Inlight Beauty Neck Firming Serum

Inlight Beauty released this firming and smoothing serum as part of their Summer collection. Made from a powerful botanical complex, the fast-absorbing and lightweight serum helps to prevent and correct signs of aging ( lack of firmness, wrinkles, lines, etc).

The neck firming serum is 100% organic and designed to smooth and tone thinner skin on the neck and decollete. Suitable for all skin types, this neck treatment also fights the harmful effects of blue light on the skin and creasing due to poor posture.

The Neck Firming Serum has below key ingredients:

• CACAY OIL: This natural form of retinol helps fight aging ( vitamin A).
• VITAMIN E & GRAPESEED OIL: Rich in antioxidants, these actives help brighten and protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays.
• BIO LIPOPHILIC MATRIX®: Made from a blend of organic, cold-pressed plant oils. This active energizes the skin cells using a patented technique exclusive to Inligt Beauty. This means the oil's properties are boosted and leave a glorious glow to the skin.

The neck-firming serum is the perfect protection for those often exposed to blue light from screens. Since using this serum, I have noticed that my neck and lower jaw are tighter and firm. The skin looks healthy, and it helps to prevent wrinkles. One of the easiest ways to tell a person's age is by looking at their hands or neck, so taking care of them should not be overlooked. I love this serum's scent; it is fresh and smells of juniper and cypress.

Inlight Beauty Floral Tonic

Instantly refreshing and soothing, this flower-infused water tonic is perfect for finishing your skin cleansing routine. Made from a non-oil base and alcohol-free, the floral tonic suits all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone.

The floral tonic has an uplifting and astringent action on the skin, leaving it cleansed, toned, and ready for the following skincare products. Infused with Roman Chamomile and Rose Damascena, the 100% organic tonic lotion helps rebalance the skin's natural pH levels. Humidify a cotton pad (reusable if possible) with a couple of tonic drops and gently swipe across the face. The tonic lotion can be used daily or is also great for removing face masks.

Floral tonic water is an excellent alternative to typical lotions. Since using this tonic after cleansing my skin, I can see an improvement in my skin texture and comfort. The tonic smells divine and always boosts my mood in the morning. Overall, the lotion works great on all skin types; my family can't get enough of it!

True Botanicals Chebula Active Serum

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

If the name of this active is ringing bells in your head, it may be because it is one of nature's well-known superfruits!

Amazingly versatile, this superfruit is used in Ayurvedic skincare to prevent and correct the harmful effects of free radicals. The anti-aging serum is rich in antioxidants which protect the skin by absorbing free radicals and transforming them into another form.

It is paired with hyaluronic acid, elderberry extract, echinacea, and ginger to boost texture-improving hydration. As a result, the Chebula serum has a powerful anti-aging action that fights visible signs of aging and strengthens the skin's natural barrier. Also, it is one of the most antioxidant serums and delivers a deep anti-aging action to the skin. Over time the skin becomes firmer, and thus, fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed.

What Do Free Radicals Do To The Skin?

The sun's rays and other light sources expose us to free radicals daily. These harmful particles are the cause of premature skin aging.

As they penetrate the skin, they modify and harm healthy cells, thus creating inflammation. So what does this do to the skin over time?

• First up, they target our skin's hydration. Reducing the capacity to retain moisture.
• Second, they ruin our skin barrier function. Thus, it results in poor cell exchange and less oxygen and nutrients.
• Lastly, our Collagen cells are destroyed over time. This results in a loss of density and strength in the skin.

True Botanicals Vitamin C Booster

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

Another best-seller from Truebotanicals, this potent vitamin C treatment offers an immediate brightening action to the skin, reducing the appearance of dark spots.

The formula has two powerful actives: Vitamin C and ferulic acid. When combined, the skin-perfecting actives help boost your natural skin cell turnover. By eliminating excess dead skin cells and impurities on the surface, the skin becomes even-toned and brighter-looking over time. The Vitamin C booster is a fine powder you can add to any water-based serums or moisturizers for an immediate luminous touch.

Psst: Did you know that placing the Vitamin in a powder form is the most stable way to preserve it?

True Botanicals Skin Barrier Sun Shield SPF 30

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

Do you want to protect your skin from the sun without the breakouts? Then this mineral sunscreen is the way to go.

The skin barrier sun shield is a broadspectrum sunscreen enriched with anti-aging skincare. The coconut-based formula protects the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays without using toxins and pore-clogging waxes. Moreover, this lightweight formula makes it suitable for most skin types and super fast to absorb.

The sun shield is rich in peptides originating from Chebula and vegan peas. These peptides help fight visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, and even out the skin texture. The skin barrier sun shield is an excellent sunscreen with skincare actives that help minimize sun exposure's effects.

Also, exclusive to the USA, this unbelievable sunscreen will have you wondering where it was all of your life.

Do You Know What Broad Spectrum Means?

The term “broad spectrum” confirms that the sunscreen protects you from both types of sun rays, UVA and UVB. Dermatologists mostly recommend using a broadspectrum SPF 30 daily.

• UVA rays are responsible for premature aging in the skin.
• UVB rays are more powerful and put you at risk of sunburns and, over time, skin cancer.

Now that you know the harmful effects of the sun, it is time to start protecting yourself. Thus, by purchasing the beauty heroes July box, you can discover their range of sun-protective products and give your skin a well-earned rest!

Leahlani Aqua A Retinoid Renewing Serum

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

The quest for youthful and radiant skin never ends. We have products like Aqua A Retinoid Renewing Serum that make that journey a little easier. This powerful serum features hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR), a unique form of retinoid that provides immediate results without causing the irritation and sensitivity often associated with other retinoids.

Aqua A is designed to boost cellular turnover and decrease the appearance of UV-induced skin damage, plump ceramides, and support and strengthen the skin barrier. The amino acid-rich blend of spirulina and green caviar oil helps to condition and revitalize the skin, decreasing signs of inflammation.

This serum is simple to use. Just shake the bottle before using it to experience the blue hue that gives Aqua A its name. Once a day, add a few drops to your skincare routine, and you'll start to notice a difference in your skin's appearance and feel.

Aqua A Retinoid Renewing Serum is a hero product that delivers real results. Whether you're looking to reduce the appearance of UV-induced skin damage or revitalize your skin, this serum is worth a try. Make sure to apply sunscreen every day on the exposed areas.

Leahlani Pampelmousse Cleanser

Use code VELVET15 for 15% off

When it comes to skincare, a good cleanser is essential. That's why we love Pampelmousse Cleanser, a skin-brightening emulsifying oil that transforms into a milky lather. Macadamia oil is the base of this cleanser, delivering skin-mimicking moisture and antioxidant protection, while sunflower oil offers a lightweight texture that emulsifies when exposed to water.

The pineapple and papaya enzymes in Pampelmousse gently break down pore-clogging proteins, helping to brighten and refine the skin's texture. Guava and plumeria also provide antioxidants, leaving the skin soft and healthy.

Pampelmousse is a great aide to have in your skincare routine. Whether you're looking to dissolve oil, lift makeup, or rinse away impurities, this cleanser will leave your skin feeling bright, refreshed, and ready for the day ahead.

About Innersense Organic Beauty

Innersense is a new organic beauty brand shaking up the industry with its ingredient transparency and safe cosmetics practices. The company was founded in response to the Truth in Labeling Acts, which require all cosmetic products to list their ingredients on the label. This makes it easy for consumers to see what's in their products and avoid harmful chemicals.

Beauty Heroes Box

There's a lot of talk about finding your hair care products. But what does that mean? Is there a certain way in which you can find them?

The October Discovery is all about helping you find the right Innersense products for your hair type and texture. From scalp treatments to strand-specific masques, you can get something for starting your hair care journey with an excellent opportunity to discover something new from the beauty hero box.

Hair is one of the most important aspects of beauty, and it's essential to take care of it properly. This month, Innersense, a brand that makes haircare rituals easy and elevates the everyday routine of ‘wash, rinse, repeat, has incorporated four hair care products into your routine.

In one box, Innersense has four full-size innovative hair care products to make your life easier:

• True Enlightenment Scalp Scrub
• Detox Hair Mask
• Hydrating Hair Mask
• I Create Shine

Innersense True Enlightenment Scalp Scrub

There's nothing quite like the feeling of freshly scrubbed hair. But scalp scrubs can often leave your hair feeling dry and stripped. That's why we love Beauty Heroes Box's True Enlightenment Scalp Scrub.

This 6.7 oz scrub is enriched with apple extract to help purify the scalp, healthful ingredients like peppermint oil to stimulate blood flow, and mineral-rich Hawaiian red salt to soothe and balance the skin. Plus, it features softness and shines thanks to celery seed extract. Finally, it's formulated with a gentle enough pH level to be used on all scalps (including those with sensitive skin).

Innersense Detox Hair Mask

There's something satisfying about taking care of yourself. It's a way of showing yourself that you matter and are worth taking the time for. When you try to detox your hair, you're sending a message to yourself that you deserve to feel good – and look good too.

This Detox Hair Mask is made with kaolin clay and active charcoal, two powerful ingredients that work together to remove buildup and impurities from your scalp and hair gently. Certified organic white vinegar helps to remove dirt and toxins, leaving your hair feeling clean and refreshed.

Use this mask once or twice weekly as part of your regular self-care routine.

You'll notice a difference in how your hair looks and feels – and you'll feel good knowing that you're taking care of yourself in the best way possible.

Innersense Hydrating Hair Mask

Hydrating hair masks are an essential part of any good hair care routine. They help to repair damaged hair, replenish essential moisture, and revitalize dry, dull hair. This mask is made with hydrolyzed quinoa, which is packed with protein and helps to repair damaged hair.

Shea butter and tamanu oil are excellent sources of antioxidants and help to protect the hair from free radical damage. Coconut oil and flaxseed oil help to replenish essential moisture in the hair, while intensive treatment masks help to condition the hair deeply. By using this mask every week, you'll be able to improve your hair's texture, shine, and resilience.

Innersense I Create Shine

There's something about shine that makes you feel good. Knowing that your hair looks its best is like a little extra confidence. And while there are plenty of products out there that promise to give you shine, not all of them live up to the hype. But I Create Shine 50 ml is different.

This silicone-free finishing treatment contains macadamia oil, sunflower oil, sesame oils, and cranberry seed oil – all of which work together to create an invisible seal that safeguards against UV damage and smooth frizz. Plus, it gives your hair a brilliant shine without weighing it down. So, if you're looking for a product that will help you maximize radiance, I Create Shine 50 ml is worth trying.

And best of all, every Discovery Box comes with a bonus sample packet of Innersense Pure Harmony Hairbath and Pure Inspiration Conditioner – two of the brand's best-selling products.

For last month's discovery, I shared it here. The masks from Blüh Alchemy Skincare are a new staple in my skincare routine.

About Blüh Alchemy

The potent formulas of BRAND Blüh Alchemy result from founder Beck Blüh's love of and experiments with rare botanicals to produce a synergistic, treatment-focused skincare line. Each Blüh Alchemy formula delivers the blühprint for achieving optimal skin health, helping to prevent premature ageing and shielding skin from environmental aggressors and oxidative stress.

Vital Moisture Mask

It is the hero product from the brand. This moisture mask is the perfect choice for deep, thorough hydration. It hydrates the skin deeply, along with several essential nutrients.

Vitamin A, C and K are some important elements in the mask. Beta-carotene and alpha-tocopherol, along with Fatty acids Omega 3,6 and 9, make this mask highly beneficial for the skin. It also has an exclusive ingredient, Queen Garnet Plum.

My Experience

I had a lot of damage from the sun, and no matter how much moisturizer I applied, my skin always looked dehydrated.

I used this mask few times before writing this review, and it seems like I have new skin. It has become healthier, and the hydration lasts long, even in cold weather. I used it with the super fruit AHA BHA resurfacing mask, which works as a gentle exfoliator. Even after being in the sun all day, my skin did not look dull or dry at the end of the day. This product has been a life saved for me, making my skin look younger.

Superfruit AHA+BHA Resurfacing Mask

This aquamarine mask also consists of cellular extracts with the goodness of fruity acids like pineapple and papaya. The power and purity of all the ingredients are preserved in the mask, making it a gentle exfoliator and potent enough to reduce pigmentation.

My Experience

I bought it along with the vital moisturizing mask. In a week, I used it three times, and my skin started showing signs of improvement.

I had a lot of pigmentation and discolouration patches on my skin. I could not use make-up to hide them due to my sensitive skin, which lowered my confidence. After using this mask, my skin became even toned and looked brighter. It took a month for the depigmentation to lighten enough that it was nearly invisible. My skin also became smoother and more resistant to inflammation.
