Natural Mud Treatments – Golden Moor Review

December 7th, 2009

Golden Moor is line of skin care products made of out natural mud. The mud they use is extracted from a Canadian bog which has high levels of humic acids, vitamins, minerals and natural antibiotics that prevents many diseases and ailments, and provides a general feeling of well-being.

The Golden Moor source is one of the rarest of the world that has not been tampered by men or contaminated by modern day pollution. Furthermore it is preserved by Canadian government laws.

I’ve used Golden Moor products for several years, both the mud bath soaks and the facial masks – and I absolutely love they them!

Mud Bath Soak
Helps to hydrate and soften dry skin, relaxes tense muscle, and relieves body pains and stress. The soak will not stain your tub, jacuzzi or towels. This is great after a good workout.

Natural Mud Mask
This is one of my little beauty secrets! It detoxifies and purifies the skin, removes excess oils and clarifies impure properties. It also helps heal acne-prone skin, tones and reduces signs of aging. I recommend using this after a facial scrub.

Body Polish Scrubs
Made with a blend of mud, hemp, essential oils, and pure pumice, these scrubs exfoliate and hydrate without leaving your skin oily.

Organic Pomegranate Skincare – Pomega5 Review

November 23rd, 2009

Pomega5 is a line of therapeutic skin care and nutritional supplements made with organic, biodynamic, cold-pressed pomegranate seed oil. Pomega5 products are all-natural, preservative-free, dermatologist tested and contain no synthetics or fillers.

Pomegranate fruit is rich in many powerful antioxidants such as polyphenols, tannins and anthocyanins. Pomegranate seed oil also stimulates the production of collagen and helps to prevent the signs of aging.

Pomegranate Cleansing Bar
An olive oil-based, all-natural facial cleanser that gently exfoliates, nourishes and calms the skin. This is a great cleanser that you can use on your face and body and won’t strip your skin like soap.

Revitalizing Treatment for Skin
Ampoules made with organic pomegranate seed oil, calendula oil and rosehip oil to restore nourishment to skin. I found the treatment soothing and very hydrating. This is would be particularly ideal for dry or mature skin types, it absorbs readily into skin, leaving it supple and nourished. I use this in the evening after cleansing, 2-3 times per week.

Healing Cream
An all-natural moisturizer made with pomegranate seed oil to restore suppleness and moisture to dry or damaged skin. As with the Revitalizing Treatment, I’ve also added the Healing Cream to my beauty routine. It has really helped to reduce redness, repair and renes cells, and re-balance my skin.

September 1st, 2009

Berry-Refined-Group-LRThis is an exclusive preview of the Berry Refined Exfoliating & Pore Minimizing Collection by Eminence Organics. This line of products will be available autumn 2009.

Eminence Organic Skin Care has a unique and highly effective range of natural skin care products. All their ingredients are grown organically and handmade in Budapest, Hungary. Eminence products address a variety of skin conditions such as the appearance of aging, wrinkling and blemishes, loss of vitality, tone and radiance.

Their upcoming Berry Refined collection contains vitamin and antioxidant rich skin care products to help reveal younger and smoother skin. I was invited to sample a selection of products from this collection.

Blueberry-Shimmer-Body-Lotion-tinyBlueberry Shimmer Body Lotion
A vitamin-rich skin moisturizer that features the healing action of blueberries, pineapple, and Shea butter. This product also has a hint of natural minerals that highlight your skin with a subtle shimmering glow.

I loved the smell of the lotion, it looks fresh, and is very moisturizing. The shimmer is subtle and is has really nice glitter effect; perfect for special occasions.

Raspberry-Pore-Refining-Masque-tinyRaspberry Pore Refining Masque
A masque that firms and tightens pores, smooths skin, and helps to create an even complexion. Raspberry, blackberry and blueberry provide a high-level of antioxidants which improve the health of the skin and reduce free radical damage.

This masque is suitable for all skin types. It is recommended to use this masque once a week and leave on for 10 minutes. It’s a thick textured masque, so you may want to use it sparingly and use a hot towel to help remove it. I really liked this masque, it smells delicious and I thought it did an incredible job at tightening my pores.

Blueberry-Soy-Exfoliating-Cleanser-tinyBlueberry Soy Exfoliating Cleanser
A cleanser that refines dry, dull skin with natural AHA to exfoliate and polish the complexion. Blueberries combined with soy heal, purify, and tighten your pores to create a youthful glow.

This cleanser is quite rich, so it’s recommended only for a normal to dry skin-type.  I liked the cleanser a lot, it felt great, gives your skin a nice glow, and smooths your complexion.
