Review: Adovia Exfoliating Body Scrub

Hello lovelies!

Today I will be reviewing Adovia's Exfoliating Body Scrub with Dead Sea Salt and Natural Oils. This body scrub is 11 ounces and retails for $15.95.

This Adovia scrub is made with real dead sea salt, which contains an infusion of 21 essential minerals for proper skin health. 

When I received this product I was really hoping it would help with my keratosis pilaris, red bumps on my arms caused by dead skin clogging my pores. After the first use I could tell a difference in the way my arms look, sadly it's not a cure, and you have to use it every day to keep the bumps away.

My thoughts? 5 Stars!

The last Adovia product I tried I wasn't 100% sold on, but I really did love this one and I've used it everyday since I got it in the mail! I love how soft my skin is after using this product, and it smells SO good! The only bad thing I can say about this scrub is that it makes your shower/tub extremely slippery, so make sure you rinse out your shower/tub before you get in the next time.

I love that Adovia products are 100% Cruelty Free  and are NEVER tested on animals. Adovia also offers a 100%  1-year, no questions asked, money back guarantee when you purchase their products.

I will definitely be repurchasing this scrub, I love the way it makes my skin feel and the results it gives! Adovia also has a facial scrub that I'm really interested in and I think I might order soon.

Review: Adovia Purifying Dead Sea Mud Mask

Hello Lovelies!

Today I will be reviewing Adovia's Purifying Dead Sea Mud Mask. This mask retails for $19.99 and if used once a week can last up to a year!

I've used this product about a few times now and I've applied it and removed it differently each time, so I think I have a good idea of what I think about the product.

This product is very thick, so it does take some work to get the product on and off. I like to leave it on for 20 minutes, it takes about 5 minutes to get on, and another 5-10 minutes to take off and moisturize. I tried removing this with just water, a washcloth, and my Olay face brush.
Personally I prefer using my face brush, I started off by rubbing water on my face to get the excess product off and then I used my face brush to get off the more stubborn areas.

The mask claims to minimize pores, clean pores, and it's anti-againg. The mask also treats eczema, blackheads, acne, acne scars, pimples, and psoriasis. I really like that you can pronounce the ingredients, such as Vitamin C, aloe vera, jojoba oil, and ginseng.

I'm wearing the mask as I type this review and my skin feels like it's tingling in some places and in others it feels like it's burning. I know from the past few times I've used this, that when I remove the mask my skin is going to be red.

My skin is usually combination/oily and lately I've been dealing with lots of oil and blackheads. I haven't noticed a difference with oil control with this mask, but I can definitely say it is amazing at removing blackheads. My nose and chin were full of blackheads and now there's barely any left.

Unfortunately, from the beginning I had problems with this product. The first time I used the mask I heard a pop from the bottle when I squeezed it, it took me a few minutes to realize it, but the top of the tube had burst and the mask was spilling out onto my hand.

After that, I looked up reviews of the mask and I think it's just me cause no one else mentioned this in the reviews. I really don't think it was Adovia's fault though, when I received my box it was pretty beat up, so I'm thinking that USPS might be to be blame for this one.

Honestly, I'm not sure yet if I'll be purchasing this after I finish up this tube. I want to keep using it and maybe in a few weeks I'll notice a difference and if I do I'll definitely update y'all about it.

Review: Vita Sciences Maxasorb Melatonin Cream

Hello lovelies!

Today, I'm back with another Vita Sciences review, I loved the B-12 Vitamin Cream so much that I had to try more of their products!

I've mentioned in the past that I have issues sleeping. Normally I go to bed at 4am and wake up at 7am, then usually around 10am or 11am I'll lay down and take a nap. This routine is not fun and I hate it! But I've been sleeping like this for about a year now and it's the only routine I've been able to keep.

I love that this melatonin cream is so easy to use! For the past week I've applying this on my arms 30 minutes before I go to bed and it's actually working. I can feel it start working after about 10 minutes and last week for the first time in over 5 years I actually managed to go to bed before midnight!

 The product is v smooth and even though it's not a moisturizer, it does contain moisturizing ingredients, and I can tell that my skin feels softer in the areas I apply it to. I'm really impressed and I've noticed that the longer I keep using it the better I sleep! I really wish I had tried using Melatonin sooner!

Overall, my experience with the Vita Sciences Maxasorb Melatonin Cream has been incredible! I've been falling asleep faster, staying asleep longer, and sleeping better than I have in years! I would definitely recommend this to any one who has issues with sleeping but doesn't want to use pills. My whole experience with Vita Sciences had been so great that I think next week I'm going to order the Nerve Pain Relief Cream!

What do you think of Melatonin creams? Will you be giving this a try?

Review: Vita Sciences Maxasorb B12 Vitamin B12 Cream

Hello lovelies!

It's been a while since I did a review that wasn't a book review and I've been meaning to get back into them for a while now. So today's the day I bring you a review on the Vita Sciences Maxasorb B12 Vitamin B12 Cream.

 

I have a weak immune system so I have to take a lot of vitamins, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Iron, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and B12 are just a few I take on daily basis. So when I got the opportunity to try this B12 Cream I jumped at it!

At first I was skeptical, I didn't think it was going to do anything for me because I inherited my low B12 levels from my mom. However, once I received the product I knew immediately that this was going to be something that I'm going to be repurchasing for years to come!

As I mentioned my mom also suffers from low B12 levels, she's been taking shots and pills for over 10 years with no results. So after I tried this for two days, I made her try it too! She LOVES it, she even took pictures of the bottle and told her boss and coworkers about it

You can apply this cream anywhere, but I decided to use it on my hands like a lotion because I have eczema and I wanted to see if it really would help with that like the company claims. I haven't noticed a huge difference, but my skin is definitely softer in those areas, so I can't wait to see what happens as I continue to use it.

I really like that this product is hypo-allergenic and it doesn't have a strong scent. I have super sensitive skin and it gets irritated easily so I try to stay away from fragrance. Another plus is that it's anti-aging!

Overall, my experience with the Vita Sciences Maxasorb B12 Vitmain B12 Cream was great! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who suffers from low B12 levels, in fact I think I'm going to take the bottle with me to show my doctor at my next appointment.

I love that I can get my B12 now without pills, shots, or drops! Two pumps and I'm good to go for the day!

So what do you think about vitamin creams? Will you be giving this a try?
