Day Face Lotion


Now that I've shared about the Exoliance Radiance Cleanser from Green Street Luxuries, I'm so excited to finally share about the Day Face Lotion, also a Green Street Luxuries Pearl.



Day Face Lotion:

  • Is 100% all natural. Is Paraben, Gluten and SLS free!
  • For all skin types.
  • Contains honey -- a natural antiseptic with the ability to attract water. Acts as a great moisturizer.
  • Contains Olive oil, which moisturizes skin, prevents signs of aging, replaces moisture in the skin and elasticity. Has healing properties and can help maintain youthful skin.
  • Contains Sea Buck Thorn oil, which helps sun damaged skin, abrasion and helps with wrinkles, dryness and signs of prematurely aged skin.
  • Contains Shea Butter, which provides natural UV protection, daily use can reduce sun exposure damages and slows down signs of aging. Also is a protectant against smoke, smog, pollutants and other elements.
  • Contains Cocoa butter, which is rich in Vitamin E and is soothing and hydrating. It also provides collagen, which is a major help for signs of aging like wrinkles.

What I love about the Day Face Lotion:

My favorite face lotion in the world! I have finally, for once in my life, put a lotion on my face and did not have shiny, greasy skin afterward! Hallelujah!

Not only does this Day Face Lotion moisturize my skin without leaving a greasy or sticky residue, the benefits of the ingredients are overwhelmingly exciting! So exciting that I don't miss a day of using this Day Face Lotion, even if it means being late. The anti-aging, moisturizing and other benefits are unbelievably nice.

The Day Face Lotion --  as I've even explained in my video where I spoke about the Green Street Luxuries products -- has an orange tint to it due to the Seabuck Thorn berry oil, but as the bottle tells you, it doesn't affect the actual lotion or anything and the color doesn't show up on your skin. It's actually kind of neat to have a bright organge colored face lotion! Beats the ol' typical white.


The Day Face Lotion is creamy, but doesn't leave any residue behind -- thank God! It goes on smooth and a small amount goes a long way. The feeling left on my skin is very close to a silky feeling. The Day Face Lotion has got to be the most moisturizing lotion I've used yet. I tend to just have dry, weird skin no matter what I do. I've even used oil (like olive, sunflower, and body oils, even natural ones) day after day and it will still look dry-ish after several hours. Sometimes, I use the Day Face Lotion on parts like knees and elbows for extra-long moisturization. I love the glow it leaves on my skin!

You use the Day Face Lotion about like you would any facial moisturizer -- slather it on, rub it in! The name "Day Face Lotion" suggests that this is to be used in the day time. I have used it in the evening too, but mostly I apply it when I wake up and before applying my makeup.

What I do is apply a small amount to my forehead and between my eyebrows because that's my already-oily spot, so I don't want to overdo it there. Then I generously (about half a dime size) apply it to the rest of my face, including nose and chin. It takes care of my dry, flaky skin areas instantly. I actually haven't noticed any little dry flakes (they often show up after I apply powder foundation to my forehead) since I've been using the Green Street Luxuries products. My skin has never been so hydrated or so beautiful.

Green Street Luxuries says to always apply lotion starting at the neck, making your way to the forehead using an upward motion. They also state that it's very concentrated and only a small amount is needed. This couldn't be more true because I was surprised at how such a small amount covered my entire face, whereas I was used to using two pumps (pump dispenser lotion) just to cover my whole face before I used this Day Face Lotion.

In my video, I talk about all the Green Street Lux products, including this Day Face Lotion, so if there's more you'd like to know, check it out.
