It’s hard to believe, but fall is right around the corner, despite the hot weather many of us are still enjoying! I actually love the fall—the crisp weather, the pumpkin flavored overload and the beautiful fall colors. As your summer tan fades, you’ll definitely want 

Refresh and Revive your Skin with Osmosis Lift Away Cleansing Balm

Refresh and Revive your Skin with Osmosis Lift Away Cleansing Balm

You would think that summer would be a relaxing time, but I feel like I’m even busier than ever and I definitely look forward to winding down at the end of the day. The list goes something like this. Heels off? Check! Hair in a ponytail? Check. Wine glass filled? Check. Make up off? Check! I love coming home and not only clearing my mind, but clearing my face as well. I’ve been using a fantastic product from Osmosis Skincare called Lift Away Cleansing Balm. Just the name sounds like it will make your whole day better, doesn’t it?

Cleansing Balms are a refreshing and easy way to rinse the day away and combat dry skin. Osmosis Skincare recently launched Lift Away Cleansing Balm, which is a lightweight, non-foaming cleanser that absorbs into the skin to dissolve makeup and impurities while detoxifying pores.

I’m definitely a fan of this product and of the company too. I’ve reviewed several of the Osmosis products and am always impressed by the quality and how my skin looks and feels. This product falls right in line with those other beauty essentials in their line that I use on a regular basis.

Osmosis Lift Away Cleansing Balm

Not only does the Lift Away Cleansing Balm feel great on your skin, but it also refines your complexion while maintaining barrier health with ingredients like mangosteen, elderberry fruit juices and avocado oil. These ingredients will give your skin a gorgeous glow and will increase moisture to keep your skin soft and hydrated. This product also helps with breakouts, which I need in my life. Always.

This cleansing balm can do so much good in such a short amount of time. It’s never too late to introduce a new product into your routine. Especially when it contains such beneficial ingredients. Here’s a little more on those unique ingredients:

* Mangosteen – Containing natural antibacterial properties, this super-fruit helps clear and prevent acne as it cleanses the skin of environmental toxins and debris. It is also rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties to promote healing and repair of skin cells and prevent free-radical damage.

* Elderberry Fruit Juice – Holds extremely high levels of bioflavonoids to enhance the skin’s immune function as well as provide antioxidant protection. It also plays the role of a natural detoxifier, helping to defend the skin against environmental stressors that can cause wrinkles and age spots.

* Avocado Oil – A powerful dose of protein and fatty acids to heal and regenerate the skin back to a healthy, youthful state. Who doesn’t love avocado?

I’ve been using this product every night. Simply apply to damp hands and massage into your face using your fingertips. Rinse thoroughly with warm water or with a towel.

Kiss Chapped Dry Lips Goodbye with Mangiacotti’s Mini Lip Repair

Let’s talk about chapped, dry lips, shall we? I am obsessed with keeping my lips moisturized and not just in the dry, winter months. I also keep my lips hydrated during the summer too, which is just as important. I always keep some kind of

Ivy Nicole Natural Remedies Handmade Honey Face Wash

Ivy Nicole Natural Remedies Handmade Honey Face Wash

The bedtime routine—we all have them and I’m sure they vary. Some of us like to have some sleepy time tea, read a little or wind down with a bath. The thing we ALL should be doing every single night is washing our faces. “Taking off the day,” is an important part of a healthy skin care routine and one that should not be ignored. Cleansing your face every night helps to prevent breakouts, remove buildup from the day and it keeps our sheets fresh and clean.

I recently learned about a wonderful little company called Ivy Nicole Natural Remedies, which produces handmade products for healthy, happy skin. Ivy Nicole Natural Remedies was created by Nicole Cavalea in 2017. As a busy mom, wife, and certified hatha yoga instructor, Nicole followed her passion for natural health to create incredible beauty and wellness remedies. All of her products are handmade containing only natural ingredients.

Ivy Nicole Natural Remedies Honey Face Wash

I have been using the Ivy Nicole Natural Remedies Honey Face Wash, which is gentle enough for all skin and contains the following ingredients:

• Coconut oil – The rich fatty acids in the coconut oil leave your skin feeling smooth, soft and silky.
• Raw honey – It acts as a natural antiseptic that easily removes bacteria from the skin, leaving your skin feeling clean and refreshed.
• Lavender – Not only does it have a relaxing scent (think spa day), but it is also provides healing and repair to the skin.
• Olive oil – Perfect for fighting environmental factors and softening the skin.
• Castor oil – It acts as a natural moisturizer and promotes healing.

I’ve been using this product for the last week or so and really like how it makes my skin feel and look. It has a light, pleasant smell and washes off easily. I love that it is handmade with natural ingredients as I prefer to use products that are free of synthetic chemicals, preservatives, or unfamiliar ingredients. I want to use something on my skin that I’m confident isn’t harmful to me or the environment.

Simply use the Honey Face Wash each night before bed for glowing, refreshed skin. Rinse your face with warm water and apply a small amount of the product in a circular motion for about 30 seconds. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and be sure to apply moisturizer afterwards to keep your skin hydrated while you sleep. The Honey Face Wash is available on Etsy via the Ivy Nicole Natural Remedies website and is incredibly affordable at $12.
