Organic Skincare | Glow by JS47 Canadian Brand | Review

 Hello lovelies,

   With all of the time that I have been spending at home the past year, skincare has been of the utmost importance. I have been focusing more on using natural and organic products and dedicating more time to my self-care routine. Having a solid skincare and self-care routine has allowed me time to be more centered, calm and less anxious, plus my skin looks and feels amazing! 

  I was recently introduced to a new organic skincare brand that is not only female owned but also Canadian, which is not that common to come by, so I was very excited to partner with them and try their products. GlowbyJS47 offers a range of products that can be used on your body, face and hair. All of their products are organic and contain ingredients that you can actually read. Their products are for everyone - men, women and children, which I love as I am also able to use them on my kids who all have sensitive skin. 

Here are the products that I have tried from GlowbyJS47 and my favourite benefits of each:


Shea Butter and Olive Oil Moisturizer

The texture of the Shea Butter and Olive Oil Moisturizer is hard as it is cold pressed, however it melts into your skin. I use this as an overall body moisturizer and on the ends of my hair. It has a light smell that is not at all too strong, which is perfect for those who are sensitive to smell. All three of my kids get eczema and when they have flare ups, this is my go-to product. I put it on my kids skin before they go to bed and their skin is clear by morning.

Shea Butter and Lemon Moisturizer

Similar to the above moisturizer, the Shea Butter and Lemon Moisturizer is a cold pressed product. With the addition of lemon, this moisturizer is packed full of vitamin C and it also offers a light exfoliant. I love using this moisturizer of my face after I do any treatments, as the vitamin C helps with cell turnover and provides anti-aging benefits. I also use it on my body where I have stretch marks and it has greatly helped to soften the texture of my skin and aid it the reduced appearance of some of my street hair marks.

Carrot Oil Face Serum

The Carrot Oil Serum is by far one of my favourites. During the winter months I have had some hormonal breakouts and this face serum combined with the Lemon Moisturizer, have both drastically helped to clear up my skin. Carrot oil has antibacterial, antifungal and and anti-inflammatory benefits that directly help to heal and prevent acne. The serum is not too thick and has a light smell to it. A little goes a long with this product.

Balanite Oil Face Serum

The Balanite Oil Face Serum helps to soften textured skin, while also providing intense moisture, as it is extremely absorbable, allowing into to penetrate into the dream levels of the skin. This oil contains linolic acid and oldie acid, as well as a natural steroid diosgenin which helps heal acne and acne scarring, which is also something that I was dealing heavily with during the winter months.

Organic skincare products are usually offered at a much higher price range, but this entire line from GlowbyJS47 is incredibly affordable. All of their skincare products are under $30 and the amount of product that you get, especially with the Shea Butter Moisturizers is incredible. I cannot rave about their products enough. The fact that their products are clean, organic and safe to use on my kids is a huge plus. The effectiveness of their products and how quickly they have changed the appearance of my skin is another bonus. With some other product lines, you have to commit to only using their brand for 3+ months until you see a noticeable difference and that is not the case with the GlowbyJS47 product line. I noticed a difference in both the appearance and texture of my skin within DAYS of using their products. I also still continue to use some of my favourite products from other brands (toners, treatments, eye creams etc..) and it has not disrupted their effectiveness in any way. 

If you are looking for a new skincare brand that is organic, Canadian and female owned, then I highly recommend you try out the GlowbyJS47 product line. They also offer skincare packages under $40 that would make the perfect gift for a girlfriend, sister or even for your mom. Giving the gift of skincare is also giving the gift of self-care and every man and woman deserves to have some self-care time.


Thank you so much for reading. I hope that you all enjoyed this post and if you try our any of their products, leave me a comment below and let me know your favs.

Mad Hippie Skincare Review

Hello lovelies,


Lately, I have been on a skincare kick, trying to find the best products for my skin. I was fortunate enough to receive some products from Mad Hippie Skincare to try out and review. If you have never heard of Mad Hippie Skincare, they are a natural skincare company that is vegan and cruelty free. I strongly value and appreciate companies that are cruelty free, especially when it comes to products that I use on my face and body. 

The products that I received were the Antioxidant Facial Oil and the Hydrating Nutrient Mist. I will review them both below separately and let you know my honest opinion for each product. 




Antioxidant Facial Oil

Claims

Make peace with your inner hippie while hydrating & protecting....Our preservative-free antioxidant oil is truly the most natural way to moisturize.

My thoughts:

Full of natural oils and extracts (argan oil, camu camu, blueberry extract, buckthorn, straxberry extra, goji berry and more) and high in vitamin C, this oil definitely does moisturize. Argan Oil aids in helping reduce scars, so in addition to using this oil on my face, I have also been using it on my stretch marks. 

With this product you only need a couple of drops for your face. The first time I used it, I definitely used too much and it did leave my skin feeling oily. I recommend ensuring that you wash your face and also tone before using this product. A little goes a long way. 

I have been using the Antioxidant Facial Oil 1-2 times a week with my face roller and occasionally more on days where my face is really dry. I have also as I mentioned, been using it on my stomach and I do that 3-4 times a week. I do notice a difference in my skin on the days that I do use it - my skin doesn't feel as dry and my makeup actually stays on better too.

Will I continue to use this product?
Yes!

Do I recommend this product? 
Yes, no matter what skin type you have. 

Great value?
Totally. It is such a great price for the amount of product that you get. The fact that I can use it on more than just my face and that it is all natural is a huge win in my book. 

Cost: $24.99 / 30ml

Hydrating Nutrient Mist

Claims

Effervescent blend of antioxidants and hydrating essentials.  Leaves your skin feeling soft & supple, and ready to take on the daily stresses of modern day life.
Perfect for face, arms, neck & chest!
Made with hesperiden, sodium PCA, milk thisle, ginko biloba, pomegranate seed extract, green tea and more.

My thoughts:

When using this product, I spray it onto my face and rub it into my skin. It tightens up my skin and feels almost like a toner, which at first I thought was odd, however it is meant to be antioxidant as well, which is why green tea is one of the ingredients, and green tea does help to tighten up the skin. I leave it on for about 5-10 minutes before completing my full skin care routine. 

This product also claims to naturally lighten dark spots, however I don't have any on my face, so I can not speak to that claim. I would like to know if this is true for any of you though, if you have tried this product (comment below!) 

Will I continue to use this product?
Yes.

Do I recommend this product?
Yes, it is a great mist for every skin type, if you just need a refresh. Great for every day use as well.

Great value?
Yes. You don't need a lot when you spray the mist and if you spray it onto your hands or a cotton pad you will actually use less product. 

Cost: 19.99 / 118ml


If you have never tried Mad Hippie Skincare products, I highly recommend checking them out, as I am in love with these two products. I am excited to check out the rest of their line and try more products from them in the future. If you have tried any of their products, comment below and tell me your favourites!

Thank you so much for reading this post, I hope that you have found it helpful and if you are not yet following me on Instagram, be sure to do so right >>> here <<<


Until next time.....
