Organic Luxury Spa Night Gifts: The Cute & Young Bath Bomb Gift Set

· 11 Comments

Nothing is as relaxing as a warm bath! That is one of the reasons that Bath Bombs are so popular. But as fun as Bath Bombs can be, many bath bombs contain chemicals and dyes that are unhealthy for the skin. They also leave a colored ring around the tub that must be washed off after the bath. The Cute & Young Bath Bomb Gift Set is a luxury scented bath bomb set made of organic and emollient ingredients to soften skin naturally and safely and leaves no residual ring on the tub or residual on your skin!

Cute gift box comes over-wrapped in plastic to keep it in gift-giving condition

MY EXPERIENCE

  • SENSORY EXPERIENCE: One bath bomb is enough for a regular sized tub, two can be used if desired in an especially large tub. However, since these are larger than typical bombs, I found using just one to be plenty of fizz, bubbles, and aroma for an enjoyable long soak in the tub. Check out the video at the end of this post to watch a Cute & Young Bath Bomb in action!

Add one Bath Bomb to a warm bath for a fizzy, foamy bubbly, scented bath experience

  • RELAXING: The combination of Epsom Salts and the Dead Sea Salts are particularly relaxing and soothing to aching muscles after a gym workout, pilates, or yoga session. If you do a “leg day” at the gym, I would particularly recommend the “Fix You” bath bomb that contains several great natural anti-inflammatory essential oils to ease aching muscles.
  • MOISTURIZING: In addition to the softening properties of Dead Sea Salts and Epsom Salts, there are generous amounts of moisturizing ingredients such as Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter plus hydrating essential oils that leave skin so soft!

CONCLUSION

A lovely boxed gift that is perfect for women of any age, as the all-natural, organic ingredients are safe enough for even a young girl or teen to use on their delicate skin. The Bath Bomb set comes gift boxed with a delightful presentation that is festive and feminine. The six individually wrapped bath bombs are HUGE at 4.2 ounces each, and provide ample fizz, bubbles, foam, and aroma to make for a delightful bath experience! I love the variety of bath bombs included in this set, as each moisturizing bath bomb includes differing essential oils for a different experience, whether improving a good night’s sleep, soothing aching muscles, feeling invigorated, or relaxed. The gift set comes with a 100% risk-free satisfaction guarantee.

Balanced Indulgence with Good Idea The Swedish Sugar Buster

· 2 Comments

Low sugar, low carb diets aren’t easy, but people report feeling better with more energy. Why is this? Our body converts carbs to sugars, and we knowingly or unknowingly consume copious amounts of daily sugar, even if we don’t feel like we’re over-indulging on sweets. Sugar can make us feel sluggish, plus lead to a host of serious health problems, weight gain, and dangerous low-grade body and skin inflammation. But the sugar habit, whether in the form of coffeehouse beverages, dessert, french fries or white bread, is difficult to break, especially over a rushed lunch break. At times, carb-laden meals are unavoidable. How can one avoid going into sugar overdrive?

Good Idea is a Swedish Sugar Buster. It’s a scientifically proven dietary supplement designed to be consumed with any meal to help a healthy person regulate the blood sugar rise and eventual energy slump from a fast carb, sugary meal.

Good Idea The Swedish Sugar Buster is a sparkling water that reduces the impact of a high sugar or fast carb meal

Good Idea The Swedish Sugar Buster is a sparkling water that reduces the impact of a high sugar or fast carb meal

WHAT IS GOOD IDEA?

Good Idea is a flavored sparkling water that contains a small amount of five amino acids and a mineral that helps the body’s blood sugar level regulate the impact of the sugar spike following a meal. It works with any meal containing fast carbs (fries, loaded potatoes, white bread, pizza, pasta) or sugar (sugary breakfast cereal, muffins, desserts, snacks, etc). It can also be consumed directly after a meal and still be effective.

HOW GOOD IDEA WORKS

Clinical studies done on healthy people with normal blood sugar levels show the combination of amino acids and the mineral chromium contained in Good Idea reduce post-meal blood sugar levels by 20-30%. This greatly reduces the load on the body to process these sugar and carbs and helps eliminate the inevitable post-meal sugar crash or energy slump.

WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN GOOD IDEA?

This sounds like a great idea, but what exactly are we drinking?

A serving (12 fl oz) of Good Idea contains 2.6 g of five amino acids: isoleucine, leucine, valine, threonine, and lysine, plus 250mg of Chromium Picolinate. Many of these are found in common foods you likely eat regularly, but the timing of when they are ingested is important. You may have seen some of these sold as vitamins or minerals. Here are the specifics:

  • Isoleucine appears to promote glucose consumption and uptake, especially during exercise.
  • Leucine beneficially influences the muscles and is beneficial when taken at specific times as related to a meal. Typically contained in any food containing protein, and more powerful than Isoleucine.
  • Valine is one of the three branched chain amino acids that work in tandem with the other acids
  • Threonine is necessary for protein synthesis.
  • Lysine is found in many foods (fish, chicken, soybean, garbanzo beans, milk, eggs) and is used in the biosynthesis of proteins and repair of muscles.
  • Chromium Picolinate is well known for maintaining normal blood glucose levels in both healthy and diabetic persons. Combined with the five amino acids above, results in less insulin needing to be released into the body to manage a high carb or high sugar meal.
Good Idea has natural amino acids found in many foods, a mineral known to evenly control blood sugar levels, natural flavoring and no sugar

HOW ARE THESE AMINO ACIDS SOURCED?

The amino acids are produced by controlled fermentation of non-GMO vegetable sources only (sunflower seeds, corn or pure glucose).

Good Idea contains only Non-GMO sourced amino acids, such as from this organic corn

Good Idea contains only Non-GMO vegetable sourced amino acids, such as from organic corn

HOW DOES IT TASTE?

It is a sparkling water that comes in two flavors: Sparkling Orange Mango and Sparkling Lemon Lime.

Both have no sugar or artificial sweeteners and contain ten calories a serving.

Good Idea The Swedish Sugar Buster in Sparkling Mango Orange Flavor

 

Good Idea The Swedish Sugar Buster in Sparkling Lemon Lime

 

Refreshing citrus tastes like Lemon, lime, and Orange make Good Idea an enjoyable, sugar-free beverage

MY EXPERIENCE: PUTTING GOOD IDEA TO THE TEST

I typically require plenty of caffeine during the day and often drink an ice-cold Diet Soda at lunch. The problem with this is I have read some studies that indicate you may be saving calories with some Diet Sodas, but your body still thinks it is processing sugar. If you drink a diet drink at mealtime to save calories, then at ten calories, Good Idea is a tasty alternative.

Good Idea comes in single-serve cans so it can be chilled just like a can of soda, so I don’t miss the cold fizzy taste of a carbonated drink.

I like the Mango Orange which is lightly sweet with a smoother mango taste, but really like the Lemon-lime, which is tart, lightly tangy and less sweet. There is no artificial, acidic or chemical taste or weird aftertaste. It is refreshingly flavorful for a sparkling water, especially when chilled, so I don’t miss having a soda when I drink a Good Idea.

THE PIZZA TEST

With a pizza or with a burger and fries, I almost always make it worse and have a soda. I know it’s bad for me.

As these are both high carb meals, they tend to lead to an afternoon energy crash that often makes me need another soda or coffeehouse coffee and snack to stay energized, and these often contain even more carbs and sugar. So for my weekly pizza lunch treat, I tried a well-chilled Good Idea Sparkling Lemon Lime instead of a diet soda. I didn’t miss the soda and did notice that with the Good Idea I didn’t feel as tired after I ate and didn’t feel an afternoon energy slump that required repeated carb loading to get through the day. My energy felt more even and constant without the need to re-binge on carbs.

The high carb nature of lunch of pizza can leave one sluggish during the workday

UNEXPECTED SUGAR & CARB FILLED EVENTS

Going to a party with too many tempting treats? Don’t miss out on all the fun when you can just drink Good Idea. The can itself is thin, so it can fit into your bag and as it just looks like regular sparkling water, you can enjoy yourself without the guilt. Good Idea also works when consumed after a meal, and it can be consumed alone just as a refreshing beverage.

Sugary, carb-laden snacks are everywhere, especially this time of year

I sometimes go to the vending machine, coffeehouse, cafeteria, restaurant or food court with the full intent of making healthy choices, and somehow things derail. Or maybe there is an unexpected celebration with cake that you feel compelled to eat not to hurt someone’s feelings. Keeping a spare Good Idea on hand at work helps me keep my carb and sugar load in check even when I have an unexpected high-carb day.

Do impulse cute confections such as these little bear cake pops unexpectedly break your diet or exceed your daily carb limit?  Drinking a Good Idea with your meals that day can help decrease the excess carb and sugar load your body experiences when you indulge.

This is not to say that Good Idea is a free pass to eat whatever you want with no consequences. But realistically, the best of us flub up sometimes when it comes to healthy eating. Often we don’t always have the time or energy to make the healthiest meal choice.  You may often opt for low carb zoodles over high-carb pasta, but it requires planning to shop and prep to make zoodles verses the fast and easy pasta night.  It happens sometimes, and Good Idea can help reduce the impact of less-than-ideal menu choices or fast and easy food. If a high carb meal like pasta or pizza or fries is your favorite, it’s tough to stick to a healthier way of eating when you feel you must give your favorite food up forever. Good Idea allows for a planned or unexpected indulgence, which makes a diet or healthy lifestyle change more workable.

No time to make low-carb pasta alternatives like Zoodles? Good Idea can help

ABOUT THE RESEARCH BEHIND GOOD IDEA

Good Idea is based on years of research at Lund University, a leading Nordic university and a center for healthy food inventions. They initially discovered that a certain combination of amino acids beneficially influenced the blood sugar rise following a meal. Backed by repeated clinical studies, Good Idea™ – the Swedish Sugar Buster was created.

Good Idea is backed by research at the Antidiabetic Food Centre at the renowned Lund University

CONCLUSION

Many of us enjoy a flavored Sparkling Water with a meal, Good Idea saves a carb-laden meal or sugary snack from being a dietary disaster. Drink one with a meal, or if you go to a restaurant or a friends house for dinner, you can drink it afterward and still get the blood sugar regulating effects. Both flavors provide safe and tasty health benefits to save the body from undue stress due to high sugar or fast carbs, including weight gain and inflammation. It also keeps a sugar rush or carb energy boost from causing a energy crash, which is ideal for regulating energy during a work day when one is often forced into a fast food meal or a sandwich lunch. Tasty and flavorful, with only ten calories per serving, you won’t miss soda or sugary sparkling waters while helping your body naturally support healthy blood sugar levels.

Sweetflexx: Resistance Band Leggings for on the Go Fitness

· 6 Comments

I was headed to the gym last week, but it was such a gorgeous day down here at Yale that I just wanted to take a walk. Thanks to Sweetflexx Leggings, I didn’t have to choose!

Sweetflexx Leggings look like regular leggings, but they have a secret: resistance bands built into the legs to provide resistance with every step. You don’t feel it, but it adds up: The John B Pierce Sports Lab at Yale University found that by wearing Sweetflexx, you burn more calories and improve body composition. It’s like using resistance bands at the gym all day!

Sweetflexx leggings are attractive and comfortable when standing, walking and sitting while they provide a resistance workout

 

Sweetflexx looks and feel like regular leggings but holds a secret…they have hidden resistance bands for gentle resistance training on your legs as you move in them during the day.

Anywhere you might wear leggings is fine for Sweetflexx, and it turns a regular day into a workout day

SWEETFLEXX DESIGN AESTHETIC

Once you have them on, they look like regular leggings with a bit of a ruched design element. I like how they go with my casual clothes for museums, library days, shopping, sightseeing and attending classes.

The ruched look of these leggings appears like a design element but it is actually a high-resistance band that creates an exercise routine out of everyday activities like running errands, sightseeing, shopping, or walking around campus

I like how they look with my casual clothes and they are comfortable

 

Wear them anywhere you would wear regular leggings,  but Sweetflexx offers a workout while you sit, walk, stand, bend and go about your regular activities.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND SWEETFLEXX LEGGINGS

Yale University’s renowned The John B Pierce Sports Lab of Physiology and Health studied how the integrated resistance band technology in Sweetflexx leggings impacted the calories burned and muscle training that occurs when wearing the leggings both in regular activities (such as walking, sitting, doing chores, grocery shopping, caring for small children) and during periods of gym exercise. For both intended and incidental exercise of muscles, the Sweetflexx technology enabled muscles to work more effectively, leading to better body composition, meaning more muscle to best optimize performance and health. It also resulted in burning more calories and improving tone. Calorie loss for a 121-pound woman was documented at an extra 255 calories a day just by wearing the leggings.

A portion of the study stated “If an individual wears these leggings over a period of several days, and does not change exercise or diet habits, he or she will be in negative energy balance, and is likely to lose weight.”

The seamlessly integrated resistance bands provide a small force for each step or movement. The resistance level is small, but over the course of the day, it adds up.

SWEETFLEXX:  Resistance leggings backed by Yale University caliber research

PUTTING SWEETFLEXX TO THE TEST: MY OWN EXPERIENCE

You are probably wondering, can leggings really create a workout out of regular, everyday activities? And if they do offer resistance, will they be too difficult to walk in? While I have used resistance bands, I just couldn’t envision how Sweetflexx could work and still be comfortable until I tried it. I was surprised to see how much of a difference it made.

Sweetflexx leggings come wrapped in a bow!

They were not uncomfortable to wear, I could stand, sit, bend, and do regular activities wearing them without any difficulty. They truly feel like regular, comfortable leggings! Unlike some leggings, they are not too sheer, even when worn outside or in bright light.

The Ruched pattern on the Sweetflexx leggings holds built-in resistance bands

 

Closeup of the leggings:  ruched design outside resistance bands inside

The next day, I was sore like after leg day at the gym. Have you ever heard how rollerblading engages muscles you don’t use in any other sport or activity? It was the same with Sweetflexx, lots of small muscle groups I must miss at the gym between cardio and weights, but I could feel them after wearing Sweetflexx, as if I exercised just by casually walking around at a leisurely pace.

It was not cumbersome to walk or sit or move around in the Sweetflexx leggings, my range of motion was not at all impaired by them.

I was surprised how the Sweetflexx leggings turn everyday activities like walking up a small staircase into a leg toning workout!

SWEETFLEXX FIT

Sweetflexx appears small coming out the package, putting them on is a bit more effort than slipping on standard leggings, more like getting into a Spanx on steroids type of support garments than effortless sweats. But the first time, it took a minute to figure out how to put them on, more like how one properly gathers the leg when putting on a pair of Wolford hose rather than how one might haphazardly throw on a pair of sweats. After the first time, they seemed to conform to me a bit and it wasn’t a struggle to put them on after that.

If you are between sizes, I recommend ordering one size up. Once they were on, they felt really comfortable.

WEARING SWEETFLEXX WALKING AROUND THE CITY AND YALE CAMPUS

Yale University is a campus within a city, which means lots and lots of walking. So I wore the Sweetflexx leggings around campus to test them out for myself. The resistance is not so strong so as to cause difficulty walking or impair range of motion. I could take my normal strides while walking with ease, and walking at a fast clip, carrying a heavy bag, lifting, or climbing stairs all felt normal while I did them.

Wearing Sweetflexx leggings today while taking a popular Yale student shortcut between the buildings behind Woolsey Hall

By wearing Sweetflexx, I improve tone and burn calories even during otherwise low-impact activities

Walking around Yale’s expansive campus

 

Wear them while sightseeing or at a museum, walking to work, to the library or class or anywhere else that you might normally wear leggings

Wear Sweetflexx for a daily walk or running errands. Even gentle, leisurely walking such as an outside stroll or browsing boutiques or museums burns calories and improves muscle tone

 

Wear them while traveling, commuting or while going to classes

 

Watching the sunset in the city after a day of walking in Sweetflexx leggings.

A day walking in the Sweetflexx and I still feel good!

CONCLUSION

Sweetflexx Leggings address a common problem many busy women have: we can’t always get to the gym as often as we may like. And when we do get to exercise, we may not know how to optimize our program.  While we don’t recommend NOT exercising, there are times that you just can’t fit regular exercise into your daily routine: you are busy with caring for a young family, you sustained a sports injury or you’re sick, you’re busy with work or final exams, on vacation, snowed in or whatever other reasons, sometimes getting to the gym regularly is just impossible. But most of us spend time on our feet each day during our regular activities, so why not turn those days into a resistance workout?

Clinically proven to burn calories and improve muscle tone, Sweetflexx leggings are comfortable, look and feel like regular leggings, and turn a regular day of activity into a leg workout day!

ORGANIC AT-HOME SPA NIGHT: Handmade, Organic Bath Bombs GIFT SET by Bombozi

· 12 Comments

Nothing beats a relaxing soak in the tub, which is in part, why Bath Bombs, A.K.A. “Fizzies”, are so popular. A great gift for moms, sisters, friends, and yourself, Bath Bombs are delightful to receive. There are three problems with bath bombs, however, some contain harsh chemicals you may not wish to bathe in, bath bombs can be pricey and they often come at the price of lots of post-bath clean-up. None of these is an issue with the organic Bath Bombs by Bombozi. Enriched with essential oils and softening Shea Butter, you will feel safe using or giving Bombozi Bath Bombs as you’ll recognize every ingredient listed on the gift box.

QUALITY

Despite the affordable price point, these are luxury quality bath bombs, I find them comparable to those sold at $10+ per bomb at specialty shops, but they do not contain ingredients that can stain the tub or leave a residue on the skin.

Note the subtle natural shimmer and texture of the bomb, but it does not stain the tub or leave a ring of residue

CRUELTY-FREE

The bath-bombs are cruelty-free. Bombozi does not test on animals, and each bomb is produced without exploitation of people or planet. You can, however, be comfortable using them, as the ingredients are clearly listed on the packaging and are known to be safe even for sensitive skin.

HOW TO USE THE BATH BOMBS BY BOMBOZI

  1. Fill the bathtub at least halfway with warm running water. Add one bath bomb into the running water.
  2. Let it dissolve in water. Crumble it by hand if you wish to make it dissolve faster, or watch it spin around the tub creating fuzzy foam!
  3. Get in and relax!
  4. Each bath bomb will last for about 10-20 before maximum moisturizing benefits are derived.
  5. Towel dry and massage in the moisturizing effects left on the skin.

Add one bath bomb to warm running water, let it dissolve and then soak in the tub for 10 – 20 minutes for maximum skin-softening

PUTTING THE BATH BOMBS BY BOMBOZI TO THE TEST: MY EXPERIENCE

I must say, these Bath Bombs really bring it!  While I prefer all natural, organic Bath Bombs, realistically, many of them just don’t have the fizzy, colorful “bomb” capabilities that bath bombs with chemicals can create. But these bombs put on a show! I dropped it in the water and it fizzed and spun around for a good 7-8 minutes, and the water had a beautiful color, foam, and scent!  See the video at the end of this post to watch a Bath Bomb by Bombozi in action!

Lovely swirls of foam and fizz!

 

The end of the Bomb and it is still going strong and fizzy with swirling lace patterns of colorful foam

I found the bath bombs to be highly moisturizing to my skin, even the rough dry skin on the cuticles, feet, knees, and elbows, but I did not feel greasy and the tub was not left slippery or with a residue. The ingredients were all gentle but effective.

Each bomb has a scent that lasts through the bath experience without being hit-you-in-the-face overpowering, it is scented just enough. although I did not find that it lingered on my skin afterward, which I prefer.

While you can use more than one bath bomb if you desire, there really is no need as one gets the job done to leave skin smooth and soft and to give the water that relaxing fizzy feeling. Some potential combinations might be combining the Vanilla with the Lavender, Coconut, Mandarin or Sandalwood, for example.

An enjoyable indulgence that helps me unwind before bed, I really like that there is no need to scrub away a post-bath bomb debris film off the tub after use like many bath bombs tends to leave. For me, having to scrub out the tub after a bath takes away all the relaxation.

I also like that I can identify every ingredient in the bath bomb so it feels safe to soak in and not expose my skin to unnecessary chemicals when all natural organic ingredients can safely make my skin soft and be just as relaxing.

All natural ingredients you can trust for using on yourself or as a gift

CONCLUSION

A universally appreciated gift by women of all ages, this gift box is ready for gift giving for yourself or a friend to reinvigorate, cleanse, moisturize and rejuvenate skin, leaving it naturally soft and smooth with no post-bath clean up to ruin the relaxing effects. Each scented, organic, handmade bath bomb is cruelty-free. Don’t feel guilty treating yourself to a DIY spa night to recharge and reset, as these bath bombs come at an excellent price point, making them a no guilt in an indulgence that won’t break the bank.

Skincare for Busy Moms

· Leave a Comment

Moms take care of everyone but themselves. It is easy to allow oneself to get into a bad pattern of not properly caring for skin because it can be time-consuming and expensive to buy an eye cream, an anti-aging treatment, an acne treatment, and a daily moisturizer. But it is important for Moms to take time for themselves to care for their skin. Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer is a one-step product to treat and moisturize skin on the face, the eyes, and throat so even the busiest Moms can fit a skin care program into their day.

Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer provides fast, effective one-step skin care for busy Moms who are short on time

Caring for your skin in your twenties and thirties is very important. It is much easier to schedule an at-home spa night when there is no family to care for, but as soon as there are kids, all personal beauty rituals take a back seat. While it may be a very difficult time to buy out a few minutes to take care of the skin, a Mom needs good skin care the most, especially new moms. Post-Pregnancy hormones can lead to acne and brown spots. Rapid weight gain and loss leads to stretch marks and sagging skin. Many new Moms are so busy and tired that they can’t even begin to think of pre-empting signs of aging, but now is when they occur. You take the time to moisturize your skin after washing your face, why not make that moisturizer count for your short-term and long-term beauty needs?

ONE STEP SKIN CARE

Lordsbury Retinol+C contains the holy grail of skin care: a 2.5% prescription grade pure Retinol paired with 20% Vitamin C serum. This powerful combo addresses whatever may be wrong with your skin: acne, aging, sun damage, discoloration, sagging, loss of collagen, scars, uneven texture and tone. It is also paired with highly emollient natural moisturizers including Hyaluronic Acid, Shea Butter, and Aloe Vera. You get an eye, throat and face cream all in one. It leaves skin with a dewy but not sticky finish that looks good enough that you may choose to skip wearing foundation entirely. Retinol gently exfoliates skin over time, so there is no need to use abrasive scrubs, masks or peels. Retinol and Vitamin C both treat acne. There are no extra steps with Lordsbury, just wash your face, apply Lordsbury and your choice of sunscreen, and that is all your skin needs!

Tempted to use whatever all-purpose moisturizer you find at the drug store or something basic like coconut oil? This may seem the most economical choice, but it does not meet the needs of the skin of a Mom.

Just a small dollop of Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer provides the power of retinol, Vitamin C, and rich moisturizing cream suitable for the eyes, face and neck, fast, easy and effective!

WHY MOMS NEEDS EXTRA TLC FOR THEIR SKIN

Pregnancy does a toll on the skin, leaving behind stretch marks, brown spots, acne, and hyperpigmentation left from “pregnancy mask”. Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer contains both Vitamin C and Retinol that addresses all of these problems. Getting stretch marks? Nip them in the bud with Lordsbury’s combination of Retinol and Shea Butter to treat and reduce their appearance.

Being a Mom is a whole new level of tired, and for those who are returning to work, many are concerned about looking their best or at least looking half-awake. Proper skin care goes a long way towards looking well rested even if you are not. Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer gives such clear, even skin that you may completely forgo foundation.

FAKE LOOKING AWAKE WHEN YOUR TIRED TIPS: Curl the eyelashes for a wide-awake look, add your favorite lipstick for a pop of color. Pink-based blushes look more “alert” than yellow-based. A good anti-redness eye drop can do wonders, especially if you keep it in the refrigerator overnight.

NO DRY DOWN TIME

Part of what makes elaborate skin care routines time consuming is waiting for products to dry down before applying the next product. Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer absorbs so quickly that sunscreen or makeup can be applied on top immediately.

NATURAL INGREDIENTS

Now that one has a family, the concern for what we put in our body and on our skin becomes all the more important. Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer contains organic and natural ingredients including Shea Butter, Organic Aloe Vera, Wildcrafted Green Tea, Sunflower Oil, and Jojoba Oil.

COST EFFECTIVE

Spending money on oneself can feel selfish for a Mom, there are so many things that need to be done around the house and for the kids. Lordsburys Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer is a beauty regimen that won’t break the bank. For less than the cost of a manicure, it is the best deal around for a moisturizer, 20% Vitamin C serum, 2.5% Retinol, an eye cream all in one. Even just an eye cream at 2.8 ounces would often cost more than this effective combo! I really like that it serves as a cream for my eyes, face, and throat all in one product. And at this large 2.8-ounce size, it is big enough that using it on stretch marks is still more cost effective than buying separate DIY stretch mark home remedies. It is also more cost effective as it pre-empts acne and the more costly associated skin care products that are required to treat it.

CONCLUSION

Moms have enough to deal with in their hectic day without worrying about extra skin care steps. Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer is just one step to moisturize, treat acne and wrinkles, improve skin texture, gently exfoliate, and to help build collagen and keep skin looking bright and fresh. You can apply makeup or sunscreen directly over Lordsbury almost immediately because there is no dry down time and it won’t cause makeup to streak or run. It leaves a nice subtle dewy finish suitable for skipping foundation entirely. Made with natural ingredients, it is ideal for treating post-pregnancy acne breakouts and hyperpigmentation.
