Proactiv® Deep Cleansing Wash – A Shower Staple

December 9th, 2011 by Amanda Davis

0 Comments

   

You know what I am loving right now? My Proactiv® Deep Cleansing Wash and whether you like it or not, I am going to tell you the reasons. Something I love having in our shower is something both me AND the man can use… I guess you could call it saving space? Well, in my overcrowded shower is something I consider to be one of my new shower staples. The Proactiv® Deep Cleansing Wash is an acne fighting weapon that is as easy to use as washing your body with it!

It has pretty much everything I am looking for in a body wash…

#1 It works. No one wants to get pimples anywhere on their body and as unlady like as it is to talk about it, blemishes are a fact of life and also are not confined to one’s face

#2 The Proactiv® Deep Cleansing wash is something I can use on my body and my face (ie bringing it to the gym or traveling) without concerns of drying out or my sensitive facial skin getting rashy. Bringing only one bottle instead of two? Score.

#3 It mildly exfoliates. There are little microbeads in there but by no means are they harsh or abrasive. Sloughing off dead skin is always a good thing. Yay!

#4 As I mentioned before, it is something that the man and I can both use. Acne is not specifically geared towards women or men for that matter. Straight to the point, we all need to take care of our skin. No frills, the man is not afraid of the Proactiv® products lying around.

I totally agree with Katy Perry: “The Deep Cleansing Wash is awesome. Your skin feels totally fresh and clean. And you can stop worrying about getting zits in places you don’t want them.” I don’t want zits anywhere and that includes my bod!

As always, you should test products on your skin before putting it in your full rotation but that being said, I did not experience any issues whatsoever with the Proactiv® Deep Cleansing Wash.

Have you guys tried any Proactiv® Products? What do you think and what do you recommend? Share your stories and join the conversation here, on Twitter (@proactiv) or Facebook!

*Proactiv® was awesome enough to let us try this product for the sole purpose of telling you, our amaaaazing readers, exactly what we thought of it. Though this post is sponsored, our opinions are 100% honest because we would never lie to you guys… we love you! xoxo



Madre Labs Natural Hair Care, Skin Care & More

December 5th, 2011 by The Fashionable Housewife

Madre Labs is all about quality products that help make your life better. They want to help you have a vibrant and healthy life and they have a line of unique products to help you do just that.

I had the pleasure of getting to review a few of their exceptional products including their Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner formulated for “Normal Hair”, their Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner for Dry/Damaged Hair, their Moisturizing Body Wash and Leave-In Conditioner as well as their Body Lotion and Hand Cream.

 

pH Balanced – Eco-Friendly Packaging – Made in U.S.A.
Made with Biodegradable Ingredients and Contains NO No-No’s

Shampoo & Conditioners

I used both the Balancing System and the Moisturizing System and was very happy with the results of both. I think the Balancing System worked best for my husband and 4 year old and the Moisturizing System worked best for my thick, frizzy hair. Both sets smelled great although I think I preferred the scent of the Balancing System.

Both shampoos cleansed my hair thoroughly but gently. The Balancing Conditioner gave me soft and gentle conditioning that didn’t feel waxy or weight my hair down. Worked great for my 4 year old and husband who both have thin, wavy hair that needs volume. I preferred the Moisturizing Conditioner as it made my hair silkier, shiny and less frizzy than the Balancing Moisturizer.

Knowing that both sets have exceptional ingredients, made me feel great about using them. I would highly recommend them for anyone wanting to get away from mainstream hair care and harmful ingredients, but who doesn’t want to compromise on results and quality.

Hair & Body Care

The Moisturizing Body Wash was probably my favorite product from the Madre Labs products I was sent to review. The bottle is almost empty! Everyone in my house LOVES it. This body wash is unique in that it doesn’t contain any sulfates or soap. It’s a gentle, very lightly fragranced, soap-free Body Wash that produces luxurious lather without using harsh surfactants that dry our your skin. Argan nut oil, which is high in vitamin E and rich in essential fatty acids, will help your skin feel silky smooth. In addition, the Rosemary Mint scent will make you want to stay in the shower all day. It contains a proprietary blend of superfruits (açaí, goji, pomegranate and seabuckthorn) that help protect your delicate skin from oxidative and environmental damage.

My least favorite product was the Leave-In Conditioner. Not because it’s not a great product but because the scent was just a little too much for me. It’s very strong scented and it seems to linger in the air, so if you don’t spritz and run, it’s a little heavy for the lungs to take! As far as performance is concerned, it’s not really necessary because their conditioners work great and I really didn’t feel the need for additional conditioning. It was good as a detangler for my 4 year old’s hair though.

 

Hand & Body Cream

They offer a nice big bottle of Hand & Body Lotion that soaks into the skin fast, leaves it soft and it’s unscented! I felt good using it on my whole family.

My husband’s favorite product is the Unscented Hand Cream. It comes in a convenient sized tube so you can take it with you and it delivers fast and adequate moisture to dry hands. An essential for winter!

Madre Labs Mission

Likewise Skincare Review

November 27th, 2011 by Amanda Davis

We are always up for trying new skin care products, you guys know that. Likewise Skincare was awesome enough to let us try some of their products to let you guys know what we thought of them. We received the Likewise facial moisturizer and the Likewise Face and body wash for review. While I had never heard of Likewise skincare products before, I have learned to never knock something until you have tried it. You will miss some pretty great things thinking like that.

Like I mentioned before, I had the opportunity to try both the Likewise facial moisturizer as well as the Likewise face and body wash. I would have to say that the face and body wash was my favorite of the two. It had a fresh scent, not as citrus-y as I had hoped but still lovely. If applicable, I like to let the man try stuff with me, so that if it’s something we can both take advantage of, it’s most definitely a plus. I like that I can keep this in the shower and that both the man and I can use this. He would rather something he can use on his body and face rather than have to use separate products so that was his opinion on this subject :) haha. I have more thoughtful approach to this product. It’s refreshing, non abrasive and a great addition to our shower regimen.

I would be interested to see what Likewise skincare comes up with next as I found their products appealing and the face and body wash especially satisfactory. I would need more of a selection from them in the future to see myself really committing to them as a brand for all of my skincare needs. Visit Likewise Skincare’s blog, facebook and twitter to keep up with their latest and greatest news… that’s what I plan to do.



Winterize Your Beauty Routine with DNA EGF Renewal™

November 14th, 2011 by Amanda Davis

1 Comment

   

We were very fortunate to be invited to attend a webinar with Dr. Ronald Moy, one of the country’s leading dermatologists and plastic surgeons in regards to our Winter skin health. It is not getting any warmer, especially here in the Northeast soooooo, what should we do to help keep our skin soft and supple? What should we avoid doing? What is the best for our skin? Dr. Moy covered it all and introduced us to DNA EGF Renewal™, his new line that helps keep our skin looking young with real science and thoughtfulness behind it. First let’s check out some basic facts from Dr. Moy:

HOW WINTER MOST IMPACTS YOUR SKIN:

•Dry skin occurs naturally as skin ages for most women as natural oils diminish; cold dry winter weather can dramatically increase skin’s dryness.
•Lower humidity increases dryness, especially indoor heating.
•Dryness decreases the skins natural lipids that keep skin cells together and prevent water loss. This natural lipid barrier is the essential first line of defense for your skin.
• Skin can become itchy, flaky, chapped and flushed as  you go between temperature extremes inside and outside.
• Frequent hand washing is crucial to controlling cold and flu germs, but it also increases dryness. Every time you apply night treatments to your face, apply any excess to your hands.
WINTER SKIN STRATEGIES:
•Avoid hot water on the face and body.
•Excessive exposure to hot water can strip the skins natural oils.
•Use a gentle, sulfate free, fragrance free cleanser and warm water.
•Apply moisturizers after cleansing while skin is moist.
•Stay hydrated.
•Eat a diet rich in Omega 3’s.
•Layer products to protect exposed skin.
•Don’t forget SPF.
•If itching, scaling or inflammation persist, contact your dermatologist.

So what is Dr. Moy and the DNA EGF team’s philosophy? REPAIR THE PAST. PROTECT THE FUTURE

Skin is compelled to act younger with the help of two scientific breakthroughs: Enzymes that speed the DNA recovery process. Epidermal Growth Factor extracted from barley that triggers cellular renewal. So how does that translate to something we can use in our daily lives? Check it.Growth Factor Serum was developed to help bring back the vitality to your skin. Skin glows, texture is refined, pores look visibly smaller, and younger, fresher skin emerges.

  • Barley EGF is the first and only plant-based Epidermal Growth Factor. It is the subject of a clinical study conducted by Dr. Moy
  • Most advanced serum to self correct the negative effects of skin aging and reprogram skin to act young again
  • Dramatic & rapid improvement of skin exhibiting advanced signs of photodamage to help diminish the appearance of age spots, pronounced wrinkling, and uneven coloration
  • Revolutionary plant-based (non-bacterial) growth factor is proven more stable and effective than standard EGFs
  • Ideal for all skin types
The Renewal Foaming Cleanser is a gentle, foaming formula that provides an innovative, non-irritaring version of glycolic acid delivering gentle exfoliating action. Removes old, dull, surface dead skin to reveal clean, vibrant skin. What is not to like about that combination?

  • Unique amino acid glycolic complex stimulates cell turnover and washes away surface impurities to prime skin for maximum regeneration
  • Encourages optimum absorption of Dr. Moy’s advanced anti-aging actives for highly efficacious results
  • FREE of artificial fragrances, sulfates, and parabens
  • Ideal for all skin types
  • Formulated for daily use

The DNA Night Renewal is a rich lotion featuring and advanced liposome deliver system that maximizes cell repair activity during the body’s sleep cycle to recover skin’s youth.

  • Induces cell regeneration and counters photo-aging damage to restore skin vitality
  • High levels of bio-advanced DNA Repair Enzymes, peptides, and botanical actives boost youthful cell turn over
  • Builds and fortifies a healthy lipid barrier
  • Ideal for dry or stressed skin
  • For night-time use

…and those are just a few of the great products that Dr. Moy and his team have developed for the DNA EGF Renewal™ line. They also offer Scar Therapy, Defense SPF 30 and oh so much more. Have you guys tried any of Dr. Moy’s products? We would love it if you shared your opinions with us!
