.

    Lip Rouge ($22 USD I $25 CAD) — Buildable layers of colour in 6 shades with a rich, satin texture infused with jojoba and Liposome Complex to plump and condition lips.

    Lip Shine ($20 USD I $23 CAD) — Multi-use butter for lips, cuticles – anywhere skin could benefit from a super boost of antioxidants derived from superfruits such as acai, bluberry, cranberry and pomegranate for intense conditioning.

    SPF 15 Sheer Balm ($19 USD I $22 CAD) — An extremely wearable, semi-sheer lip color with buildable coverage – can be used as a base or simply on its own. Add luster and volume while protecting your pout with SPF 15. A soothing formula of delicious organic mint and blood orange essential oils refresh and cool skin delivering an intense moisture and high dose of Resveratrol to tone and replenish around the lip area.

    Vitamin Gel ($18 USD I $21 CAD) — Lick-worthy lip gel that combines the benefits of micronized multivitamins with healthy organic fruit juices to give a sheer and gentle shine to lips. Mood-enhancing essential oils and a high dose of Vitamin C provide a natural pick-me-up to this delicious treatment.

    Superfruit Butter ($18 USD I $21 CAD)

    Lipstick Trio ($24 USD I $41 CAD)

    Vitamin Gel Trio ($28 USD I $32 CAD)

    Line & Define Trio ($36 USD I $41 CAD)

    You can find all these Bite Beauty products at Sephora Online or at select stores
