This is a fantastic hydrating toner that is cruelty free and vegan. This toner is suitable for all skin types and can be used throughout all four seasons. It is hydrating enough to keep your skin feeling replenished throughout the fall and winter as well as light weight enough for spring and summer. This toner is a mild formula and helps maintain healthy skin. The key ingredient is green tea which is intended to help soothe and moisturize the skin. Other amazing ingredients found in this toner are glycerin and calendula.
Green tea extract: a botanical ingredient that is naturally rich in antioxidants and other youth enhancing compounds. It reduces redness, inflammation and irritation. It has antibacterial, healing, and UV protection properties.
Glycerin: Glycerin is a humectant, a type of moisturizing agent that pulls water into the outer layer of your skin from deeper levels of your skin and the air. In skin care products, glycerin is commonly used with occlusives, another type of moisturizing agent, to trap the moisture that it draws into the skin.
Calendula: Calendula oil is a natural oil extracted from marigold flowers. Calendula oil has antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties that might make it useful in healing wounds, soothing eczema, and relieving most rashes. It's also used as an antiseptic.
My experience: I love this hydrating water/ toner. It is so simplistic yet effective. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed. My skin feels soft and moisturized. The toner is very lightweight but still manages to leave my skin feeling replenished. I love the ingredients and how gentle it is on my skin. It comes in a very decent size bottle and with so much product. In my opinion this toner is definitely worth the price point. This would be a great addition to anyone’s skincare routine because It is so versatile.

This amazing eye balm not only leaves a nice refreshing cooling sensation under the eye but also gives the under eye a luminous iridescent appeal. Leaving the eyes looking brighter and more vibrant especially when the sun hits your face. This eye balm is filled with some pretty fantastic ingredients. Some of the key ingredients are Avocado Oil, Jojoba Oil, Olea Europaea Fruit Oil (olive oil) and Vitamin E. This eye balm has a rich and hydrating formula. It is also light weight on the eye area and wears well under concealer and foundation.
Avocado Oil: Avocado oil is a versatile ingredient that can help your skin in many ways. Filled with fatty acids, carotenoids, vitamins and antioxidants such as vitamin E and C, and minerals avocado oil has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and very high moisturizing properties.
Jojoba oil: Jojoba oil has anti-inflammatory properties which help to tame chaffing and chapping, reduce redness caused by drying, ease the effects of eczema and rosacea, and keep skin calm and comfortable. The Vitamin E and B-complex vitamins in the Jojoba oil help in skin repair and damage control.
Olive oil: Olea europaea Fruit Oil (Olive Oil) Produced from top-quality olives and naturally rich in vitamins A and E, as well as the powerful hydroxytyrosol, which has anti-inflammatory effects and is free radical fighting. Olive oil can penetrate the skin, prevent loss of moisture and give a silky smooth softness.
Vitamin E: Helps support cell function and skin health. It's an antioxidant, making it effective at combating the effects of free radicals produced by the metabolism of food and toxins in the environment. Vitamin E may be beneficial at reducing UV damage to skin.
My experience: I love this eye balm ❤️❤️ it leaves my eyes looking so beautiful and refreshed. I look more awake and my eyes look brighter. This eye balm is very moisturizing and hydrating. Yes it does contain a lot of oils but doesn’t leave my skin feeling or looking oily in any way. I have combination skin and usually get oily in my T zone area which is right beneath my eyes. I have been using this eye balm for about a week and have used it under makeup and without makeup. It sits on the skin comfortably and doesn’t break up my concealer. One of my favorite things about this eye balm is that it leaves a nice glow to the under eye which helps with minimizing the look of my dark circles helping my eyes look brighter. I love the pink packaging and the component it comes in. It is just a really good eye balm.

Ok so recently I have been obsessed with having my hair in a certain type of style. My hair is naturally wavy but I wanted a product that could enhance those waves and help them look more textured and messy. I use many different brands of texturizing spray because in my opinion some do give a different result than others. OGX texturing spray has been a brand that I have consistently used for quite some time. This particular sprays key ingredients are sea salt, sea kelp, and Moroccan argon oil. I like this texture spray because it doesn't leave my hair looking and feeling to rough or textured. It is more on the subtle side and is great for everyday use. I don't have to wash my hair every single time after using it because it doesn't leave my hair feeling like I sprayed a ton of hair spray in it. I also like that it contains argon oil which helps nourish the hair and keep hair feeling soft. It is a great affordable texturing spray and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a texturing spray to use and isn't quite sure which brand to go for. -

Korean barley tea is an infusion of roasted grains in water. This tea has a Smokey aroma with a nutty roasted flavor and a bitter sweet after taste. The flavor is quite unique and really stands out from any other tea that I have tried so far. This tea can be enjoyed hot or cold, I preferably like it hot with a bit of honey and cream. It really brings out the flavor. A soothing drink that doubles up as an herbal medicine, barley tea is full of antioxidants and acts as a natural anti-bacterial. It takes on a lot of healthy properties of barley which is very high in fibre, packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that safeguard the body against cell damage. The tea bag contains full size grains that are brewed to their absolute potential and provide so many fantastic benefits to your body, skin, and overall well being.
Benefits of drinking Barley Tea:
* Barley tea can help in detoxifying your body in two ways. First, it cleanses your blood. Barley tea contains a substance called pyrazine that prevents blood coagulation and helps in improving circulation. Secondly, it is great for your liver that helps in excreting all the toxins from your body. It also helps in breaking down the excess fat and thus allows your liver to function at its best.
* Barley tea contains melatonin and tryptophan, which are both active ingredients that promote good sleep. Also, since it is caffeine-free, you can have it before you hit the bed and not worry about your sleep being disturbed. But, remember that moderation is the key.
* Barley tea is rich in antioxidants and has anti-bacterial properties too. This makes it a great home remedy for cold and flu. It breaks up the phlegm and relieves you from congestion and even cures a sore throat. At the same time, it also helps in building up your immunity and makes you stronger from within.
* The anti-inflammatory compounds found in barley tea are great for joint pain, arthritis, gout, oxidative stress, and other inflammation issues throughout the body. The antioxidants found in it are great for inflammatory conditions of all kinds, including those that affect neurodegenerative and chronic diseases.
* Antioxidants come in many forms within barley tea, and all of them can help with oxidative stress in the body, which is what causes premature aging, wrinkles, and age spots. These beneficial compounds can also improve skin elasticity and keep you looking younger for longer!
So there you have it this tea is no less than a miracle worker lol. Out of all the unique teas I have tried so far this is honestly my favorite. It has so many amazing benefits and is enjoyable to drink. The flavor is so unique and delicious. I have personally felt an improvement in my overall health and well being as well as improvement in my skin. It was actually thanks to a fellow friend on this app who suggested I try barley tea which is how I was introduced to it. So she has my gratitude 🙏 because I don’t think I will ever stop drinking this tea ☕️.

This mask is pretty straightforward and simplistic along the lines of ingredients and sometimes that is necessary in some cases when it comes to skincare. This mask is made with 100% pure cica extract and is intended to strengthen the skins moisture barrier as well as soothe skin irritation. This mask is suggested for those with dry or sensitive skin. The mask itself is of a gel consistency with what appears to be herbs 🌿 mixed into it. I pretty much applied a thin layer to my face and let it sit for about ten minutes before wiping the mask off. It did have a somewhat nice cooling and calming affect to it. Just like most typical gel masks. My skin overall felt soft and very much moisturized. One thing I noticed above anything else was the scent. This mask has a very strong overwhelming scent of herbs. Which I wouldn’t necessarily say is a bad thing but you will surely understand what I’m talking about once you remove the top and start applying this mask to your face. Overall I really like this mask. I personally believe it will definitely come in handy at those moments when my skin is feeling irritated and looking more on the reddish side. It calms the skin while infusing it with moisture which seems pretty essential to a good skincare routine. I use exfoliants quite a lot wether it be chemical or mechanical and because of that my skin tends to get a little red and irritated. So it is safe to say I will be using this mask quite often lol.
Benefits of Cica: Cica has a huge list of skin benefits, but it is most well known for its healing, soothing, antibacterial, and inflammatory properties, meaning it is ideal for sensitised skin. Cica skincare is great for conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, scarring, and cellulite, and are incredibly moisturising.

April Skin carrot 🥕 acne foam cleanser is a cleanser that is intended to help with relieving dry sensitive skin, reduce breakouts, help control sebum production, and minimize irritation caused by acne. This cleanser contains vitamin A and beta carotene and cleanses the skin without stripping it if it’s natural oils. Leaving skin feeling smooth, refreshed, and clear.
Benefits of Vitamin A: Vitamin A helps to speed up healing, prevent breakouts and support the skin's immune system and it promotes natural moisturising - which means it helps to hydrate the skin effectively, giving it a radiant glow. It assists in promoting and maintaining a healthy dermis and epidermis; the top two layers of your skin.
Benefits of Beta carotene: The human body converts beta carotene into vitamin A (retinol) – beta carotene is a precursor of vitamin A. We need vitamin A for healthy skin and mucus membranes, our immune system, and good eye health and vision. Carrots are found in many colors, including yellow, white, orange, red, and purple. Orange carrots get their bright color from beta carotene, an antioxidant that your body converts into vitamin A.
My experience: I already had a positive feeling about this cleanser before I even tried it. I love every product I have tried from April skin thus far and this cleanser is no exception. I love the creamy orange consistency and foam lather that this cleanser has. It cleansed my skin really well and left my skin feeling really refreshed and didn’t dry out my skin. Lately I have been getting quite a few breakouts more than what I am used to. I don’t know why but my skin is just not cooperating lol. I’ve been looking for products to incorporate into my skincare routine to help with clearing up my skin while continuing to leave my skin feeling hydrated and moisturized. This cleanser seems to fit the bill well. I absolutely love that this cleanser contains vitamin A. Vitamin A is an active ingredient that I have grown very fond of. I’m starting to sway more towards anti-aging products because I am moving up more towards my 30s and personally feel as though I should be looking towards products that keep my skin feeling and looking youthful and lifted. Vitamin A is of course a retinol and helps achieve that firmness and lifted appeal. So having a cleanser that contains such an ingredient already makes me even more of a fan. Along the lines of minimizing breakouts i haven’t seen to much of a change but only time will tell. Either way this is a really good cleanser and pretty unique if you ask me. I always love coming across skincare that you don’t generally see in the skincare market so I definitely recommend trying it out.

A nice moisturizing facial cream that minimizes blemishes while soothing and nourishing the skin. The ingredients in this cream that stood out to me were Niacinamide, carrot root water, and turmeric root extract. This cream is very interesting and unique. I love the orange color and rich consistency of this cream. It melts into my skin and absorbs fairly quickly. My skin is left feeling soft, smooth, and supple. This carrot cream gives my skin just the right amount of moisture and replenishment ( the perfect balance) you could say. I also really appreciate that this cream comes packaged in a tube. I personally believe it to be more hygienic. I love the vibrant orange color which color coordinates with the rest of the Real Carrot 🥕 line. This is definitely a cream I would recommend if you have blemish prone skin. It will help with blemish control without drying out the skin.
Benefits of Niacinamide: Also known as vitamin B3 and nicotinamide, niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin that works with the natural substances in your skin to help visibly minimize enlarged pores, tighten lax pores, improve uneven skin tone, soften fine lines and wrinkles, diminish dullness, and strengthen a weakened surface.
Benefits of Carrot root water: You can apply carrot pulp directly on your skin to fade blemishes and scars. Their anti-inflammatory properties will also help to revitalise and tone the skin. Carrot extract is a beta carotene which is a precursor to vitamin A. Vitamin A helps increase cell turnover and is generally used in a lot of anti-aging skincare. Carrot extract is also rich in antioxidants which help fend off skin damaging free radicals.
Turmeric root extract: Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits, turmeric can work wonders on condition-riddled skin. It can also help reduce redness from blemishes and calm skin conditions like eczema and rosacea. Turmeric is excellent for acne because it is a natural antiseptic and helps to keep bacteria from spreading.
My Experience: I’ve been using this cream for about two weeks now and I can honestly say I have noticed a difference in my skin. Using this cream in combination with April’s skin carrot cleanser and serum I have noticed my blemishes diminish and my skin become brighter. I’ve noticed that all the products are similar along the lines of ingredients but work so well together to provide me with bright, even toned, overall clear skin. Which is the skin I strive to have. All the products from the carrot blemish line are fantastic and provide amazing results. Now I’m just waiting for April Skin to come out with a Carrot Mask to overall sum up the entire line. Now that would game changing ☺️❤️😍🤩

I absolutely love this cleanser 🙌🏻🙌🏻 apart from its fantastic ingredients it is one of the best gel cleansers I have come across in a while. This cleanser has a nice gel consistency and glides across the skin with such ease. I usually start off massaging the cleanser into my skin followed by adding a bit of water which helps build up a really nice lather. This cleanser deeply cleans my skin and is phenomenal at cleaning off any kind of makeup. It breaks down mascara like it’s child’s play leaving my face looking clean and clear. One key element that really has me swooning over this cleanser is how hydrating and moisturized my skin feels after using it. My skin feels soft and replenished like literally not striped at all. My skin looks bright and radiant as well as my breakouts diminishing right before my eyes. This is a really fantastic cleanser and at a pretty reasonable cost considering the results I have gotten since I started using it. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cleanser that will brighten, hydrate, and even out there skin tone. Some of the key ingredients in this cleanser are Vitamin C, Seaweed, Green tea, Ginseng, and aloe Vera.
Spotlight on Ingredients
*Vitamin C acts as a shield against environmental stressors by fighting free radicals - those pesky molecules that damage cells and contribute to premature aging. It is also good for the skin because it reduces the risk of oily skin which can result in acne.
*Green Tea contains high amounts of amino acids, enzymes, and polyphenols - powerful, natural antioxidants that delay the signs of skin aging.
*Aloe Vera is one of the most powerful natural skin repairing herbs. It helps protect and repair the damage caused by the sun, dust, pollution, harsh chemicals, making it the ideal ingredient in preventing acne and reducing excess sebum.
*Ginseng is naturally abundant in vitamins and minerals that tighten skin, accelerate the natural repair process, promote skin hydration, and relieve inflammation caused by acne, making it a wonderful anti-aging ingredient.
* Seaweed is an antioxidant which can help prevent free radical damage to the skin and protect against skin aging. In addition, seaweed can moisturize and calm the skin. It is also good at combating acne.
