Got Psoriasis? Try Psoriarid! All Natural And No Stench!

Psoriarid Cream Formula with Argan Oil, 2oz Cream
I was impressed first of all by the ingredients. Powerful natural ingredients that have withstood the test of time. Second of all, it doesn't reek like so many treatment creams do! I actually don't have psoriasis, I have rosacea which is similar in being a rashy skin condition accompanied by tons of redness and itching. I had a flare up a few days ago and put this on my butterfly rash and it was instantly calmed down and soothed. By the next day, I would say that the amount of raised areas had decreased by at least half. I'm extremely grateful to finally find something that works!

Fish Oil Does Amazing Things For Your Skin And Hair -Bye Bye Dandruff And Rosacea!

Fish oil capsules have beauty benefits.

Fish oil capsules can be big and hard to swallow, but they have beauty benefits that make them worth the trouble. They can reduce redness on your face and make hair shiny and strong. Because it’s the omega-3 oils that work this magic, this triple strength formula really does go to work.

 How Fish Oil Capsules Benefit Skin
In a study published in "The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology" in 2008, omega-3 fatty acids were found to reduce symptoms of rosacea, those red blotchy patches on your skin and inflamed capillaries on your face. Taking fish oil capsules can benefit the look and health of your skin, especially if you have a skin condition like rosacea or eczema, reports Dr. Perricone. (of famed Perricone M.D. Skinceuticals line) 

How Fish Oil Capsules Benefit Hair
The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil capsules can also benefit your hair, making it shinier and stronger. Omega-3s are a healthy fat, helping to reduce skin dryness that can lead to dandruff or an itchy scalp. The natural oils that lubricate the scalp, hair and skin tend to lessen as we age. The omega-3s in fish oil capsules will help alleviate this dryness that leads to brittle hair and wrinkles. A study published in "Dermatologic Clinics" in 2013 reported that hair follicles can be impaired by a lack of essential fatty acids.

I've found that when I quit taking fish oil, my dandruff returns- I was out of fish oil and within a week of taking these my scalp had cleared back up. My rosacea flares also backed off, since I started taking them again I haven't had a single flare. 

This one has the added benefit of including the ever essential and hard to get Vitamin D!

Marching In The Beauty Army Products - Fiafini, Control Corrective, Apothoderm, Aquolina, Egyptian Magic, Pssssst!

BeautyArmy  is $12 a month with the option to skip any month. What makes them different from most sample subscriptions is that you get to choose which 6 samples you want. There's generally a mix of standard packettes, deluxe sample and travel sizes (my Psssst is the size can sold in stores in the travel section) and often a full sized item. As I state in the video, I picked what I genuinely wanted to try, not necessarily the best DOLLAR value items available to me.







Fiafini Skincare Divine Hydration Marula Oil Moisturizer is fantastic- it moisturizes AND firms skin and calms my redness INSTANTLY! No more looking like W.C. Fields..... Marula oil is sadly overlooked by most companies. This is one of those instances where I was intrigued by a product for my sensitive skin but didn't want to buy something and have it not work. So yes, I got a packette sample- don't care- I wanted to test it before dropping $40 on a product I couldn't use. That's what samples are FOR, not to accumulate a Sephora in my house. (Which I've done anyway......)

Finally, complete complexion perfection with the moisture and anti-aging actives your skin craves. Get the divine skin of your dreams with fiafini. A hydrating and healing moisturizer that firms, minimizes wrinkles and restores elasticity, divine hydration moisturizer is the triple-targeted solution to the most common signs of aging. Formulated to be ultra-hydrating yet never heavy, this moisturizer helps soothe and calm redness with prickly pear, avocado and evening primrose extracts, while also reducing environmental stress on the skin. Powerful antioxidants marula oil and vitamin E fight fine lines and wrinkles, and help visibly firm and lift the skin for complete perfection, and as with all fiafini products, our moisturizer will always be free of fragrance, alcohol, mineral oil, and all parabens. No animal testing and vegan.

Control Corrective Redness Relief Serum
For sensitive, inflamed or Rosacea-prone skin. Botanical extracts plus skin-balancing vitamins reduce trans epidermal water loss, which in turn helps strengthen and balance the skin, reduce redness and inhibit future flare-ups. I'll be honest- can't tell you what I thought because it got eaten by my bathroom before I got to try it..... WHAH!!!!!!


Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream, 5.7 Ounce
  • Visible results in as little as 2 weeks
  • Evens skin tone and improve skin texture and smoothness
  • Protects the skin to help prevent future stretch marks
  • Optimally blends natural emollients: shea butter, cocoa butter, olive oil, meadowfoam seed oil

 I'm normally not a huge fan of really sweet scents but for some reason I am ADDICTED to Pink Sugar. Maybe it's the addition of the peppery, spicy undernotes that elevate it from little girl to sexy. This is what Bath & Body Works scents strives to achieve- a playful sweet scent for adults.

Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream is a cult favorite for a reason- even Madonna is a huge fan! The label is an esoteric version of the Dr. Bronners labels making for some amusing bathroom reading.

This is the original spray dry shampoo and it does an amazing job of soaking up oil and refreshing your hair- even removes the smell of smoke! For blowout gals this is a lifesaver and maybe even more sore for those of us who prefer to hit the snooze button.

Blissoma- Natural, Effective, Fabulous!

     I've used a number of Blissoma products, and across the board there hasn't been a single dud in the bunch. Using ingredients that are natural, organic, free of chemicals and nasty byproducts that are then put together by a woman with an education in actual chemistry, what you are left with as an end product is genuine nutrition for your skin. In fact, all of the products with the exception of the deodorants are even certified vegan.


My skin has become ragingly sensitive over the years, reactive redness, rosacea, ad infinitum. Adaptive Energy Tonique leaves my skin feeling balanced and soothed. I use it after washing my face and it prepares my skin for my serum and moisturizer. It's also fabulous during the day to revive my makeup (and my psyche.) In the mornings it's bright subtle scent is a great way to start the day. My last rosacea flare up, I actually kept this by my side so that any time I began to get itchy I could spray this on my face and stave off the desire to claw my face open like a rabid hyena.


Skin Type: Sensitive, Demanding                    100% Vegan - 100% Natural

This Adaptive Energy Tonique provides a clean burst of highly absorbant, water-based botanicals and nutrients to facial skin - like an health drink you can spray.

The base is a specially prepared infusion of fresh organic cantaloupe. It brings Vitamin A, B3, B6 and potassium to our blend as well as a fresh melon aroma. 

Organic Rhodiola, Holy Basil, and Red Clover help skin respond to internal and external stressors, process environmental pollutants, and hormonal fluctuations. Organic Calendula helps heal blemishes, synthesize collagen, and soothe irritations.

Apply:
Spray directly onto facial skin after cleansing, mask treatments, or anytime during the day to give skin a boost of hydration and high functionality. Allow to absorb and then moisturize. Can also be used to set mineral makeups.
Each 4 oz container is approximately a 2 month supply.

Made of:
Water, Infusion of Rhodiola rosea*, Ocimum sanctum* (holy basil), Trifolium pratense* (red clover), Lonicera japonica* (honeysuckle), Calendula officinalis*, and Avena sativa* (oatstraw), Cucumis melo (cantaloupe) Infusion*, Grain Alcohol*, Aloe barbadensis Juice*, Essential oils of Pelargonium roseum (rose geranium) and Citrus bergamia (bergamot) FCF, citronellol**, geraniol**, linalool**, limonene**
*from Certified Organic Agriculture
**natural components of essential oils

Herbal Gel Cleanser & Makeup Remover is downright miraculous. Again with my sensitive skin- this causes no irritation at all. Some makeup removers leave my skin with a bit of a burning or stinging sensation that luckily subsides pretty quickly most of the time, but it still sucks. No such problems here, it actually feels quite nice and like the toner is also quite soothing, even during a flare up. But the kicker is, it actually WORKS. Super gentle, yet somehow it removes even stubborn eye makeup with ease (and if you ever have watched my videos, you know I loves me some eye makeup!) The toner test afterwards shows that your skin is super clean with no residue clinging to your skin. Despite cleansing so thoroughly, it doesn't leave your skin feeling dried out and doesn't alter your skin's ph balance. Score!

Skin Type: Ultra Sensitive, Eye Area, Oily/Problem, All types and ages 
100% Vegan - 100% Natural

Free is a duo-purpose, restorative gel cleanser for when you need to remove difficult makeup and all the day's dirt in one easy, healing wash. 

Free is the ideal match for the most reactive and allergic skin types due to it's super pure, simple, and elegant botanical construction. Its ingredients may be easy to understand, but don't underestimate the uniqueness of how they work together. Together in this beautifully balanced gel herbs, soapbark, and gentle organic oils come together to rinse skin clean and balance it all at once. 

Organic, food-grade Soapbark extract makes bubbles for your face that everyone can enjoy. Along with the fun of sudsing up an infusion of organic Yerba Mate sweeps over your skin bringing with it 196 active compounds. That's more than the ever-popular Green Tea. The 11 Polyphenols Yerba Mate boasts possess potent cell protective properties. Combined with anti-inflammatory Olive Leaf, soothing Linden, regenerating Self Heal (Prunella), and gentle Cornflowers your skin has every reason to be restored. Even the delicate eye area can be easily washed free of waterproof makeup without tugging or any skin distress.

This gel rinses to a lighter and almost "squeaky" clean than our Fresh Mild Rice Cleanser. It's still free of any actual soaps though, and is the correct, skin-friendly, acidic PH. Free is also decidedly and appropriately "free" of even natural origin irritants. Free has no scents at all, no ethyl alcohol (grain alcohol), gluten, or nut ingredients, and avoids the usual list of synthetic nasties that never appear in our recipes. If you have really reactive skin then this cleanser is suitable for you.

Apply:
Moisten face. Dispense 2 or 3 pumps into hands and apply to skin including eye area for makeup removal. Massage gently to remove daily impurities. Remove with warm water, using a washcloth for extra exfoliation and makeup removal. Pat dry. Tone and moisturize.
Each 4 oz container is approximately a 1 month supply when used twice daily.
