Organic Cosmetics Review: Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask

Today I want to show you another great skin care product I can't live without anymore: The Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask. Fridays are usually my "spa days" at home, where I just try to unwind, and restore my hard working body. Mani, pedi, a hot bubble bath... you name it.

So I was very happy I've got the chance to test the "Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask". I have known Valentia for a while now. If you are looking for a brand that believes in the power of nature and therefore treats nature with the utmost respect and care, THIS is the brand to go for. Inside every Valentia product you will find ingredients that are organic, natural, toxin- and paraben­-free, made using sustainable energy, vegan friendly, animal cruelty free, and made in the USA. Isn't that amazing?

   

   

Valentia's Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask is unlike any ordinary skin cleansing mask you might have been using up until now. It is a powerful antioxidant, and rich in natural ingredients that help repair your skin and to remove excess oils and dirt to keep your skin stronger, firmer and healthier.

Let's take a closer look at these natural ingredients and how they work on your skin:

CLEANSES & EXFOLIATES: Kaolin Clay works in this mask to effectively draw out impurities caused by the environment, leaving skin clean, clear, and smooth. 

POWERFUL NATURAL INGREDIENTS: Hibiscus & Cranberry fibers, Spirulina and Astaxanthin have all been chosen exclusively for Valentia Detoxifying Clay Mask because they increase collagen production, anti-aging properties, reduce free radicals and restore skin elastic for a tighter and smoother appearance. 

YOUNG & HEALTHY GLOW: CoQ10 is a key ingredient that reduces the appearance of wrinkles by stimulating collagen productions to reduce free radicals that can cause premature signs of aging. Smoothes out an uneven skin tone with astaxanthin, which is known to restore skin's natural elasticity so your skin looks and feels healthy. 

REDUCE SIGNS OF AGING: One of the main ways in which free radicals damage skin and cause premature aging is by attacking the skin and leaving it weak and loose. Valentia Detoxifying Clay Mask reverses that damage so the skin is firm and strong, leaving you looking stronger and healthier. 

SPA AT HOME: Pamper your skin with an expensive spa treatment right at home. Apply the clay mask and leave on for less than 15-20 minutes, grab your warm water and towel and wash gently off. Get the same deep cleanse and skin exfoliation the spa offers for less money and in the comfort of your home.

Overall the "Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask" is an awesome product I have NO shame talking you into buying. From scent, over texture and results, this is, hands down, my new go to face mask! You can order it here: Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask

And now for the obvious disclaimer: "I received these products complimentary from Valentia for testing purposes."

Yep. Free stuff for me to try and then review... because I'm Batman.

VoxBox Review: Pantene Pro-V Airspray

Two days ago I was the lucky recipient of the Pantene Pro-V Airspray VoxBox from Influenster. The first bummer: I opened my mailbox, and found a tiny little box in it. Since when is Influenster sending out trial size products? But ok, I put that thought aside, and opened the box. The bottle is super tiny indeed. I have very long hair, so it might be enough for about 1 week of styles, if that much.

Remember the CoverGirl Plumpify Mascara I got in another VoxBox, and I really couldn't find anything good about it? Well.... here we go again. And I have a feeling Influenster might stop selecting me for VoxBoxes. But hey, I review stuff, and put my honest opinion out there. Only because I get stuff sent to me for free, doesn't mean I have to praise it.

Here's what Pantene has to say about the Pro-V Airspray

The Pro-V Styler Series represents the gold standard in styling. Our products are formulated to expertly care for your hair, whatever style you desire. With a range of products that span different levels of hold, there is an ideal Pro-V Styler for you.

• Pantene Pro-V Airspray Hairspray features:

• Ultra lightweight alcohol-free formula for a healthier hairspray

• Level 2 flexible hold for a smooth finish with body and bounce

• Use with Pantene shampoo and conditioner

• One 7 oz aerosol can

Here's what I have to say about it

1. The Scent

It smells like your average hair spray. Nothing special! And even though it says "Alcohol Free", it does smell as if there is alcohol in it. Have you ever been at the hair salon with your grandma? Where all the silver-blue-is haired ladies are sitting next to each other? Those oldschool hair salons? That's whet the smell reminds me of.

2. Let the spray begin

I first thought something is wrong with the nozzle, cause it felt as if there is a whole lot of spray coming out. Like, too much. I enhanced the spray distance, but the second it hit my hair, it felt heavy, and my hair just felt like one sticky mess.
Pro: you can easily brush it out.
But - do I want to brush out the hairspray I just applied right away? Usually you put it on there for a reason.

I will definitely not use it again. It has a heavy texture and makes my hair look felted and blah.

Trust Your Gut Feeling again!

“All disease begins in the gut.” - Hippocrates

And he was right. Did you know that your digestive system dictates whether you're sick or not? About 90% of your body's genetic material is owned by bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that compose your microflora. On the other hand, gut health can also impact your mood and mental health in positive ways! So you really have to take good care of your gut.

Taking probiotics is crucial for a healthy digestive system. I've got the chance to test the New Limited Advanced Strength Ultra Probiotic 50 Billion CFU.
