Earthwise Beauty Spotlight #5 ft. Carrot-a-Day

Aloe! Carrot Seed Oil! Blue German Chamomile, oh my!
Meet your new best friend, Carrot-a-Day*! This cream-gel face and eye serum is a definite MUST try from Earthwise Beauty.

Carrot-a-day is for all skin types, especially for skin lacking firmness, acne, combination, mature, and dry types. I tried this as a sample sometime last summer, but I had given up on it, as my skin was too dry. I contacted Ava after trying some of her samples, and she recommended I try this under my daily moisturizer. Too my disappointment, I only had a tiny bit of this left, and I was left feeling underwhelmed as I didn't get the full experience. A couple months ago I made an order for Green Leaves &Co., and I ordered a sample, but Ava graciously gifted me the .95oz. Now after dedicating myself for weeks, I feel like I have some gushing to do.

I have been enjoying putting this serum under my eyes, as it tightens and has a cooling effect. My favorite way to use this is to leave it overnight in the refrigerator and put it on my under eyes in the morning. The natural cooling effect mixed with the cold from the refrigerator has to be the most invigorating feeling upon waking. C-a-D also helps to reduce puffiness in the eye area. This serum has now become one of my favorite parts of my skincare routine. Sometimes you just have to try something a second time, or continue using if you don't see results right away, it can be worth it. (keep reading for my transformative results down below)

Ahhh look at that creamy beautiful gel in all of it's glory! I have some transformative results to share here as well. Do you suffer from acne scars, brown spots, or hyper-pigmentation? If so, you NEED this. I have had some pesky pimples show up on my temple area that just went away and left a cluster of scars! I had been looking for something to brighten my spots for over a year, and nothing. When I started using this under my eyes, I decided to put it on those spots too. A month or so later, my acne scars have lightened. I was actually shocked, even though I have read such great results from others who have tried this. I mean, this is a customer favorite for a reason, isn't it? If anyone is interested in hearing more on my results over time, let me know down below, or email me at andiethegreenqueen@gmail.com

Here are the ingredients from the website: Aloe vera barbadensis leaf fillet*, Daucus carota seed oil*, natural non-GMO tocopherol (vit. E), Helichrysum italicum (Italian everlasting) oil*, ECOCERT approved natural preservative {glycerin, Leuconostoc (radish root) ferment filtrate, Lonicera japonica (honeysuckle) flower extract, Lonicera caprifolium (honeysuckle) extract, Populus tremuloides bark extract, glucono-lactone}, Marticaria recutita (German blue chamomile) oil*, carbomer, ascorbic acid (vit. C), Mentha spicata (spearmint) oil*. *denoting organic ingredients

The spearmint oil in this delightful serum is the ingredient which helps in getting rid of puffiness. The German Blue Chamomile and the Helichrysum are both anti-inflammatory ingredients, yet they also help aid in reducing spots. Carrot seed oil, on the other hand, is filled with anti-oxidants; it has powerful anti-aging benefits, which is why this is Ava's take on a youth serum. Carrot seed oil also helps in rejuvenating skin cells, while also helping to heal eczema, psoariasis, and dermatitis. I also wanted to mention the scent of this is absolutely magical. The Blue German Chamomile and the Spearmint oil make for a unique herbal scent profile that can't really be described.
