MY EXPERIENCE: PUTTING ELAJ TO THE TEST

I’ve two near-constant dry skin issues: my almost always chapped lips and my ever-dry cuticles.

  • DRY LIPS: My lips have been dry since I was a kid. I’ve tried everything from drugstore to high-end boutique counter products (READ: slathering CREME DE LA MER concentrate on my lips). I’ve done Pinterest recommended remedies like black tea bags on the lips and Coconut Oils and other treatments.
  • CUTICLES: Even if I use gel lined gloves, my cuticles never look good. I have even consulted my dermatologist over recommended products for my cuticles. If I slather my hands with Coconut Oil at night, by the afternoon staff meeting, my cuticles are red and peeling and dry all over again.

While some things work better than others, nothing gives me smooth lips or non-irritated cuticles for a full day, especially when exposed to dry air in my office.

APPLICATION
The emollient is thick but softens to smoothly and evenly spread into a thin layer when held between the fingers (similar to the Creme de la Mer creme emulsion process). It looks like a thicker “Bag Balm” or Vaseline consistency, but it is not greasy once worked between the fingers for a minute.

ElAJ is thick but spreadable and not greasy

  • CUTICLES: To apply it to my cuticles, I softening it and rubbed into directly into my cuticles and into the nail beds all around the nail and on a few rougher spots on my knuckles.
  • LIPS: For my lips, I applied ELAJ directly onto my lips. I massaged it in, and much of the dead skin sloughed off. I applied a second light coat before going to bed. My lips were smooth in the morning, not chapped. I sometimes get cracks on the side of my lips, these felt a bit different after application, slightly numb, and in the morning the crack was healed without a rough skin patch as normally appears.
  • ELAJ VERSES VASELINE TEST:  As a third test, I applied ELAJ to the rough heel on my left foot, and straight vaseline on my right foot overnight. In the morning, the hardened skin on my left foot was soft as if I had exfoliated it off and it stayed that way for several days. My Vaseline covered foot was softer to the touch, but the hard skin remains hardened.
How to apply ELAJ

Apply ELAJ generously and allow 5 minutes to absorb

CONCLUSION

ELAJ is a  very useful, all-natural, all-purpose emollient that tackles multiple skin needs, it is safe and effective for eczema treatment and can be worn with makeup on the face.  ELAJ stops the itching of psoriasis and eczema, allowing skin to breathe while still providing a protective coating. A natural SPF lip gloss and makeup remover, keeping the two-ounce size ELAJ in your bag is a great multi-tasker when traveling.

Health: CBDPure 600 mg Organic Hemp Oil

February 27, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Hemp is becoming a popular ingredient in recipes and supplements. But it is crucial to get a quality formula like CBDPure 600 mg Organic Hemp Oil.

So let’s get one thing out of the way first: if you are considering taking any supplement, talk to your doctor. Also, don’t self-diagnose a problem, as it could be something more serious.

CBDPure 600 mg Organic Hemp Oil has a nutty flavor

BENEFITS OF HEMP OIL

That said, a superior formula of Hemp Oil has many health benefits. Hemp Oil isn’t a psychotropic substance, and you won’t get high off of it. If you are a regular peruser of GOOP recipes, you know that Hemp Milk is quite popular, and contains many nutrients that promote health. The same holds true for Hemp Oil. It is high in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. It is also high in Vitamins A, E, and D.

CBDPure’s website has several testimonials from people who found that aches and pains went away when they started using the product. While Hemp Oil is available without a prescription in the United States, many other countries recognize it as a medicine for pain, rather than a supplement, which is how it is recognized in the USA. It will be interesting to see if Hemp Oil achieves the same medicine status in the United States at some point.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH CBDPURE

TASTE:

CBDPure 600 mg Organic Hemp Oil has a slightly nutty flavor that kind of reminds me of walnuts.

HOW TO TAKE CDBPURE ORGANIC HEMP OIL:

The dosage per use is one mL (about 1/2 a dropper full). It is taken twice a day. It can be taken more as needed, but twice a day will meet your Omega needs, even if you do not otherwise consume fish or fish products.

You take it orally, putting it under the tongue and holding it there for about 60 seconds, and then swallowing it. The nutty flavor makes it extremely tolerable, a far tastier way to get nutrients than from Fish Oil! There is no unpleasant aftertaste.

Suggested use for CBDPure 600 mg Organic Hemp Oil

OUR TAKE

CBDPure 600 mg Organic Hemp Oil is a high-grade hemp oil that can offer benefits to body, hair, brain and skin. Ideal for those who may lack necessary the essential Omegas due to dietary choices or restrictions, Hemp Oil can meet this health supplement need in a tasty, easy to take form. Perfect for those who have difficulty swallowing pills, taking Hemp Oil under the tongue is easy and pleasant tasting with no aftertaste.

Talk to your doctor about this great supplement to see if it is the right way for you to get necessary nutrients to function optimally!

How to get smooth feet: UTILYZE Electronic Foot File

January 17, 2017 · 2 Comments

There are many callus removal and rough foot skin treatments including salon treatments, chemical concoctions, and even garra rufa, a fish pedicure where fish eat the dead skin off the feet! But smooth, callus-free feet are easily achieved at home with the right tool. We like the Utilyze Electronic Foot File, a powerful, rechargeable device for quickly and easily getting soft, callus-free feet with smooth, flake-free heels.

Utilize Electronic Foot File

Utilize Electronic Foot File

 

SPRING’S ALMOST HERE: TURN FANGLY FEET INTO PRETTY PIGGIES NOW
In winter, it’s easy to hide less-than-glamourous rough and dry feet in warm, thick socks and forgiving, snuggly boots. But as of this writing, spring is only two months away, and foot-flaunting open-back shoes and sandals come with it. And if a vacation to a warm weather locale is in your immediate future, getting your feet smooth and callus-free is a priority.

Utilize Electronic Foot File

Utilize Electronic Foot File

 

TESTING THE UTILYZE ELECTRONIC FOOT FILE

I charged the device for eight hours before use; it plugs in by the included USB port charger. Once the light turns green, it is ready for use. I went to work on my callus and cringe-worthy dry heels.

I am frequently barefoot at home and have calluses on the outer side of my big toes. I tend to procrastinate on removing these calluses because it’s tediously time-consuming filing away with sanding file sticks or pumices, and the results are often just okay despite filing until my arm gets too tired. But the removal process is simple with the Utilyze Electronic Foot File. I used the File two ways by doing one big toe callus completely dry and the other big toe callus after soaking my foot to soften the callus. Both worked very well.

 

Utilize Electronic Foot File

Utilize Electronic Foot File

 

Some things I especially appreciated:

1) POWERFUL: Utilyze Electronic Foot File is a very powerful callus remover, but if you press the roller too hard to the skin, the motor stops. I like this feature so that the skin itself does not get damaged and there is no burning sensation from overuse.
2) EASY GRIP: It is very easy to grip and to use, my hand and arm do not get tired when using it.
3) FAST RESULTS: It is much quicker than using a manual file or pumice with far superior results
4) SAFETY: It is safer and more sanitary than other means of callus removal such as razors or grinders that cut the skin. It is CE international safety standards approved.
5) COMFORTABLE TO USE: It doesn’t feel hot to the touch during use, and it isn’t painful or uncomfortable to remove the dead skin.
6) EASY TO USE: With a manual sander or pumice stone, I used a lot of “elbow grease” to get the job done. But this device just requires a light, gentle glide over the skin. There is no need to rub or scrub, press or push the roller into the skin; the device does all the work.
7) LONG-LASTING CHARGE: So far the one charge has lasted through a few sessions and has retained the same level of power.

RESULTS:

Utilyze Electronic Foot File made quick work of smoothing my heels; that happened quickly in a few minutes. The callus removal I did in two sessions, using the fine roller. Not being familiar with the device at first, I didn’t know if the skin could use a rest, but it probably could’ve been done in one session. So far, the calluses have not returned, and my feet stay smooth after a very quick treatment. I also lightly glided it over the soles of my feet and toes to remove general dead skin.

The results were better than I got from the decadent foot soak and pedicure treatment that came with a full spa day of beauty pampering at a very expensive salon. As relaxing as a spa foot treatment can be, I prefer having my own filing device to eliminate any risk of infection.

I was also surprised at *how* much dead skin exfoliated so quickly into a fine powdery dust, so make sure to use the device somewhere it is easy to clean up afterward or drape a towel, drape cloth or old newspapers under your feet.

Utilize Electronic Foot File

BOX CONTENTS:
The device comes boxed with the rechargeable file itself, instructions, a USB port charger, one fine roller and two coarse rollers, a roller cover cap, and a cleaning brush. The color choices are red or black.

Replacement rollers are available at Amazon when they eventually need to be replaced, but they are pretty solid and clean up well.

 

Utilize Electronic Foot File

CONSTRUCTION:
The device is well constructed with sturdy materials; it is suitable for professional use. There are no loose or shoddy parts. I like that it’s rechargeable so that it is a sealed device instead of requiring batteries. It comes with a three-year warranty program.

It is easy to switch out the roller heads by pressing the button on the side which releases the current roller.

 

Utilize Electronic Foot File

Utilize Electronic Foot File

CLEANING THE DEVICE:
There is a small brush included in the kit to remove any dry skin dust debris from small crevices, and the roller quickly washed off under a running faucet.

CONCLUSION:
The Utilyze Electronic Foot File is a very powerful callus remover, suitable for men and women that gets the job done!

It is an easy, enjoyable beauty treatment that provides instant gratification of smooth, softer foot skin. It smoothes tough callused feet to as soft as silk.

Unlike hand-held foot files, The Utilyze Electronic Foot File gives very effective results and leaves my feet soft enough to ensure against snagging expensive hosiery or trouser socks. It also leaves feet smooth enough to go bare foot or wear strappy sandals. Better results than I got at the spa!

Era Organics Cleanse + Restore Natural Face & Body Cleanser

December 12, 2016 · 2 Comments

Do you know the pH of your cleanser? Surprisingly, most facial cleansers are a harsh 10 pH, whereas your skin is 5.5 pH. This pH difference can lead to unnecessary skin dryness and a “tight” skin feeling after cleansing. Era Organics Cleanse + Restore Natural Face & Body Cleanser is a cleanser that matches your skin’s pH of 5.5. That means hydrated, dewy and balanced skin.

 

Era Organics Cleanse + Restore Natural Face & Body Cleanser

Era Organics Cleanse + Restore Natural Face & Body Cleanser

 

ABOUT CLEANSE + RESTORE CLEANSER

Era Organics Cleanse + Restore is perfect for sensitive skin, aging skin, dry skin, or acquired skin sensitivity due to topical products such as Vitamin C, Retinol, AHA, dermabrasion or peels. It is gentle enough for delicate facial skin, yet the organic ingredients like Aloe Vera and Manuka Honey are powerful enough to cleanse the body as well.

It is hypoallergenic, as well as paraben and sulfate-free.

INGREDIENTS

Era Organics Restore & Cleanse contains high-quality organic ingredients like Manuka Honey, Cehami and Aloe Vera to optimize your complexion.

MANUKA HONEY: Manuka Honey (Leptospermum Scoparium) has amazing healing, protecting and hydrating properties. It fights free radicals and is an anti-aging secret to boosting collagen production and cellular regeneration. Manuka Honey works best when combined with hydration, making Manuka Honey within a facial cleanser an ideal combination.

Manuka Honey is monofloral honey obtained from the antibacterial and antifungal tea tree. This gives it natural antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties to heal skin conditions. It is an especially helpful ingredient within a facial wash for acne and eczema suffers. This also makes it a very suitable cleanser for those who suffer from psoriasis, dermatitis, wounds, burns, insect bites, rosacea, stretch marks, and sunburn. Manuka Honey is also known to kill Strep, Staph, and MRSA, which makes Era Organics Cleanse + Restore an ideal body wash for use after a workout at the gym, Pilates or Yoga Studio.

CEHAMI (Centipeda Cunninghamii) is a powerful humectant, filling the skin with moisture. It is an extract from a kind of daisy flower in the Australian outback. Research indicates it works as an effective anti-itch analgesic, an anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and cellular regeneration accelerant. Cehami makes skin look healthier and younger.

ORGANIC ALOE VERA BARBADENSIS GEL: Aloe Vera is known for its’ ability to soothe minor burns, scrapes, and heal the skin. It provides nourishment to the skin as it contains Vitamins A, C, Bs, and E as well as minerals and enzymes. This skin “food” heals, hydrates, accelerates skin cell growth and provides anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. This is important in a cleanser as dry and dead skin cells are washed away, and new skin is exposed.

MY EXPERIENCE USING ERA ORGANICS CLEANSE + RESTORE

The cleanser has a luxurious lather and no scent, which are fantastic features if fragrance irritates your skin. It rinsed off quickly and cleanly with no residue or film on my skin, yet my skin felt soft and was not “tight,” even on sensitive areas of my face like my cheeks.

I especially like using Cleanse + Restore on my face and hands. I like using it as a facial wash because my already sensitive skin is made more sensitive by topical treatments such as Vitamin C serum, but this facial wash did not leave my skin feeling dry or raw, it did not sting or irritate. My skin felt soft and supple after use. I used it both as a manual face wash (massaging it in with my hands) and with my oscillating facial brush device, and both methods left my skin smooth, soft and hydrated without dryness or irritation.

I wash my hands very frequently each day, and they tend to get raw and at times red, particularly on the knuckles, cuticles, and joints. Cleanse + Restore is a soothing wash to my hands that does not cause any irritation but keeps me free from bacteria, germs, and viruses.

Era Organics Cleanse + Restore Natural Face & Body Cleanser

 

WHY WE RECOMMEND IT

The combination of ingredients in Era Organics Cleanse + Restore Natural Face & Body Cleanser is a super combo of hydrating yet healing, softening yet cleansing, gentle but effective pairings that are suitable for both face and body. I love that it has such a nice lather yet it does not strip my skin of moisture because it is pH balanced to my skin. I also really like that there is no scent at all – not just no perfumey fragrance covering over a chemical product scent – but no aroma. The lather feels gentle but cleanses well on the face, body, and hands. I am happy to find a cleanser like this for travel and especially for the gym for my post-workout shower, so I can wash my face and body with the same cleanser to both protect and hydrate my skin.

HOME SPA TOOLS: Utilyze 10-in-1 Professional Manicure & Pedicure Set

December 9, 2016 · Leave a Comment

Well-groomed nails are an important part of your beauty and style routine. But regular salon manicures are time-consuming and costly. While some salon service results cannot be duplicated as well when done at home, a quality manicure & pedicure set makes an at-home manicure an easy job to do yourself. A professional set we like is the Utilyze Professional 10-in-1 Manicure & Pedicure Set.

Utilize 10-in-1 Professional Manicure & Pedicure Set

Utilize 10-in-1 Professional Manicure & Pedicure Set

ABOUT THE SET
In addition to the main unit, the set comes with six attachment heads and a detectable protector shield. There is a zipper pouch case to hold all the pieces together safely. The unit itself has a detachable cold LED light that makes it easy to see the areas to work, especially for toes. The adaptor has a spiral cord that makes it easy to maneuver while in use. There is an on/off switch and the attachment heads snap in quickly and securely.

TECHNICAL FEATURES:
* Progressive 10-Speed Motor with easy-access (+) and (-) buttons
* Touch Control one-handed on/off switch
* Clockwise and Counter-Clockwise Rotation
* Over-Pressure Auto Stop Sensor (safe for diabetics or those with sensitive skin healing disorders)

MY EXPERIENCE USING THE UTILYZE PROFESSIONAL 10-in-1 MANICURE & PEDICURE SET 

COMFORTABLE TO USE
The unit was easy to use, and none of the attachments were uncomfortable or painful to use, and the buffer did not feel too warm or harsh on the nails. The pressure of each head was effective but comfortable.

FAST BUT SAFE
These are professional grade and work very quickly. I like the Over-Pressure auto stop, so I don’t press down too hard and damage the nail or skin, and it is very useful if your hand accidentally slips and you unintentionally use the file on healthy skin. I slipped while using it once, and it stopped automatically, which is a nice feature.

NO OVERBUFFING
A problem I have had with some nail files and buffers is they over buff the nail, leaving it weak and damaged. My nails felt strong after using this unit.

TIP: When using each attachment head, remember to keep the unit or your fingernail in motion so as not to over-file or buff any one area, especially when using the sander, the rough shaping disk, and the cone attachments.

AN OVERVIEW OF USING THE ATTACHMENT HEADS

The SAPPHIRE CALLUS SANDER is for treating thick calluses and hardened skin on feet and hands. It is not too scratchy but gets the job done without irritation on any hardened, rough skin such as on the heels of the feet. It is much easier and faster to use this sander attachment on feet than to use a traditional pumice stone and the results are far better.

Utilize 10-in-1 Professional Manicure & Pedicure Set Sapphire Callus Sander

The FELT POLISH CONE smooths and polishes the nails, similar to a nail buffer. What I especially like about this cone is it gives a beautiful natural shine and surface to the nails, but it does not over-buff or burn. I have damaged my nails with other buffers that are too abrasive; this just gives a nice even surface and sheen to the nail without damaging the nail itself. Suitable for use by both men and women, nails can have a light natural, healthy sheen or a high-gloss shine if preferred.

The CYLINDRICAL MILLING CUTTER grinds down thick nails, including very thick toenails that regular nail scissors or clippers cannot cut. This head is also useful for those with medical problems that make cutting the nail ill-advised, including diabetes.

The FLAME MILLING CUTTER removes ingrown toenails.

There are two round flathead disks; these are shaping disks for the actual filing and shaping of the nails:

The FINE SAPPHIRE SHAPING DISK files and smooths nails. I used this to file down my nails to an even length, remove snags, and to shape my nails. This disk works fast! Make sure to pay attention, this is NOT like absent-mindedly filing your nails with an emery board type of file, it only takes a few runs over the nail to get it into shape.

This is probably my second favorite attachment head because some of my nails recently broke short and snagged so I am cutting them shorter for a while until they grow strong and longer. This disk-shaped my uneven nails very quickly into a smooth, even shape without snags or peeling layers. I also like that it is easy to groom and shape both sides of the nail evenly on both hands by myself, which is a much more professional look than I can achieve on my own with a manual four in one buffer like I usually used.

The ROUGH SAPPHIRE SHAPING DISK trims and shortens thick nails. This shaping disk is very useful for men who wish to keep thicker nails in presentable condition, as well for women who want to file down their nails before growing them out long and healthy. This disk is also a very quick working file to remove nail length quickly and evenly without causing shreds or breaking. TIP: For both disks, try to keep the nail towards the outer edge of the circle so as not to hit the nail on the center of the head.

I used this attachment on my toenails to shape them evenly. I liked that they were rounded and shaped in a more professional and prettier way than I could do with nail scissors or cuticles and filing with an emery board.

 

Utilize 10-in-1 Professional Manicure & Pedicure Set Rough Shaping Disk

The SAPPHIRE CONE is used to remove hard and dry skin. I used it around my nail on overgrown, dry cuticles and some rough skin on the sides of my nail. As seen in the video, it quickly sands down dry skin into a fine powder that can washes off clean. My skin was not red or irritated after use and almost all of the dead skin was removed with irritation or skin damage.

The DETACHABLE PROTECTOR can be used with any attachment head to catch the dead skin or nail debris. I found this particularly useful with the dead skin removal attachment heads so as not to have a fine powder of removed skin dispersed into the air.

 

Utilize 10-in-1 Professional Manicure & Pedicure Set Sapphire Cone

Utilize 10-in-1 Professional Manicure & Pedicure Set Sapphire Cone & Detachable Protector

 

MY STANDARD MANICURE & PEDICURE PREP WITH THE UNIT
I used the Fine Sapphire Shaping Disk and the Felt Polish Cone to prep for a nail polish change or to leave my nails bare. For toenails and fingernails that have become very misshapen, I use the Rough Sapphire Shaping Disk first, then the Fine Shaping Disk and Felt Polish Cone. On toes, I also do a quick treatment with the Sapphire Cone attachment to remove any dead skin, especially on the big toes.

CONCLUSION: Unkempt nails are distracting and unattractive. My DIY manicure skills are not great; the professional results look so much better. Using the Utilyze Professional Manicure & Pedicure Set to file and groom nails into a presentable shape and healthy buffed condition quickly, safely and easily makes nails look so much nicer on both men and women. I like the high-gloss sheen on my nails, even now while I am growing them out, it takes only a few minutes to care for my fingernails and even less time for my toenails. My nails are shiny and smooth and look lovely with or without nail polish!
