Current Skincare Favorites

You all know my love for skincare, and that it is my focus for this year instead of makeup. You always have your skin, and the better you take care of it, I always feel you need less makeup. Don't get me wrong, I still love makeup, but with having Olivia home now, I don't have the time to play around with colors or looks, let alone put any on. So today's post is going to be the skincare products that I currently have been loving. 

The Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash has been a favorite cleanser of mine for years. I pulled it out from my stash and fell back in love with it. It has teeny tiny scrubbing bits in it that helps with a little manual exfoliation, but it's super gentle enough to use on a daily basis. This has been my morning cleanser, and it's helping to get rid of all the dry, flaky skin I've been having lately. 

I'm obsessed with lip balms. I literally have a huge bag full of ones I have yet to open. This Lime Rocket scent from Badger is AMAZING! It's so incredibly hydrating and creates a nice barrier from everything; wind, food, drink. It lasts such a long time between applications, so I don't see myself using all this up very quickly, unless I slather it on a million times a day, just because. 

I was given the Monat Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive ages ago to review. It's an oil that can be used in your hair or on your skin. It's way to much for my hair, but when I add just 2-3 drops of this oil into my moisturizer, my skin is hydrated and has a 'glow from within' look. 

I have also done a review on this Derma E Firming DMAE Eye Lift. Loved it then, and still love it now. I pulled this out again because my eye area was really dry and irritated. This helped it after just one use and keeps the delicate skin around my eyes looking nice and healthy. The little lines and circles I have from being exhausted are slowly starting to diminish as well. 

My last skincare product is from Bath & Body Works. Now I typically am not a fan of B&BW body care products. I adore their candles and hand soaps, but their body products left little to be desired for me. Since being in the NICU with my daughter, I have still been washing my hands a million times a day and am dealing with rough, cracked patches all over my hands. The Island White Pineapple Nourishing Hand Cream smells divine, but also hydrates my hands well without making them feel greasy.

Review: Monat Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive

Hey everyone! Today I'm going to be reviewing an interesting product by the brand Monat and it's their Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive. 

When I first saw this product in my iFabbo shop, I was intrigued so I figured I'd give it a try. I've been getting more into oils lately, especially with it getting colder and drier outside. Once I got it in the mail, I was a little confused on what it was used for. I wasn't sure if it was a hair oil or skin oil. After doing some researching, I found out it's a multi use product. You can use it in your hair, on your face, or anywhere you need extra hydration.

There are many benefits this oil has:

-Can be used daily and is absorbed quickly and completely
-Seals, coats and smooths hair cuticle to boost shine and protect from environmental influences
-Provides nutrients, Omega-6 fatty acids and antioxidants which help prevent premature aging
-Alleviates dehydration caused by harsh cleaners and styling products
-It's a natural alternative to harmful silicones
-Independent clinical studies show that its main ingredient, Abyssinian Oil, generates superior results when compared to Argan Oil
-This is a cruelty-free product!

I had to look up the clinical study information since I was definitely curious about the results.

-88% noticed an increase to hair manageability 
-55% reported reduced breakage to hair
-100% experienced an increase to hair's natural shine

With alot of the information on hair, I thought that was its main use was for. However there are directions on how to use it for your skin, and I put it on after I use a treatment, before moisturizer, at night. You can also use it on dry cuticles, elbows, feet, anything that needs extra hydration really. 

So what have I noticed after using this? For my hair personally, it seems a bit too heavy right now. I have fine, wavy hair that does get frizzy, but I don't think the weather is cold enough yet for me to notice major results. However, I do notice good results with my skin. Now I am almost 26, so I don't have wrinkles or horrible skin issues at the moment, but when I use this, I notice my skin feels alot softer and more supple. It is a bit greasy feeling at first, but it sinks right in after about 10 minutes or so. I like using this after I give myself a facial, as it seems to sink in quicker and be more effective.
