Lip Collagen Serum



The Lip Collagen Serum is also a Skin Actives product. Don't let the color fool you, this stuff isn't actually brown on the lips, but goes on clear and smooth. 

If you're looking to smooth things out, have a healthier set of kissers and need to prevent or heal dry, chapped lips, the Lip Collagen Serum just may be your miracle. 

I actually have never heard of or seen a lip product that does what Skin Active's lip collagen product does. It's very unique and has some amazing benefits. 

You know those lines you get in your lips and around them? The Lip Collagen Serum reduces those and creates smoother, softer and healthier lips. I didn't know what to expect from it at first. I wondered if it would feel thick and glossy or stick (hate that!) or like chap stick. I had no idea! So I was too excited to slick it on my lips. 

It feels very liquidy and runny. That was a surprise for me and the color goes on clear and dries instantly. Since there's no residue or glossy finish left on the lips, both men and women can use the Lip Collagen Serum.

At first it simply feels like wet lips. It really doesn't have a scent and hardly a taste. Most people would never notice the taste, but since I was curious, I licked my lips right after applying the Lip Collagen Serum and it had a subtle hint of something. The only thing I could think of that it resembled was the light taste you get after licking an envelope. Nothing that will get your attention unless you are deliberately trying to taste it. This diminishes seconds after applying and your lips are left feeling like lips! No gloss, thick residue or shine. It felt as if it just disappeared until I touched them with my fingers and could notice a sort of squishyness to them. That made it clear that the lip serum was absorbed and working only without leaving you sticky.

I have the habit of picking at my lips and it leaves them dry and scabby so I have to use a chapstick or gloss of some sort to help heal them and moisturize them. I hate chapped lips and if I feel any skin there, I pick! My lovie is always getting on me about it. Many times I don't even notice that I'm doing it and he tells me that my lips are "too pretty to pick and destroy." How nice! 

I used the Lip Collagen Serum for the first time right before leaving the house and later in the car went to picking and there wasn't anything to pick! The skin wasn't scabby and dry! I'm really liking that and am hoping that with further use of the serum, I'll be able to kick the lip-pickin'-habit! Needless to say, my lovie is all for making sure I keep this stuff around. He's hoping it'll keep the skin healed and I'll be less likely to pick as well. 

The Lip Collagen Serum can be used by anybody 20 years of age and up and I believe most of us could benefit from it. It's great for healing and soothing as well as smoothing out those lines. 

It is antioxidant rich properties as well as anti-aging (yippee!) and increases collagen synthesis. It also contains protective lipids and is supposed to help growth. That last part I'm positive it does! Remember. The lip-pickin' story? Yes, this stuff works great and it works fast!

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
