Glowing skin with Adovia Purifying Mud Mask

Mud Masks are my favorite way of not only relaxing at home, but also getting my skin to glow!  It is important when using masks to use one with great ingredients so that your skin gets more than the regular benefits.  Adovia comes at you with their Purifying Dead Sea Mud Mask...check it out!



Adovia's Purifying Mud Mask comes to you in a very generous squeeze tube containing 150 ml/5.1fl.oz of product.  This mask retails for $13.95 USD on Amazon.com.

Adovia Purifying Mud Mask
"Adovia's unique Purifying Mud Mask is formulated with Dead Sea Black Mud, Beeswax, and a deeply moisturizing combination of Jojoba Oil, Evening Primrose Oil and Olive Oil.  This mask boosts cell renewal and revitalizes your skin, while tightening your pores.  As the mask dries, it gently pulls out toxins and impurities known to clog pores and cause visible signs of aging.  The presence of Dead Sea mud infuses your skin with needed minerals while firming it and improving elasticity .  Aloe Vera and Chamomile extracts soothe and calm your skin while  Vitamins A and C leave it looking fresh and renewed." - Adovia Mineral Skin Care


"The Dead Sea Facial Mask by Adovia:
* Pulls out toxins and unclogs pores so your skin can breathe and rejuvenate naturally
* Pulls out excess oil while putting in much needed essential minerals from the Dead Sea
* 100% Natural, Paraben Free, No added fragrance or color
* Improves your complexion by reducing blackheads, acne blemishes, and the appearance of acne
* Supplies nutrients to maintain elasticity and a soft, even texture
* Helps with oily skin, acne treatment, blackheads, blemishes, Psoriasis, Eczema" - Adovia Mineral Skin Care


Prior to using the mask, I cleansed my face with a normal cream facial cleanser.  I have combo oily skin and the occasional breakout.  I have issues with tone, texture and oily tzone.


The mask itself looks like  a regular mud mask when it comes out of the tube.  Once applied to the skin, you notice how different it is from other masks.  Adovia's Purifying Mud Mask feels like a legitimate balm.  The texture is pretty unreal from all other masks I have used!!!  It spreads nicely on the face and since it is very much like a balm, you do not need much for this to work.  After you apply a thin layer, you let it dry.  Once dry, rinse off with lukewarm water.  Again, here is where this mask differs from others.  You will feel small particles in the mask...so when you rinse it off, you also get a mild exfoliation from it as well!  Purifying and exfoliating at the same time?  I am SOLD!


Here, after application and cleansing, skin is more even, refreshed and less oily.  I have been using this mask once a week for almost a month and a half and I am loving my skin.  The combination of purifying mask and exfoliator really do leave the skin glowing, plump and soft.  This has also been super beneficial at curbing minor breakouts and texture changes due to the warmer weather coming up.

Radiant skin with InstaNatural Skincare Hyaluronic Acid Serum and more - review

*DISCLAIMER - Products sent by company for purposes of testing/review.  I was not monetarily compensated for my review.  All opinions are my own.*  *POWERED BY BRANDBACKER*

InstaNatural Skincare
With winter upon us, I decided to change up my skincare routine to add some power products to punch up my defenses during these cold and dry months.  This is where InstaNatural comes in.  InstaNatural is a company committed to bringing you products that are organic and pure, without the use of parabens, harmful alcohols or sulfates.  They produce a wide range of products for skin, hair, body and even supplements!  Here, I have three of their most powerful players...

InstaNatural Skincare Line
Above - Hyaluronic Acid Serum (2oz) glass container, dropper delivery
              Youth Express Eye Gel (1.7oz) plastic container, pump delivery
              Pore Tightening Vitamin C Facial Toner (4oz) plastic container, spray pump delivery

InstaNatural Hyraluronic Acid Serum
You had me at the word serum.  There is an otherworldly love I feel for serums.  I find them to be an extremely essential part of any skincare regime.  "InstaNatural's Hyaluronic Acid Serum contains Hyaluronic Acid along with a perfect blend of antioxidants, such as Vitamin C + Jojoba Oil + Green Tea.  With a capacity to sustain up to 1000 times its weight in water, Hyaluronic Acid is a great natural hydrator by helping the skin to retain moisture." - InstaNatural

The first unique feature of this serum is that it has some heft.  The serum is on the thicker side, but melts into the skin beautifully.  What I love is how plump my skin looks afterwards.  Hyaluronic Acid Serum quickly sinks into the skin and I did not experience any film or stickiness on my face afterwards.  There is a slight herbal scent that is quite apparent upon first application, but fades once serum melded with the skin.  I have been left with skin that looks and feels plump, is very smooth and I cannot wait to see what this will do for my fine lines after continued use!

Find this quickly on Amazon.com HERE.  To see ingredients, benefits and more, visit InstaNatural HERE.

InstaNatural Youth Express Eye Gel
"Youth Express Eye Gel provides absolute care to the eye area.  It is enriched with plant stem cells, Hyaluronic Acid, Matrixyl 3000, Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil to help with dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness and sagging skin.  This blend of powerful ingredients increases elasticity and enhances the tone of your skin to provide a firm, plump appearance."  - InstaNatural

This is not your basic eye gel.  This gel has a fantastic texture that is that of a gel and bouncy cream.  
Youth Express is cooling upon application, which has helped decrease puffiness, but its thick texture helps to not only moisturize but plump up my undereye area.  Once blended onto the skin, the gel never feels wet...it is almost creamy.  There is a few seconds of a dry down time that this needs, but once you pass that, you have a plumped, refreshed, soft undereye area that looks more alive.  This does have a slight scent, not at all chemical, but fades within seconds of application.

InstaNatural Pore Tightening Vitamin C Facial Toner
Another integral part of any skincare routine is a toner.  For someone like me with combination/oily skin, it is essential in maintaining balance for my skin.  "Pore Tightening Vitamin C Facial Toner is an all-in-one hydrator infused with anti-aging ingredients to leave your skin feeling refreshed and balanced with each pump of its formula.  Vitamin C in the mist helps renew skin by neutralizing free radicals and UV-related damage to protect and strengthen the epidermis.  Witch Hazel's astringent properties purify oily skin and tighten pores, all while the sulfur drives deep penetration of these ingredients to increase skin elasticity.  With each spray, your face is restored to natural pH levels and is in prime condition to absorb serums and moisturizers effectively." - InstaNatural

 This facial toner comes in a pump bottle and is refreshing way to start your skincare.  This has a strong scent of orange zest upon application which does fade after a few seconds.  Once absorbed, I was left film free and ready for my serum and moisturizer.  This has been a godsend now as we are in winter.  I find myself reaching for this for an extra boost under and over the rest of my skincare, as well as an additional step in my makeup application.  This tones down any overly powdery look.  I really like how this did not make me oily and only added a pretty, subtle glow!

InstaNatural's products are available on Amazon.com, and various spas around the US!  To learn more about this company and their commitment to healthier skin, go HERE.
