    Sweeter Juice Skin East Meets West African Shea Butter Set

    Neem oil has benefits for skin care and moisture. Oil has numerous benefits for skin care and moisture. It helps to hydrate the skin, lock in moisture, and prevent dryness. Additionally, certain oils contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation and improve overall skin health. I have used so many different kinds of moisturizers over the years and have developed a preference for fast absorption without too heavy a scent. I don’t like products that conflict with my perfume, deodorant, or shampoo. When I first discovered Sweeter Juice Skin, I was excited to try it. My experience with neem oil was its very strong scent, and I was wondering if this would be the same. But the shea butter and neem dream cream changed my opinion about neem all together. Not only did it have a pleasant scent, but it also left my skin feeling soft and moisturized. I highly recommend giving Sweeter Juice Skin products a try if you’re looking for natural and effective skincare solutions.

     

    My son also loves this! The pool season has just begun, and I always use this to prevent him from looking dry and ashy. When his skin feels dry, it gets itchy, and he will want me to grab this. The texture is silky and fast absorbing.  The lid on the jar makes it easy to spot in the bathroom. The formulation is great, making it easy to apply on the go. It’s also great for sensitive skin and doesn’t leave any greasy residue. Overall, this product has been a lifesaver for our family during the summer months. Similar to a cream I had a long time ago and forgot the name of. I just knew it came in a big purple tub. I am almost at the end of my 4 oz. jar, so I will be repurposing and keeping this in my skincare rotation. The lightweight texture of the moisturizer makes it perfect for daily use, and it doesn’t leave any greasy residue on the skin. Additionally, the formula is enriched with antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental stressors.  I am sure that mixed kids all over the world need more moisture for their skin, and my kid loves this one!

    @Clayspray for Your Winter Skincare Routine

    I’d love believe that with over half of February behind us, Old Man Winter is making his retreat… but these weekly (and sometimes twice weekly) snowstorms and cold weather tell a different story. So until I can start thinking about packing away the the heavy coat and switching to something light and springy, my winter skincare routine is in full effect.

    Here are my top 5 winter skincare quick tips:

    1. Go easy on the heat.
      Hot water dries out your skin, so suds up with lukewarm water instead.
    2. Time the moisturizer.
      Apply moisturizer immediately after washing your face while it’s still damp; it will absorb moisture better.
    3. Don’t ditch the sunscreen.
      There are less hours of sunlight each day, but winter sun combined with snow glare can still damage skin.
    4. Switch to a heavier moisturizer.
      The same light moisturizer that gets you through the summer might not cut it in the winter. Switch to a heavier cream to combat winter dryness.
    5. Let your skin glow.
      Shed that layer of dull, dead skin by using an exfoliating mask to smooth and add a natural glow.

    Keeping those tips in  mind, I recently tried out Clayspray, a clay mask in a spray. The Clayspray line consists of five different masks, each addressing a specific skin care concern: Pore Refining, Skin Brightening, Glow, Toning and Mattifying.

    clayspray

    I considered the different options and decided on Glow because wheres my skin is oily in the summer, it tends to be dry during the winter.

    Clayspray

    It comes out like a gel shaving cream. I like that I didn’t have to fumble with a tube–it’s very convenient to apply.

    After I sat with the mask on for a few minutes while it dried, I was able to easily rinse it off — and the results? My skin felt softer, refreshed and had a noticeable glow. Most clay masks have a drying effect because they work to draw out impurities and environmental toxins from deep within your pores. But Clayspray also deposits moisture and nutrients to your skin, which makes it different from regular clay masks. It’s awesome because that means I don’t have to follow up my clay mask with a moisturizing mask like I normally do in the winter.

    The clay is sourced from the Irene Mine in Spain’s Iberian Peninsula where it has been protected from pollution and contamination for thousands of years.

    Dry Skin Rescue @SebamedUSA

    Winter dry skin is the worst!  The scaly snake skin legs occur when I am too lazy to lotion after a shower and it freaks me out!  If you need a great lotion, try Sebamed Anti-Dry Hydration Lotion to save your skin this winter.  I remember the logo of Sebamed from my childhood and you know how much I love Retro!  So here is a cool throwback beauty secret you may have forgotten. Sebamed is a German skincare company established by Heinz Maurer in 1957.

     

    Snow Ready

    Phytosteroles, shea butter and other plant-derived lipids as well as a moisturizing complex with polysaccharides extracted from potato starch care for, smooth and soothe the skin.

    The lotion is absorbed quickly and completely, leaving no trace of stickiness. The pH value of 5.5 protects the skin’s natural protective acid mantle against dehydration and irritants. In a three-week dermatological test, the care lotion improved the moisture content of dry skin by 26% even 10 hours after the last application and despite interim washing.

    Keeping warm and using Sebamed since ’84.

    For all day hydration and a brand that I remembered using all my life – Try Sebamed!
