Red Rover Naturals Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil Review

There are many good reasons to have tea tree oil on hand in your home, since it has so many uses. It has been used for centuries for its medicinal, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties. As far as skin and hair care is concerned, it’s great for dandruff control, scalp acne, and as a lice treatment. My latest discovery is Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil from Red Rover Naturals.

Tea tree oil comes from the leaves of the melaleuca alternifolia plant, which is native to Australia. It is an essential oil that can be used alone or as an ingredient in shampoos, soaps, and creams. 

About Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil

This brand of tea tree oil is 100% pure Australian tea tree oil. It comes in a large, 4oz bottle, which I love because tea tree oil has so many uses and with the bigger size I don’t have to worry about running out so fast.

The company also provides a free guide, which comes as a downloadable e-book with recipes for using the oil. I love this because, although I’ve known that tea tree oil has lots of uses, this book is pretty handy.

Uses

Uses for tea tree oil are many. I’ve found that it makes a good scalp treatment to combat oiliness, acne, and dandruff on the scalp. Tea tree oil cleanses and disinfects the skin, helping to get rid of bacteria and keep pores clear. To use tea tree oil for dandruff or scalp acne you can apply it as a scalp treatment. Massage a few drops directly to the scalp, before shampooing. The oil can be used full strength or diluted with oil, like jojoba or coconut oil. Let it sit on you scalp for 10-15 minutes, then wash. You can also add a few drops to your shampoo or buy shampoo that contains tea tree oil.

It also can be used to treat acne on the face and to treat fungal infections, plus so many more uses that I have not tried, yet. I’ve read that it can be an effective lice treatment, as an alternative to chemical laden commercial lice shampoos.

Adovia Facial Moisturizing Day Cream Review

I use facial moisturizer each morning and night as part of my daily skincare routine. Lately I’ve been using a rich and creamy facial moisturizer made by Adovia Mineral Skin Care.  Adovia Moisturizing Day Cream is infused with Dead Sea minerals, aloe vera, and natural oils to moisturize skin and help it retain natural moisture. It is dermatologist tested and approved, and is not supposed to clog pores.

Although Adovia facial moisturizer is thick and rich, it isn’t greasy and my skin seems to soak it in quickly. I really like its firming action and long-lasting moisture. My skin feels firmer and softer after using it. Since it is so thick, my makeup had a harder time going on smooth and evenly, if I used the moisturizer right before putting on makeup. I learned to wait a while before trying to put makeup on.

I did get complimented on how good my complexion looked, while using this moisturizer, which felt great to know that apparently others noticed. Adovia Moisturizing Day Cream is available through amazon.com. It comes in a glass jar, giving it a luxurious look and feel.

I love natural skincare products with simple ingredients. Unrefined Shea Butter is one natural moisturizer that I really like. I’ve tried several skincare products from Adovia and recently used their Shea Butter. This Cleopatra’s Choice brand Shea butter from Adovia is pure, raw, and unrefined. It is good used by itself or it can be mixed into recipes for DIY skincare. Some people even use it as a hair conditioner.

It has many uses, including uses on skin and hair. Relieves dry skin, psoriasis dryness, eczema, and helps to lessen the appearance of stretch marks.

Before trying this product, I had never used straight Shea butter, although I’ve used many lotions and body butters that include it as an ingredient. I’ve really come to appreciate Shea butter after this experience. It’s wonderful! I love it because it provides deep, long-lasting moisturizing. I used it on my body, my dry especially loved it. It is gentle and many skin types can benefit. I can’t wait to use it this winter, when my skin suffers from the cold temperatures.

To use the pure Shea butter as a body cream: get a small amount in your hand and rub it back and forth to soften it. You don’t need much. After it heats up in your hands it is easy to massage in wherever you want to apply it. At first it feels somewhat oily, but it absorbs in a few minutes and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.

Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream Review

Since I have battled darkness and puffiness around my eyes for most of my life, I appreciate anything that helps my eye area look its best. I recently had the opportunity to review an eye cream by Body Merry, so for the past few weeks I’ve been putting it to the test.

 About Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream

Body Merry  uses natural ingredients and avoids harsh chemicals. So, their eye cream does not contain any parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. It is also cruelty-free.
The eye cream claims to be a comprehensive solution for dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness, fine lines, crow’s feet, and dryness. It is gentle, having been designed with the delicate eye area in mind.

It is full of beneficial ingredients, which include: vitamins C and E, vitamin B5, peptide complex, amino acid emulsification, hyaluronic acid, retinol, aloe, cucumber, green tea, lavender, calendula, chamomile, witch hazel, glycolic acid, MSM, cocoa butter, bearberry, blueberry, Oregon grape, eyebright, coenzyme Q10, lemon grass, apple, sugarcane, and several plant-based oils.

My Thoughts

The first thing that I noticed about Body Merry eye cream is that it smells great. I fell in love with the sweet scent, which I really can’t describe exactly what it smells like, but it reminds me of something from my childhood.

To use the product, you are supposed to dab a small amount gently around the eyes. Inevitably I keep being a bit heavy handed when I use the pump, and I end up getting a generous amount, which is more than enough for my eye area so I usually end up applying it to my whole face because I have extra.

Does it help my eyes appear less dark or puffy? I’ve been using the product for a month, hoping to see some results after accumulated use. Honestly, I haven’t seen any difference in the dark circles under my eyes. This is a good moisturizer and does help keep my skin hydrated. It does feel good on my skin, making it smoother and giving it a little more firmness. It did help to subtly minimize some puffiness.

Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream is available through Amazon and comes with a 90 day guarantee.
