Fast Absorbing Deep Hydration: Be An Ostrich Aqua Bomb Moisturizer Anti-Aging Cream

May 2, 2018 · 7 Comments

Weather changes can be brutal on aging skin, leaving it dry and irritated while causing a dull and older appearance. Its’ time to go into hydration overdrive mode. Want a rich cream that turns back time and still absorbs quickly? Be An Ostrich Aqua Bomb Moisturizer Anti-Aging Cream contains cruelty-free, natural, hydrating and treating ingredients yet it goes on light and silky, absorbing into the skin with no residue, resulting in just a dewy glow while treating skin to anti-aging goodness.

Be An Ostrich Aqua Bomb Moisturizer Anti-Aging Cream contains all natural, cruelty-free ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Apricot and Jojoba Oils

AN IDEAL CREAM FOR THOSE WITH ADULT ACNE AND WRINKLES

If you suffer from wrinkles and adult acne, finding a good moisturizer is difficult. If you seek a cruelty-free one with natural ingredients, it becomes even more difficult. Be An Ostrich Aqua Bomb Moisturizer Anti-Aging Cream is a cruelty-free cream that is highly moisturizing and soothing while not promoting acne breakouts. It is a delicate balance to find a moisturizer that treats anti-aging and soothes skin without further clogging pores or promoting more acne. The ingredients not only do not cause acne but help heal it.

FEATURE OVERVIEW

No detectable scent
Suitable for use under makeup or as a nighttime serum or treatment mask
Absorbs quickly without feeling greasy
Only a small amount is needed
Does not sting or irritate the skin
Anti-aging treatment ingredients
Does not cause acne breakouts
Can also be used around the eye area and decolletage

INGREDIENTS

HYALURONIC ACID
StyleChicks regulars know we are huge proponents of Hyaluronic Acid for its’ amazing ability to hydrate until the skin is plump, as well as its’ ability to assist other active ingredients. Hyaluronic Acid has the capability of pulling moisture into the skin, and active ingredients along with it. Any treating ingredient penetrates deeper when paired with Hyaluronic Acid.

APRICOT OIL
Apricot Oil is outstanding for the skin. In traditional oriental medicine, apricot oil has been used to treat both acne and dry, flaking skin. It is nourishing, soothing and hydrating yet is so lightweight that it absorbs quickly without a greasy residue or film.

It is high in unsaturated fats and Vitamin K, which can help reduce the appearance of dark circles and discoloration. Vitamin E and A moisturizes and nourishes dry and mature skin and improve skin elasticity.

Apricot Oil is deeply nourishing, soothing, and absorbs quickly

JOJOBA OIL
Jojoba is very similar to parts of our skin in chemical structure. A soothing carrier oil that nourishes skin, softens scars and makes them more pliable, and helps skin retain existing moisture as well as preserving skin elasticity. It does not cause acne or clog pores even though it works very similar to sebum keeps skin soft. Made of 98% monounsaturated fats so it can penetrate deeply, Jojoba absorbs well and does some of its’ best work when paired with other active ingredients.

SQUALENE
Squalene an emollient and anti-oxidant that is a lipid-based moisturizer. It is seen in many high-end brands (read: pricey) skin products, especially those targeted for use around the eyes and lip area. This is with good reason, as Squalene is highly effective in treating fine expression lines around the lips and eyes like crow’s feet.

It is a natural part of sebum, which, like Jojoba, is a building block of your skin looking young and well moisturized. We tend to think of sebum as a bad thing, but that is only when it is trapped in pores or under dead, dry skin cells, where it can become a component of acne. Squalene is actually especially good for acne prone and oily skin.

Effective ingredients that are gentle enough for twice a day use on face, eye area, throat, and decolletage.

MY EXPERIENCE: PUTTING BE AN OSTRICH AQUA BOMB Moisturizing Anti-Aging Cream TO THE TEST

INITIAL IMPRESSION: Dries down quickly, leaves skin feeling soft, not greasy. Fine lines and not so fine lines (read eleven lines and smile lines) look softer and more supple after application. Skin looks healthy.

There is no detectable scent, which I prefer, especially around my eyes.

Only a pump or two is needed for the entire face and eye area.

Just a pump or two is needed for eyes and face

APPLICATION
It does not pill over serums or under sunscreen. It dries down well so it’s suitable for use under makeup. My undereye concealer goes on smoother with this cream as a base than many primers intended for the purpose of being used as a base.

Surface dry and flaky skin tends to slough off during application, I particularly like using this after exfoliating.

Creamy and silky without being oily or greasy

MY RESULTS WITH REGULAR USE
We tested the cream for several weeks to see long-term benefits. This includes how the skin looks after regular use when I have no product or makeup on my freshly washed face before any cream is applied.

Fine lines do look softer and less deep. My face is less dry, more supple, and there are far less redness and irritation from my topical treatments. A few acne scar marks look softer. There are no dry, flaky patches. My skin has a subtle glow.

Using the Be An Ostrich Aqua Bomb Moisturizer Anti-Aging Cream on acne keeps skin free from flakes that may inhibit the absorption of topical acne treatments. It is also easier to conceal a blemish when it is less flaky, red and irritated.

Maybe there’s an optical deflector property of the dewy moist look of the skin or the smoothing of the fine lines, but my dark circles seem not as dark as usual since using this cream. There is actual basis for this: Apricot Oil contains Vitamin K, known to reduce the appearance of dark circles.

Apricot Oil contains Vitamin K which can lighten dark circles

Aqua Bomb has Apricot Oil which contains Vitamin K to lighten dark circles

But sometimes it is hard to see the exact differences in your skin. Our tester had computerized skin analysis done to see exactly (and scientifically) just how and where Be An Ostrich Aqua Bomb Moisturizer Anti-Aging Cream made a difference on her skin. The most impressive results were on forehead fine lines:

Before:

Prior to using Be An Ostrich Aqua Bomb Moisturizer Anti-Aging Cream, she had a decent amount of expression lines. The lighter green are fine lines, the dark green are “just about to turn into wrinkles” lines.

After:

After using Be An Ostrich Aqua Bomb Moisturizer Anti-Aging Cream for about six weeks, most of the lines are gone – just one little one remaining!

AN IDEAL MOISTURIZER TO BUFFER AGGRESSIVE RETINOL AND TREATING SERUMS

The first line of defense against aging is serums such as Vitamin C or Retinol both of which should be daily. But each of these can cause excess dryness, flaking, redness and itchy skin. They cause so much skin distress that many people abandon using them altogether. If you’ve had a problem with skin becoming too irritated from Vitamin C or Retinol, a moisturizer upgrade is required to buffer the effects, retaining all of the serum goodness while fending off dryness.

Serums and Retinol treat both acne and fine lines such as these but often leave skin dry and irritated. Buffer serums with Be An Ostrich Aqua Bomb Moisturizer Anti-Aging Cream to avoid dry skin and enhance anti-aging topicals

Be An Ostrich Aqua Bomb Moisturizer Anti-Aging Cream is the ideal moisturizer to layer over treating topical serums such as my daily Vitamin C or Retinols. I like that the Hyaluronic Acid helps enhance the penetrating ability of my Vitamin C serum so that collagen formation can occur at a deeper skin level, while Jojoba and Apricot quell and soothe the irritation and redness that can occur with some topicals, including Vitamin C and Retinol.

Contains natural, cruelty-free ingredients ideal for twice a day use

CONCLUSION

Be An Ostrich Aqua Bomb Moisturizer Anti-Aging Cream is a cruelty-free, natural ingredient, non-irritating, highly hydrating and nourishing cream to soothe and treat the dry skin on the face, eyes, neck, and décolletage. An effective blend of proven ingredients works as a day or night cream and can be used with topicals and under sunscreen and makeup. It absorbs quickly into skin while offering both immediate and long-term benefits.

Home SPA Summer Goals: DEESS iLight 2 IPL 3-in-1 Hair Removal, Skin Rejuvenation & Acne Treatment Device

May 2, 2018 · 1 Comment

Our Summer beauty focus includes the removal of unwanted hair and improved skin appearance, especially in areas that typically don’t show as much in cooler months. Now that warm weather is quickly approaching, tackle hair removal, acne, and skin rejuvenation at home in 6 – 12 weeks with the versatile, 3 in 1 DEESS iLight2 3-in-1 device, an at-home IPL with hair removal, acne, and skin rejuvenation attachments.

The DEESS iLight2 3-in-1 IPL Device removes unwanted hair, treats acne, and can be used for skin rejuvenation and collagen production

ABOUT IPL TREATMENTS

IPL treatments are popular in-office or in-spa for the treatment of unwanted facial or body hair, acne, and skin rejuvenation. Each treatment uses a different frequency of light or pulse to achieve its’ specific result. For example, to remove unwanted hair, the IPL uses the energy of short intense pulse light that is absorbed by the pigment within the hair follicle root. After repeated treatments, hair doesn’t grow back.

WHY CONSIDER A HOME IPL DEVICE FOR HAIR REMOVAL

The downside of this effective treatment is in-office sessions get quite costly pretty fast, with larger body parts such as arms or legs costing an average of $3600 to complete over the course of about eight sessions. IPL laser treatments for hair removal at the doctor’s office or the spa are effective but expensive and time-consuming.

Professional Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology can be done safely at home with devices designed for at-home use. While it takes a bit longer than the powerful, large devices in a spa, it is effective and less painful than in-office hair removal or skin treatments. The specific nanometer (nm) of light on the spectrum can treat different problems, such as blue and green light is helpful for acne, red and amber for skin rejuvenation. The DEESS IPL Spectrum of light is 510 -1200nm, which is safe for at-home use, as long as you wear the included UV 400 protective goggles during treatment.

Easy to use handheld IPL device with three treatment attachments, no extra cartridges to buy ever.

In-office hair removal typically spans over a few sessions, you can achieve 95% hair removal in 10-12 weeks at home.

The three treatments in this kit are:

Hair removal light 510-1200 nm: Heat energy effect on root hair follicle that full of pigment
Skin Rejuvenation light 560-1200 nm: increase partial circulation, improve collagen regeneration and reduces wrinkles. Collagen regeneration is vital to maintaining skin structure and preventing sagging and wrinkles, as well as maintaining the skin’s ability to overcome the appearance of photo-damage.
Acne Clear light 400-700 nm: Anti-inflammation, speed up the recovery of acne and reduce the bacteria present on the skin.

DEESS iLight2 comes with three attachment heads for hair removal, skin rejuvenation, and acne clearing

INCLUDED IN THIS KIT

Main body device
Hair removal light attachment
Lamp for skin rejuvenation light attachment
Acne treatment light attachment.
Goggles
Charger
User Manual
Drawstring bag to hold the device and attachments

WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE DEESS iLight2

Clinical results for the DEESS are impressive, especially for a three in one device.

Studies show:

Hair removal: 90% hair reduction after 6-10 treatment sessions.
Skin rejuvenation: After a multiple-session treatment course, 95% of participants are satisfied with the brightening of skin. 91% of them reported a tightening and lifting effect. 90% of women reported facial toning. 80% men reported reduced wrinkles.
Acne: An 86% reduction in acne caused by bacteria was seen within a few weeks.

Where can you use the DEESS iLight 2 3-in-1 Device?

You can use the device on the face, upper lip, chin, sideburns, armpit, arms, legs, tummy, and bikini area.

FEATURES

This Multi-function device comes with 3 attachment heads.
There are no hidden costs with the DEESS iLight 2, as there are no cartridges refills and no gels to apply. The attachments will last for a full three years of treatment. (Hair Removal: 350,000 flashes, Skin Rejuvenation and Acne treatment attachments are each 95,000 flashes).
There are two modes: Manual operation (flash one by one) & Automatic operation (continuous flash every 2 seconds). This makes each treatment session go very quickly, but also allows for custom spot treatments as needed.
LARGE PANEL FOR FASTER TREATMENT SESSIONS: This device has an especially large window for an at-home IPL device. A bigger window means more area covered with each light flash, making quick work out of hair removal, especially on larger areas like arms and legs. For a full treatment of full arms or legs, it takes about eight minutes.
Pain-free. No cooling gel needed.
24-month warranty.

WHY WE LIKE THE DEESS ILIGHT2

The device fits easily in the hand, and the controls are very easy to use. The instruction manual covers any questions you may have about use. It is lightweight but not flimsy. The three interchangeable attachments are easy to switch out, and the treatment light window is fairly large, making for faster treatment sessions. It is easy to switch the attachments for doing different types of IPL treatments in one day, such as hair removal on the legs and an acne or skin rejuvenation treatment for the face.

A unique feature of the DEESS is most home devices are not able to handle both delicate facial hair removal and more the difficult underarm and leg hair removal, this device does both very effectively in a cost-effective, pain-free way that is quick and easy. Achieve spa-level professional results at home, it takes no special talent or strength to work this device.

Organically Beautiful: Alteya Organics Rose Otto Face Sunscreen Sheer Tint

April 27, 2018 · 3 Comments

In March’s Allure Magazine, there was an article about how women don’t wear sunscreen because it is a step that doesn’t show any immediate payoff. In ten years, it definitely has a payoff. But when you use it and apply it correctly, nothing happens. Women are more likely to regularly use sunscreen if it is a formula with skincare benefits beyond just sun protection. It also helps if the formula is a luxurious, decadent part of your skincare routine, and that is why we love Alteya Organics Rose Otto Face Sunscreen.

Now as any Style Chicks reader knows, we advocate sunscreen use 365 days a year, no exceptions. We personally demand a lot from our sunscreens, and we love when there are other skincare benefits beyond UV protection. So let’s take a look at why we feel that Alteya Organics Rose Otto Face Sunscreen is a great sunscreen choice.

Alteya Organics Rose Otto Face Sunscreen

FORMULA

Alteya Organics Rose Otto Face Sunscreen is a decadent day lotion with SPF 25 protection. The silky formula contains several anti-aging ingredients, so it combines sunscreen and potent skincare into one luxurious lotion. It has a very sheer pink tint to it to add a bit of light coverage. The bottle is also gorgeous: perfect for display on your vanity table! The formula contains organic ingredients: no chemicals seeping into your pores!

Broad Spectrum, Certified Organic and packed with skin-loving ingredients like Sea Buckthorn, Aloe Vera, Sunflower, Avocado, Rose Hip, Jojoba, Pumpkin Seed and Evening Primrose Oils, and Rose Otto Essential Oil.

INGREDIENTS

Rose Otto Face Sunscreen protects against the Sun’s rays with Zinc Oxide. It works to improve your skin with a myriad of wonderful ingredients including Vitamin C to undo past sun damage and lessen fine lines and wrinkles. It has an impressive number ingredients that hydrate and improve skin, including Sunflower Oil, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil (which contains a high level of antioxidants), Macadamia Oil, Aloe Leaf Juice, Avocado Oil, Rose Hip Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Acai Fruit Oil, Vitamin E, Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract, Lavender Oil, and a ton of other impressive ingredients. This is a lotion that packs potent anti-aging ingredients and has the bonus of being a broad-spectrum, organic SPF!

Color swatch close-up: add a youthifying sheer pinkish tint to the skin, just enough to add a glow of vitality

HOW IT WEARS

We love how silky the formula feels on our skin, and how it absorbs into the skin without feeling greasy. It leaves a smooth, supple, hydrated base for your makeup routine. If you are leaving the house fresh-faced, it gives the skin a dewy, healthy finish.

There isn’t a chalky feel or look to the formula like many sunscreens, and if you are worried about photography flash-back, don’t be: skin is left even and smooth, but not shiny. This makes it an ideal sunscreen for outdoor weddings.

The directions state that it should be reapplied every two hours. All sunscreens should be reapplied every two hours, but what I love about reapplying Rose Otto Face Sunscreen is that it refreshes my makeup if I re-apply it over my makeup, and gives my skin a mid-day shot of moisture if I’m fresh-faced.

Organic, Anti-aging, Broad Spectrum, and a universally flattering tint that adds a subtle glow that is a universally flattering tone

I just needed a few drops for all over face coverage

Blend as transparent as needed without it becoming chalky or obvious. Does not settle into fine lines.

SCENT

The rose scent is AMAZING. I generally prefer scent-free skincare, but in this case, the scent is what makes it so luxurious. It isn’t too strong, just enough to make you look forward to putting it on in the morning. Take a moment to relax in your busy morning and enjoy the scent as you treat your skin!

The rose scent is not just an olfactory treat: it denotes a key ingredient of what makes this sunscreen different from any other rose scented products you may have encountered, as it is not your typical rose, but the rare Bulgarian Rose Damascena, or Rose Otto. Rose Otto comes from the petals of the Bulgarian Rose Damascena, from one specific rose valley. Bulgarian Rose Otto is considered one of the most precious essential oils in the world. It has a host of skincare benefits including detoxifying, acne-preventing, anti-aging, moisturizing and rejuvenating.

Alteya’s rose plantations are in that Bulgarian Rose Valley, and they run a specific distillation cycle to produce Rose Otto essential oil to their exacting standards for treating even highly sensitive skin.

CONCLUSION

Atleya Organics Rose Otto Sunscreen is an easy way to add sunscreen to your daily skincare plan as it applies and wears like a luxury face lotion, it smells wonderful, it treats skin like a pampering anti-aging skin care program with the added benefit of coveted Rose Otto Essential Oil, plus the hint of pink tint gives skin a youthful baby skin like glow. An organic product with Broad Spectrum SPF 25, it protects skin while making it look good now and in the future. Beautiful enough on skin to wear to events you will see and be seen, and it does not contain the ingredients that cause “sunscreen flashback” in photographs. The texture applies easily and does not become chalky. Blend for slight coverage or to virtually transparent and just a hint of tint for a fresh-faced look and feel.

The Answers to Your Questions About The Ordinary 100% Organic Virgin Sea-Buckthorn Fruit Oil

April 20, 2018 · 13 Comments

Here at Style Chicks, we were so excited when we heard that The Ordinary was going to be making a Sea Buckthorn Oil. And now it’s here! We ordered it the second it was available on the website! But we’ve gotten a lot of questions from our faithful readers about what Sea Buckthorn Oil is, what it does, and why our entire office is giddy about The Ordinary’s new offering. Last year we published an article about Sea Buckthorn Oil, so we decided to pull some highlights from that article so you’ll know why it is so amazing for skin, and our thoughts on The Ordinary 100% Organic Virgin Sea-Buckthorn Fruit Oil.

WHY SEA BUCKTHORN OIL IS AWESOME

The “hostess with the mostest” of the Style Chicks Favorite Skincare Ingredients series, Sea Buckthorn Oil has over 200 nutrients to work wonders on delicate eye skin, wrinkles & stretch marks.

WHAT SEA BUCKTHORN DOES

Sea Buckthorn Oil is an ingredient worthy of your skincare routine. With over 200 nutrients to nourish the skin, it heals skin damage including scars, burns, and abrasions. It soothes eczema and treats acne. But my favorite thing about Sea Buckthorn Oil is it treats aging skin and sun damaged skin as if it is an injury or wound, and Sea Buckthorn Oil thinks it must remedy the situation immediately. I feel ya, Sea Buckthorn. So it “calls the troops” together, making repairing cells “rescue” the aging skin by working overtime building as much collagen as possible.

That makes Sea Buckthorn a great ingredient in a vitamin C serum, as C provides the building blocks for collagen while Sea Buckthorn tells the skin to make collagen. Go team!

Sea Buckthorn Oil reduces wrinkles, fine lines and acne (c) Can Stock Photo / Goruppa

WHAT EXACTLY IS SEA BUCKTHORN?

A.K.A. the “wonder oil,” Seaberry or Hippophae Rhamnoides, Sea Buckthorn oil is extracted from small orange berries.

Sea Buckthorn Oil is like a who’s who of nutrients including vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D, E, K, and P; carotenoids; flavonoids; amino acids; phenols; folic acid; organic acids; 20 mineral elements, and essential fatty acids. It uniquely contains all four omegas: omega-3, omega-6, omega-7, and omega-9.

This cocktail of repairing nutrients is what makes Sea Buckthorn Oil so useful for general skin care and the repair of eczema, wounds, scars, stretch marks, and aging skin concerns including wrinkles and fine lines. It works wonders on the undereye area.

OTHER SEA BUCKTHORN FEATURES AND FACTS:

Sea Buckthorn is very gentle and ideal for the undereye area and plump wrinkles and lines upon application.
Organic Sea Buckthorn oil can immediately reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines because it plumps up the skin.
A bit about these 200 nutrients, they have a variety of skin care applications, These nutrients have a variety of skin care applications including soothing the redness of sun damage, nourishing skin, providing C and E, and serving as a super-anti-oxidant.
Sea Buckthorn can make clear serums (like Vitamin C) appear opaque or cloudy.
Sea Buckthorn also gently but effectively treats acne and fades acne scars, including stubborn adult acne

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THE ORDINARY 100% ORGANIC VIRGIN SEA-BUCKTHORN FRUIT OIL

Sea Buckthorn is an excellent addition, I added two drops to my standard nighttime beauty mega mix. It is gentle yet effective, powerful but non-irritating. I like how pimples shrink but they are not left dry, red, or flaky. Skin is smooth, even and soft.

On application, it does not sting or make my skin feel tight.

After the first use, active acne blemishes reduce a bit, skin feels toned and soft. The blackheads practically leaped off my face they start purging so fast, especially around my nose.

I experienced no redness, dryness or irritation after use, even around the sensitive under-eye area.

PRODUCT QUALITY

We love products that contain Sea Buckthorn but didn’t realize how little Sea Buckthorn bang for our buck we got in some other Sea Buckthorn products we’ve tried until we saw what The Ordinary’s Sea Buckthorn looks like in its’ true concentrated form.

Many products containing Sea Buckthorn are cream to a dark peach color product. The Ordinary Sea Buckthorn, however, is a deeply saturated red-orange color that even when just a few drops are used in a clear or light color moisturizer turns it bright Oompa Loompa Orange.

Fortunately, this product for use when you will NOT be seen by the masses, use it at night. And it washes off clean without any scrubbing, so no fear of daytime orange residue.

CONCLUSION

So that’s the skinny on The Ordinary 100% Organic Virgin Sea-Buckthorn Fruit Oil. Definitely one worth adding to your personal beauty arsenal, because it really does all the things.

We are excited to see how The Ordinary 100% Organic Virgin Sea-Buckthorn Fruit Oil improves our skin care game in the next few weeks. Stay tuned for future Sea Buckthorn updates to get our thoughts on the results of regular use of this exciting addition to The Ordinary product line.

The Decadent Multi-Tasker: Wild Beaute Coconut Tangerine Melt

April 10, 2018 · 9 Comments

We live in a day and age that a 13-step skincare process is not uncommon. But what if you could skip the other 12 products and just used one decadent product for multiple beauty needs?

Well now you can, with the incredibly luxurious Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt. Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt is made of only two ingredients: Organic Cold-pressed Coconut Oil, and Organic Cold pressed Tangerine Essential Oil. The two ingredients work in tandem to provide the skin with intense hydration. And the scent is absolutely amazing: I’ve been wearing it as my fragrance lately instead of perfume!

Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt

TIP: To add a little bit more decadence, use a small silver spoon to measure out the amount you want to use. I use a beautiful vintage spoon, and it looks gorgeous next to the jar on my vanity table!

FACE

You probably don’t need me to extol the virtues of Coconut Oil, but it’s worth spending a bit of time on since this is an especially high-grade, well crafted Coconut Oil. Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil maintains more of the beneficial aspects and is a truer form of the oil. In traditionally pressed Coconut Oil, a lot of what makes Coconut Oil helpful is “cooked off” since heat is used. So when looking for Coconut Oil, always look for a Cold-Pressed one like Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt.

Tangerine Oil has antifungal and antiseptic properties, which makes it ideal for skincare, especially as a gentle treatment for acne. It also helps to heal skin – great for dabbing on acne scars!

Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt

Everyday: I love using a thin layer of Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt under my sunscreen on days I know I’ll be in dry conditions, like forced heat in an office. My skin doesn’t get oily but remains dewy all day. It is also a fantastic lip primer. I haven’t had completely smooth lips since I was four, but Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt makes my lips smooth and ready for lipstick!

Intense Moisture Mask: As a soothing Sunday Night treat, I take a generous amount of Coconut Tangerine Melt, melt it slightly between my fingers, and smooth it over my face. Then I place a hot washcloth over my face, put on some relaxing music, and rest for twenty minutes. It smells amazing, and when my twenty minutes is up, I gently massage my skin to allow every last drop of moisture to absorb. My skin is so smooth and glowing, and it stays incredibly soft! Putting on makeup on Monday morning is so much easier since I have soft, plump skin to work with. And I don’t limit it to just Sundays, I use it as a moisture mask anytime my skin needs a shot of extra moisturizer!

Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt

HAIR

Ah, using Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt on hair. Your hair will thank you for this. Once a week, I like to melt some and use it as a hot oil treatment, and then wrap my hair in a hot towel. I leave it in for about an hour and then rinse it out. The result? My hair is amazingly shiny and soooooo soft! I also do mid-week treatments on my ends to keep them healthy.

It is also fantastic for second-day hair. I take a small amount and emulsify it between my hands, and then scrunch it into my hair and massage my scalp with it. My hair looks bouncy, shiny, and smells fantastic. It works the same if you want straight hair, just use a light hand.

Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt

BODY

Want the most decadent shave you’ve ever gotten? Use Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt as a shave cream. Apply it to your legs before you get in the shower, and let it set in the steam for a few minutes before you shave. Not only will you get the smoothest shave of your life, but your shower will smell amazing!

I also love using it as a post-shower moisturizer. It gives my arms a healthy glow and makes them so soft. I especially love it on elbows, knuckles, and the bane of my beauty existence, my cuticles. It moisturizes my cuticles and keeps hangnails from forming.

MAKEUP

Makeup is fun. Taking off makeup at the end of a long day is not fun. But using Wild Beauté Coconut Tangerine Melt to take off your makeup at the end of the day is a luxurious experience that you will look forward to. No more falling asleep in your makeup!

Just take a bit, rub it between your fingers, and spread it over your face. It will gently remove your makeup, even waterproof mascara. Gently wipe your face with a soft towel, and your face will be clean and moisturized at the same time!

A little makeup hack I love: if your skin is looking a little dull during the day, pat a tiny bit of Coconut Tangerine Melt onto your cheekbones, brow bone, or anywhere else that could use a little glow. Instant highlighter!

Something else we love about Wild Beauté products: they are made by a small company of four women. This means they know exactly what constitutes a great beauty product, because they are making the products that they need and use themselves! I love women-owned companies who just want to help other women! And as the icing on the cake, Wild Beauté supports Wildlife conservation and protection and works with global organizations to protect animals worldwide. And they are cruelty-free!
