Beauty Review: Belli Pregnancy Friendly Anti-Blemish Face Wash & Acne Control Spot Treatment

Belli Skin Care is skincare that is absolutely safe to use while you’re pregnant. Not all skincare is, we all know that. Some skincare contains harsh chemicals that should be avoided. The chemicals that are in our skin/hair care does seep into our bloodstream through the cells in our skin/hair follicles, so going safe is the only way to go!

My skin goes OVERTIME while I’m pregnant, I swear! At the beginning half of the pregnancy my face is covered in oil it seamed. I had acne more when I was pregnant then I EVER did when I was a teenager. I guess it is just all the pregnancy hormones, but I wasn’t “glowing” at all, except from oil.

My hormones were running rampant, making me BEG for something to get rid of the acne. I couldn’t handle my once beautiful acne-free skin so full of blemishes, and not being able to do anything about it.

I was excited to be able to review two of the Belli Skin Care Acne Prone Skin Products. They sent me the Anti-Blemish Facial Wash (Complexion Perfection) and the Acne Control Spot Treatment.

This is the Belli Anti-Blemish Facial Wash, which is totally free of any dyes, phthalates, and preservatives. I love that this is a multipurpose acne cleanser. It can be used as a regular face wash or it can be left on for 5 minutes as a mask.

I rotate between the two. If I feel like my face is exceptionally oily, I’ll use this as a face mask and keep it on for the 5 minutes, but if I’m in a hurry I’ll use it as a cleanser. It works unbelievably amazing as both!

This cleanser/mask is completely clear, you can immediately tell that there aren’t any dyes inside. It smells really good, reminds me of citrus cleaner. My face feels SO clean after using this, and it isn’t overly dry. It just cleanses the extra oil, while keeping the natural oils on your face from being stripped.

A dime sized portion is all that is needed to cleanse the entire face. This ONE bottle is sure to last quite some time even if you use it twice on a daily basis. It is great for calming the skin and helping rid of that pesky acne that is keeping you from “glowing” like every mommy-to-be wants to.

This has completely canceled out my acne already, and I’ve only been using it for about 3 weeks. I could see a change within just the first week, which was astonishing. You don’t have to be pregnant to use this, it are amazing for anyone who suffers from acne-prone skin that doesn’t want to be subjected to harsh chemicals, dyes, and preservatives!

Regular acne medicine contains salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and/or benzoyl peroxide-- common acne fighting ingredients that should be avoided during pregnancy. This face wash has none of those ingredients in it. It has lactic acid as the acne fighting ingredient, which IS safe to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Contains lemon peel oil, a natural anti-bacterial and skin brightener

With green tea extract and cucumber, both are rich in antioxidants

About the Cleanser:

Acne Clearing Facial Wash is an exfoliating wash; rich in powerful acne-ridding ingredients that leaves skin clear and refined, without over-drying. The safest acne solution for pregnancy, Belli Acne Clearing Facial Wash uses hydroxyacid to lift away dirt, oil and bacteria, promoting clean and blemish-free skin. Most acne treatments are contra-indicated during pregnancy because of adverse effects to baby. Belli's breakthrough formulation is the first to safely address pregnancy-related acne using lactic acid ¿ an ingredient that is naturally found in the body.

Buy it: Belli Anti-Blemish Facial Wash $22 for 6.7 oz..

 

The second item I received was the Belli Skin Care Acne Control Spot Treatment.

When pairing this with the amazing Anti-Blemish Face Wash, it just amazed me at how quickly the already formed blemishes were gone. I was thinking it would take at least 3 days to be rid of them, but with just the first use it totally dried them up.

It smells a little because it has sulfur as an ingredient, but the smell doesn’t last long and it isn’t overwhelming. You can use this as a spot treatment or rub a little on your entire face after washing. I’ve been swiping a little all over in hopes that it will stop the forming blemishes as well as dry up those that were already formed.

I loved how quickly it soaked into the skin. This can be used both morning and night, and can be worn under makeup, moisturizer, or even sunblock! The more you use it, the quicker results you’ll get.

It’s shocking how well these work together and how quickly they show results. I didn’t want to be walking around looking like a proactive commercial beginning. It’s gross and makes you think you look horrifying. You don’t have to be trapped with hormonal acne, and feel the need to hide!

If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or just want something all natural to help with the acne.. you should definitely try both of these! They rock!

About the Acne Control Spot Treatment

FREE of salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and benzoyl peroxide-- common acne fighting ingredients that should be avoided during pregnancy

Beauty Review: Jabu’She Skincare; Facial Tonic

Jabu’she is a skin care line from Sweden that’s designed for anyone who wants to improve the look and feel of aging or sun-damaged skin. Jabu’she also gives the skin a finer luster, increased vitality, and fewer visible pores.

I was excited to get to be able to work with them on a review, because they have AWARD winning anti-aging skincare that also reverses signs of sun exposure. I got to choose 3 items from the site, which was hard. They have a very clean, simple website that is easy to navigate.. and amazing products that are designed just as beautifully.

The first item I chose was the Jabu’she Cleansing Lotion. I love this cleansing lotion and have added this to my daily skin care regimen as the main cleaner for the last month.

This is a very gentle cleansing lotion that doesn’t strip the skin of it’s natural oils. I have oily skin, but this still works very well for me. I use twice on a daily basis and then add in a face scrub 2 days of the week and a mask on another.

I love the scent, it smells so clean and fresh- reminds me of freshly bloomed flowers! I love the way my skin feels after I wash with this cleansing lotion.

As you can tell it doesn’t get sudsy. The suds can actually strip the skin of ALL oils, even the ones your skin needs to remain healthy and not dry out. My skin feels so soft, smooth, and refreshed after using this.

It is just so invigorating! It feels so amazing because it is actually BUILT like a lotion. It calms and heals stressed out skin while also cleaning it. I can’t tell you how AMAZING this is at cleaning off makeup without any left behind.

it’s also great at removing mineral eyeshadow and mascara, which usually takes an eye makeup remover to get off. I only had a slight raccoon look after, which came off with a slight swipe of a towel after washing!

This balances the skin tone and texture overtime, while also firming and refreshing it! Couldn’t ask for anything more from a face cleaner! I LOVE that my skin stays moisturized, yet it isn’t oily!

The ingredients contain cucumber extract which is what helps to naturally moisturize and balance the skin. Peach extract helps to smooth, lift, and refresh the skin. AND chamomile heals and calms.

Buy it: Jabu’she Cleansing Lotion $29.95

 

The second items I chose was the Jabu’she Facial Tonic. This is different from most toners on the market today because it doesn’t contain alcohol. Most people don’t know but the alcohol in toners can actually dry skin out and make them start to peel overtime.

I love that this has a pump action top. Usually toners come with a screw on or pop off lid, where you have to use a cotton pad or ball with it. I love this way SO much better.

It not only saves time, but I am not wasting more than I use. It’s a win/win situation. I love this facial tonic. I’ve noticed my skin feels a lot more rejuvenated and balanced since using it.

Like I said before, I have oily skin. More now since I’ve been tanning on a regular basis. It seems to bring the oil to the top even more, so I was glad that this has balanced the oiliness.

I’ve noticed it numbs a little at first. I accidentally sprayed it on my lips and they went numb. So after that I made it a point to wipe my lips with a towel immediately after spraying my face with this tonic.

It has the same calming and moisturizing ingredients that the cleansing lotion has in it. It has Cucumber extract to balance and moisturize, Peach extract to smooth, lift, and refresh, and Chamomile to heal and calm.

My face just feels SO clean after! I love it!

Buy It: Jabu’she Facial Tonic $31.95

The third I chose was the Repairing Overnight Moisture Mask. I love it because it’s an anti-aging mask that helps to diminish fine lines and wrinkles overtime.

It is so moisturizing and rehydrates dried out skin. If your skin is in desperate need of moisture, this is what you need. It smells so amazing, goes on so smoothly, and you only NEED leave it on for 15 minutes but best if left overnight!

The overnight mask is a light blue/green in color and smells like a mixture of cucumbers and peaches to me. So invigorating and uplifting!

I’ve been using it overnight, and in the morning my skin looks so replenished. It feels so stimulated and restored of all the moisture it loses at night.

Buy It: Jabu’She Repairing Overnight Moisture Mask. $39.95

I am amazed at just how light all of these are on my skin (even the moisture mask). My pores have seemed to have shrank a couple sizes (which is AMAZING for someone with large pores).

Keep your eyes peeled for the GIVEAWAY which will feature the same items!

Review: L’Bri Pure n Natural Skincare

I have been using a new skincare line for 3 months now. It included everything in the skincare line, so I stopped using everything else (except day and night creams) so that I could fully access how this line really worked.

L’Bri skincare contains absolutely no petrochemicals, parabens or sulfates and the number one ingredient in every product is Aloe Vera.
The healing and soothing qualities make Aloe Vera absolutely perfect for skincare. It can soothe red and irritated skin, while healing scars, acne, and other skin problems.

I’m pretty sure I fell deeply in love with this entire skincare with just the first use. As I progressed with the use, my love deepened. What amazed me the most was how my skin responded to the healing properties of the Aloe Vera. It left my skin glowing and absolutely flawless.
Deep Pore Cleanser

It’s nothing new to everybody that I have oily skin. I am always on the lookout for something that will help unclog my impossible pores. I hate the blackheads that form on my nose and my chin. I don’t get very many breakouts, but when I do they seem as huge as volcano’s.
It’s because my pores are SO deep. When I was in high school I had almost completely given up on finding something that wouldn’t only help my skin but would make it to where I didn’t have to worry about my pores looking huge and hideous.
Deep pores and blackheads go hand and hand, so I was thrilled to see “DEEP PORE” cleanser. I loved how gentle this was on my skin. I could feel how clean my skin was after using it, but my skin also felt nourished and taken care of. There’s nothing better than finding a cleanser that works EXTREMELY well while also helping to benefit the skin.
This was gentle, yet thorough. Before L’bri, I would have to use a makeup cleanser and a skin cleanser. This actually takes ALL of my makeup off without a hitch. It was even tough enough to take off all my eye makeup (mascara included) and didn’t leave me looking like a raccoon.
A deep cleansing, water-soluble gel enriched with Aloe Vera Barbadensis, Vitamins A, C, E and Natural Botanical Extracts. Removes all traces of make-up, pore clogging oils and environmental pollutants from the skin. Helps control breakouts and blemishes.

Only $16.50 for a three month supply.
Exfoliating Face & Body Scrub

To me there is NOTHING better than an exfoliating face AND body scrub. I’ve rarely seen them together, but this works very well. My body skin can become dull and dry looking in the colder, winter months.
I love using this because I can actually FEEL the exfoliation as it’s happening. It actually feels like there are tiny “sand granules” in the skincare, although that isn’t the case. They work to exfoliate the dry, tired looking skin cells without further drying the skin out.
This is amazing at removing the “dry flakes” without making my skin drier than It started out. This is a gentle exfoliation though, and is safe for daily use. It doesn’t scratch or tear your delicate skin cells.
My skin looks so much healthier, fresher, and smooth. No longer are those dull, dry, itchy patches visible on my body. It has also helped to remove the excess oil on my face, so there is nothing but smooth, acne free skin to be seen!
For all skin types. A remarkable refining formula that gently lifts tired, dull surface cells and imbedded impurities without scratching the skin. Contains Aloe Vera, Natural Clays, Honey, Ground Almonds, Vitamins A, C, E, Ocean Sea Plants and Essential Oils of Lemongrass, Geranium, Clay Sage, Chamomile and Violet Leaves. Only $17.50 for a four month supply!
Rejuvenating Facial Peel

This has made my skin do a complete 180, a complete transformation in sync with the other L’bri products. This is one of the absolute indispensible items  within the line. If I didn’t have the money to buy the others, I would still try and swing it to where I would never run out of this.
It is just so astonishing to see all those dead skin cells just slide off like it’s a mud pie. It’s amazing because it isn’t harsh on the skin. Doesn’t leave it red, irritated, or hurting. Just feels like you’ve used a regular cleanser that had something really really good in it-The superpower of cleaners. 
This is more like a gel then anything, so it goes on very well. It has an instant cooling effect and only needs to be left on for a minute. I really liked that it was a time saver. Usually with face peels they have to be on for 3-5 minutes. I like using peels before I get in the shower—so I’d have to find something to occupy my time while waiting before.
Now it isn’t a problem. I can just rub it on and rub some small circular motions (all over the face) twice a week. I usually use this with my Toilettree professional skin care system—(it has rotating scrub brushes that clean the face). I just put the peel on and then continue to do the circular motion with the electronic face brush.
I’ve been using this for 3 months now and I haven’t even put a dent in the jar. You don’t need very much at all and it goes a long way. I am betting that a small jar could last me a 9 months to a year.
It's all about Enzymes! Right before your eyes, this unique exfoliator made with natural fruit enzymes of green papaya and calming pineapple along with stabilized aloe vera gel work to dissolve dead skin cells without acids as it dramatically improves skin tone, clarity and texture for a healthy, vibrant complexion. Results are immediately visible. Excellent for all skin types including those with rosacea and acne prone skin.
Only $38.95.
Facial Masque


Firmer, lighter, smoother skin? YES please. As this hardens my face begins to feel like I am made of wax.
It’s pretty funny to feel your face tighten up SO much within such a short amount of time. I probably looked like I had just gotten a shot of botox when it fully dried. LOL

I love the deep cleansing feeling that comes with this masque. As soon as I rinse this off, there is nothing but pure fresh clean feeling skin. It just felt so silky after the use. I leave this on anywhere between 10-15 minutes a couple times a week (mixing it up with the masque).
For all skin types. Experience an instant lift. An intensive deep cleansing treatment with soothing Aloe Vera, Natural Botanical Extracts, and Essential Oils, clears away dead flaky cells and dulling debris as it tightens and tones the skin. Skin's smoothness returns and crepiness and enlarged pores are diminished. Excellent for blemished skin and enlarged pores.
Only $28.50 for a five month supply.
Smooth & Firm Eye Repair Gel

I’m still young, so I don’t have crow’s feet or anything like that. As a beauty maven, I KNOW that if I use something BEFORE it happens that it may NOT happen, right?

I love putting this on. It’s a bright green, gel like cream that soothes on impact. It’s instantly firming and begins to tighten as it dries, which I like.
This little one ounce jar could also last me for a very long time. I only have to use a very small amount for both eyes. I notice that if I DO get more than needed, it still seeps in very well.
If I am feeling tired, dragged down, and exhausted at night when I put this on- it seems to invigorate the tiredness and relax at the same time.
Eyes are the first thing to show signs of aging and if I CAN allude that, I will. This is designed to replenish the elasticity that seeps out as you age, as well as decrease fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles.
DARK CIRCLES is something that I DO have now. I have an irregular sleeping pattern. If I can, I’ll stay up as long as I can trying to cram work. Then I end up sleeping for a very long time. Because I do this, I end up with dark circles because my sleeping pattern isn’t healthy at all.
I actually had to use 2 types of concealers (underneath my foundation) just to diminish the darkness of the circles. I seriously do NOT want to walk around looking like death is going to be knocking at my door. BUT with my hours, work schedule, and kids- I simply HAVE to sleep when I can and cram as much work when possible.
What I loved about this was that within a week I could tell a difference in the dark circles under my eyes. They were very very light, considering they had been a week earlier I was TOTALLY taken back with working power.
My eyes just looked so fresh and rejuvenated which is what I had been looking for. Refreshed, beautiful skin that had absolutely no flaws.
For all skin types. Our clinically proven formula contains a superior anti-aging tetra peptide which works to dramatically reduce puffy eyes while enhancing skin elasticity and smoothness. In addition, we have added our own proprietary blend of active botanicals that work to reduce dark circles and wrinkles, improve microcirculation and strengthen the skin's collagen and elastin while reducing the presence of free radicals. Safe for even the most sensitive of eyes.
Only $30.50 for a four month supply.
Pure Aloe Vera Jelly

This is amazing to use everywhere on your body. I use this mixed with a body butter all over my body when I get out of the shower. It works amazing after a shave, especially if I’ve accidentally knicked myself. It helps to speed up the healing process of cuts, burns, and scrapes.
I have Keratosis Pilaris (chicken skin) on my thighs. There are only a few things that have been able to relieve the tiny itchy red bumps.. the Vitamin A cream that I was prescribed ended up being almost $80 a tube, so I began looking for other options to help people with this condition get relief too.
This is a VERY great thing to use in mix with a regular Vitamin A cream and a body oil. I use a body butter and this one day and then the next the oil and this. This makes it less itchy and seems to make the bumps less visible.
For all skin types. Pure unadulterated Aloe Jelly penetrates quickly to calm and soothe irritated or inflamed skin. Acts as a natural bandage to help the healing of blemished skin. Helps speed the healing of cuts, insect stings, and burns. No medicine cabinet should be without it!
Only $17.50
Klearaway
I love that this helps fight blemishes, yet doesn’t contain chemicals that will dry the skin out or irritate it. Usually with those very harsh acne treatments my skin becomes dull in patches and they seem to make the blemishes worse.
Because this has Aloe Vera as one of the main ingredients, it soothes the skin while helping to clean the pores and reduce blackheads and breakouts. It’s a creamy white lotion like acne killer, and has absolutely NO fragrance.
It contains salicylic acid, so it helps to remove the bacteria that causes the acne to emerge. There are many products on the market that will DRY the problem area out, make it worse, or actually make you have issues where there wasn’t before.
This is soothing to the skin. So not only does it help prevent bacteria and acne, but it helps moisturize my skin too. I can wear makeup over top of this without it caking my makeup up.
The on-the-spot acne and blemish treatment that works every time, KlearAway, is now offered in a large one-ounce size. KlearAway is so good, it works under makeup. Formulated with Aloe, Willow Bark, and Papaya extracts, along with the pimple fighter Salicylic Acid, KlearAway will not dry out or irritate the skin. Heal fast with KlearAway. Now available in this convenient one-full-ounce size for ONLY $19.95.
Deep Pore Freshener

The best thing about this freshener is that it’s alcohol free. It’s balancing and is an amazing end to the cleaning process. I can use this twice daily (as recommended) without it drying my skin out.
You swipe this on your face with a cotton ball. This helps to remove the cells on your face that have become dead and just stay there. It helps to stimulate circulation in the face as well as shrink the pores.
I love that it helps to diminish breakouts and blackheads by killing the bacteria that causes them. It is effective against psoriasis, exzema, acne and other skin conditions. The reason it’s so effective is because of the ingredient Horestail extract, which is a natural astringent, which also helps to soften and smooth the skin.
It also helps prep the skin to help seep and keep in the moisture from moisturizers and night creams. I really LOVED this. 
This alcohol free balancing freshener completes the cleansing process and helps protect the skin from bacteria by restoring its normal pH balance. The calming properties of Aloe Vera, Chamomile, Bee Pollen, Horsetail, Balm Mint and Hypericum, stimulates circulation, refines pores and manages breakouts without drying.
Only $16.50 for a three month supply.
Oil Free Moisturizer

I love this because it is the perfect moisturizer for oily skin. It hydrates without oil, so the skin stays nourished without all the greasiness. I can use the deep pore cleanser, eye serum, freshener, klearaway, and then this ALL under makeup without it ever showing. It’s really the perfect skincare for oily skin.
It absorbs very quickly, which is another benefit. I don’t have to sit and wait for it to absorb before putting on my makeup. It has really help to improve my overall skin texture. My skin is smoother and my deep pores have seemed to unclog.
For oily and combination skin:  A light, oil-free lotion that nourishes and regulates excess oil while providing necessary hydration. Will not clog pores; allows skin to breathe.
Only $23.95 for a three month supply.

Review: Tanda Luxe Skin Rejuvenation Device

FDA cleared and recommended by Dermatologists, the NEW Tanda Luxe is a professional-grade handheld red light therapy device which offers powerful treatments in the comfort of your home, in just minutes per day.

The Tanda Luxe is totally different from other skin rejevenation products because it works from the inside-out, not outside-in. It helps your skin to learn how to act younger.

Coupled with sonic vibration and gentle warming in a unique massaging treatment head, these complementary technologies deliver a professional photofacial experience for luxurious, soft, smooth, glowing skin.

We all know that as we grow older that our collagen levels decrease dramatically over the years! This means that our once beautifully puffed skin is now beginning to wrinkle and show signs of aging.

Aging can show up as rough texture, overall dullness, redness, fine lines and wrinkles. Tanda Luxe works to break that cycle to get your skin back into the beautifulness that it once was.

I started using this about 2 months ago. It isn’t something that you can use and see an instant miracle. It is something that you have to continually use a couple of times a week for a couple of weeks to see results.

Within 2-3 weeks, people were starting to ask me what I had done differently with my skin. They said that my overall skin tone looked like it was healthier and glowing! It DID improve my overall skin condition.

(No Makeup)!

You may think that because you see RED lights that it might burn or tingle- it doesn’t. It’s actually quite soothing and feels similar to being in the tanning bed. It comes with those specialized tanning bed goggles so that your eyes aren’t affected by the light that comes off of the Luxe.

You may think that the pricing on this is kind of steep- but it really does pay for itself after a couple of months. Just add up all those extra anti-aging skin care cleansers, moisturizers, day creams, night creams, and such would cost 6 months from now. Now you can use a regular moisturizer and use this only a couple times a week. You aren’t using 20 different products trying to keep your skin healthy and young looking!

This also comes with a blue attachment for acne. If your still on that late 20- late 30 level and still have those pre menstrual breakouts, this is perfect. You can clear the acne bumps and still revitalize the fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture! Win-Win!

My skin has started feeling much thicker, I look like I gained a little in my facial area (which is what I wanted). My skin looks refreshed and refined, and I owe it all to the Tanda Luxe.

Dermatologist use red light therapy ALL the time to heal wounds, clear acne, and help skin texture and tone. Now it’s available for your very own use at HOME. No pain. No irritation. No dryness.

How to USE:

Step 1: Before use, cleanse your skin to remove makeup or creams that may contain reflective materials

Step 2: Press the orange power button once to activate the device, the indicator will flash green once the device has been activated.  Note, the device will not turn on until the treatment head is direct contact with the skin.  Treat target areas by lightly placing the treatment head over each area(ex. around the eyes) for 3 minutes, twice weekly.  For a full facial experience glide the device over your whole face for approximately 12 minutes.

Step 3: Apply your favorite skincare products as your skin is now better prepared to absorb other products .

BUY IT: You can buy the Tanda Luxe for $195

OR if you’re looking for something for your sons/daughters grandson/granddaughters acne, you can buy the Tanda Zap for only $49 and a portion of the profits goes toward an anti-bullying campaign

Review: Tatcha Skin Care.

I was sent 5 items from Tatcha Skincare; one step camellia cleansing oil, radiant deep brightening serum, supple moisture rich silk cream, and beauty blotting papers.

Tatcha’s mission is to share with US the secret that has been held for over 200 years- the secret to the beautifully flawless porcelain skin that all Japanese women have.

The one step camellia cleansing oil

I love this cleansing oil. At first I wasn’t so sure that a cleansing oil would be right for my naturally oily skin. BUT this has a natural oil from the Camellia flower. The reason it wasn’t over the top oily is because it is one of the top oils that are quickly absorbed by human skin.

It comes is a pearly white bottle with a dropper style top that makes it easy to get JUST the right amount.The bottle designed to be simple yet elegant.

This Tatcha One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil is more herbal than not. It is a thickish yellow liquid.

On my forearm is Geri G Foundation, CoverGirl brow & eye makers midnight black, Revlon Colour Rush Duo Eye Shadow & Dalton Cosmetics Lash Fix

It doesn’t take scrubbing and scrubbing to get the makeup off. My skin isn’t red or irritated from harsh cleansers or rough washcloths. All I have to do is rub the Cleansing oil directly on the makeup and gently wipe it off with a washcloth and it’s gone. My skin is left silky smooth and completely rehydrated.

The Camellia Oil in this cleansing oil has high levels of omega fatty acids, polyphenols and vitamin E which is very healthy for skin. The bottle is simple yet ornately made. The essential fatty acids help to promote healthy skin and prevent skin problems such as acne.

Acne is caused when skin overproduces keratin and sebum. They end up blocking skin pores and causing infections. Essential Fatty Acids destroy the fatty deposits that block the pores and cause acne, and eventually end up healing skin that was afflicted by the pores and acne.

I love the smell of this. It has a botanical, flowery, herbal scent that is relaxing and yet invigorating at the same time. This wasn’t just staying on TOP of my skin leading to breakouts. This was actually nourishing and hydrating without feeling too MUCH. This only takes about 2-3 pumps to completely polishes my skin and removes all sign of makeup (even mascara).

Who it's for:
All skin types. Non-irritating. Non-sensitizing. Dermatologist tested.

BUY IT: You can buy the Camellia Cleansing Oil for $48

 

Radiant Deep Brightening Serum

Tatcha’s Deep Brightening Serum is made with Rice Extract, Silk Protein, Green Tea leaf extract, Zizyphus Jujuba Fruit Extract, and tons of other natural extracts to give the skin moisture and to brighten those dark spots.

Rice extract gives both short and long term moisturizing to all layers of the skin. It also boosts collagen to give the skin extra suppleness and firmness. My skin has been beautifully hydrated and satiny smooth since I began using this.

It is a lightweight lotion type of serum, so it seeps into the skin very quickly. My skin felt very refreshed after I used this. Revitalizing AND stimulating? Yes, please!

I didn’t really have any dark spots to begin with, so I can’t really say if my skin has benefited from the lightening aspects of this brightening serum. But my complexion did have a healthy glow after a week of use, that wasn’t there before.

BUY IT: You can buy the Deep Brightening Serum for $150 from the website

 

Supple Moisture Rich Silk Cream

 

Luxurious yet weightless feeling gel-cream of liquid silk, squalane, royal jelly + HADASEI-3 Bioactive Complex.

This is an amazing cream is long lasting and very beneficial to keeping young looking skin. Although it is an extremely great moisturizing it isn’t smothering to my rather oily skin. I can put this on at night and wake up with radiant, non-oily skin.

It doesn’t have any heavy oils in it, is the reason it doesn’t OVERDO the whole moisture thing. It is lightweight and feels more like a gel then a moisturizer. It seeps into my skin very quickly, so I can put this on right before bed and not have to worry that my pillow is going to get ruined.

The texture is delicate and satiny feeling. My skin is nothing but soft and luminous after I put this on!

BUY IT: You can buy the Supple Moisture Rich Silk Cream for $150

Petal Fresh Original Aburatorigami Papers

Removes excess oil and sweat without disturbing makeup or stealing moisture from the skin. A powder and primer alternative that improves the wear of makeup.

These papers come with 30 in each pack. OH my did I fall in love with these. I use these after I’ve put my makeup on. All you have to do is pat your skin with the paper and it soaks up all the extra oils and grime in your skin.

As someone who has oily skin- I have been packing these in my purse to dab on my face throughout the day. My skin and my makeup always looks and feels absolutely fresh and lively. No more waiting to get home and find out my makeup is half gone because of the oils that have formed under my makeup!

BUY IT: You can buy a 30 pack of the Petal Fresh Original Aburatorigami Papers for $12.

 

About Tatcha:

For over 300 years, Japan’s geisha have been held in awe for their enduring wisdom and breathtakingly beautiful, porcelain skin.

Perfected through centuries of timeless rituals, it was widely believed these beauty secrets had been passed down from one generation of geisha to the next by word of mouth alone.

That is, until TATCHA rediscovered their coveted daily regimes in a 200-year-old manuscript, written in the twilight of Japan’s Edo Period.

Traveling back to the City of 2000 Temples (Kyoto), TATCHA has worked with teams of scientists, scholars and geisha themselves to decipher the rituals and ingredients from this text.  What we uncovered is the very foundation of Eastern skincare and beauty.
