Zakia's Morroco Ghassoul Clay Mask Review

Powered by brandbacker*
Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well. Today I will be reviewing Zakia's Morroco Ghassoul Clay Mask. Clay is very beneficial to the skin and hair. If you are looking for a mask to unclog the  your pores and is affordable then this might be just what you are looking for. Please scroll down for pictures and my full review and thoughts.


Zakia Morroco Ghassoul Clay Mask retails for $19.00.  According to Zakia's Morroco, the Moroccan Ghassoul Clay Mask contains natural and organic clay from deep inside the Ancient Atlas Mountains of Morocco.  The Clay Mask is perfect skin treatment for cleaning, detoxifying, toning and rejuvenating. A facial mask treatment made from Ghassoul clay can be relaxing and give your skin a new healthy glow. Ghassoul clay's most impressive properties in skin improvement are its capacity of absorption and adsorption due to its high level of ion exchange. Ghassoul is a mineral rich, light brown clay that blends extremely well with water making its application to the face and skin a smooth and delightful experience. Use on skin and hair - it even makes for a fabulous shampoo; mix a small amount of powder in your favorite shampoo - wash and rinse. 






Directions: Use a small amount that will be enough to cover your face and mix it with a little bit of water. If you put too much water just add a bit more clay. Make sure the consistency is thick and creamy.
 Wait about 2- 3 mins until the clay absorbed the water. Add more water if it is still too thick.

Once you have the desired consistency apply a thin layer all over your face and leave it on 15- 20 minutes depending how thick you made your mask. 

Rinse with warm water.


After your face is dried up, apply your favorite moisturizer.




Review/Thoughts

I really like the Zakia's Morroco Ghassoul Clay Mask. Mixing the powder was easy. Once mixed I applied it over my face and it went on so smooth. I really liked the consistency of the mask. I left it on for about 20 minutes. I felt my skin tighten up a lot and it was a bit itchy when it started to dry. My advice is leave it on, but don't leave it until it is really dry. This mask does an excellent job at removing impurities, so leaving it for too long might make your skin red after you rinse. I have sensitive skin and this was the case with me. After a few applications of the mask, I didn't leave it on as long as the first time and my skin experienced no redness. I loved how soft it made my skin feel and it looked a lot more clean and fresh looking. The Zakia's Morroco Ghassoul Clay Mask is a affordable clay mask that does just a good of a job of removing impurities from your skin as most named brand clay masks that are out in the beauty market. Also, this mask is made with natural ingredients and can be used as a shampoo as well as a mask for your entire body. I love it and this will come in handy for the summer months.

Review/Experience

I have used these products for about two weeks to see how it would improve my skin. Over all, I love what The Hyaluronic Serum and the Vitamin C Toner have done for my skin.  According to the products directions, it said to use the toner first and then the serum so that the serum and moisturizers are better absorbed into the skin. That is how I used it. First I sprayed the Vitamin C Toner all over my face. I let is dry up, but if you feel that  too much product is on  your face you  can always pat with cotton. I love how refreshing it felt on my face. It felt wonderful and the citrus smell was also very nice. As it was starting to dry, I felt my face tighten up fast. It didn't irritate my sensitive skin which I was happy about because I love this product so much. Afterwards, I applied a small amount of the Hyaluronic Acid Serum all over my face and waited till it dried up. It felt so invigorating on the skin and made my skin feel so soft and moisturized. I used these two products together in the morning on cleansed skin and at night after I cleansed my face.

I noticed results with in a week. It did wonders to my complexion. It smoothed out my face and made my pores less visible and the little fine lines of my face seem to fade as well.  It looked as if my face had foundation on, but it was just the way these two products used together made my skin look. My skin looked more youthful, radiant and even. When I did apply foundation on my face,  my pores and fine lines looked less visible than before and made foundation look flawless. Not only did my face look more radiant, it was more soft and smoother. My mother thought I was expecting because she said my skin was glowing. :) I told her I was trying out great new skin care products.

I highly recommend the Hyaluronic Acid Serum and the Vitamin C Facial Toner by Insta Natural. I was happy to be introduced to new skin care products that really helped my skin look hydrated, radiant, even, youthful and smooth. The Hyaluronic Acid Serum brought hydration and moisture to my face and gave it a more youthful complexion as well as making my fine lines less visible. The Vitamin C Toner helped shrink down my pores and is such the great pick me up for the skin through out the day which made my skin feel more clean. I love these products and again I highly recommend them.

Sibu Beauty's Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser Review

*Product was provided by Sibu Beauty for review* 
 

Hello my lovely readers!Hope you all are doing great! Today I am doing a review on skin care product called Sibu Beauty's Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser. I love facial cleansers and how clean and radiant they make your skin look. I have never tried a facial cleanser that had sea buckthorn in it nor have I ever heard of sea buckthorn berries. I was curious and excited to see how this facial cleanser would perform on my skin. Keep reading for more information on the company, the benefits of sea buckthorn berries, review and some pictures :)

About Sibu Beauty

Sibu Beauty was founded by Bruce McMullen in 2003. He to traveled to Calcutta India where he met an ayurvedic specialist in Chinese plants and herbs. The specialist mentioned a "holy fruit"  called  the sea buckthorn berry .

After this, Bruce traveled to the himalayas to find sea buckthorn berry which is used in all of Sibu Beauty's products.

Not only is Brian a successful entrepreneur he also has been doing philantrophy serving executive choice chairman for choice humanitarian.

Sea buckthorn berries grow wild in the high altitude of Tibet. The Sea buckthorn Berries are  harvested by the villagers  which are paid fair wages,  perform  environmentally safe processing techniques and work in safe conditions.

The villager and families work in the chain of harvesting and processing.  The brief harvesting season provides enough money to sustain villagers through the harsh winter months of the Himalayas where resources are scarce. The workers are paid fare wages on the same day they pick the berries and process them. In addition, the villagers receive salary increases.


Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser retails at $17.95. According to Sibu Beauty, The Sea Buckthorn facial cleanser is an all natural balancing facial cleanser which removes dirt, impurities and makeup while maintaining a healthy balance to your skin without compromising its natural protective nutrients. This facial cleanser also has micro beads that gently exfoliates leaving your skin clean, fresh and balanced.

Great for removing make-up
Non-foaming gel formula for all skin types

Directions: Use in the morning and the evening. Take a good amount of product and lather it onto your face and gently massage to face and neck. Wash with luke warm water.

History and benefits of the Sea Buckthorn Berry

The sea buckthorn berries have been used for twenty eight centuries and were used for aging issues of health and beauty. In addition, the ancient berries were used to treat and smooth damaged skin, and heal wound from ancient battles.

Sea Buckthorn contains vitamins A, C, E, K, minerals  carotenoids, flavonoids, antioxidants, polyphenols, and phytosterols. This wonderful berry also contains 190 bioactive nutrients.

In addition, the sea buckthorn is loaded with Omega fatty acids, 3, 6, and 9. It also has a rich source of Omega 7 fatty acid. The omega 7 fatty acid helps neutralize free radicals and aids the production of collagen. Futhermore, Omega 7, 3, 6, ad 9 are all critical in providing cellular support for healthy skin, hair and nails.

Ingredients:


My final thoughts/experience

     Over all, this has been my go to facial cleanser for over a month. I have not used anything else to cleanse my face. Before using this product, my face was going through what I would assume to be a hormonal storm where your skin gets a little bumpy and can experience some breakouts. I used this product in the morning and in the night before bed.  I took a good amount and lathered it onto my face. I just love the consistency of the cleanser and how thick it was. It really lathers up nicely and has a nice citrus smell to it. I was surprised  that it also has little micro scrubbers. Not only did it clear my skin, but whatever problem my skin was having at the time, Sibu Beauty's Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser cleared up my skin and returned it back to a clean healthy looking state. In addition, Sibu's Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser left my skin glowing, clean and so soft. I am so impressed. Usually when I use skin care products I do not notice results for about two to three weeks. This wasn't the case with using Sibu Beauty's Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial cleanser. I was amazed to see results within five days. I was so surprised and pleased with the quick results.  Sibu Beauty's Balancing Facial Cleanser is all natural and contains no harsh chemicals. I love skin care products that are all natural. I highly recommend  this to anyone who is looking for the ultimate facial cleanser. Using this product cut my daily and night time skin care routine in half and restored my skin to a healthy, clean and balanced state. 

You can find this product and many other great sea buckthorn products at sibubeauty.com

Sobo Skin Care- Age Smoothing Eye Serum Review

Powdered by Brandbacker.All my opinions and reviews are  100% honest.*



Hello my lovely readers! Today I will be reviewing an Age Smoothing Eye Serum by Sobo Skin Care. We do not notice it, but when we are busy with our everyday lives the outside elements can affect our skin as well as stress, lack of sleep and poor nutrition. These factors can make us look tired which can create puffiness, dark circles and dryness under our eyes. Furthermore, with aging comes dry skin and appearance of fine lines. The best way to combat these problems is by moisturizing our skin and eating healthy. For those that are not the best at eating healthy, the Age Smoothing Eye Serum might be a quick solution to your under eye problems. 

Sobo Skin care's Age Smoothing Eye Serum retails at $42.00. According to Sobo Skin care, this product is a siliconed based moisturizer that protects the skin around the under eye area from  puffiness, dryness and harmful elements that can contribute to a tired appearance.  This product also has a collection of essential lipids which accelerates healing, promotes the production of healthy skin cells and provides protection after medical procedures such as microdermabrasion and laser therapy. Sobo Skin Care's Age Smoothing Serum is all natural, hypoallergenic and is perfect for all skin types.

I like the fact that this product comes in a pump so you can control how much product comes out.
 Second picture: The product seems to be a bit runny.
Third picture: When you apply it,  it has a greasy texture. 
 Fourth picture : Product drys up completely with no greasy residue.


My final thoughts/experience

Over All, I really like this Sobo Skin Care's Age Smoothing Eye Serum. It really did moisturize my under eye area and kept it looking smooth and refreshed. It is a great product if you have mature skin,  have dark circles and suffer from dry under eye area. When I first applied Sobo Skin Care Age Smoothing Eye Serum, it felt greasy and I was afraid it would leave a greasy residue under my eye area and break out my skin, but it did not. It applies greasy, but drys up. What I also love about this product is that it is all natural. I recommend this product if you are suffering from dry, tired and puffy looking eyes. Since I am a mother, it helped my tired eyes look more alert and made my maturing skin around my under eye area look more youthful, moisturized and healthy looking.

Review

   I applied this Mask after I showered and made sure my face was completely dry.When I first tried the Radical Skin Care Instant Revitalizing Mask the first thing I noticed was the nice and subtle citrus smell. Once I applied the mask on my skin, I felt a bubbly sensation and it felt calming. I love it and never experienced this with any facial mask that I tried. I left the product on for about 3-5 minutes and until the product dissolved on my face. Afterwards, my skin felt refreshed, smooth and I noticed that my skin looked brighter.

     After using the product for about three weeks, I noticed the full benefits. This product not only revitalized my face,it also cleared some of the breakouts that my skin was experiencing. It addition, my skin tone looked more even. In addition,my skin has a radiance that it did not have before. The more I used the Radical Skin Care Instant Revitalizing Mask, the more cleaner, smoother ,and youthful my skin looked. If you want that beautiful radiance to your skin  and you want  your skin to feel nourished , refreshed, clean and clear then the Radical Skin Care Instant Revitalizing Mask will help you achieve these instant results. 

Tip: The product does say for all skin types, but if your skin is sensitive like mine, then I recommend leaving the product on for three mins instead of five. I experienced a little irritation when I left it on for five minutes. However, when I left the product on for three minutes, I experienced no irritation what so ever.

Review

 Every night  before bed I cleanse my face and apply the Radical Skin Care Age Defying Exfoliating Pad all over my face and neck. When I first applied the exfoliating pad on my face, I noticed that the pads had a lot of product which I love. You even have enough to apply on the neck area like the directions say to do.My whole face felt saturated with the product and felt cooling to my skin. The pads are very exfoliating, but at the same time gentle on the skin . After I let the product dry on my face, my skin felt amazingly smooth and moisturized because the product drys and locks in the moisture which nourishes your skin at the same time. My face had a shine afterward like if you have a peel on mask except you do not rinse it off. 

  The following morning I noticed my face looking so clear,moisturized and smooth.  I was amazed how good my skin felt and looked. I instantly fell in love. About two weeks after use, I saw major improvements on my skin. The elasticity in my skin returned,my pores were much smaller and my skin looked more youthful than ever before. The skin that I missed having in my early 20s is back again at 30 years of age. I am extremely pleased with The Radical Skin Care Age Defying Exfoliating Pads.  In addition to its many benefits, it also evened out my skin tone. 
.

If you have dry, mature skin and want to bring back youth,moisture and nourish your skin back into shape, then I highly recommend the Radical Skin Care Age Defying  Exfoliating Pads. You will not be disappointed. It is such a great product to add to your skin care regimen.

Using the both Radical Skin Care Instant Revitalizing Mask and the Radical Skin Care Age Defying Mask together helped my skin return to a healthy state. I highly recommend these products and they continue to be part of my skin care regimen.
