· 3 Comments

Review: Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist

Uneven skin tone sneaks up on you. Discoloration from acne scars and photodamage are almost impossible to conceal. Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist does skin-quenching sprays one better by also improving skin tone.
It is packed with antioxidants. It leaves skin supple. Plus the Hesperidin protects collagen and fights photo-damage. And it practically sprays the dark age spots off your face.

Why Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist is Special

For the skin obsessed, discoloration is a particularly irritating problem.

To fade them often requires some skin irritating actives that leave skin parched.

Fortunately, Mad Hippie has a gentle, natural solution.

How Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist treats hyperpigmentation 

Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist is a delightful mist soothes what ails your skin while improving discoloration.

It contains skin goodies like Pomegranate, Gingko Bilboa, Vitamin C, and Hesperidin.

Hesperidin is a skincare workhorse.

We don’t know why more products don’t contain this non-irritating, skin-loving, discoloration fixing, a skin-quenching enhancer that really gets stuff done. 

And check out some of the other ingredients:

The Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist Ingredients

Sweet Orange is rich in collagen-protecting Hesperidin

Sweet Orange is rich in collagen-protecting Hesperidin

Sweet Orange is high in Hesperidin

Sweet Orange is high in Hesperidin

Hesperidin

Hesperidin is a plant flavonoid from citrus fruits like sweet orange and lemon. [1]

  • Hesperidin has been shown to help reduce the appearance of skin discoloration and it inhibits future overproduction of melanin. [2]
  • It is collagen and fibroblast protective and reduces the appearance of sun damage [3].
  • This antioxidant anti-inflammatory soothes the skin. [4]

Sodium PCA

A natural humectant, Sodium PCA binds moisture to the skin dramatically improving skin hydration.

Milk Thistle

Milk Thistle

Milk thistle is about 80% silymarin.

Silymarin is an antioxidant and free radical scavenger. It protects skin and fights signs of aging due to sun damage.

It is used by dermatologists for all kinds of inflammatory skin conditions including acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. [5]

Milk thistle also contains fatty acids, including linoleic acid.

Gingko Biloba

Ginkgo Biloba

A natural ingredient from the maidenhair tree.

Ginkgo Biloba increases blood flow to the skin. Better blood flow means more nutrients are available for skin rejuvenation and collagen production.

Ginkgo Biloba contains high amounts of antioxidants to reduce skin redness and discoloration.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is applied topically for targeted skin-rejuvenation. It is an anti-aging, acne reducing, dark pigmentation fading powerhouse.

C is a building block for collagen, the support structure of the skin. It also fades acne scars and improves sun-damaged skin texture.

Vitamin C reduces wrinkles & discoloration. It pairs marvelously with Hesperidin.

Resveratrol rich blueberries

Resveratrol

Resveratrol is a polyphenol that functions as an antioxidant. It is found in plant-based foods including blueberries, grapes, mulberries, raspberries and peanuts, and red wine.

It is a skincare staple because it reverses aged (senescent) cells to a physically younger, active state. [6]

White Pine Bark

White Pine Bark improves skin hydration and elasticity while decreasing skin fatigue while reducing the appearance of skin discoloration.

Flowering Camellia Sinensis

Flowering Camellia Sinensis or Green Tea

Green Tea

Green Tea feeds and moisturizes the skin, calms irritation and is an excellent antioxidant.

Topical Green Tea application reduce sun damage, decrease collagen breakdown and increase cell regeneration.

Green tea contains polyphenols that may improve sun-damaged skin. [7]

High in Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), green tea is a major player in skin health and appearance. It protects against environmental damage and neutralizes free radicals that prematurely age skin.

Research shows EGCG reactivates dying skin cells.  This shows promise for repairing sun damage and scar healing. [8]

Sodium Hyaluronate

Sodium Hyaluronate is a non-synthesized form of Hyaluronic Acid.

  • It has stronger moisture retention properties than regular Hyaluronic Acid.
  • Sodium Hyaluronate is found naturally and ample supply in young skin, but depletes with age. It moisturizes the skin while reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
  • Sodium Hyaluronate Acid has a lower molecular size compared to other Hyaluronic Acids. This is beneficial because it can absorb deeper into the skin.

Pomegranate Seed Extract

How Pomegranate Benefits Skin on StyleChicks

Pomegranate

Pomegranate Seed Extract is a safe, natural pomegranate based skincare ingredient.

  • Those juicy, jewel-like seeds are arils. Arils are packed with antioxidants, minerals, vitamins A, C, K, and E plus folic and ellagic acids.
  • Pomegranates contain three times the antioxidants of wine or green tea. [9]
  • Pomegranate Seed Extract increases skin barrier formation and improves skin hydration.
  • Also, it delivers impressive collagen-building results.

An Update On Our NEWA Experience

· 2 Comments

We recently interviewed EndyMed, the makers of NEWA. NEWA is an at-home RF device designed to reduce facial sagging. The 3DEEP radiofrequency energy that powers the NEWA is the same medical technology used by clinics and dermatologists. And the Style Chicks are testing NEWA out. Here are our first impressions of NEWA.

NEWA tightens skin and produces collagen

 

Does Using NEWA Hurt?

No. NEWA is not painful: it doesn’t zap, sting or burn.

There is a mild warmth, like getting an ultrasound. We use it on the higher power setting, 2, but there is a lower power setting if needed. Even around the orbital bone, there is no discomfort.

Set the device to power level two for use, but reduce it to level one if you experience any discomfort

 

USING THE NEWA ACTIVATOR GEL

The NEWA device comes with a tube of activator gel.

There is a conduction gel. It is important to use enough gel to be able to smoothly glide the treatment head in circles on the skin without tugging the skin. The amount shown in the instructional video looks like a bit much, but about what I found I needed.

I am doing all the possible treatment areas, so I use more gel than someone treating one area. The gel is reapplied to the treatment head before each section session. At this rate, the gel tube in the kit will last about a month.

Replacement tubes of activator gel tubes are available from NEWA and other beauty vendors like Sephora and Neiman Marcus.

Close up of the NEWA treatment head. Cover all of the metal with gel

 

The Experience

Doing all the treatment areas takes me about half an hour to 40 minutes. It is four minutes per treatment area.

I have slight redness after a treatment, but it is completely gone in about 15 minutes. There is no skin irritation. I can apply my makeup or serums immediately after.

I can see a lift immediately after use, especially on the brow bone area after a forehead treatment. And around my mouth.

I find it is worthwhile to take a few minutes to do NEWA as a spot treatment immediately before makeup. It lifts the area and gives my eyes an alert, perky look and it smooths the lines from my nose to mouth.

Stay tuned for updates and a full report after our initial treatment is completed. Next up, we review the research to understand why NEWA works.

 

Stay Tuned For Updates on Our Results

The Style Chicks are currently using NEWA to treat:

  • Orbital area
  • Upper cheeks
  • Jawline, turkey waddle, and upper throat
  • Lower cheek area and sagging around the mouth
  • Forehead

For the first month, we do 4-5 treatments per week in each area. We found the tips that EndyMed offered in our interview to be very helpful.

ROIL Healthy Hair Masque why we love it

· Leave a Comment

Review: ROIL Healthy Hair Masque
We are big fans of the Luxury Brand ROIL We have raved about the work of ROIL founder, hair guru Amanda George, for years. Meanwhile, my coarse hair has seen some things. Bad things. It needs some serious hair pampering. Fortunately, Amanda George is still busy working hair miracles. We tried the ROIL line of hair products. Today we review ROIL Healthy Hair Masque.
ROIL Healthy Hair Masque

ROIL Healthy Hair Masque

ROIL Healthy Hair MASQUE Overview

We love this masque because it makes damaged hair look good, and healthy hair look fabulous.

ROIL Healthy Hair Masque made Courtney’s silky virgin hair soft, lush and bouncy.

Courtney’s hair is in excellent, healthy condition.

But my coarse, colored hair needs to go to rehab.

ROIL Healthy Hair Masque made my processed hair smooth and soft.

It gave my hair bounce and movement.

And it does it without leaving a dull residue coating like many coarse hair treatments tend to do.

This hair masque makes hair seem younger. It is like turning back the clock on all the crazy stuff I’ve have done to my hair:

  • coloring
  • highlights
  • color correction
  • hot tools
  • alcohol-laden styling products

It is like all those things never happened. A hair do-over if you will.

ROIL Healthy Hair Masque contains Amla fruit oil, which is nutrient-rich and wonderful for hair
Amla on StyleChicks

Amla or Gooseberry comes from these small fruits. It is considered a superfood with many beauty benefits

The ROIL HAIR MASQUE EXPERIENCE

Use

What is the scent of ROIL Healthy Hair Masque?

The scent is a delicate citrus scent.

What is the texture of ROIL Healthy Hair Masque?

The Consistency is like a thick custard texture, but spreads smoothly and absorbs quickly.

An elegant decadence to it makes you want to use it while soaking in a warm bath.

It is very easy to wash out.

Delicate orange scent

A delightful yet delicate orange scent a delicate blend of orange and grapefruit notes.

Lifeless hair looks and feels so much better after leaving the ROIL masque in the hair for even a minute or two.

But it really sings when used for 30 minutes to a few hours.

THE RESULTS

  • My hair seemed fuller and had more movement even while still wet.
  • Shine even on unruly parts. It is a healthy shine, not shellac, silicone fake-looking shine.
  • Improved texture of dry, unruly gray hairs and damaged sections.

What makes this magic happen?

Check out what is in ROIL Healthy Hair Masque

ROIL Healthy Hair Masque Ingredient Profile

Amla fruit

Amla Oil

Amla Oil comes from the Amla fruit, which is known as the wonder fruit.

High in Vitamin C, it imparts strength and thickness to hair.

What are Amla hair benefits?

  • It is nutrient-dense and full of powerful antioxidants.
  • It is thought that Amla can penetrate into the root and hair shaft, encouraging hair growth and rejuvenation.
  • Amla makes hair beautiful, soft, and shiny.
  • Amla has another impressive ability: to reverse damage from hair coloring. This is because Gallic acid, a powerful phenolic compound found in amla which repairs chemical and environmental damage.[1]

A few hair products use Amla. But notice their ingredients lists, it is often just a sprinkling of Amla. This is not the percentage necessary for a true hair rehab. ROIL uses a generous amount of Amla in this formulation for meaningful hair rehab.

ROIL does Amla masques one better by also adding a hair-loving combination of ingredients.

Grapeseed Oil

Grapeseed Oil

Grape Seed Oil is a rich but lightweight oil that leaves hair hydrated, lively and perfectly nourished.

It is excellent for dry and brittle hair, including unruly grays.

Shea Butter

Shea Butter has rich, naturally nurturing fatty acids and vitamins. It gives a uniquely soft feel. It also makes hair healthier.

ROIL Healthy Hair Masque Is PART OF A HEALTHY HAIR REHAB PLAN

We’ve got several hair rescue products on our Holy Grail list. These include:

  • Olaplex
  • the Oribe Gold Lust range
  • Philip Kingsley Elasticizer.

Now we add ROIL Healthy Hair Masque to that list.

Any bond-building treatment, like Olaplex, requires a hydrating conditioning treatment after use. After Olaplex or Philip Kingsley Elasticizer, my hair looks best when followed with a ROIL Healthy Hair Masque treatment.

No matter how damaged or dry my hair seems, the ROIL Healthy Hair Masque always gives a good hair day.
ROIL luxury hair and body care products

ROIL luxury hair and body care products

THE VERDICT

A luxe treatment for all hair types. It is excellent on coarse hair.

  • The consistency feels wonderful. It is like a whipped custard.
  • It rinses out quickly without residue.
  • And it smells lovely.

After one use, we immediately bought two more ROIL Healthy Hair Masques because it brings hair back to life and leaves it SO SO shiny.

And it has been a repeat purchase ever since. Highly recommended.

WHERE TO BUY IT
