VIVANT Skin Care Mandelic 3-In-1 Wash Review + Giveaway #Vivantskincare

I am particular especially when it comes to skincare.  I insist on the best quality skin care products because I want my skin to look and feel healthy no matter how old I am. Vivant Skin Care was created by the scientist who made skin look healthier...James E. Fulton M.D. PhD, the researcher, cosmetic surgeon and dermatologist who developed vitamin A acid, later known as Retin A. That was an amazing skin care breakthrough back then.  dr. Fulton took his knowledge and developed a skin care line for the new Millenium. There are so many benefits of Vivant Skin Care Mandelic 3-in-1 Wash, part of the whole Vivant skin care line.

This powerful yet gentle antioxidant wash contains Mandelic derived from almonds, green tea extract, grape seed, kiwi fruit and honey extracts.  Mandelic is a compound that is ideal for adult acne because it has triplicate benefits. It actually contains anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties. A common issue that I also see on my chin after a breakout is blotchy skin. I get so frustrated. The company shared that with continued use it can "lift" skin discolorations and dark spots. This wash also can stimulate the rejuvenation of fine lines by generating new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

What is Mandelic though? I had not heard of it before neither. It is a powerful yet gentler form of (AHA) Alpha Hydroxy Acid. Mandelic is also ideal for treating sensititve Black, Hispanic, and Asian skin that become sensitive to harsh benzoyl peroxide products. It really is a product that can work for almost anyone that is looking for fresh, glowing skin. The company shared even helps ingrown hairs and can also be used as a shampoo on scalp to control dandruff and acne.

My thoughts:  I have been using it this week now and my skin looks great. I started out as suggested with every other day. It is comfortable on my skin while I am washing and after I rinse my skin. I pat it dry and follow with moisturizer. My skin looks fresh and clear in the morning when I wake up. I will continue to use this and keep you updated.

You can find Vivant Skin Care right on their website and have it at your door in a flash. Meanwhile, enter my Rafflecopter giveaway to win a bottle of your own VIVANT Skin Care Mandelic 3-in-1 Wash. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Organics White Sesame Seeds Review #jivaorganics

 
Jiva Organics White Sesame Seeds are a great option to use as part of a healthy lifestyle.  They might be tiny but sesame seeds are full of lots if healthy nutrients.  You have healthy fats, protein, calcium, antioxidants and even lits of fiber. The primary fats in sesame seeds are a particular monounsaturated fatty acids called Oleic acid. You might have heard about Oleic acid because some studies have indicated that it might help to lower LDL, or bad cholesterol and increase the HDL, or good cholesterol.

Sesame seeds, like these organic white seeds are a good source of essential minerals too. This includes calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, magnesium, selenium and copper. You can look it up yourself and compare. Similar to other seeds, the nutrients are absorbed better when you grind them up but you choose your options based on your personal needs and recipes.  Consider them with rice or as part if salads dressings and even tahini. 

Jiva Organics is a line of certified organic spices that offer a great value over mainstream alternatives.  They are high quality USDA certified organic White Sesame Seeds.  I enjoy using them in smoothies and sprinkled on yogurt.  I have added them to Asian chicken recipes and salad dressings. They have a nice, light flavor that the whole family enjoys.  

Think about all the options from roasting, crushing and even sprinkling them on salads.  You can add Jiva organic white sesame seeds to rice,chicken, beef, vegetable or bean dishes too.

You can find out more by following Jiva Organics on Facebook too. You can purchase these organic white sesame seeds conveniently on Amazon too.

Key West Health + Beauty Retinol Cream Review #retinol

I am very careful with my skin care.  It is easier to take good care of your skin than to try to go turn back time.  So I am always seeking novel skin care options to help make me look a bit more youthful in a natural way. There have been so many innovations the past few years in creams and serums. They really can make a huge difference if you choose a quality cream or serum. I recently had the opportunity to try something new from Key West Health & Beauty.

Key West Health & Beauty was founded by 2 multi-location day spa owners with over 15 years of experience performing thousands of skin care treatments. They crafted a Retinol Cream with an innovative formula. It has 97% natural and 71% organic ingredients which is fairly different from your drugstore shelf. Most retinol creams contain heavy amounts of synthetic ingredients and fillers. That is not something that I want on my skin so I was impressed right from the start. 

The Retinol Cream from Key West Health & Beauty is 2.5% retinol. This means it contains 2 1/2 X the amount of retinol as the standard 1% strength found in most commercial retinol creams. This is the strongest strength of retinol available without a prescription too.

Consider this too, Key West Health & Beauty Retinol Cream 1.7 oz size is nearly twice the size as the standard 1 oz container offered with most retinol products. That is going to last me a while. 

I have had an opportunity to use this Retinol Cream during the week and I am continuing to use it. It goes on smoothly and you only need a small bit.  I avoid my eye area but otherwise have been using it all over my face and neck.  My skin feels good and looks great. I think I am going to need to wait a month or two to see significant results but I like it so far. Hopefully, over the next few weeks I will see my brown spots get lighter and my fine lines soften a bit.  My skin is clear and my makeup goes on smoothly so that is a great start.  

You can buy this high quality Retinol cream quickly and have it at your door in a flash.
