I've been really fortunate with the appearance of my skin as I ease into my mid forties. Obviously not that dewy fresh faced twenty-something anymore but that's life! So I've been really interested the vitamin C serum craze and really cautious about the nature of chemicals I use on my skin, and I found Joyal Beauty Natural Skin Care Super Brightening Vitamin C Serum which is alcohol free, Paraben-free, cruelty free 100% Vegan and Phthalate Free as well as 72% Organic!
It differs from other similar serum in that it only takes a very small amount and it is necessary to massage the face in a circular motion during application to get the best effects from it. However, like most similar serum products, it is really important to follow with a great moisturizer!
Joyal and BuView.com worked together to provide me with a full size product to personally use and then honestly review. ..I really do use these products and the results (good or bad, are genuinely my own) naturally!
So I have these stubborn sun spots that haven't gone away no matter what I have tried. Perfect way to test a brightening serum, methinks!
I'm rather sceptical about this particular issue because I've had them so long but I am really surprised and pleased to see that 11 days into my evening application...the two darkest spots are noticeably lighter!
At this point, in my humble opinion, this Serum gets a definite thumbs up from me. I'll continue to use it.

Azure Naturals Ultimate Retinol Anti Wrinkle Serum ~ My Overnight Beauty Secret!
Hello, friends! I have been very busy these past two weeks, testing a new product! BuView.com and Azure Naturals teamed up to provide me with a free full size (1fl oz) product of Ultimate Retinol Anti Wrinkle Serum. In exchange for the freebie, I have promised to use and honestly review it.
So, I began using this serum 14 days ago and I incorporated it into my usual beauty routine in the evening before going to bed. The serum is professional strength, but that really didn't register with me for about three days...when I woke up on the third day after beginning the trial, my face was a bit irritated, dry and flaking! It wasn't painful, just not what I expected! So I have been using only a very small amount of product EVERY OTHER DAY and that has made a huge difference. So if you are new to using this retinol product, EASE into it so your skin can adapt to its strong formula!
Like I said, it's been two weeks now and after my initial freak out, LOL, I find that using very little product consistently every other evening before going to bed (don't forget to moisturize!) I can see the diminished appearance of the fine lines on my forehead and around my mouth have virtually disappeared! I was really starting to become concerned about these lines...I was a smoker for 22 years (I quit in 2006 and haven't had one since!) and while I no longer smoke, it looked like my skin around my lips/mouth didn't get the memo! I'm pretty excited about my initial results with Azure Naturals Ultimate Retinol Anti Wrinkle Serum!
In brief, I do recommend this product. It is exceptionally important to remember to ease into it by using minimal product every other night until your skin gets used to the strong serum and it is imperative to MOISTURIZE with a hydrating deep moisturizer immediately after application. It took about 10 days (five applications) for me to see visible results and I am delighted by the reflection in my mirror. My facial skin appears to be renewed and a good portion of my fine lies have greatly diminished!

I am in love with the OZ Naturals Ocean Mineral Tonic!
February's always considered the month of LOVE. Well, I was given the opportunity to experience this product, Ocean Mineral Tonic by OZ Naturals. The company provided me a full size product for free for the purpose of testing and reviewing it, giving only my own thoughtful and honest opinion.
I have an established facial care routine that involves a gentle cleanser, followed by an exfoliating product then a serum and finally, a moisturizer. The OZ Naturals Ocean Mineral Tonic with Glycolic Acid, MSM and Vitamin C is meant to be used immediately prior to the application of any Serum and again as needed throughout the day, over makeup for a refreshing lift. It is also an excellent all over body tonic.
After the first use, I noticed that my serum was easily absorbed! After 7 days of use, I could see a brightening of my skin and now, 3 weeks into my daily routine with the OZ Naturals Tonic, I am ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH IT! It hydrates my skin, refreshes my makeup mid day and is my go to product from here on out. My fine lines and uneven skin tone are a result of having radiation therapy for cancer and again for the recurrence.
My skin is showing great signs of premature aging and I am only 44. I believe that this tonic, along with my careful and consistent facial care routine have given me the opportunity to truly push back the advancing telltale signs of time.
If you are on the fence about the usefulness of a tonic, I highly recommend this one!
