Organic Lip Balm Good Enough to Eat: Earth’s Daughter Organic Beeswax Lipbalm Set

July 12, 2018 · 6 Comments

 

A frequently cited statistic says that the average woman accidentally ingests ten pounds of lip gloss per year. That figure seems high. Suspiciously high. But one thing we can all agree on is that most lip glosses and balms contain toxic chemicals. Chemicals that you would never choose to ingest into your body. That’s why we love Earth’s Daughter Organic Beeswax Lipbalm.

Earth's Daughter Organic Beeswax Lip Balms are 100% USDA Certified Organic 

Earth’s Daughter Organic Beeswax Lip Balms are 100% USDA Certified Organic

Matte lips are in lately, which makes a good lip balm mandatory for the smoothest application. Nothing ages the face like dry, thin lips. Even if your makeup and hair are perfect, chapped lips make a polished look “undone”. Earth’s Daughter Organic Beeswax Lipbalms contain only safe, natural ingredients that provide superior hydration to chapped lips. Whether for a soft, natural lip or to create a smooth surface for lipstick, these lip balms keep lips soft, plump and youthful.

There are some natural lip balms made with two or three of these ingredients, but these Earth’s Daughter Organic Beeswax Lipbalms feature an entire line-up of powerful skin softening, organic all-stars.

Earth's Daughter Lip Balms are made with all natural ingredients

Earth’s Daughter Lip Balms are made with all natural ingredients

INGREDIENTS

The ingredient list is easy to understand: Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Beeswax, and Organic Coconut Oil. There is also Vitamin E, Organic Rosemary Extract, and Organic Calendula Extract.

The flavors and scents are from Organic Cherry, Vanilla, Coconut, and Strawberry Flavors, Organic Essential Oils of Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Orange, Lemon, and Lime.

The flavoring and fragrance are from all natural ingredients

The flavoring and fragrance are from all natural ingredients

  • Sunflower Oil retains moisture in the skin and is also rich in vitamin E.
  • Beeswax softens lip skin and provides a bit of a natural lip-plumping quality. It is a natural skin conditioner that stands up to wind, dry weather, cold winters and hot summer sun.
  • Coconut Oil penetrates deeper than other oils, exfoliating dry flaky skin and revealing smooth lips. It is also antibacterial.
  • Eucalyptus and Peppermint Oil provides scent and anti-bacterial properties.
  • Vitamin E oil is sometimes used directly on the lips in cases of extreme chapping and dryness. Vitamin E can also maintain the lips to avoid excess chapping in the first place
  • Organic Calendula Extract promotes the regeneration of new tissue regeneration and soothes damaged skin
  • Rosemary Oil naturally protects lip skin from sun damage and free radicals. It also has natural antiseptic properties.

WHAT THEY DON’T CONTAIN

Earth’s Daughter Organic Beeswax Lipbalms are NON-GMO and GLUTEN FREE. There are NO chemicals, fillers, soy or petroleum or petroleum derivatives.
 
These 100% USDA Certified Organic Lip Moisturizer is kid-safe, even for toddlers.

Earth’s Daughter Organic Beeswax Lipbalms come six to a set

FLAVORS

This gift-worthy boxed pack contains six flavors:
  • Vanilla Bean

SCENT

The flavors and scents are in a word yummy. All of the flavors and scents are dead-on. I am particularly impressed with the Vanilla that tastes and smells like actual vanilla, not an artificially sweet vanilla. There are no allergy-inducing flavor or fragrance ingredients that can irritate lips.

All natural Vanilla Bean uses the scent and taste of actual Vanilla Bean for a tasty Vanilla flavor

FEEL

They do not feel greasy, they apply smoothly and evenly. They wear well and do not excessively stray outside of the lipline.

MY EXPERIENCE

My lips are chronically dry and chapped. I started applying the Earth’s Daughter Organic Beeswax Lipbalm once in the morning and once at night. After about a week, I apply it in the morning about ten or fifteen minutes before doing my makeup. I do keep one of the glosses in my bag. I especially like the scent of Bing Cherry because it smells happy, but I also like the Eucalyptus Mint to feel invigorated.
Bing Cherry makes for a yummy mid-day pick-me-up

USES

Wear the lip balm alone for soft, plumper lips or apply to chapped lips before lipstick for the smoothest application.

TIPS

Some ways we found that Daughter Organic Beeswax Lipbalm can be especially useful to prevent irritation

  • Does your face cleanser dry out your lips? Some ingredients that can irritate lips include Glycolic Acid, salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Using Earth’s Daughter Organic Beeswax Lipbalm before washing my face protects my lips from drying facial washes.
  • The lip balms also provide lip protection during a DIY spa facial treatment that may irritate the lips such as a face mask or home peel
  • They also provide lip protection if toothpaste, citrus juices, or sauces irritate your lips.

Earth's Daughter

CONCLUSION

The Earth’s Daughter Organic Beeswax Lipbalm Set has six yummy flavors. They are safe even for toddlers, yet effective enough for adults with chronically dry lips. I feel much safer knowing what goes into my lip products is organic, safe and all-natural. The six pack is enough to keep one in my bag, my car, by my bedside, in my desk at work, and my gym bag with one to spare! It makes a great gift idea for someone who appreciates high-performing organic products.

What to Expect from a Vitamin C and Retinol Skincare Program

January 1, 2018 · 11 Comments

The first time one spots fine lines, crows feet, brown spots, or eleven lines on their face, one is probably only in their late twenties, but it feels like the start of a slippery slope into looking like a full-fledged card-carrying AARP member on their way to get a free senior coffee. To combat signs of aging, dermatologists recommend a combination of Vitamin C serum and Retinol. Considering starting a Vitamin C/Retinol topical skin care program? Find out exactly what to expect and when from this topical anti-aging power couple, as found in Lordsbury Retinol+C Moisturizer.

Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer contains both 2.5% pure Retinol and 20% Vitamin C Serum

AGING IS SNEAKY: WHY RETINOL AND VITAMIN C ARE THE FIRST LINES OF DEFENSE

Aging skin sneaks up on you. Your skin may seem dull, less dewy or vibrant, but not old, just… lackluster. This aging starts in our late twenties when collagen starts to decrease, and by 40, aging typically exhibits in increased uneven pigmentation, dark spots, redness, broken capillaries, along with the usual aging suspects of wrinkles, crinkles and sagging.

It’s easy to focus on the wrinkles and sagging, but the discoloration, dullness and cumulative sun damage effects are far more aging to the overall facial appearance. According to an article in the December 2006 Clinical Interventions in Aging Journal, “solar UV radiation unquestionably is the single major factor responsible for skin aging” (Clin Interv Aging. 2006 Dec; 1(4): 327–348).

Fortunately, both Vitamin C and Retinol excel at both building more collagen and undoing sun damage, its’ resulting discoloration, and skin texture changes, as well as restoring a youthful glow regardless of age. While there is a slew of anti-aging remedies and products out there, this sun damage reversal ability is one of the chief reasons that dermatologists will recommend a Vitamin C and Retinol combination.

CHOOSING YOUR TOPICALS

The temptation in anti-aging skin care is to panic and use too much too soon, attempting peels, scrubs, and topical treatments all at once, leading to dry, irritated skin. But the tried and true combination that addresses the broadest scope of anti-aging issues is Retinol and Vitamin C. We like Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer because it’s an all-in-one product that combines a 2.5% pure Retinol with 20% Vitamin C serum plus Hyaluronic Acid for deeper penetration, plus a host of moisturizers to buffer the powerful active ingredients.

Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer provides gentle but effective Retinol plus Vitamin C in an all-in-one product

ABOUT VITAMIN C: HOW IT REVERSES SKIN AGING

Vitamin C is needed for collagen production. Collagen is the scaffolding of the skin, keeping it supported and firm. We produce less collagen as we age, and we also lose collagen, which is tantamount to pulling bricks out of a wall – it eventually causes sagging and deterioration. But these missing “bricks” in the skin can be patched with Vitamin C application to produce more collagen. Because the skin makes less collagen as it ages, it’s helpful to apply Vitamin C topically to have it present at the cellular level where skin makes collagen, as Vitamin C is involved in all three collagen production processes. Vitamin C also fights free radicals which age the skin via oxidation and exposure to pollutants. Vitamin C fades away discoloration without bleaching it, just returning the skin to its’ natural tone.

Vitamin C can build collagen even around the delicate eye area

ABOUT RETINOL: HOW IT REVERSES SKIN AGING

Retinol helps retain existing collagen by preventing collagen breakdown and stimulate new collagen production. It is a great pairing with topical Vitamin C that provides the production process tools while Retinol gives the skin “orders” to make more collagen. It also increases skin thickness which makes it less prone to wrinkle and appear more even in tone. It breaks up discoloration and scars, which makes it easier for Vitamin C to fade it away. And it sloughs away dead skin cells and encourages new, younger skin to take its’ place. It shrinks pores, which tend to enlarge with age, and purges blackheads.

Retinol also uniquely retains the healthy glow or luminosity of youth that no other product or active ingredient can truly emulate or effect. If you have ever seen an older person without wrinkles or sagging, but their skin does not glow, you know they are maintaining their skin in some unnatural (surgical, laser or injectable) fashion. That glow is what gives older skin a natural young look.

Vitamin C and Retinol both accomplish different parts of many of the same tasks, making them a great team.

Just one pump of Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer treats the face and throat with a potent combination of Retinol, Vitamin C and a bunch of natural, effective moisturizers

TIMEFRAME: WHEN CAN I EXPECT RESULTS?

Results can be seen between a week to three months, depending on the type of aging concerned. The return of skin radiance happens fairly quickly, whereas reversing deep wrinkles and sagging requires collagen production which can take a few months of daily Retinol and Vitamin C use to start to visibly show.

A key factor in how long it takes for Retinol and Vitamin C to improve skin is how well you tolerate the flaking, redness, and dryness that occurs with many retinol and even some Vitamin C products. Many people can only tolerate every other day Retinol use. This will delay results. A Retinol we like is Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer because it contains 2.5% pure retinol, 20% Vitamin C serum and a host of natural moisturizers that serve as a gentle buffer so effective that it can be used twice a day with zero skin irritation, even around the delicate eye area, and even for those with very sensitive skin, like myself.

LUMINOSITY: ONE TO TWO WEEKS

This famous elusive Retinol glow appears just after a major skin sloughing. And it is fabulous.

SMOOTH AND EVEN SKIN: TWO WEEKS TO TWO MONTHS

Within the first week or two, the combination of Vitamin C and Retinol leads to rapid dead skin turnover, which makes skin look and feels soft and smooth, like after exfoliating. Wrinkles appear smaller and less deep because the light reflects better off of smooth skin than dead skin cells, but wrinkles are not actually improved at this stage, they are just attractively “buffed”. Prescription retinol is highly effective in dead skin sloughing but tends to have several weeks of itchy peeling to suffer through. Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer also has rapid dead skin turnover, but without tell-tale peeling or redness often seen in prescription retinol.

REDUCED PORES AND REDUCED BLACKHEADS: ONE TO THREE WEEKS

A particularly satisfying part of Vitamin C/Retinol use is watching pores shrink down to nothing and blackheads mass exit your face, even the stubborn ones around your nose. This pore-shrinking is surprisingly youthifying, as it’s something that unknowingly makes one look older.

ACNE: WEEKS THREE AND FOUR

Vitamin C tackles acne quickly. Retinol removes the dead skin cells and sebum congesting pores. There is a brief period a few weeks into retinol use that the pores purge with a temporary major breakout, then skin remains largely clear after that period. Cystic acne takes longer to clear but daily Vitamin C use is excellent for shrinking the inflammation out of cystic acne.

Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer treats even adult cystic acne with Retinol and Vitamin C, plus reduces inflammation with Wildcrafted Green Tea and Aloe Vera

Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer treats even adult cystic acne with Retinol and Vitamin C while reducing redness and inflammation with Wildcrafted Green Tea and Aloe Vera. Plus, it fades brown spots, uneven tone and discoloration caused by years of sun damage and even fades old acne scars

DISCOLORATION FROM PHOTOAGING (SUN DAMAGE): 2 to 6 MONTHS

This is one of Retinols and Vitamin C’s best tricks, reversing years of sun damage. How fast you see results depend on how much damage you have, but even severe sun damage can be vastly improved within three to six months. Vitamin C builds collagen and fades discoloration, improving sun damaged skin’s texture and even tone. According to the same article cited above, Retinol is the most effective treatment reversing skin damage, generally within three to six months, but most users won’t tolerate the burning, scaling, itching, peeling and general dermatitis issues associated with retinoid therapy. This is where buffering your retinol with moisturizers, such as those found in the all-in-one Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer, becomes crucial to assure regular, consistent use.

CONCLUSION

Few treatments can hold a candle to what daily use of Retinol and Vitamin C can do for the skin in terms of reversing sun damage and restoring the skin. The key to making this program work for you is finding a Retinol and Vitamin C that you can use consistently each day without excess irritation or redness. Lordsbury Retinol+C Cream Moisturizer provides 2.5% pure Retinol with 20% Vitamin C serum in a highly moisturizing cream base that contains many natural moisturizing agents so that you can tolerate daily use. In fact, you can use it twice a day without irritation. Once you see the wonderful youthful luminosity that Retinol can give your skin, you won’t want to stop, so Lordsbury gives the ability for daily use without any irritation, just soft, smooth, increasingly younger and better skin.

Show off Pearly White Teeth with a Sterline Sonic Power Electric Rechargeable Toothbrush

February 23, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Outside of a dental office, nothing makes your teeth feel as clean or look as bright as an Electric Toothbrush. The Sterline Sonic Power Electric Rechargeable Toothbrush with UV Sanitizer has loads of features & bonuses for healthy gums & whiter teeth, and it’s today’s Lighting Deal at Amazon

WHAT MAKES THE STERLINE SONIC POWER ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH SPECIAL?

There are a few Electric toothbrushes on the market, but they do not come with the many features of the Sterline Sonic Power Electric Toothbrush or have the Sterline’s excellent price point. Even if a UV Sanitizer is available for some models, it is sold separately at a price often higher than this entire set, and these other sanitizer s are not conveniently included right within the charging base. This Sterline Toothbrush also comes with twelve toothbrush head refills. These two features alone make the regular price of $59 a great deal, and the Lighting Deal price of $39.99 is exceptional.

But what is also particularly notable about this set is the toothbrush features itself including four cleansing modes and whitening brush heads.

The Sterline Sonic Toothbrush with UV Sanitizer charging base. How clever!

The Sterline Sonic Power Electric Rechargeable Toothbrush comes with a UV Sanitizer in the charging base. How clever!

 

THE STERLINE TOOTHBRUSH

The Sterline Sonic Power Electric Toothbrush works at 40,000 sonic power brush strokes per minute, removing twice the plaque that a traditional toothbrush can. Teeth feel SO smooth and clean! This level of brush strokes per minute is ideal: enough to tackle plaque and gingivitis, but it doesn’t vibrate so fast that it hurts sensitive teeth or wears away at tooth enamel.

FOUR CLEANSING MODES
Select from 4 brushing modes: clean, soft, whiten, and massage. These four mode choices are a feature I particularly like since many electric toothbrushes do not address sensitive teeth or gum needs. The modes are:

  • Clean is for regular, twice a day cleaning of your teeth
  • Soft is intended for cleaning sensitive teeth and gums
  • Whiten cleanses teeth while polishing and whitening
  • Massage is a pulsating mode that gently stimulates the gums. I like this feature since most electric toothbrushes do not adequately address gum care, an essential part of your overall dental health.

2-MINUTE AUTO TIMER: The built-in timer indicates the start of four 30-second intervals to know when it is time to brush the next section of teeth for optimal, even brushing. This feature is important, as the American Dental Association recommends brushing for two minutes, but surveys indicate the average brushing time of most people remains below this recommendation.

THE BRUSH HEADS

The brush heads are made of Dupont Bristles which gently polish off surface stains. As a coffee and tea drinker, I like this feature. The heads are designed to conform to the contours of teeth to best reach the tiny crevices and contours that a traditional toothbrush cannot.

I like that this set comes with twelve heads since the replacement head costs can be a sneaky hidden cost often forgotten about when selecting an electric toothbrush, making it a more expensive investment than expected. That is not the case with this toothbrush set.

toothbrushheads

The Sterline Sonic Toothbrush, UV Sanitizer Charging Base and 12 Replacement Brush Heads comes with a two-year warranty. Get it for $39.99

UV Sanitizer Charging Base

Since a Sonic Toothbrush lasts much longer than conventional toothbrushes, the UV sanitizer in the charging base is an important feature to keep the toothbrush free of germs and bacteria. The UV sanitizer is proven 99.9% effective against:

  • E.Coli
  • Candida Albicans
  • Salmonella
  • H. Simplex

It’s also 96.8% effective against H1N1.

The charging base helps reduce the spread of germs in your home, a superior feature to traditional toothbrushes that can harbor germs. The built-in UV sanitizer sanitizes the brush heads in only ten 10 minutes.

HOW TO USE THE UV SANITIZER

1. Shake off any excess water from the toothbrush.
2. Place the toothbrush heads on the sanitizer stand with the bristles facing the UV lamp.
3. Close the cover; the UV Sanitizer will glow blue
4. When the sanitizing is done, the Sanitizer will turn itself off

PACKAGE CONTENTS

  • Sonic Power Toothbrush Handle (with battery)
  • UV Sanitizer Charging Base
  • 12 Replacement Brush Heads in a variety of colors
  • User Manual
  • 2-Year Warranty with Customer Service for any questions or issues

USE

Charge the toothbrush for 24 hours before the first use. One charge will last for about ten days. This feature is useful for being able to charge the toothbrush before traveling and not having to worry about packing the charger base.

CONCLUSION

This toothbrush system is loaded with product features often associated with more expensive electric toothbrush system sets. It also has several bonus features. The Sterline Sonic Power Electric Rechargeable Toothbrush with UV Sanitizer Charging Station can significantly improve the appearance of your smile and the health of your teeth, as well as reduce germs and viruses that can contaminate traditional toothbrushes.

Find The Sterline Sonic Power Electric Rechargeable Toothbrush with UV Sanitizer Charging Station, here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M3X7WGA.

It is usually a $59.99 product, but now it is the Amazon lightning deal of $39.99!

CHEW GUM FOR BEAUTY’S SAKE: XyloBurst All Natural Gum with Xylitol

January 23, 2017 · Leave a Comment

True Story: Once upon a Time a kid ate a poppy seed bagel before his yearbook photoshoot. The poppy seeds stuck in his teeth were NOT Photoshopped out. What could’ve saved the unfortunate “Poppy-Seed-Boy” from social ruin? Gum.

 

Impromptu group selfies on Social Media make keeping food OUT of your teeth a beauty priority. Here are our fast fixes for an all-too-common food faux pas.

BAD TIMES TO HAVE BAD BREATH & FOOD IN TEETH

Photo-ops aren’t the only way to be caught with food on your teeth: there is the dreaded etiquette-landmine of a job interview or business presentation taking place over a meal. Or any date or social occasion where any food is involved, even popcorn at the movies. These are all potential events where getting food stuck in teeth or breath that smells of your meal a semi-disaster. Often, you don’t notice the smell of your meal as offensive or distracting, but someone else might. Even if you ordered the same menu items, they only smell the lingering odor on YOU, not themselves. Lunchtime food odors can linger during that afternoon staff meeting or presentation. Even stale coffee breath can be offputting to bosses and co-workers. We have two go-to, no-fail tricks:

  1. CLOTHES: Spray Vanilla Vodka on clothes to eliminate the lingering odor of food on contact. Once dry, vanilla vodka is scentless and doesn’t harm the fabric. (Really!) Keep it in a small spray bottle.
  2. MOUTH/BREATH/TEETH: I discretely chew cinnamon gum for just a few minutes after a meal.

 

A healthy smile is beautiful!

A healthy smile is beautiful!

 

WHY GUM?

Why don’t I just brush my teeth like a non-heathen? I do, but later. Because often after a meal, you say your goodbyes to your social and business meal companions before you get a chance for so much as a quick check of your lipstick, much less a full toothbrushing and floss routine. A few minutes of chewing gum freshens your breath and removes the risk of getting food stuck in your teeth.

Why cinnamon? Because studies show it a universally liked scent that seems clean, crisp and attractive on women, not medicinal or offputting. After reading the ADA recommendation for chewing gum after meals, we like XyloBurst.

 

XyloBurst All Natural Xylitol Gum

DENTAL BENEFITS TO CHEWING XYLOBURST GUM

The American Dental Association states that chewing sugar-free gum after meals and snacks rinse off and neutralize the enamel-harming acids released by bacteria. According to the ADA, “both the act of chewing and the flavor of the artificial sweeteners in the gum stimulate ten times the normal rate of saliva flow.”

Even if you can immediately brush your teeth, it may not be advisable. Food-based acids are in soda and other carbonated drinks, citrus fruits, and juices, wine, pickles, and honey, all of which can leave teeth enamel too vulnerable to brush for thirty minutes. In that 30 minutes, chewing gum is a gentle way to provide a mild cleansing action via increased saliva in your mouth.

 

XyloBurst All Natural Xylitol Gum

XYLOBURST GUM AFTER MEALS & SNACKS

The ADA indicates you don’t want just any gum, you want sugar-free gum, and preferably gum sweetened with Xylitol, like XyloBurst.

XyloBurst gum has Xylitol, which reduces decay-causing bacteria. It stops the growth of Streptococcus mutans, a bacteria that causes cavities. Xylitol also blocks bacteria’s ability to stick to teeth, stopping the cavity-causing process.

Over time, Xylitol reduces the overall levels of decay-causing bacteria in the mouth. What does this mean? Chewing XyloBurst after a meal or snack and then brushing later is better for teeth than brushing alone.

The recommended amount of XyloBurst for dental health is 6-8 grams per day, so at about 1 gram per piece, one to two pieces of gum after meals and snacks gives your mouth an optimal environment for fighting cavities.

XyloBurst is also:

  • Non-GMO and gluten free, with no sugar
  • All natural
  • dentist/hygienist recommended
  • 40% more gum per package than competitors

Dental benefits aside, it tastes pretty good and quickly gives us fresh breath. We like cinnamon, but it also comes in other flavors including Peppermint. It is also ideal for low-carb and sugar controlled diets. Dieting can alter the saliva levels in the mouth and can cause stale breath. In addition to drinking lots of water, XyloBurst can help keep breath fresh while dieting.

CONCLUSION

A quick remedy to beat bad breath, lingering food odors, or food particles stuck on or between teeth, XyloBurst is a superior sugar-free gum choice for after a social “eating” event. Healthy teeth goes a long way towards a beautiful smile. Chewing XyloBurst can be a good preventive measure when toothbrushing and flossing aren’t practical. By chewing a piece or two of XyloBurst gum after each meal, you can easily improve your long-term oral health in between brushing and flossing by vastly reducing the cavity-causing bacteria in the mouth.
