for Moon Juice’s Acid Potion. This resurfacing exfoliator is strong and effective. I found it because I was looking for a less expensive more natural substitute for my P50 addiction. Many people have said it’s comparable if not better. I had to see for myself. The owner created the company becuase she had an auto immune disorder that she was driven to put in remission. “Moon Juice bridges the world of alchemy and biology for functional benefits.” The Acid Potion is designed to be used like a toner. It actively resurfaces skin with 5 acids and many botanicals. It is 25% AHA+BHA. It also has Niacinamide, Tocotrienols, Lactic Acid,Salicylic Acid, and adaptogenic Reishi. I definitely noticed smaller pores and fresher skin.  So get with Moon Juice, and get over ineffective products…

It is “a unique and rich assortment of essential oils, botanicals, seaweed, and vitamins nourishes and soothes skin promoting a more youthful looking complexion.” It is designed to prevent loss of moisture. Chantecaille is made in Switzerland. The moisturizer is 95% natural and has a rosewater base. So get with Chantecaille, and buy your own flowers ;)…

Refresh-2

It’s small batch when it comes to Lone Star Botanicals. They ethically source the best herbs and spices from Organic farms all over the world. I have gotten into using their face scrubs and face masks this winter, and had great results. The Refresh Hydrating Green Tea Face Scrub exfoliates, hydrates, and brightens your skin. Soothe Moisturizing Shea Butter Pumice face Scrub moisturizes and smooths skin. I rarely like scrubs, because I find them to be too harsh. These allowed for a gentle, yet effective cleaning. I like all their Masks, though the Renew Rejuvenating Herbal Clay Mask was my favorite. It gave me a brighter, more awake looking complexion. So try out Lone Star botanicals, and get big results with just a little….

It also contains vitamins, fortifying peptides, omega fatty acids, and antioxidants. Your hair is left healthy, shiny, and strong. I have also been using their Lash Masque Natural Lash Builder, Tint & Conditioner. I use it on days that I don’t wear makeup.

You can wear it alone or under mascara to boost length and thickness. So take care of your hair with Peter Lamas, and keep getting it..

well, my haircare is. I have fallen in love with with Rich Haircare. It is an award winning, professional line, that is extremely affordable. These natural based products are developed by stylists and infused with botanicals, precious oils, and restorative proteins. My favorites in the line that I have tried are the Rich Intense Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner, Oil Serum, and Shine Mist. The Shampoo and Conditioner give instant results. I felt an increase in softness after one use. The shampoo uses wheat protein and essential nutrients to rebuild hair. The Conditioner uses hydrolysed keratin protein to strengthen and repair. The Rich Silk Oil Serum absorbs quickly, and has heat and uv protectors. It uses Organic jojoba oil, sweet almond oil and olive oil lock-in moisture. Lastly, the Rich Argan De-Frizz & Shine Mist is a great finishing product. It is lightweight and can be used on dry and wet hair. So get with Rich, even if your bank account doesn’t….
