Raise your hand if you are obsessed with the Hallmark Channel. *Raises Hand* I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Hallmark Channel. I could, and have, watch it all day long. An unexpected surprise was their daytime show Home & Family. It’s been around a long time, but it wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I stumbled upon it…All it took was one episode, and I was hooked. My husband was annoyed that our DVR was overflowing with Home & Family episodes. The biggest reason I love that show is because of the co-hosts, Debbie Matenopoulos and Cameron Mathison.
Now this isn’t about Home & Family…but have you seen how amazingly gorgeous Debbie Matenopoulous is?!?! What is in the world is her secret?? Her secret is Ikaria Beauty. Although these products are quite expensive, they are definitely worth a try. As women, the older we get, the younger we want to look. Since the fountain of youth is just a myth, we should really try the next best thing…Ikaria Beauty.
After about a week of using these products, I really did start to notice a difference, mainly in how my skin felt. I suffer from acne due to the medications I’m taking, and I’m never good at leaving my face alone. I tend to spend a solid hour in the bathroom trying to get rid of cystic pimples prematurely which causes a lot of scabs and scars on my face. Since using these Ikaria Beauty products I’ve noticed a more even skin tone (thank you retinol serum) and softer, healthier looking skin (thank you beauty balm and renewing youth elixir). These are also great products if you have sensitive skin like I do. Over-the-counter products tend to dry out my skin, which makes me itch like crazy…So on top of spending an hour in the bathroom messing with my face, I am adding unhealthy oils causing even more breakouts than normal.
Our skin is super important, so we should be using the right products to keep it looking young and healthy. If you are as obsessed with healthy-looking skin like I am, then I highly recommend you spoiling yourself by giving Ikaria Beauty a try. These products would also make a great gift for your beauty-loving friends and family. You deserve to be happy with the skin you’re in, so try Ikaria Beauty today…you won’t be disappointed!

My daughter is 12 years old and has been interested in art, crafts, and drawing for the past 5 years. It’s one of her favorite hobbies. She would rather sit down with art supplies and work on a new project than play a video game with her brother. I don’t have a creative bone in my body, so she gets all of her creativity from her Grandmother, Shelly.
