Tilth Beauty

Tilth Beauty offers a luxurious, high performance skin care line that is safe, effective and cruelty free. The line focuses on anti-aging and like many of the skin care products I prefer, Tilth uses natural ingredients and botnaicals. Most of their products are also gluten, paraben and phthalate free.

Eye Wondrous Serum

I use an eye cream or serum every night to prevent the signs of aging but more importantly to clear up darkness. The skin under the eye area is delicate and sensitive so it is wise to be cautious of what products you apply there.

The Eye Wondrous Serum by Tilth is fortified with peptides and retinol to prevent and improve the look of wrinkles and crows feet. The serum can also be used on the face and neck to provide the same anti-aging benefits and healthy looking skin.

Ingredients

It also contains: witch hazel, rose hip, birch bark, lavender, sandalwood, palmarosa, jasmine and many more natural ingredients. For a full list of ingredients click  HERE.

Benefits:

* Plumps and fills fine lines to make them less noticeable

*Reduces wrinkle depth

*Improves collagen and firms skin

*Builds elasticity

*Firms and smooths

*Repairs UV damage

*Lightens dark circles

The consistency of this serum is rather thin so you have to be mindful of how much you pump out. One full pump is more than enough for both eyes so I use half a pump. The serum provides great hydration and according to a show Dr. Oz did, retinol should be a key component in eye serum because it is highly effective in improving the look of dark circles and bags. Although darkness and lines don’t vanish overnight I like waking up with eyes that look bright and rested instead of tired and haggard. I have been using this eye serum for months now and so far the results are positive.

This serum retails for $62 per (15 g), a little goes a long way and the ingredients are great. You can find more information HERE

Intense Restoration Moisture Cream

After months of use this cream has become one of my favorite facial moisturizers. It uses flower fractions and natural botanicals to keep skin supple. For those who suffer from dry skin and need to fight the effects of the frigid winter this is one of the most hydrating formulas I have used to date. 

Ingredients & Benefits

* Builds up collagen

*Raspberry wax is what provides the intense moisture and quick absorption

*Black currant: improves circulation, prevents tissue damage and dehydration

*Rose hip: rich in anti oxidants, encourages cell regeneration

*Lotus flower: protects, strengthens and improves elasticity

* Provides a nutrient rich complexion

* High in antioxidants

Also contains: jojoba, rose hip, witch hazel, sunflower, lavender, red poppy, sandalwood, ylang ylang, currant seed and a long list of floral extracts! I am amazed at how many natural ingredients are packed into this moisturizer! To see the full list of ingredients click HERE 

The jar is rather heavy and contains a lot of product. I love this moisturizer! It is of medium thickness, creamy and a little goes a long way. When they say “intense moisture” they aren't kidding, it is wonderful for dry or combination skin types because it provides incredible hydration without feeling greasy. When I use this cream I feel instant relief of dryness and it provides moisture that is soothing and long lasting. I use it at night and during the day under makeup. It is great for getting rid of dry, flaky patches and contains no animal or dairy bi-products, it also smells good.

This cream retails for $55 per (50g) and you can find it HERE

Argan –Tangerine Deep Cleansing Lotion (with anti-aging benefits)

This cleanser is made to remove dirt, oil and makeup with the benefits of tangerine blossom and aroma therapy. It is rich in fatty acids which nourish the skin.

Ingredients & Benefits

*Jojoba oil: moisturizes, protects, conditions and balances oil production

*Argan oil: nourishes, protects and regenerates

The cleanser smells of citrus and is great for travel because it has a cap that prevents spills. When I first used the product I was unsure if it would remove makeup and deep cleanse because it feels oil based rather than lotion- like. It also does not lather or suds up at all, but surprisingly it does clean my skin very effectively. It removes the remnants of makeup and washes off with water alone leaving behind no discernible residue. When the product is rubbed in the hands and applied to the face there is a warm, soothing effect which feels very pleasant.

After use my skin felt smooth, clean and refreshed without feeling dry and stripped. The natural oils leave my skin soft and because the cleanser is effective, mild and non- irritating I can accept the fact that it doesn't suds up.

This cleanser retails for $34 per (120 g), you can find it HERE

Overall this is an impressive skin care line. The products are great quality, react favorably with my skin and produce good results.

Pelle Beauty Facial Oils Review

Today I have a review on a wonderful skin care line that I have been trying by Pelle Beauty. This company was founded by Marnie Cipriani; a health conscious woman who took advantage of the skin’s amazing absorption abilities and created skin products with natural ingredients that are beneficial for good health.

I Love finding products that are natural and chemical free. Winter can wreak havoc on the skin and here in Canada the temperature recently dropped to-35 degrees Celsius! I need products that will keep my skin moisturized all day and these oils actually help retain moisture and provides long lasting hydration. I am no stranger to using natural oils for skin care, in fact  my post on borage oil has proved to be quite helpful to my readers and since receiving these oils a few weeks ago I have used them every night!

Many of you may see the word "oil" and think greasy and shiny but "facial oils are one of the most natural and effective ways to moisturize skin." These are not the types of oils that clog pores and cause acne; in fact some of these oils may actually help prevent breakouts! Even on my combination skin they work well.

The first product I am going to review is the Stellar Lightweight Multitasking Facial Oil

This oil contains:

 *Meadowfoam seed oil:  absorbs easily into the skin to moisturize, reduce wrinkles and signs of aging.

*Black currant seed oil: high in antioxidants, reduces the signs of aging, antibacterial, rich in omega 3.

*Rice (bran) oil: rich in antioxidants, helps protect dry chapped skin, used in Japan for centuries for skin care benefits.

*Grape seed oil: treats acne, tightens skin, relieves dark circles under the eyes, moisturizes and fights aging.

*Vitamin E: crucial in protecting skin cells, protects against UV rays and helps reduce wrinkles. 

*Bitter orange flower oil: calming benefits.

*Sandalwood oil: fights bacteria, anti-inflammatory, helps heal and fade scars, softens skin, helps skin retain moisture, anti-aging, helps heal eczema and psoriasis, helps shrink pimples, can be used as an aftershave. 

How to use the oil

The oil can be used to moisturize skin all year round even in humid climates because of its light formula. You can also use it to remove makeup, as a makeup primer for dry skin types and a thin layer under clay masks helps condition and protect the skin. I have even taken to adding a few drops to my body butters or body lotions to amp up the moisture level and keep my entire body feeling soft and supple.

On the bottle is says to use 2-4 drops of oil after cleansing the skin and you can use it at night or during the day. I use the oil prior to bed because during the day my skin tends to become naturally oily under my makeup. I love that the bottles come with a medicine dropper so you can control exactly how much or how little oil you dispense. The scent is quite strong and predominantly smells of sandalwood, I find the scent calming and it does tend to dissipate as you wear it. The oil makes my skin look radiant in the morning!

There is no shine or residue (when used sparingly) and it gets rid of all dry spots. Even though this is a face oil I think it can be used on the entire body, I even use this oil to protect my hands and cuticles from becoming dry and a few drops would work well to moisturize after a pedicure for healthy looking feet.

The second oil I am going to review is called Luxe Beauty Oil and it is suitable for all skin types.

This oil is one of Pelle Beauty’s newest oils and one of my favorites! It has natural anti-aging benefits and 10 plant-based floral extracts and botanicals to“restore and revitalize lackluster complexions.” It also has aroma therapy benefits and it is the perfect way to end to a relaxing spa evening at home or sooth the skin after exfoliation.

This oil contains:

*Meadowfoam seed oil

*Rice bran oil

*Babassu oil: contains vitamin E, anti-inflammatory properties, contains antioxidants, helps treat itchy dry skin and scalp, helps treat eczema, restores hair elasticity, conditions and moisturizes skin and hair.

*Bitter orange flower oil

*Jasmine oil: tones dry sensitive and irritated skin, increases elasticity, helps improve the appearance of stretch marks and scarring.

*Rosa damascena flower oil: repairs broken capillaries, treats rough dry skin, reduces inflammation, irritation and redness.

*Ylang Ylang flower oil: helps treat oily skin,  treats acne and blemishes, stimulates cell growth, smooths wrinkles and signs of premature aging.

The Beauty facial Oil also comes with a medicine dropper applicator and has a very floral scent. Like the other oil a little goes a long way and I only use 3-4 drops. You can apply it directly on the skin from the dropper and massage in or as I like to do, apply a few drops to the back of the hand first and then press it into the skin using the fingertips. 

This oil feels like instant relief when applied to dry skin. I apply my oil before bed and all the amazing ingredients go to work and absorbs as I sleep. I wake up in the morning with hydrated skin that feels soft and my complexion looks fresh and dewy. These oils are a great way to pamper your skin every day.

The Luxe Beauty Oil retails for $68 For more information click HERE

 Quality

What makes these particular oils so wonderful is that they contain no fillers, so you are not paying for watered down products, you receive 100% highly concentrated oils. The facial oils are vegan and made from plant based ingredients. The bottles will also last a long time because you only need to use a few drops a day. I would recommend these oils for anyone who suffers from dry skin or those who need to improve the appearance, texture and health of their skin.
