Niapads Acne Relief

Hello Everyone! I hope all of you are having a terrific day so far. Today, I want to talk to you about some wonderful new cleansing pads I came across. The Niapads by Saiom Technologies are great for getting rid of any stubborn pimples or oil residues. It is very unique and unlike any product I have seen for acne in quite awhile. Let's see exactly how it works...

Saiom Technologies Inc.

Saiom Technologies is the inventor of Niapads. Here is what the website says about the company:

I love that they offer earth-friendly products, and are dedicated to improving the quality of life for their consumers. I will be very interested to see how far Saiom Technologies Inc. will go, and what they will come out with next. 

The Product/My Thoughts

Each of these packets come with 30 pads. It says to take one pad and moisten it with water, then wet skin application area with water. Scrub application area gently with the moistened pad. Wait 20 to 30 seconds and rinse thoroughly with water.

According to the site...

"Niapads- Face cleansing pad with Niacinamide USP are designed to safely reduce Acne flare-ups by utilizing the well documented anti-inflammatory properties of Niacinamide USP. They also help diminish skin hyperpigmentation (acne scars).

Niapads is one-step process for opening clogged pores, exfoliation and getting rid of Acne causing bacteria. Skin friendly emollients help prevent drying of skin. It also contains Lavender oil which is well known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties; and yes it also provides a mild lavender scent."

To read more in depth about Niapads and the process you can go to their official site located here:

When I first received the Niapads, I was like wow, this is a small sample. Little did I realize inside it contains 30 pads. Now that's more like it (guess I should've read that on the back!). Immediately, I noticed the refreshing yet light Lavender smell of the pads. I had a couple of areas that needed clearing up, so I decided to try it on my whole face. Now, if you are using it for just a pimple or a couple of pimples than it's plenty big. However, just me personally I would of preferred a little bigger pad. 

Here is what they look like below:

I then proceeded to put it on my face, and left it on for about 30 seconds. I felt a slight tingling sensation, but nothing that bothered me. It was a good feeling, like it was cleaning my pores out. The next day, I significantly noticed my skin looked a bit clearer, in fact a lot clearer! By the second day the patches of acne were pretty much gone. If I had just let it do it's thing (and used my normal facial cleanser every night), it would of probably took close to a week. I was really impressed with these little pads, and how much power they have behind them. I love that they are made is the US. I also think they are 10X better than any of those facial cleansing pads they have in Walgreen's. Not to mention they are great if you travel, since the pouch is resealable. Overall, I would have to say besides being a little small they are a win win in my book. 

To Buy Niapads they currently run for $20 with free shipping on Amazon (includes 30 per pouch). You can purchase these by going here:

My Thoughts

When I first received this product, the first thing I immediately noticed was the packaging. I love the expensive top-of-the-line feel I get from it. The next thing I noticed is the blue color of the formula with the little dark blue microbeads. 

I then proceeded to wet my face with a wash cloth and then put the formula on. I used my finger's to gently massage in the formula, and could instantly feel almost like a breeze going over my skin as it cleaned it. 

I left it on my face for around 2 minutes (it say's 1-2 min.), because around the two minute mark I started feeling a warming feeling. It wasn't one of those feeling's you get if your allergic to something, but rather one of those warming feeling's like you get from a warming mask (a good example for me would be the biore mask). I however, had no redness at all, and once I started taking it off with the wash cloth I felt a nice cooling sensation.

You can really feel the mask work, and once you take it off you feel the effects even more. My skin was not only softer, but it felt hydrated. The closest thing I can compare the experience to, is this one time I had a mask done at the spa. It was up to that level of excellence. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought to myself, "Now, I can have that Microdermabrasion treatment without leaving my house, how cool!" haha. Might sound silly, but it's the truth. 

I've tried what companies call "Microdermabrasion Scrubs," but nothing with this strong or feeling as a real spa experience like this does. It will definitely be not only that go to experience for exfoliating my skin, (because this is what I need it for most) but my go to when I just want to relax. 

Overall Product Score: 4.8*

I also had the chance to try out a sample size of the Origins by Luxurience which I wanted to also quickly mention. It retails for $35.95 on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MHAOY2Q), and I think it is wonderful follow up product to go with the Erase Microdermabrasion Scrub, if your looking for a great anti-aging cream. I've had pretty good results with it so far. So, go check it out for yourself and for more information go here!  

I want to know! What do you think about Erase by Luxurience? Have you ever tried a Microdermabrasion Scrub? If not have you tried anything similar or gone to the spa? I love hearing your questions and comments. So, feel free to leave them below. 

Remember to Stay Beautiful, By Staying You! Until next time...

Ageless Derma Oil Free Purifying Facial Cleanser Gel Review

Hello Everyone! I hope all of you are doing well, and if not cheer up! I have faith that things will look up for you my dear. Today, we are talking about a company I have had the first time to have the pleasure of working with, Ageless Derma. We will be talking about their "Oil Free Purifying Facial Cleanser Gel," as seen above. First, before we get to the nitty gritty of what the product is all about, let's talk about the company.

Who is Ageless Derma?

According to their site...

"At Ageless Derma, we believe we are making something special happen. Our line of physician grade skincare products incorporate an  important philosophy: promoting overall skin health by delivering the most advanced biotechnology and natural  ingredients to all of the skin's layers. An attitude that still resonates with our founder, Dr. Farid Mostamand, today nearly ten years after he began his journey to provide the best skincare options for people who want to have healthy and beautiful looking skin at any age.

In 2004, Dr. Mostamand opened  Focus Medical Spa in Orange County, California. Offering a wide array of non-invasive procedures

Only two years later, the Spa saw the launch of DrSkinSpa.com, an online skincare retail store with over 4,000 physician-grade products

Through many conversations with clients worldwide, and as a result of his own ongoing scientific research while writing his book, Ageless Skin Obsession,  he came to realize that many skin care products were either entirely ineffective or performing well below expectations.

As a result of his efforts, a new physician-grade brand entered  the skincare arena in 2010, our very own Ageless Derma."

If you wish to learn more about their story or their products you can go here to read more.

I love their story, and I like that all of their products in their in their Anti Aging Skincare line is made with high amount of peptides, vitamins, as well as antioxidants. Helping to combat all sorts of skin conditions. 

I look forward to checking out their makeup line as well, which as I was reading is really wonderful for the skin, made with Vitamin A&E along with green tea extracts!

The Product/My Thoughts

"Oil Free Purifying  Natural Facial Cleanser Gel is an energizing cleansing product that freshens and can be used every day to deeply cleanse skin and pores.  This advanced formula will remove impurities and toxins that make skin dull-looking and aged. Make-up, grime and surface oils will be wiped clean as skin is prepared for the application of advanced treatments with other Ageless Derma products. This oil free cleanser gives your complexion a clean slate without stripping skin of the precious moisture it needs to retain."

It not only gives you a deep down clean but has quality ingredients in it. It has Organic Aloe Vera as well as Chamomile Extracts. I love how it felt on my skin and the way it foamed up. I won't name the cleanser I currently use, but I have been using this cleanser religiously for month's. Nothing has even come close....until NOW.

I have found many products that clean my skin deep and make my skin flake. Then I have found other's that barely clean my skin, and I end up having to get out a makeup wipe for. However, with this it doesn't strip my skin, and it gets everything off. It also washes off easy and has a very light smell. I feel that cleanser's don't need to be overpowering, and this is not like that. I am going out of town soon, and be up in the air about which face products I want to pack without packing a lot. This will defiantly be the one I pack, and not have any worries rather it will get the job done.

If you wish to buy this product it is $25, and you can purchase it on their main site located here: Ageless Derma.

Overall Product Score: 4.7*

I want to know! What do you think about Ageless Derma? Have you ever tried their products? If not, which product do you think you would enjoy the most? I love hearing your questions and comments below. So, feel free to leave them below. Remember you are BEAUTIFUL!

Derm Organic - Hair Care & Skin Care Review

Hello Everyone! I hope all of you are having a FANTASTIC day! Today, I want to discuss with you about a wonderful organic care line called Derm Organic. They make all sorts of products, from hair care to skin care. I received a variety of products, so I want to get into a little bit about each one. So get ready to open your ears and eyes, and let's see if Derm Organic has something to offer to change the way you think about your everyday routine...

Who Is Derm Organic?

At DermOrganic we believe the ingredients we don’t use are just as important as the ones we do.

"DermOrganic Laboratories, Inc. was founded in 1995 with a singular goal: To offer hair and skin professionals superior performing products that avoid, as much as possible, the harsh and synthetic ingredients found in standard cosmetic products. 

While the average person may use hair and skin products once a day, professional cosmetologists are exposed to them many times every day for an entire career! 

With that in mind, we based each DermOrganic formula around ingredients that replicate natural hair and skin nutrients, replenishing from the outside what they need inside for health and vitality. This includes cleansers made from EFA lipids and amino acids, conditioners derived from vegetable proteins, treatments and even styling items rich in natural moisture factors. Each time you use them they contribute essential nutrients vital to maintaining the long-term health of hair and skin." [The following information comes from Derm Organic's official website to find out more, you can locate this information here.]

I am truly impressed already. I like that not only are they organic, but they explain what their products are all about. To know that what I am putting on my body is not only safe, but rich in essential nutrients is a must have for me when choosing products to use.

The Products/My Thought's

SKINCARE:

All skincare products are: "FRAGRANCE-FREE - But with a clean fresh scent OIL-FREE - While preserving all the benefits of the Moroccan Argan fruit. YUZU EXTRACT - Rich in flavinoids, Vitamin C to help support delicate skin layers PLANT-BASED LIPIDS - Provide natural moisture skin needs OMEGA-6 & ANTIOXIDANTS - Protect from environmental degradation BOTANICOLLAGEN - Plant-derived extract supports skin layers to minimize the appearance of fine lines." 

Soapless Facial Cleanser

                                                                        -Soap-free, non-abrasive formula
                                                     -Strong enough to remove makeup
                                                       -Gentle enough for delicate eye area
                                                   -Imparts a fresh tight feel without dryness
                                       -Plant-based lipids moisturize and balance while cleansing
                                                      -Made with Argan extract of Morocco
                                                      -Rich in Omega-6 and Vitamins C&E
                                                 -With Yuzu fruit extract and BotaniCollagenTM
                                                           - Oil-free and fragrance-free 

This was my favorite product in the skincare line. I really enjoyed this cleanser, because it wasn't your normal type of cleanser. It has a very creamy and thick formula. I didn't have to use a lot in order to get a full coverage, unlike some of the thinner clear cleanser's. It also didn't dry my face out, in fact it did the opposite. I've never had a cleanser that gave me so much moisture, but at the same time gave me a deep clean feeling. It was also very gentle on my skin, and I think appropriate for any skin type (such as sensitive one's like myself).

PRICE: $6.99 - 2FL OZ or $25 - 8FL OZ

Facial Moisturizer

                                                                       -Softens and improves elasticity
                                                               -Minimizes fine lines
                                                        -Sheer formula absorbs quickly
                                                        -With plant-derived BotaniCollagen
                                                        -Made with Argan extract of Morocco
                                                    -Rich in Lipids, Omega-6 and Vitamins C & E
                                                            -With Yuzu fruit extract
                                                          -Oil-free and fragrance-free

A little bit of this truly goes a long way. It is really moisturizing and just what I need for my constant dry skin. Since using this, my face has felt smoother and clearer. I also love the light citrus scent of all the skincare products. I think this is another product that is really well made for all skin care types. I love using this as a makeup base, as well as putting it on at night before I go to bed. This gives the product maximum time for it to fully seep in. 

PRICE: $7.99 - 1FL OZ or $25 - 3.4FL OZ

Hand & Body Moisture Lotion

                                              -Hydrating cream for hand and body
                                  -Leaves skin feeling soft, clean and moisturized
                                          -Rich formula with a sheer application
                      -Glides on and absorbs quickly -Protects moisture balance

                                          -Made withArgan extract of Morocco
                                   -With Yuzu fruit extract and BotaniCollagenTM
                                                   -Oil-free and fragrance-free 


This hand and body lotion did not disappoint! It is fragrance free and not sticky and absorbs quickly. I have seen a dramatic improvement in the softness and smoothness of my skin. I also like how sheer it is, and the way it glides on. I like applying this right when  I get out the shower and my pores are open, to get the ultimate moisturizing affect out of it. 
PRICE: $6.99 - 2FL OZ or $25 - 12FL OZ

HAIRCARE:

Daily Conditioning Shampoo

-Gentle sulfate-free formula
-Safe for color-treated hair
-The shampoo made with facial cleansers!
-Revitalizes and enlivens
-Rich luxurious lather makes other sulfate-free shampoos jealous!
-Enriched with Omega-6, Panthenol B5, Rice Keratin and Antioxidants


I like this shampoo. It is really thick, but I like that because I don't have to use a lot of it to cover my SUPER long hair! Even a small bottle of it lasts a really long time. I was worried that it wouldn't but it does. So if your looking to try the haircare products out through a sampler pack and have long THICK hair like mine, it will be enough. I do not care for the smell, but I don't feel like it stays with my hair after I condition and dry it. All in all I would use/buy this again, my hair doesn't seemed dried out after continued use or gets use to it after just one use like some shampoo's. 
PRICE: $5.99 - 3FL OZ, $18 - 12FL OZ, or $35 - 33.8FL OZ

Intensive Hair Repair Masque

-Repairs damaged hair
-Smoothes and softens
-Strengthens and texturizes
-Makes hair manageable again
-Fortifies and improves elasticity
-Enriched with Omega-6, Antioxidants,Rice Keratin Amino Acids and Essential Lipids


I have such dry and brittle hair, but when I use the masque  it takes all of that away. It also improves the elasticity like it says. I love the smell of this masque as well. You can defiantly smell the Argan Oil in the formula. My hair has been smoother and softer, since I have been using it. 
PRICE: $6.99 - 3FL OZ, $18 - 8FL OZ, or $40 - 33.8FL OZ

Leave-In Argan Oil Treatment

- Adds incredible softness and shine 
- Protects hair from thermal damage 
- Speeds drying time up to 40% 
- Restores optimal moisture 
- Revitalizes and repairs 
- Seals cuticle & protects color
- Smoothes and softens
- Enriched with Omega-6, Lipids, Antioxidants, Vitamin E and Natural Moisture Factors 
- Made with Certified Argan Oil of Morocco

This was my favorite product in the haircare collection sampler. This just gave my hair the extra added moisture it needed. It made it super soft and super shiny! I never would of thought something in such a small package would have such a huge affect.  I also like that when I straighten my hair, it puts an added protection barrier around it. 

                                          PRICE: $9.99 - 1FL OZ or $25 - 4FL OZ

I want to know! What do you think about Derm Organic? Have you ever tried their products? If not, which one's do you think you would want to try? I love hearing your questions and comments below. So, feel free to leave them below.

Adovia - Natural Sulfur Soap

Hello Everyone! It's Friday!!! Before the weekend starts though, I want to talk to you about a company I have had the chance to review before. Adovia Mineral Skin Care makes many products, I have tried their Exfoliating Dead Facial Sea Salts, Mineral Eye Gel, as well as their Moisturizing Day Cream. All of them were wonderful products, my favorite being the Moisturizing Day Cream. This time I am reviewing another product by them called Natural Sulfur Soap.

Who Is Adovia?

"The first skin care line to combine Minerals with Herbal extracts to create a nutritious cocktail for your skin that keeps it healthy and beautiful from the inside out."

"Adovia is a unique skin care line, combining natural ingredients with modern science to formulate an effective blend of minerals and the finest herbal ingredients nature has to offer. The vital nutrients, anti-oxidants and minerals present in Adovia products are responsibly gathered at the place closest to the soul of Mother Earth - The Dead Sea."

What I also like about this company is that they use only the highest quality ingredients, and minerals from the Dead Sea as well as herbs and oils from all over the world. I was really impressed with all of the great reviews they have received on their products.

The Product/My Thoughts

(a picture of the soap has Adovia imprinted in the soap for those who can't see it)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

• - Adovia sulfur soap, is highly enriched with minerals and sulfur from the Dead Sea.
• - Your skin's natural moisture levels are balanced and optimized with Olive Oil, Dead Sea minerals and Aloe Vera extract.
• - Sulfur has Antiseptic, Anti-Fungal and Antibacterial properties
• - This soap thoroughly cleanses your face and body and leaves your skin gentle and smooth.
• - Our sulfur soap has a 3% sulfur content

MY REVIEW:

I have never in my life heard of "Sulfer Soap" so this was a new concept for me. I am willing to try anything that is good for my skin and may help it though. Immediately, when I took the soap out of the box the first thing I did was sniff it. I know this may seem strange, but I had wondered since I first ordered it rather or not it would smell like Sulfur. However, it smelled nothing like Sulfer and had a really nice fresh soapy scent instead. 

I tried it on my face as well as my body, both worked really well. However, I was most impressed with how it has worked for my face! 

I have been using it for a few days now, and have been really happy with the results so far. Let me first say how much I love the tingling I get all over my face, after washing with the soap. I am by no means a soap person, but found this product to be different, because it works so well with all parts of the body. I don't have a lot of problems with regular acne, but I do with blackheads. I significantly have noticed less of them, when I use this soap.

It is for all skin types, even with a dry skin type such as mine. While it doesn't dry out my face I would recommend to still continue to use a moisturizer if your skin is drying, because this will not help with that problem. I have to say for a bar of soap my expectations weren't high, but after using this soap I expect so much more from soaps now and was blown away!

Overall Product Score: 4.0*

There are products for everyone in this skin care line, if you haven't tried any of Adovia Mineral Skin Care Products you should give it a try! If you have tried their products before, let me know below what products you have tried. I love hearing your questions/comments so feel free to chat away! Until next time, remember to STAY BEAUTIFUL by always STAYING YOU. :)
