Organic Excellence Hand & Body Therapy





I adore the Organic Excellence Hand and Body Therapy! It's literally the best cream I have ever used on my skin. My feet feel so silky, smooth and soft. In fact, I have the Hand and Body Therapy on right now -- I just applied it a while ago after showering and there is just nothing quite like the way my skin feels! My feet feel smoother than ever before, even smoother than when I had a pedicure (something I didn't take well to because it tickles!) 

I know this seems like a lot of excitement over a cream, but for the love of Pete, this is amazing. My legs feel almost velvety... Yea, I slather this stuff all over. Go big or go home, right?

Besides the softest, most beautifully-feeling skin I have ever had in my life, there's plenty more amazing things to say about Organic Excellence's Hand and Body Therapy cream. For instance, my skin is somewhat dry and my legs kind of have a scaly look to them. My knees often are dry and paler than the rest of me, my feet are dry and somewhat cracked. After smoothing on some of the Hand & Body Therapy, this all completely disappears. It doesn't just enhance the look of my skin, it almost just gives me completely new skin! 

I looked down at my bare thigh just now and it is so smooth and the skin just looks flawless. No wrinklies/cracks from my scaly-ness. The Hand and Body Therapy cream just smoothes everything out and almost seems to get rid of little wrinkly lines on my hands and feet and legs. This stuff is incredible. 

Another thing that I want to rave about is the no-residue left behind! The cream is so thick and rich that I did expect some greasy or thick residue left between my fingers which usually irritates me, but I always deal with it by rinsing my hands of the lotions I use and leaving it on the rest of my body. No need with this stuff! There's no residue. When I apply it all over (hands, feet, legs) the cream is absorbed in less than 5 minutes and it absorbs well without leaving this weird sticky or shiny mess behind. And that's one thing I hate -- when I've applied lotion all over and then I find little flecks of dirt stuck to my feet from where the lotion left sticky residue that picks up pet hair and dirt on my skin! 


Ah! I just wish ya'll could rub my arm right now and feel how soft. You can't even begin to understand the softness, smoothness, pretty-ness just by my words. But I'll move on and tell you more...

So I was reading about the Hand and Body Therapy lotion and here's what Organic Excellence says about it "Hand & Body Therapy offers special anti-aging ingredients to support collagen production, and restore skin elasticity. Protective nutrients prevent signs of aging and give your skin a fresh, youthful glow."

So if you were reading that description (above) you may not get overly excited if you're like me and have used countless lotions, creams and serums that claim to have collagen and all these anti-aging benefits, but holy moly! So this must explain why I notice such smooth, wrinkly-free skin! This must be a pretty hard-core lotion and seeing those little wrinklies and scales smooth out of my skin instantly make me want to use this stuff every day for the rest of my life because it's probably going to do a serious job at preventing aging signs like wrinkles, which I'm very paranoid about since I turned 23. Everyone says your skin (and body and everything else for that matter) goes downhill after your 20's, so since I turned 19, I began using anti-agers and paying serious attention to my health and skin. 

And hey, I could use this stuff everyday for the rest of my life without it doing any harm since it's all organic ingredients.

I also love that the Hand & Body Therapy does leave a beautiful glow on my skin-- enhancing the complexion of my legs and arms -- without actually leaving some shiny, greasy sheen on me. I sure love some shimmer, but when a lotion claims to give me a glow and it ends up doing so via a greasy residue or shimmer, I get irritated. This happens to me with every lotion I have used! So I'm ecstatic that my skin does have a glow, but it's a healthy, natural glow from being truly moisturized and not from some weird ingredient that just lays on top of my skin. 

Even after I've washed my hands, they're still incredibly smooth, soft and silky. The Hand And Body Therapy cream keeps my skin so soft and silky all throughout the day & night.

The first time I used the Hand and Body Therapy, while rubbing it in on my feet, I noticed the thick, creamy and super rich consistency means this could make a wonderful foot massage. Simply apply, massage and then leave it rubbed in for lovely, moisturized tootsies!

The cream is white and rich, somewhat thick. When I apply it to my skin, it doesn't feel watery, and as I rub, the white lotion fades away (into my skin.) I have noticed if a lotion is clear-ish and not a deep, rich white, it doesn't moisturize as well for me. Just something I thought I'd include.

There is virtually no scent to this since it is fragrance free, which is a good thing because fragrance often means irritation to skin. Being fragrance free also means this isn't going to send those of us who are migraine-prone into a dark room with an ice pack and ibuprofen (or BC powders if you're me) for a whole day. 

Hand and Body Therapy is:
  • Rich in certified organic herbs and beneficial vitamins & nutrients.
  • Chemical, Gluten, fragrance and GMO free!
  • Made with truly high quality ingredients.
  • Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.
  • Lotion penetrates deeply, bringing instant results.
  • Will hydrate even the driest skin. 
  • Protects skin and is anti-aging while giving a youthful look to skin at the same time. 
  • Contains Centella Asiatica, Evening Primrose Oil, Hyaluronic Acid and Shea butter, which each have amazing anti-aging, moisturizing and more benefits.
  • Antioxidant rich.
  • Renews collagen, restores tissue firmness & skin elasticity.
  • Repairs sun damage and prevents premature wrinkles!
  • Won't cause itching, but ingredients suggest it'd even be helpful and calming for those who have itchy skin.
  • Contains aloe vera! Ya'll know I love aloe. It has super healing properties for everything, including skin.
Since I'm talking about Organic Excellence and their ingredients, I want to mention the importance of organic/natural products. You can't always be sure that a product will be 100% natural or organic just because the label says so. I've had more than a few products claim 100% natural and organic but seen plenty of chemicals listed in the ingredients! So this is why it's important to look for "Certified organic" and check the ingredients. Organic Excellence's products are all completely, totally natural, safe and also Certified Organic, so no worries there.

TROPICANA BODY MILK

                   MIESSENCE TROPICANA BODY MILK 

  The more Miessence I try, I seem to be loving them more & more! The Tropicana Body Milk even sounds delicious. It certainly is! With organic body milk, this Body Milk soothes and deeply moisturizes skin. It contains raw organic coconut oil that keeps your skin moisturized. It also contains organic aloe vera inner leaf gel, organic fruit butter, organic sugar cane ethanol, etc. That mixture sounds so good!

  The container also mentions that the Body Milk will become of a more solid consistency with cooler temperatures and will liquefy at warmer. That’s pretty cool!

 The packaging also recommends shaking well before use and applying all over body while still damp after a shower. I however, could not wait to use it so I used a little before it was shower time.


  With the Tropicana Body Milk, I felt like I was on the beach with a bright blue colored coconut flavored drink! I usually don’t get this excited over body and hand creams, but Miessence is really making me wild!

  I can’t get over how much it smells like the Panama City beach (I visit there every year) I just love the tropical scents and all. I love the beach too, so I’m really wishing I could be there when I get a whiff of the Body milk.

  It’s so soft and slick. Its light, unlike a cream or lotion, but surprisingly it moisturizers unbelievably well. It feels and smells almost like having sun tan oil on just without the greasy-ness!

  I will leave the pros and cons list out for this one too, because there are absolutely no cons at all. I couldn’t find a single thing negative about it if I tried.

  So, my overall opinion is: I am in love with Miessence! Like I said, I never get excited over these kind of things. I love body milks, creams and such, but that’s mostly for the scent. I’ve never came across any that delivers so much.

Dna Renewal Foaming Cleanser

Hay there my lovies,

I've heard a lot about the Dna Renewal Foaming Cleaner, but just now was able to try it. (Very excited, I am)


                                        WHAT IT DOES

  The very gentle, exfolliating Dna renewal cleanser gives your skin everything it needs without having to use a hundred different products. If you're like me, you're used to spending a lot of time each day exfoliating, cleansing, polishing, toning, etc. This is the only product I've ever used that provides your skin with everything in one bottle!

  I was more than shocked with the entire results. As of right now, I've used it once & it was only several hours ago. The foam was really soft, almost velvet-y on your skin. It's not harsh at all. I love that I got such beautiful results without having to use a rough exfoliator and a fishy-mixed-with-amonia-scented seaweed cleanser. I'm not lying when I describe the seaweed cleanser. It's almost stomach turning to use something like that on your face.

  With the oh so soft Dna Renewal Cleanser, I didn't experience any stomach turning sensations due to the scent. In fact, it barely smelled at all. It didn't feel as if my skin was raw.

  I honestly, have never had such soft skin before. I really am just ecstatic over this stuff. I don't get too excited over most skincare products. My skin is so demanding that I often have problems with any skin care product. It either leaves my face extremely dry, or so oily that it's almost wet!

   It actually cleans away all dirt, makeup, etc. I used a wet muslin cloth to wip my face after cleaning with the renewal cleanser because the muslin will catch even the slightest little lefover dirt or makeup. There was nothing at all showing up on the muslin, so the cleanser does do an amazing job at cleaning very well!

  It certainly lives up to it's claims, I'd even go so far to say that it exceeded my expectations greatly. My skin is vibrant & that's only with one use!

                           ~Let's get down to the specifics~

- It's the perfect cleanser for any skin type. I'd definitely recommend it for any type, including sensitive skin as it contains no artificial frangrances, parabens, or sulfates and isn't harsh.

- Contains amino acid glycolic complex which promotes cell turnover.

- Cleans all impurities, dirt, oil, make-up. With this cleanser, you won't need any extra make-up removers at all. It cleans it away easily and quickly.

- Didn't leave my skin dry at all, but very glowy and vibrant!

- I have not used any other products since I used the cleanser because it left my skin with no dryness so no need for moisturizer & my skin is extremely dry at all times. I didn't feel the need for any toner or extras that I normally use to enhance my skin's glow, tighten pores, etc. The Dna Renewal Cleanser did everything.

- Makes my pores much less visable.

Over all I would give this product a 10. It delivers results & goes above and beyond. I couldn't be happier. I haven't ever had these kind of results before with other products. I absolutely love it.

* So tell me, have any of you lovelies tried this stuff? Please do check this one as well as the others such as the SPF cream out at: http://www.dnaegfrenewal.com/


UPDATE:
This post was written about a week ago when I first used the Dna Cleanser. I've now been using it for a week & I'm still very happy with it! The results have become better and better over the week. I find that a lot of facial cleansers will seem to lose their touch & not work as well with time. I was so happy that the Dna Cleanser holds up with every use delivering more & more results each time.  I just thought I'd add the update on how it's went for me after using it a while.



Don't forget to let me know your thoughts and results!

Much love,
Kendra
