.
Even if your skin is not on the very dry or sensitive side like mine and you plan to take advantage of the sun this summer, I think you would like French  organic beauty brand, Melvita's Ultra- Nourishing Cream.  This is another of their amazing Apicosma line that I raved about previously that also does revitalize and deeply moisturize with a rich complex of three varieties of honey, boosted further by royal jelly and Argan oil for maximum effectiveness that beautifully delivers. 

This luxurious feeling cream felt so soothing on my face and sank into my skin quickly without being too greasy or heavy.  The more times that I used this lightly scent cream, and I watched the condition of my troubled skin go from tight with a bit of flakiness to healthier looking.  My complexion thrived on this nourishing formula and regained softness along with a more radiant glow in the process.

A 1.3 fl. oz. tube retails for $43 on Melvita's website.  

For getting your troubled skin back on track, I truly recommend Melvita's newest Apicosma product, their Ultra-Nourishing Cream.  Take it from me, your skin will look and feel renewed once again with the use of this product!

You're never too young to start defending that delicate eye area.  After all, eyes are what people gravitate to first. Therefore, you need them to look fresh.  Today, I want to acquaint you with a fabulous way to solve that problem with French organic beauty brand, Melvita's Fresh Eye Contour Gel.

Since I have had such beautiful results with a few of their other rose collection products, I was looking forward to seeing how this eye gel worked when it arrived for my review.  

You should know that this product even exceeded my expectations with how it helped reduce my usual morning puffiness with its formula of mountain roses, cornflower water, red seaweed extract, polysaccharides and vitamins A and B12 for draining and improving blood flow around the eyes while moisturizing.  

When using mornings and nights, be sure after you apply the eye gel to use the pads of your fingers to tenderly pat the product in and avoid hurrying with a few swipes to stretch and tug on that fragile skin.  Patting in this manner for all the facial products you use helps preserve the integrity of your skin and best aid in getting it thoroughly absorbed.

Another plus to its sweet floral smell is that this gave me a wonderful soft feel to that skin and was not any pore-clogging, thick gel that left a greasy trail along the path of your eyes.

This product is also said to reduce the blue undertones of dark circles. I still needed to reach for my concealer but the area did look slightly lighter.  Nonetheless, that puffiness issue was greatly improved and overall my eyes looked renewed.

The 15ml size retails for $35.  I do recommend picking Melvita's Fresh Eye Contour Gel and especially anything else in their rose line because they are tops in my book!

I'm Passionate About Melvita's Fresh Moisturizing Body Milk for Petal-Soft Skin (Review)

Melvita's Fresh Moisturizing Body Milk

Anyone with dry skin knows what a struggle it can be to keep it soft.  However, I have been discovering some excellent organic skin care products to solve this perpetual problem thanks to French beauty brand, Melvita, like the ones I sampled from their Apicosma and Rose lines.  Therefore, it would be a crime if I didn't try more to share with you.  With that said, let me introduce you to my latest find, Fresh Moisturizing Body Milk, another from their Rose line, than I am wholeheartedly passionate about. 

Though it is labeled a body milk, I consider it a luxurious organic body cream with its aroma of rose while hydrating your dry skin exceptionally well.  As you slather on this sweet essence of rose with its rich, thick consistency, your skin drinks in that beneficial formula of rose floral water, rose seed milk, and wild rose petals without any greasiness, only a feel of petal softness.

Melvita's Fresh Moisturizing Body Milk is not advertised as a hand cream.  Yet, I tell you this is a supreme hand cream.  Suffering hands that had been red and rough seem to thrive and bloom with beautiful smoothness again in no time.  You might think because this is labeled a body milk it would lack that lasting barrier to make this healing possible without constant reapplications, however, this is not what I have found.

If you want a top notch hand cream, I have two close to my heart with their Apicosma Hand Cream and now Melvita's Fresh Moisturizing Body Milk.  Both require a small amount to do their wonders.  I highly recommend them because they are true skin miracle workers for coming to the rescue of dry skin.

Anyone hunting for a fantastic organic body lotion would love this product, especially those drawn in particular to raspberry scents.  However, its incredibly scrumptious aroma does seem to make you hungry along with beautifully caring for your skin!   

The 6.7 oz. bottle retails for $28.  Do visit Melvita and test for yourself the stimulating berry driven formula of Red Berry Body Milk Moisturizer.  You will like it.

Review: Melvita's Apicosma Creamy Cleansing Milk--A Gentler Way to Clean Dry Skin!

*Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Melvita logo.jpeg

Rinse off cleansers may be the easiest solution, but if you have an issue of dry or extra dry skin it may not be the answer.  This variety may possibility also strip away oils from your skin in the process.  An oil-based cleanser, on the other hand, will not pose that sort of problem since it adds emollients to do the task as gently as possible.

An excellent one that I tried lately is Melvita's Apicosma Creamy Cleansing Milk from the French beauty brand.  This product has three different types of honey, pollen, and sweet almond, which is so soothing in this skin pleasing formula.  I loved how this cleanser calmed my delicate skin while it worked.

All that I had to do to remove my old makeup was to wipe off this cleanser with a few tissues.  You will be surprised at the look of your face when you're finished.  Some cleansers of this type leave you with an oily film that needs further attention. This cleanser looks cleaner with just bit of sheen.  I did follow up with my toner to test this clean but my cotton balls were free of makeup and dirt.

This product is safe as well to handle removing eye cosmetics.   Everything in that department was easy to wipe away.  The only exception involved using any waterproof eye cosmetics.  These were more difficult to budge and took longer and more swipes to remove, but my waterproof mascara and new liner finally came off.

I first fell in love with Apicosma when I reviewed their Apicosma Extra-Rich Hand Cream, one of the best hand creams I ever tried for how quickly it heals and nourishes suffering red skin.  

Their Apicosma Creamy Cleansing Milk is just as awesome especially for those of us with sensitive, dry skin that needs extra tender loving care.  The 6.7 fl. oz. bottle retails for $22.00.

If sensitivity and dry skin are causing you grief, I can't recommend the Apicosma line from Melvita highly enough.  Do visit their website and get some because those products I tried can turn that problem around.

Your Complexion Will Bloom With This Cleanser! Melvita's Fresh Cleansing Milk Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Melvita's Fresh Cleansing Milk.jpeg
Melvita's Fresh Cleansing Milk

What a way to remove makeup and impurities than with a creamy emulsion blooming with the sweet nectar of roses as it gently cleanses with the purity of 99% organic ingredients!  Melvita's Fresh Cleansing Milk, my latest find from the French beauty brand, is just what my dry skin craved--and, perhaps, yours too.  

Anyone with sensitive or dry skin like mine knows how extra careful you need to be not to strip excess moisture, especially now during the winter months.  One of the kindest cleansers when your skin is under this type of stress is to use a cream cleanser like this one.  

Although the formula is thick and rich, this milky cleanser spreads easily enough while it pampers your complexion with that exquisite trail of roses as you tissue it off.  I found the formula effectively handled my cosmetics even eye liner and shadows without causing my eyes any irritation.  The only problem that I had was when it came to my waterproof mascara that was a bit more challenging to take off.  However, I just took more time and tissues and it budged.

When I finished cleansing, there was a slight silky sheen, but I sprayed rose floral water on my face and that fine veil of product melded into my skin replacing it with fragrant dewiness.  Due to the rose seed milk,  wild rose petal extract, and the rose floral water, my sensitive skin felt more supple and hydrated from what it left behind.  This was the perfect base for the next step of a moisturizer.

Another strong point of this product is in the forethought of manufacturing this cleanser with a pump, which is more hygienic than direct contact to risk contamination.

I definitely am going to try more of Melvita's rose products, probably starting next with their rose body cream!

The 6.7 oz. bottle of Fresh Cleansing Milk retails for $22.  If you're suffering from dry or sensitive skin, you should look into this.

Gentle Cleanser + Treatment in One! Melvita's Eye Makeup Remover Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Melvita's Eye Makeup Remover.jpeg
Melvita's Eye Makeup Remover

Melvita, the French beauty brand, makes a lot of breakthrough organic products that now have become staples in my own beauty routine once I discovered them.  Another great find is their extremely gentle Eye Make-Up Remover for the remarkable things it  can do for your eyes

All make-up removers can take off eye makeup.  Some can handle waterproof mascara like this one does easily, but then often the benefit stops there.  On the other hand, Melvita's Eye Make-Up Remover does so much more.  Active ingredients like cornflower water, camomile, and lotus, help treat that delicate eye area while olive squalane and aloe vera cleanse and moisturize.

This dual-phase lotion melted my eye makeup without loading up a ton of cotton balls with product.  With a few swipes, I had everything off even the waterproof liner and mascara without leaving a greasy film behind.  Your skin does feel cleaner even though you don't need to rinse with water.

The formula also was soothing and a scent free variety, which was wonderful for my allergy-prone eyes.  At the same time, my skin felt soft and moisturized.

This remover also claims to reduce swelling of the eye contour.  However, I did not have puffy eyes lately to test that since I started a new antihistamine.

I highly recommend Melvita and their Eye Make-Up Remover,especially if sensitive eyes are an issue because this could be the ideal new product you're looking for!

A 3.4 oz. bottle retails for $22.

Melvita's Roll-On Argan Oil Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Melvita's Roll-On Argan Oil.jpeg
Melvita's Roll-On Argan Oil 


Faces and hands never had it so good thanks to French beauty brand, Melvita's Roll-On Argan Oil.  Besides being fabulously loaded with essential fatty acids and sterols to help repair and moisturize skin, this form is extremely handy to pack in a handbag or excellent when traveling on flights.

I already am a fan of Melvita's Argan Oil and have used it to condition my hair and to richly hydrate my face, hands, and body.  Therefore, when the company had that brilliant idea to produce that product into roll-on form, I was excited when it arrived for my review because they made it that much easier to target those dry spots or chapped lips.

Their product is the first cold pressed unscented argan oil from organic farming, which means a purer argan oil that is also free of preservatives and any color.  

I found Melvita's Roll-On Argan Oil especially wonderful in healing chapped lips besides just for facial skin.  

My skin is dry and does have a tendency to flake in spots at times.  However, I found after cleansing and leaving my face slightly damp before rolling on some in those spots fixed that problem without any greasy look for daytime.  

Another trick after cleansing is to apply the roll-on to the dry areas, then spritz with a facial mist, and gently pat with the pads of your fingers will work the oil in and do wonders for your complexion in the process. 

For extreme dryness, I used this product straight after cleansing at bedtime to saturate the plagued area with that rich, lubricating moisture.  By morning, any flaking problem I had was resolved.  

I really am fond of this product for its performance and convenience.  I suggest looking into trying Melvita's Roll-On Argan Oil  for yourself because I know it can help with dry winter lips and any dry patches on your face that are hard to often heal.

Melvita's Bio-Excellence Micellar Water Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Melvita's Bio-Excellence Micellar Water.jpeg
Melvita's Bio-Excellence Micellar Water


As women, we subject our faces to a multitude of different cosmetics daily.  And yet, in our rush to remove them after a long day, we might innocently be doing an injustice to our skin that we don't realize.  We could be leaving behind traces of makeup that dull your complexion and stay in your pores.  However, French beauty brand, Melvita's, Bio-Excellence Micellar Water that I have been testing could be the solution that you are looking for.

Unlike your typical toner that you rely on to rid you of any last bit of makeup or grime, you can thoroughly cleanse your face with a micellar water and cotton balls.  The number of cotton balls needed could depend on how heavily made up you are, but you never need water to rinse.

Of course, a toner also soothes and prepares the skin surface for your moisturizer so it can sink in better.  Micellar water does those things but also helps brighten the complexion as well.  

Therefore, after being impressed from my initial experience with Melvita's Rose Nectar Fresh Micellar Water, I welcomed a review of the Bio-Excellence Micellar Water as you might well understand.

This product uses floral waters such as rose water to revitalize, lavender to comfort skin, and orange fruit water to restore healthy balance and glow along with essential oils among the ingredients.

You will delight in the fragrant rose smell once opening the bottle.  That sensory pleasure heightens as you dab your cotton ball with Bio-Excellence Micellar Water and cleanse because the scent alone soothes your spirit just as much as the comforting feel of this gentle product against your skin. 

I preferred turning to this toner when I didn't have a lot of makeup on.  Although the product could handle removing it easily enough, I am lazy and hated going through how many cotton balls to do it. 

To sum it up, I noticed how beautiful my complexion looked the more times I used it.  My pores diminished and my skin overall had a rosier glow. 

Micellar waters are definitely the way to go if you ask me because the product does more than clean and tone with the renewed radiance that you will see. 

I gladly will keep using my Bio-Excellence Micellar Water.  The 6.76 fl. oz. bottle sells for $22.   Have you tried one yet?

A cleanser and toner are equally important but have different purposes in your skin care regime.  But what if I told you one product can take off your makeup, gently cleanse your face, and tone it at the same time?  This sounds great to me since I was looking forward to testing micellar water from French brand, Melvita, with their Rose Nectar Fresh Micellar Water for this review.

To use this product, you need to dab a cotton ball with some and start swiping away.  This does dissolves makeup and clean your face without any tightness.  You don't even need to rinse!

For some, the need for water in the equation to feel clean will be surprised at how unbelievably fresh your complexion will look once you check your mirror.  Take it from me, I used to even follow with up with soap and water after using cleansing wipes--that is until working with this Rose Nectar Fresh Micellar Water.  Trust me, but you won't miss the water.

I have been using this micellar water regularly in the mornings than evenings when I have lots of makeup to remove for prepping my skin before I apply cosmetics.  Although this product removes makeup easily enough, I am lazy when it comes to changing cotton balls for stripping a lot of it away.  On the other hand, the morning is perfect to give me a balanced and comfortable clean with a glow to my complexion.

Save yourself some steps in your skin care and look into picking up the Rose Nectar Fresh Micellar Water. This product sells for $22 for the 6.7 oz. size. 

Like everything else from Melvita, I feel good knowing that nothing but the finest certified organic ingredients are in their products to keep me beautiful as well as healthy.  Isn't that what you want also?

Melvita's Algascience Exfoliating Bath Soap Review

Melvita's Algascience Exfoliating Bath Soap


Regardless of how much a woman weighs, she probably will complain about cellulite somewhere on her thighs, stomach, and buttock.  After all, women are genetically prone to be more likely targets for those ugly deposits of fat and trapped waste than men.  If you wonder why  we are the lucky recipients to this body spoiler, then you need to blame a part of the problem due to our unique connective tissue that helps us form those unsightly lumps of cottage cheese-like dimpled skin.

Though there are still many questions as to whether cellulite products can fix this problem, I can assure you from personal experience with French beauty brand, Melvita, that their Algascience Exfoliating Soap before using their Contouring Serum that I reviewed earlier will help you see a smoother, more improved image when looking in that full-length mirror since they do stimulate the circulation.  This is critical for better moving what is trapped beneath the surface of your skin.

The Algascience Exfoliating Bath Bar is plant-based and harnesses the power of red seaweed particles and lichen carrageheen that when hit with water expand for a better massage when working these cellulite plagued areas with its grainy texture.  To condition as well, this big bar of 8.82 oz. has Shea butter and essential oils of hybrid lavender and litsea cubeba.

Whether what is stirred up when working that cellulite is toxins or fat or a combination, I have no idea but this bar and accompanying serum are important to get that blood circulating through your system to help flush this rubbish out.  All I can say is the texture when pinching my thighs and backside seemed to take on a better appearance especially when I followed their Algascience Contouring Serum when I routinely began using them, which makes me a fan!

Do check these Algascience Exfoliating Bath Bar and Contouring Serum out from Melvita and decide for yourself because I do think you will like them.

Melvita's Apicosma Body Ultra-Nourishing Body Balm.jpeg
Melvita's Apicosma Body Ultra-Nourishing Body Balm


I was so impressed with Apicosma Extra-Rich Hand Creme from organic experts and leading French beauty brand, Melvita, that I wanted to work with more products from that line.  This time I was sent their  Apicosma Body Ultra-Nourishing Body Balm for this review to see how it fared.

This line is so extraordinary because it uses the power of three different honeys (thyme, acacia, and orange blossom), royal jelly for its regenerating capabilities along with cocoa butter in a rich, delicious smelling formula that treats and heals even the dryness of skin so it feels renewed and silky smooth again.   In addition, this Apicosma Body Ultra Nourishing Body Balm has stevia leaf extract as well into the mix of its beneficial ingredients.

I even had a dry spot near the ankles and elbows that this really help soften nicely.  You should see what this product does to pamper the tough skin on your feet.  Furthermore, I want to point out that you don't need to use a lot of this creme to notice a difference.

Anyone with dry skin like mine would really love this soothing product because it has all the gentleness you need in a creme that really does work.  I really love it and am particularly fond of the Apicosma line and Melvita and do hope you try this line for yourself to relief that dryness once and for all.

Melvita's Algascience Contouring Serum Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Melvita's Algascience Contouring Serum.jpeg
Melvita's Algascience Contouring Serum


Although there is debate whether cellulite products really can break down fatty deposits that always seem to find a way to our thighs, hips, and backsides, I do know what I have been testing from organic beauty brand, Melvita with their Algascience Contouring Serum does help smooth those unsightly dimpled areas for a better appearance.

The science behind this product works with the biological rhythms of the body and incorporates a specially formulated smart system of a 3-seaweed complex of Corralline (to burn fat cells and prevent storage of it), Palmaria (for drainage of that fat), and Fucus along with Caffeine (for contouring). 

Although it is recommended to use their Exfoliating Soap first to prepare the targeted areas, I only received the serum.  However, I used a body brush and followed with a massaging device with rubber teeth to get the circulation going. 

I had used a loofah in the past with other cellulite products to prepare before I applied this type of product, but I do not like the germs I later learned they harbor.  You can also use a rolling pin over those humps and bumps first, which also does stimulate the blood flow. 

Once I stepped out of the shower both morning and night, I worked my hand over those bad spots and pinched and kneaded for about five minutes for extra blood flow before applying the Algascience Contouring Serum.  I rubbed that serum in those areas using circular motions until it dried.

After several weeks now, I did notice improvement from that former grapefruit texture.  I can't say everything has smoothed  to perfection or for how long this effect will last since you are advised to use their recommended Slimming Oil to maintain those results, but the skin does look smoother and firmer than before I began using this product.  What woman wouldn't like that end result when looking in a full-length mirror?  Therefore, I am pleased!

Melvita's Apicosma Extra-Rich Hand Cream Review

Melvita's Apicosma Extra-Rich Hand Cream.jpeg
Melvita's Apicosma Extra-Rich Hand Cream


Despite the season, I always have a problem with dry skin.  My hands constantly show signs of redness, flaky, and chapping.  As a result, I have quite a collection of hand creams and lotions on my vanity in my attempt to find the ultimate one.  Therefore, I was glad when Melvita, the French organic beauty brand, allowed me to review their Apicosma Extra-Rich Hand Cream.

Believe it or not, I have a problem with the water in places like public restrooms or hospitals that always aggravates the skin on my hands when washed there.  At first, I had blamed it on the liquid soaps and even resorted to bringing my own from home, but it did not help.   I don't know if it is the temperature of the water that goes through their system or what but my hands really hurt with awful redness every time like yesterday.

Thankfully, I remembered I had that tube of Melvita's Apicosma Extra-Rich Hand Cream waiting and hurried to see if this would speed the healing along.

Immediately as you open the tube, you are greeted to the wonderfully sweet aroma from the three varieties of honey (Thyme, Orange Blossom, and Acacia) in this thick cream formula, which also includes royal jelly, Shea butter and cocoa butter for skin repair and returning moisture.

This is a luxurious rich cream that you need to use less than you typically would, which I soon learned.  As you rub this fragrant cream in, you will be amazed at how this product sinks into your hungry skin without leaving it greasy.

I was totally shocked that soon I was feeling some relief because as I sat through an hour of television, I noticed the redness seemed lighter as well.

Before I went to bed, I gave myself another application.  When I awoke the next morning, I had my former hands back and still soft skin as I type this.

Honestly, this Apicosma Extra-Rich Hand Cream is tops in my book.  It sells for $25 for a 5.07 oz. size tube and does truly work!  Others with this same problem need to try this product and experience quick relief.

Melvita's Capiforce Hair Mask Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**
Melvita's Capiforce Hair Mask.jpeg
Melvita's Capiforce Hair Mask


Recently, I have been testing French organic beauty brand, Melvita's, Capiforce Hair Mask on the thick, dry hair that I happen to have.  This cream formula has honey, Shea, Sea Beet, sunflower oil, rich starch, aloe vera, honey, and coco and para oils for returning moisture to hard, brittle hair and providing gloss.

According to the directions, you should use this mask once a week.  I followed the instructions after washing my hair and allowed the product to remain on my head for ten minutes as recommended.  You could leave it on for as little as  five minutes, but I like to give conditioners extra time to fully soak in before finally rinsing.

My hair when I finished was somewhat softer than before I started and had a bit of added shine.  However, I wanted to see how this mask would work when leaving it on as I often like to do instead of rinsing it out. 
Therefore, the next time I tried this product I followed a hunch and left it on.  I didn't douse my hair with the product either.  I applied about a small amount (approximately the size of a nickel coin) and then finished my normal blow-drying and styling.

This leave-in method differently delivered better results for me.  My hair was much softer and more shiny than the first time rinsing it out!  Do visit Melvita and check this product out or any of the fine line.

Melvita's Orange Blossom Floral Water and Rose Extraordinary Floral Water Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Melvita's Orange Blossom Floral Water.jpeg
Melvita's Orange Blossom Floral Water


I have always been a fan of floral water for its amazing beneficial properties when it comes to awakening and renewing a complexion.  Up until this review, I had strictly devoted my attentions to rose floral water, which I regularly use.  However, when I had the chance to review Melvita's Orange Blossom Floral Water and their new Rose Extraordinary Water, I looked forward to finding out how they compared.

Since I had spent a bit  too long in the sun the other day, my face needed more tender loving care than normal.  Therefore, I decided upon the Orange Blossom Floral Water first after cleansing to help soothe it.   This specific vitamin-enriched formula with citrus flowers is geared for those with irritated, blotchy skin to help renew it.   

What I experienced with the Melvita Orange Blossom Floral Water was a refreshing way to cool my skin's sensitivity while taking off the last traces of grime when I checked my cotton ball after applying it.  This nice smelling product was also a great way to prepare my skin for day or later night cream. 

Misting with this floral water over makeup does help to set it.   However, what I really liked was misting throughout the day whenever my irritated face needed soothing.

When my face returned to normal, I switched to the Rose Extraordinary Water.  Unlike my former brand of rose water, this was not to mist.  Instead, Melvita's product has a thicker, gel-like consistency due to the hyaluronic acid and organic glycerine along with rose essential water for increased moisture besides having firming capabilities from marsh clover.

Melvita's  Rose Extraordinary Floral Water Review
Dabbing some of this fragrant gel on was a pleasant way to start or end a day, especially once you saw how beautifully taken my face was with this formula.  The skin itself had a glow about it and a few lines seemed to partially seal up in the process after about a week.  

I kept to my practice of applying this Rose Extraordinary Water after cleansing before my moisturizing routine and found this worked even better than my old mist. 

Anyone wanting to substantially drench or soothe their complexions with beneficial organics would also find either of these floral waters from certified organic French Beauty brand, Melvita, just as wonderful.

Melvita's Bio-Excellence Extraordinary Day Cream.jpeg
Melvita's Bio-Excellence Extraordinary Day Cream


I love pampering my skin.    Every opportunity available you will find me slathering on some luxurious concoction to moisturize, peel, or reduce the signs of aging.  Recently, I have been testing Melvita's Bio-Excellence Extraordinary Day Cream.

This is an ultra-rich formula from the certified organic French Beauty brand that provides intensive moisture through a combination of mango, cocoa butters, and olive squalane that keeps the complexion nicely hydrated.  Another thing I liked was its brightening power due to the anti-oxidizing action of pomegranate and manganese.  

My skin is dry even in the summer.  However, I found this formula that comes in a pump dispenser went into the skin quickly and kept me comfortable all day without making me to feel greasy.  Those with sensitive or very dry complexions would appreciate how gentle this product feels probably due to the soothing ingredients of aloe vera and linden water.

I have only used this cream for about two weeks now.   Though I can't say miracles have happened, I must admit my face feels soft and wonderful.  I also have noticed more luminosity to my complexion overall, which seems to gradually improve daily.

You can also feel good about the fact certified organic natural ingredients are going into your skin instead of a ton of chemicals in similar products.  Do check out Melvita's Bio-Excellence Extraordinary Day Cream or other fine products because I'm confident you will be pleased as much as I am with this product.

We put our hair through the ringer every day without realizing the daily damage we do to it.  In our hurried attempts to get out of the house with hair styled as we like, that high-wattage blow dryer, curling or flat iron can be betraying us.  While we twist, curl, or straighten, we often fry those fragile strands until our hair revolts with dryness like hay and weakness from split ends.  If this sounds like the normal torture that you also inflict on your own head, then you need to hear about Melvita, the ECOCERT-organic skin and hair care experts and leading French Beauty brand, and their Capiforce Split Ends Serum that I have been testing.

This serum is a lightweight formula that has can help revitalize with smoothing olive, Argan,  jojoba and sunflower oils, apricot and sea beet to seal split ends and moisturize while it returns strength to suffering hair. 

You can use this corrective treatment on damp or dry hair as needed.  I found that a drop applied to my damp ends after daily shampooing and another drop through the rest of my hair was enough to soon notice a difference.  My hair had lots more shine, manageability with a great improvement in trading that crispy feel for one of softness. 

Depending on the length and severity of your problem, the amount of Capiforce Split Ends Serum will vary from person to person.  You need to test the amount that works best for you.  On the same note, I must admit this hair serum is a fantastic fix to get your undamaged hair back.

Now that I have my hair in a far superior state than I started, I now am using this serum on a semiweekly basis for maintenance because it still looks just as nice and more treatments would be overkill!  Nonetheless, I will be keeping more of this on hand once I finish with this bottle because it is a beautiful and quick hair fix, which I recommend to anyone plagued by the same problem.

I love the way my skin has been responding to France's number one certified organic beauty brand, Melvita.  All of their products that I have used have been exceptional in helping me achieve a more beautiful appearance from hair to skin.  Therefore, it was my pleasure to work with their Naturalift Youthful Skin Cream and Nautralift Youthful Skin Complex for Eyes & Lips for this review.

The Naturalift Youthful Skin Cream targets aging through the power of firming Hibiscus seeds, Camelina, and Beech buds to keep the complexion hydrated and more youthful.   

This gentle organic skin cream has a pleasant scent and is quickly absorbing.  Naturalift Youthful Skin Cream has been what I been relying on both days and nights for several weeks and already I noticed my skin flourishing.  Overall, my dry skin looks healthier with a revitalized, brighter tone and added softness with just enough moisture to keep the skin feeling clean in this summer heat.  My wrinkles do look much better with the more applications used like they are gradually fading. 

I really liked the pampering experience of how this anti-aging product works for comfort and performance.  Now I totally understand why Naturalift Youthful Skin Cream is the only certified organic moisturizer that won an award in the new Anti-Aging Beauty Bible in the Anti-Aging Miracle Cream category.  

I also have been using the Naturalift Youthful Skin Complex for Eyes & Lips with pleasing results.  You heard me mention the amazing benefits of algae when it comes to skin.  Well, this product has that to help fight dark circles by way of Chlorella plus acacia gum and buckwheat wax for dealing with puffiness around the eyes.  Honey and Stevia are incorporated in this formula for moisture delivery and raspberry and Shea butter aid in repairing fragile skin.

Having one product to use in two areas was wonderful instead needing to buy two separate creams.  For me, I noticed the dark skin under my eyes was brighter than before I started.  I still awoke with some morning puffiness, which is more of a problem for me with my allergies at this time of year.  However, the size was still improved since my swelling at times can resemble saucers.

I tried this product around my lips as well.  It smooths the area and banishes dryness for a fresher appearance.  

I really am loving these Melvita products and definitely want to try more from this company in the near future.  If you're looking for great certified organic anti-aging skin care, I really hope you look into trying both of these products for yourself.

Melvita's New Rose Nectar Skin Care: Review of Moisture-Replenishing Facial Gel and Moisturizing Rose Nectar

Melvita Rose Nectar Skin Care 


France's number one organic certified beauty brand, Melvita has just come out with their new Rose Nectar  Collection that harnesses the power of roses into a line of truly hydrating skin care products.  What makes this collection special is the company's formulation with wild rose extracts obtained through an all-natural process that preserves the most active ingredients derived from that flower to benefit for ultimate hydration.  Two of these excellent products were sent to me to review and you will soon understand the kind of lush reawakening your thirsty skin can receive. 

The Moisture-Replenishing Facial Gel that I have been using lately is a lightweight gel for normal to combination skin with rose floral water, rose seed milk, and wild rose petal extract to keep your skin petal soft  along with rice powder to block any shine.  This is a perfect choice for summer compared to  heavier moisturizers that might clog your pores.  

Once you pump a few drops of this fragrant gel into the palm of your hand and apply this to your freshly washed face, you will see how quickly this precious formula relieves any tightness as it drenches the skin with soothing moisture that lasts until you wash it off.  Your skin will take on a fresher, dewier appearance the more you use this gentle organic product.  

Those with normal to dry skin would also love the Moisturizing Rose Nectar, which is enriched with essential fatty acids as well as rose floral water, rose hip oil, and wild rose petal extract.  This cream covers the skin like a luxurious veil that absorbs nicely and leaves the complexion feeling silky and nourished.

Both of these moisturizers are recommended for morning use.  However, I have been using the Moisture-Replenishing Facial Gel in the mornings and the richer Moisturizing Rose Nectar at night.  In the short span of time that I have been working with these two moisturizers, I have watched my skin flourish and bloom with a dewy radiance.  

If you pin me down as to the one I preferred, I would be hard pressed to make a decision. For daytime in this heat, I did prefer the lighter gel form because it delivered just the right amount of the hydration to keep my skin comfortable and beautiful.   However, I must admit that I loved them both and would buy them.

Seriously, if dryness is your problem and you want to remedy that condition, then I highly recommend stopping at Melvita and ordering these two fantastic organic moisturizers from their Rose Nectar Collection!  Try them and your skin will thank you.
