I have mentioned this product on my Instagram, & YouTube many times, but I still have more to say! Sometimes when you love something or someone so much, you just have to keep expressing your gratitude! So here I am, exclaiming my love for the most wonderful mask I have come across. Ingredients: Maris limus (Hungarian Moor mud), Moroccan Rhassoul red lava clay, Kaolinite (kaolin clay), Saccharum officinarum (unsulphured blackstrap molasses from Paraguay)*†, Rosa damascena hydrosol/distillate* (Bulgaria), Hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) distillate* (14% alcohol; double distilled), cold-press unrefined organic Pentaclethra macroloba (pracaxi) pod oil (Brazil), L-ascorbic acid (active vit. C), natural ECOCERT-approved (for use in certified organic cosmetics) preservative {glycerin, Leuconostoc (radish root) ferment filtrate, Lonicera japonica (honeysuckle) flower extract, Lonicera caprifolium (honeysuckle) extract, Populus tremuloides bark extract, gluconolactone}, unrefined Daucus carota (carrot) seed oil*, Pelargonium graveolens (geranium) oil*, Rosa centifolia absolute*.*Certified organic. †Certified Fair Trade. The ingredients in this mask are tailored to all skin types, but work exceptionally well with acne prone, combination, mature, and skin that lacks firmness. There are unique ingredients in this mask, filled with vital minerals such as B6, iron, magnesium, and potassium. It contains detoxifying Moor mud, and Moroccan Lava clay which cleanses pores. The pracaxi oil in it helps to heal acne and scarring. It also contains carrot seed oil which firms, heals scars, and helps to reduce hyper pigmentation and brown spots +more. The mask smells of rose, geranium, and molasses, of course. It's definitely a different scent I have never experienced. I have come to love the smell, as I'm not a total rose scented lover. I know, who am I right? So, what more do I have to say? I use this every Sunday night as part of my relaxation ritual. I always use this mask after a facial steam, (which if you don't follow @earthwisebeauty on Instagram, you should be, as she just mentioned she is releasing her own facial steam blends in the near future) as I feel it really enhances the "spa in home" feel. I feel that steaming my face before using a mask really amplifies the outcome. I keep the mask on for about twenty minutes, as I like to be able to reap the benefits as much as I can. Once I take the mask off, my face feels moisturized and plump. I can see that my face is more bright and it also feels lifted. The next day after I use this mask, my acne is SIGNIFICANTLY reduced, if there is any left at all. This mask means serious business! I honestly don't know what I was doing with my skincare routine before this mask found its way into my life. If you're looking for something to make all your problems go away, well not actually, but skin problems, I would pick this one up.

Here it is, Ava's new creation, Ferns & Moss Face Serum* from Earthwise Beauty! This was launched a little over a month ago, after the Magical Babassu oil. Ava had been working on this oil for over a year, and the dedication & energy within it shows. Ferns & Moss is filled with unique ingredients, which is one of my favorite things about Ava's creations. Ferns and Moss actually happen to be two of my favorite parts of nature. To say that I was ecstatic when I found those ingredients were in there would be an understatement. (The Ferns & Moss oil is more orange in color than pictured here.) The scent of this is quite different than anything I have ever smelled; It is a little bit sweet, earthy, and nut like. So, let's get to talkin' about the ingredients already! There's Andiroba oil and Copaiba balsam which are both from the Amazon rain forest. The Andiroba oil is detoxifying, antibacterial +more. The copaiba balsam helps to heal scarring, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and can help to get rid of the appearance of acne, or spots. This face serum also contains two of my favorite oils which are moringa and seabuckthorn berry oil; Both containing vital minerals, and properties for youthful, regenerating skin. Then there's tamanu oil which is antibacterial, contains antioxidants, and has wound healing properties. Calendula! O! Calendula! Another of my all time favorite skin healing ingredients. Calendula is amazing for dry chapped skin, eczema, psoriasis, and can be soothing to other skin ailments. There's also Mongongo oil which is an African plant that is hydrating and regenerating. (+more ingredients, but these are the main ones I wanted to highlight) Ingredients: Organic unrefined cold-press Carapa guianensis (andiroba) oil, organic unrefined cold-press Moringa oleifera oil, organic unrefined cold-press Schinziophyton rautanenii (manquetti mongongo) oil, organic unrefined unfiltered cold-press Calophyllum inophyllum* (tamanu) oil, wildcrafted Hippophae rhamnoides (seabuckthorn berry) CO2 Total extract, Calendula officinalis CO2 Total extract*, wildcrafted Copaifera officinalis (copaiba balsam) essential oil, Ferula galbaniflua (galbanum) essential oil*, unrefined cold-press Simmondsia chinensis (golden jojoba) oil*, wildcrafted Evernia prunastri (oakmoss) absolute. *Certified organic. I am not sure where to start with what I have to say about this skincare product. I dedicated myself to a full month of using this face oil. At first, I wasn't putting this on my face when it was still moist, lesson learned. Ava suggested I use about 5 drops for my dry skin, but I feel like I only need 3. (really depends on the day) I have seen serious improvement in my skins texture over the last month. Ferns & Moss has been great for my dry skin over time. It is definitely a different oil texture than the Magical babassu which is ultra hydrating and leaves you with a satin finish. The Ferns & Moss oil has helped my skin retain moisture, while also keeping it firm. I notice my skin isn't craving more moisture throughout the day which really surprised me. It is somewhat of a thicker oil than I have ever used, and I really enjoy its texture. I have also noticed a huge improvement in my under eye, as they are less dark, and have become less puffy. Of course diet and hydration play a role in all of this, but I haven't changed anything in my regiment, except for adding this oil in. I was a little leery after trying the Magical Babassu oil, we all know how much my skin loves that oil. I was afraid I couldn't like another oil as much as the Babassu, but I can truly say I don't think I could live without this oil. I have seen an enhancement in my skins hydration, texture, discoloration, and acne healing. I love this oil in particular for overall skin improvement and regeneration. I can't wait to use this for a longer period of time, and give more of an update. For now, it's amazing formulation has definitely wowed me!

What may work for my skin may not work for yours, but this is my piece of what I thought of this skincare product.** |
