100% Natural Moisturizing Day Fluid

with 15 Vitamins and Mineral

Product Description: (source: www.humanheartnature.com)

How many vitamins are there in your current moisturizer? Just one? Our 100% Natural Moisturizing Day Fluid has 15 vitamins and minerals that give your skin the nutrient-boost it needs to start the day looking fabulous!


Plus you get an extra dose of Vitamin E, nature’s richest antioxidant, to help reduce the risk of sun damage. This light and easily-absorbed fluid goes on as smoothly as silk, so you won’t have that greasy feeling all day.


15 reasons to switch from your chemical moisturizer: Vitamin E • Vitamin C • Vitamin A • Vitamin B1 • Vitamin B2 • Vitamin B5 • Vitamin B12 • Vitamin D • Selenium • Lecithin • Magnesium • Calcium • Potassium • Iron • Zinc


Did you know: Most chemical moisturizers contain petroleum by-product ingredients like silicone, dimethicone, and other products ending in “-one” to make the skin’s surface feel soft, smooth and silky. Known as feel modifiers, these ingredients sit in a layer on top of your skin keeping the moisture in but at the same time, clogging your pores and trapping in sebum, dirt and bacteria, thus causing breakouts and allergic reactions. It’s like applying a layer of plastic wrap on your face and not allowing your skin to breathe!


According to the Environmental Working Group (www.ewg.org), there is insufficient toxicity data to know if dimethicone and silicones are safe for use in cosmetics and other personal care products. Who wants to be a guinea pig? In Human Nature, we err on the side of caution and avoid them.

Ingredients:

water, dicapryl ether (vegetable derived), caprylic/capric triglyceride (coconut derived), glycerin, glyceryl stearate, isostearyl hydroxystearate (vegetable derived), stearyl alcohol, Persea americana (avocado) seed oil, Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, Aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf juice, tocopherol acetate (vitamin E), tapioca starch, xanthan gum, glyceryl caprylate (coconut oil, palm oil and glycerin derived), fragrance (all natural), anisic acid (anise seed derived), farnesol and linalool

My Review

I love this moisturizer! Actually, just now I received my 2nd bottle!yehey!^____^

It's not sticky compare to my previous moisturizer (NIVEA BABY).

You just need a small amount for your entire face and neck. It easily absorb by your skin.

The package is great, it looks like expensive.But for 50ml its only Php149.75 and they have special offer for 100ml for Php264.75 only.

Effective and worth it to buy,promise! ^____^

Is there anything our Beauty Oil can't do?


Did you know: Mineral oil, commonly used in personal care products, can actually clog pores. It works by sitting on the skin’s surface, thus blocking pores and impeding the skin’s ability to release toxins. It also dries skin and speeds up premature skin-ageing.

My Review

I use this as my hair shine and I apply every night on my underarm. Before I have dry hair especially the tip part, after using this product I saw a big difference ( goodbye frizzy hair and  split ends! :D) and it also lighten my underarm. The packaging is excellent but the oiliness stack on the bottle. But still It's made of natural ingredients and no harmful chemicals.

My Review

Another review of Krave Products which I really love because of their natural ingredients.

The package

Most of the packaging of the Krave products are not that appealing, but it doesn't mean that they are not effective or good quality. Now their mist, it's just an ordinary small spray bottle with a clear cap on the top and a low quality of a sticker with their label.

The liquid and fragrance

The color of the liquid is light green , maybe because of the teas which are the key ingredients of this product. Its smell like herb but not that strong.

I love this product, It help my make up last long for about 6-8 hours. My sister notice that my skin is always blooming. After I put my make up I spray 2-3 times on my face and neck to keep away my make up from smearing. I have an oily skin and I'm acidic, but when I use it It eliminates the oxidation process. A good partner with this product is the Krave Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator which I already gave a review. I will recommend this to all gals who are always busy and don't have enough time to retouch.  But for me as a student, this item is too expensive for 30ml only. So I made some research and I found out that you can make your own make up setting mist. I will discuss it on my next topic. :)

My Review

The Package
Frankly speaking the package is not that appealing, compare to other cosmetic products. Its just an ordinary powder container with s small powder puff. Actually, the powder puff is not that soft. Sorry about the dirty powder puff. I can't find the same size in any store, so i can't replace it.

The Shade
It has no shade, it's transparent. Sorry I can't show you, how the powder looks like, because I already finish it (n_n). Anyway, I will just explain how it looks like. Its a white powder, same as Johnson and Johnson's loose powder. When applying it better to use a powder brush so you can evenly blend it in your skin.

The Scent

Its fragrance free, which is safe for sensitive skin like me .

Overall Review

I like this product but not that much. Since I have a acidic skin It doesn't really stop the process of oxidation but it can slow down the process. But after I used make-up setting mist from Krave, before and after I put my make up on. The oxidation process is totally gone and it give me a glowing and healthy skin!Yehey!I think the two products are good in tandem. I will give a review about the make-up setting mist when I have free time. Anyway, I will buy this product again. I will recommend this for all the gals who have sensitive skin and oily skin. It also has natural and chemical free ingredients which is good for all types of skin.

POSITIVE

- Hypo-allergenic

-Non-comedogenic

-Non-acnegenic

-Nano particle free

-Fragrance free

-Applicable for all types of skin

NEGATIVE

- price is not suitable for 3g.

- I need to use another product to achieve the finish that I really want.

- No available small powder puff near my place.(u_u)

I love the engrave design on the cover of the container. It looks like expensive and elegant. But its to bulky to carry on. So I prefer to transfer it in s small container. It has soft fluffy powder puff inside, and after the puff it has a cover with a small hole where the powder will be release in small amount.

The Shade and Coverage

I have yellowish skin tone, suppose to be I ordered #23 Natural beige but my supplier delivered the wrong shade. But it's ok 'cuz I think it's the right shade for my skin tone (n_n).

Yes, It has a floral scent. Actually I'm a little bit allergic on scented products but this product I love it! It doesn't clog my pores and even I have a pimple, It doesn't irritate. Maybe because the ingredients are natural(n_n).

Note:

How to prevent foundation to oxidize?

picture by google

I love foundation (liquid or powder), it helps me to cover my blemishes with a smooth and natural finish.

But wait! After having this perfection, at the middle of the day my face turned to darker tone(two times darker on my skin tone).

What happen to my face?

Does my foundation did this?
or the pH in my  skin react to the foundation?

If foundation turn to darker tone or orange,this process called oxidation. It happen when the sebum in your face interact with the foundation which causing the color to intensify. Base on the articles that I read, their are many possible causes.

  *This problem also happen in BB cream.

Possible causes:
- your pH is high, means you're acidic.
- the foundation can't handle the humidity.
- the sebum interact with the components of the foundation.
- improper hydrating of skin.
-products that you applied in your skin before foundation(sunblock,moisturizer,toner,etc)
- using wrong shade for your skin tone
-using make- up that already on its death bed.


After knowing the possible causes, their are many ways how to prevent the foundation to oxidize.


Solutions:
1. Use a primer- it serve as a barrier between your skin and the foundation.Maybe it will not really prevent the reaction but still it can minimize the interaction of the sebum in your foundation.
2. Use two times lighter shade of foundation. After an hour you may get the coverage that you really desire.
3.Try to experiment, maybe some products may work on you or not.
4. I just read while ago,you can mix a small amount of baking soda in your powder. It can help to minimize the oxidation.
5. Check the expiration date of the make up. Some make up don't have expiration date, so before buying any make up ask the sales lady how long is the lifespan of the item.


Below I provide you a list when you need to dispose your make-up.

10 Steps How to Prevent Pimples

picture by google

Have you encountered, when you wake up in morning a tiny skin lesions appeared on your face?! (>_<)

Yeah, It's a pimple!!!!!Our worst nightmare,ever!!!

But don't worry gals their are many ways to prevent this nightmare.

Before we start, what is pimple?(base on wisegeek.com)

A pimple is a small swelling in the skin caused by a blockage of a pore.A pimple forms when dead skin attempts to slough off but cannot, because of a stoppage in the pores of the skin. Commonly such stoppages are caused by overproduction from the sebaceous glands, which normally work to keep the skin healthy. Dirt and infection in a pore can also lead to a blockage, which will cause a pimple.

♥ 10 Steps how to prevent pimples♥

1. Wash your face 2-3 times a day or before and after you put a make up. Use a hypo-allergenic  or unscented facial wash. Use warm water,not hot water. It helps to open your pores and wash out the dirt.Throughout the day,oils and dirt can stack in our face which can breakout our skin pore and can lead to pimple.

I used Sulfur Zinc Oxide by Dr. Kaufman. It helps to dry pimples and prevent acne, blackheads, rough and oily skin. It will leave your skin super dry,so better to use a moisturizer after. I don't like the smell of the bar but it works well on me. It has active ingredients, 2g sulfur and 750mg Zinc oxide.

2. Use a clean towel to wipe your face. Don't use same towel for your body, better to have a separate one. Cross-contamination can lead to bacteria-growth. 

picture by google

3. Use a moisturizer. Yes, moisturizer is one of the solution!(o_o)

Because after you wash your face natural oil was remove in your face, so better to replace it using a moisturizer. For dry skin better to use a oil based moisturizer and gel based moisturizer usually works well for oily skin.

I apply Nivea Baby Smoothy Cream before I go to bed. I know it's for babies but it works well on my skin, since I have sensitive skin. 

The positive points about this product:(base on the info at the back of the container)

- Hypoallergenic

-non-greasy, easily absorbed formulation

-free of parabens, alcohol and colorants

-skin-friendly ingredients

-with natural calendula

picture by google

For morning ,I use Olay natural White light All in One Fairness Day Cream. 

Which combine the effect of fairness cream + spot remover + moisturizer. Its light, non-greasy formula with triply nutrient system-vitamins B3, pro B5 and E and sunscreen ingredients helps, to lighten skin tone, hydrate and protect the skin from harmful UV rays to give you a fairness that glows. (base on the info at the back of the container)

4. Try an acne product. Many acne products was offered on the market, which may or may not work out on your skin. Usually acne products contains benzoyl peroxide which has drying effect and salicylic acid which helps to penetrate the follicle. Better to visit your dermatologist to know what is the right acne product for you.

When I'm still studying in Singapore my friend recommend this product to me. I went immediately to the drug store to try it out and it cost me SG$ 6.00, I think. It's quite cheap compare to other acne product. But it's very effective, after putting the gel that night when i woke up my pimple is already dry. The product also help to lighten the acne scars.

5. Drink 8 or more glasses of water everyday. Simple and easy to do. Drinking water helps to flushes away the dirt and reduces impurities.

picture by google

6. Eat fruits and vegetables. have you heard " Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are"?

If you eat unhealthy foods like burgers & french fries from fast food, which contain bad oils and can ruin your body. Better to switch to healthy lifestyle. Eat fruits and veges, the best way to prevent pimples and it can reduce the breakouts.

picture by google

7. Keep your hands off your face. Avoid touching your face with your hands, better to wash your hands first or apply a hand sanitizer. Our hands are full of bacteria which can lead to irritation of the skin or the pimple. Never ever pop your pimples it can result to infection and scarring.

picture by google

8. Have enough sleep. Better to have 7-8 hours sleep everyday. Quality sleep can lead to less inflammatory processes, hormone balance and less stress, which will greatly improve the condition of your skin.

picture by google

9. Keep your bed linens clean. Change your bed linens twice or trice a week to prevent the growth of the bacteria and to avoid clogging your pores.

10. Keep hair away from your face. Hair catch dirt from the air and can cause pimples. You can tie your hair or use headband.
