Review: Yumi Beautiful Vitamin C Serum


Everyone wants bright youthful looking skin these days, so when I got the chance to try the Yumi Beautiful Vitamin C serum I was very happy. This serum is a lightweight watery consistency, so it sinks into the skin immediately and it doesn't leave any residue whatsoever. 

What is a serum and what will it do for my skin?
 Serums are basically targeted treatments with highly concentrated ingredients designed to be quickly absorbed into the skin. The Yumi Beautiful Vitamin C Serum will brighten, firm, and hydrate your skin while boosting collagen and elastin production. It will actively combat the signs of aging by fighting free radical damage.
The Ingredients:
  • Aloe: A natural skin moisturizer and anti-inflammatory agent, Aloe will hydrate and soothe your skin.
  • Vitamin C: Will fight free radical damage which means it will make your skin look bright and youthful. Vitamin C is also great at protecting your skin from sun damage, but you still should always wear sunscreen. 
This serum also includes; Licorice, Green Tea, Pomegranate, Blackberry, Cranberry, Grape, Acai, Bearberry, Goji Berry, Noni, Raspberry, and Kale.


Pros & Cons: 
Pros-
  • The Yumi Beautiful Vitamin C Serum makes my skin feel very smooth and soft.
  • The serum sinks into my skin immediately and doesn't leave a sticky feeling behind.
  • My skin does look more hydrated and doesn't have as many dry patches.
  • I like that this serum comes in a pump instead of a dropper bottle, it's very user friendly.
The Cons-
  • I wish this serum was a thicker consistency, it is a little watery feeling so it does drip off of your hand while you are trying to apply it.
  • There is no scent at all, that may be a good thing to some people, but I like some scent to my facial products.

Review: Foxbrim Complete Anti-Aging Moisturizer


I love Foxbrim's products, they are always great and this one is no exception. For those of us that are always busy I know a lengthy skincare regimen might not always be possible, so multi-purposed products are our best bet. The Foxbrim Complete Anti-Aging Moisturizer takes the place of a serum, targeted treatment, and a moisturizer saving us a few steps. This moisturizer has added retinol and antioxidants to target the visible signs of aging and to keep our skin looking healthy. 

The Ingredients:

  • Vitamin A: Will gently exfoliate the skin from the inside out making it look for youthful and radiant. When using a product that uses Vitamin A always wear a sunscreen and let your Esthetician know before getting any chemical peels! Retinoids degrade in sunlight, so use this moisturizer at night right before bedtime so you can get the most out of this moisturizer! 
  • Jojoba Oil: The closest natural oil to your skin's own sebum, this oil works great with your skin to deeply hydrate without clogging your pores.
  • Aloe: A natural moisturizer and anti-inflammatory agent, Aloe will soothe and hydrate your skin.
Pros:
  • This is a light moisturizer and it sinks into my skin almost immediately
  • It leaves absolutely no residue on my skin
  • My skin feels noticeably tighter after using this moisturizer
  • I like that this moisturizer comes in a pump so you don't have to dig your fingers in a jar and contaminate the whole moisturizer
  • My skin looks much brighter and feels baby soft
Cons: 
  • This is a very lightweight moisturizer, so if you suffer from extremely dry skin this may not be enough moisture for you. This would still be a great treatment for anti-aging, just add a heavier moisturizer on top.
  • This has absolutely no scent to it, for me that is a con because I like a refreshing scent to my facial products. Some people however would see this as a good thing it's all about preference!

Review: Petunia's Skincare Anti-Aging Hyaluronic Acid Serum


Hyaluronic Acid is a very little known skincare ingredient, but it's one that is key to diminishing the signs of aging. I got the chance to review the Petunia's Skincare Anti-Aging Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and it worked wonders on my skin. 

I love the Petunia's Skincare Anti-Aging Hyaluronic Acid Serum because it has a very short list of ingredients, which means it is a highly powerful skincare treatment.
Ingredients:
  • Neroli: Improves skin's elasticity and stimulates cell turnover. Neroli can also help with diminishing scars.
  • Hyaluronic Acid: Binds 1,000 times it's own weight in water. This is a great natural skin moisturizer and helps drive moisture deep into the different layers of skin.
  • Ferulic Acid: Treats aging skin and sun spots. It is also used in combination with Vitamin E and C to boost their anti-oxidant benefits.
  • Vitamin C: Neutralizes free radical damage so it helps treat aging skin. Vitamin C also helps brighten the skin making it look bright and youthful.


I suffer from extremely dry skin, so the Petunia's Skincare Anti-Aging Serum has been a great treatment for me. I cleanse my skin as I normally do, then I apply toner and then I apply this serum, after that I add my moisturizer and then I'm done! This serum has dramatically changed the suppleness of my skin, I no longer have dry flaky areas on my face. The Petunia's Skincare Anti-Aging Serum would be great for any skin type, dry, combination, oily, sensitive, or acneic. 




I love that this serum comes in a pump bottle, that way you can administer the correct amount to your fingertips and you don't find yourself wasting product. This is a thick consistency so it doesn't drip all over the place, and I find that this serum sinks into the skin very quickly.
Petunia's Skincare Anti-Aging Serum is 100% cruelty free and they offer a 100% money back guarantee! The only negative I have to say about this serum is the fact that is smells very strongly of Neroli, and personally I'm not a fan of that scent, but once you get past the scent it's a great product!

Review: Miracalis Anti Aging Facial Serum


These days everyone is concerned with how to prevent the signs of aging effecting their skin. As an Esthetician 90% of the clients I see in for facials on a daily basis say they are concerned with aging skin, so I always recommend a great anti-aging serum, so when I got the chance to try out the Miracalis Anti-Aging Facial Serum I was really skeptical since there are so many on the market. I have been using this Anti-Aging Serum on my skin for about 3 weeks and it looks much brighter and more hydrated! 


What is a serum and why do you need one?
A facial serum is essentially a concentrated jar of goodness for your skin! The difference between a facial serum and a moisturizer is, a serum leaves out the oily or creamy ingredients that are involved in a moisturizer and focuses on driving highly active amazing ingredients into your skin. Think of a facial serum as a treatment instead of a moisturizer. Serums are also great because their thinner consistency makes them absorb more quickly into the different layers of your skin. Once again, as an Esthetician, I will debunk a common misconception- you absolutely DO need to still apply a moisturizer after your serum has absorbed into your skin. 
What Ingredients are in the Miracalis Anti-Aging Moisturizer and what are their benefits?
  • D-Panthenol: Reduces inflammation and helps promote wound healing, it also helps restore the outer most layers of the skin. D-Panthenol is also great at hydrating the skin by reducing transepidermal water loss (dehydration of the skin)
  • Vitamin E: Promotes healing and helps fight free radical damage, meaning it helps fight the signs of aging
  • Vitamin A: Gently exfoliates the skin, in turn fighting age spots, wrinkles, and sun damage
  • Jojoba Oil: The best moisturizer your skin can get, Jojoba oil most closely resembles your skin's own natural sebum. This oil is non-comedogenic (it won't clog your pores & make you break out!)
The Miracalis Anti-Aging serum will smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, promote collagen production and make your skin look supple and youthful. In a clinical study 95% of volunteers saw increased suppleness in their skin in 28 days! They also offer a 100% money back guarantee, which shows they know you will love this serum!
My experience using Miracalis Anti-Aging Serum:
I have extremely dry skin, and since I have been using this serum I have noticed my skin has felt more soft and hydrated. I cleanse my skin as normal, then I pat dry and apply the Miracalis Anti-Aging Serum to my face, neck, and decollete. I let that sink in for a few minutes then I apply my moisturizer as normal. My skin especially around my eye area has looked more firm, and overall my skin has a great glow about it. I absolutely love this serum, I find that my skin craves it!
