Sea Buckthorn Anti-Aging Moisturizer

You guys remember my in-depth post about Natura-Nutra's awesome Sea Buckthorn Oil and Sea Buckthorn Extract from Herbs Best Nutrition.com? I included as much information in that post about the benefits of Sea Buckthorn and all the amazing nutrients, vitamins, etc. it contains. I encourage you to scan that post if you haven't already to get an idea of what we're working with here. Sea Buckthorn is a powerful little dude, and at this point in my life, I think marriage is just around the corner. Kidding! Ha. I won't marry the lovely Sea Buckthorn.  But seriously, the amazing information that can be told/read/talked about/said about Sea Buckthorn and the benefits it offers is seemingly endless. I've considered even putting it all in a big ol' guide. For now, though, I'm just goint to talk about Sea Buckthorn on a somewhat different level -- for skincare. I'll discuss the benefits and everything, so keep your eyes open.

I've gotten my hands on another Natura-Nutra product, one of the newer products available on Herbs Best Nutrition, and boy am I ecstatic. It's their Sea Buckthorn Anti-Aging Moisturizer.

 Natura-Nutra's Sea Buckthorn Anti-Aging Cream is formulated with multiple natural  and herbal ingredients, and is designed to combat dryness and aging.


"It is an optimal synergy of Sea Buckthorn oil, bioflavonoids, squalane, shea butter, and natural vitamin E. Lush nourishing elements penetrate deep into the pores, soothing the tissues and leaving a delicate aroma."

Here you can see some photos of the box and the moisturizer in its container. Lovely, right?

Well, even lovelier is the soft skin, the reduction in fine lines and just all around aging skin. Those dark circles under the eyes that hang over you like a dark cloud. Pretty depressing stuff! In my opinion, from what I've read over the last several months, I definitely think that using Sea Buckthorn would be one of the best and most effective approaches (if not the best) to fight crappy skin issues like the signs of aging and such.
 

What it does for your skin:

 -The ingredient Sea Buckthorn Oil extract rejuvenates the skin with natural tocopherol, vitamins, caretenoids and omega fatty acids.

- High-potency Sea Buckthorn bioflavanoids are known for their anti-aging effect.

-Botanically obtaines squalane and shea butter revitalizes skin and protects from sun damage.

- It's enriched with Omega-7 from Sea Buckthorn, which provides structural materials for cellular walls. It also helps smooth out signs of aging and gives skin a youthful glow.

Super close-up!

The Sea Buckthorn Anti-Aging Moisturizer is an amazingly rich, thick moisturizer with a super-creamy like texture. It looks like whipped cream! It's probably the most moisturizing cream I have ever used in my life -- and I'm serious. Upon first applying it, I noticed the super-rich cream and expected to have a greasy residue left on my skin. Every cream I've tried that was rich and moisturizing always seems to leave a trail of greasyness on my skin. So shocked was I when about 8 minutes after generously applying the Sea Buckthorn Anti-Aging lotion to my face and looking in the mirror to see not a shiny, wet-looking face, but a soft, hardly shiny, but pore-minimized complexion!

I apply the Sea Buckthorn Anti-Aging cream at night, after showering. Your skin does most of its healing during the first 3 hours of your sleep, so it made sense to do it at night.

The first things I noticed different about my skin was that it looked bright. Very strange, but good! The next thing I noticed was how tiny my pores looked! They tend to be very large and on occasion, I notice them looking smaller such as when my skin-cleanser is doing its job  (it's very finicky), so I was happy that it looks this way.

Another awesome thing is that I feel like my skin is actually absorbing the moisturizer instead of it hanging out on my skin, which most moisturizers do. It absorbs quickly too, especially to be a rich cream. And it leaves my skin incredibly soft and velvety. Never do I encounter a dry, flaky patch after using this stuff.

The scent
Sea Buckthorn Anti-Aging cream has what I'd call a medium-strength scent to it. It isn't perfumey strong, so it's not something that is overpowering. But I will notice the smell every once in a while up to about 20 minutes after application. It's a nice, slightly sweet, fresh and clean scent.





"Sea Buckthorn is widely used to treat various skin conditions including acne, rosacea, eczema, stretch marks, dermatitis, sunburn, wounds and more. "

The Omega-7 content found in Sea Buckthorn helps the regeneration of skin cells as well as relieves the signs of aging. 

PS. I learned something new today  when reading a paper from Natura-Nutra on Sea Buckthorn. Russian astronauts use Sea Buckthorn oil for its strong anti-UV Ray properties!  

Ingredients:
Distilled Water (eau), Squalane, hippophae rhamnoides oil (sea buckthorn), butyrospermum parkii (shea butter), betaine, tocopherol acetate (Vitamin E), Rice Bran Extract (ethyhexyl ferulate), Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract (carboxymethyl glucan), Lactococcus lactis extract (hyaluronic acid), hippophae rhamnoides extract (Sea Buckthorn flavanoids), sodium benzoate, natural fragrance (Parfum). 


 

The container that houses the Sea Buckthorn Anti-Aging Moisturizer holds 50 grams of the product and believe me, a little bit of it goes a super long way! The first time I used it, I took about a quarter sized amount -- being used to my other moisturizer -- and quickly realized, after my entire face was generously covered, that it didn't take that much at all. So I used the remaining on my arm and even it looked lovely and glowy!

Now, I've come to learn that only a small dime-sized glob is plenty to spread over my entire face, a little more for the neck.
