MaxLife USA's Skin Peel is as good as going to a spa!


First, this is VERY STRONG. It is a medical grade product, which means it does much more of a peel than most over the counter, generic peels. This is the type of peel you would actually go to a dermatologist to get. Second, it is really mandatory to do a patch test. I should know, because I didn't do a patch test and found that it is so much stronger than I expected that I almost over-did it. The directions on the box say to use this daily. I would recommend that if you are not used to peels that you use it at most once a week. Also, start off slowly. I put it on and despite the stinging feeling I left it on for 20 minutes. That was too much. My face was slightly red where I had applied it. So I would say leave it on for 5 minutes to start, unless you use strong peels on a regular basis. I just can't imagine that anyone would use a peel daily. It did sting the whole time it was one, not unbearably, but I definitely noticed it. That was the main reason I only left it on for 20 minutes instead of the 30 that it says on the box. When I use it again I will only leave it on for 5 minutes. Then I will be able to set up a maintenance schedule of weekly use.

With all that being said, it definitely produces a soft, smooth skin. It actually felt like new skin once I rinsed it off and even after a week it feels soft and smooth. I give this product 5 stars because it really is a strong peel, medical grade and the type of product that will actually save me money by not having to go to a dermatologist or other provider to get a "real" peel. It is very easy to apply, I just shook about 10-15 drops onto a piece of cotton and applied it to my "rough" area around the sides of my mouth, on lines from my nose to my mouth and on my chin. I have never used a product that continues to provide the benefit like this one does. I recommend this product as long as whoever uses it does the patch test and adjusts their timing and frequency, Most people are not used to actually having a strong product available to use. I am glad to have a do-it at home product I can count on.  #50%Glycolic(AHA-AlphaHydroxy)AcidSerumforChemicalP

Amara Organics Skin Balancing Facial Toner Refines and Refreshes


I have used a number of products from Amara Organics and have been pleased with all of them. This facial toner is no exception. It contains a number of organic and wildcrafted ingredients, along with witch hazel, aloe vera, neroli and glycolic acid. It has an earthy scent which disappears after it has dried. I spray it on a cotton ball or folded piece of tissue and gently wipe it over my face. It wipes on easily and absorbs quickly. I can tell right away that it is starting to do it's work as my skin feels much less tight and dry. It removes any stubborn makeup and I use it after cleansing. It is great to use under other creams, lotions, serums or even makeup. Even using it alone, it minimizes my pores, giving my face a smooth appearance and fine texture. It also softens my skin and fine lines and wrinkles are reduced. I use it at least twice a day. In the summer, in Louisiana, I sometimes use it up to 4 times a day to help my skin recover from the heat and environment. I definitely recommend this fine product from Amara Organics to improve your skin and appearance.

You can purchase this product on Amazon.com.

ISA Professional Organic Extra Virgin Argan OIl For Hair, Skin and Nails


I have used products from ISA Professional before and have liked all of them. This Organic Argan Oil is no exception. This lightweight amber Argan Oil spreads easily and absorbs quickly. It is not greasy, sticky or oily on the skin. I also mix 2 dropperfulls of the oil in my hair conditioner so my hair and scalp benefit with every time I shampoo and condition. The great thing about Argan Oil is that a little goes a long way. One or two drops does all 10 of my nails and cuticles. If I am styling my hair and need a bit more shine and manageability, I put just 3 drops in my palms and rub my hands together and then through my hair. This is also a great nighttime treatment for my face and neck. Again, using only a few drops covers my face, chin and neck area. I wake the next morning with soft, smooth skin that stays hydrated. It smooths fine lines and wrinkles. The best part about this product is that it is 100% Argan Oil, there is nothing else, and this is Organic Argan Oil, making it free of any pollutants, fillers, chemicals or additives. I definitely recommend ISA Professional Organic Argan Oil for all over body happiness.

Leven Rose Organic Jojoba Oil for Skin and Hair

Leven Rose Organic Jojoba Oil is a light and delicate oil. It is unscented and comes in an amber glass bottle, which protects against pollutants and oxidation from light. Best of all, it is 100% Organic. This is a rather dry oil, and it doesn't leave a greasy or oily residue. I wanted to try it in different situations to see how it worked for me. I added a few drops to my conditioner after shampooing and it left my hair soft and manageable. I rubbed it into my nails and cuticles. After cleansing I used it on my face. It removed the last bit of my makeup and absorbed readily into my skin. It showed immediate hydration and smoothed fine lines and wrinkles. I also used this to make a whipped body butter:
2 oz room temperature Raw Shea Butter, mashed, then add
1 T. Leven Rose Organic Jojoba Oil, mash again, then add
10 drops of Essential Oil, stir rapidly until it is all incorporated and forms a soft, whipped butter consistency. Use a small amount daily to revive dry skin. I made this for a friend who was recovering from surgery and rubbed it into her skin and it helped to rehydrate the skin and stop flaking and itching. She also said she planned to use it for her eczema patches.

Overall, I was impressed with this Jojoba Oil. It benefits hair, face, and skin all over. I love that it is Organic and unscented. It blends well with other ingredients to form body butters, hair conditioners, dry oils, and skin creams. I definitely recommend Leven Rose Organic Jojoba Oil for a quality product with many benefits.
