Skinbetter’s AlphaRet Clearing Serum is a retinoid based serum that doesn’t mess around. It is designed for oilier, blemish prone skin.

I love every product from this line, and this product does not disappoint. It is designed to boost the effects of your skincare while resurfacing and hydrating the skin. 


Australian Gold’s Plant Based Lotion & Sunscreen with SPF 50 is my favorite new sunblock. It smells amazing. It is part of their new Plant Based line, and formulated with Aloe Vera and Coconut Oil. 


Givenchy’s Le Rouge Universal Hydrating Lip Balm is my go to balm for under my lipstick or gloss. It’s a clear moisturizing balm that is designed to hydrate up to 24hrs. It has hyaluronic acid and jojoba seed extract to soothe and nourish lips all day. 

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…

you need better skincare. I have been loving Truth Treatment Systems Retinol Spot Treatment and Omega 6 Healing Cream. The line is created by Benjamin Knight Fuchs, who is a pharmacist, nutritionist, and skin care chemist. The products are designed to work with your skin’s biochemistry. They are made with 100% active and functional ingredients. The Retinol Spot Treatment treats and prevents blemishes, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles. It has Retinol, Salicylic Acid, and Vitamins C & E. It can also be used to prevent ingrown hairs and relieve pain from bug bites. I love that it has a rollerball applicator for direct application. I am amazed by the Omega 6 Healing Cream. It regenrates skin’s own healing abilities while speeding recovery from damage. It uses “Premium lipophilic Vitamin C and Omega 6 fats work synergistically to soften and improve skin elasticity, balance, and function. Refines texture, helps smooth scars, lines, and wrinkles.” I used it on a cut and it healed in two days. So get Truth Treatments for your skin concerns, and you won’t have to lie about why you look so good….
