InstaNatural Facial Oil Cleanser Review

I am very meticulous when it comes to washing my face and removing my makeup before going to bed. I have skin than ranges from oily to dry in patches, and much depends on the products I use. I’ve heard of oil cleansing before and shrugged it off as being something that is not for me because I feared getting greasy skin and breaking out. I was given a bottle of InstaNatural Facial Oil Cleanser and Makeup Remover, and I figured I try it out.

InstaNatural Facial Oil Cleanser and Makeup Remover helps to lift dirt and remove impurities without removing the skin’s natural oils. It contains jojoba oil, olive oil, tamanu oil, hemp oil, passionflower, buckthorn oil, and wheat germ oil, with lavender, pink grapefruit, and geranium essential oils. It’s gentle and helps to get rid of makeup and dirt. To use this facial cleansing oil squirt some oil on cotton ball or cotton pad and gently wipe over your face. Then rinse your face with warm water and pat dry.

It has a great citrus-like scent. This oil is a perfect eye makeup remover. It gently gets mascara, eyeliner, and concealer off. I like using it at bedtime to remove my makeup, and it’s great all over my face, even though I didn’t think it would be. It is not as greasy, as I thought it would be, if I use only a small amount. Besides, I rinse with warm water and dry my face afterwards, which cuts down the oiliness. I wake up with nice, smooth skin when I’ve used it the night before.

As with all of InstaNatural’s products, it is available on amazon.com with a money back guarantee if you aren’t satisfied.

InstaNatural Cellulite Cream Review

I’ve battled cellulite for years, and I was happy to have a chance to use InstaNatural Cellulite Cream.

It is full of awesome ingredients, like retinol, caffeine, vitamin C & B5, cocoa butter, and shear butter. It also has green tea, vitamin E, and avocado oil. All these ingredients are supposed to work together to tighten and tone skin, reducing the appearance of cellulite. It is a thick, rich cream that soaks in the skin quickly to get to work. It doesn’t have any greasy feeling.

After regular use for about a month, my skin feels smoother and firmer. InstaNatural Cellulite Cream is a great moisturizer and leaves skin feeling great. I still have cellulite, but hopefully it is less noticeable. My problem areas feel better and more toned. I suspect I always will have cellulite and that it is beyond any cream to be able to make it completely disappear.

InstaNatural Cellulite Cream is available on Amazon.com with a money back guarantee, if you’re not satisfied.

InstaNatural Dead Sea Facial Mask and Argan Oil Hair Mask Review

Put your feet up, turn your phone off, turn on some calm music, and put on a facial mask and conditioning hair mask for a little time out. InstaNatural has two great masks for this awesome at-home spa experience.

Dead Sea Mud Mask

 A Dead Sea mask helps to detoxify the skin, removing dirt and oil, to keep skin clear. Using a mask once, a week or a couple times a month, depending on the needs of the skin, can be beneficial to your complexion. The Dead Sea contains has a high mineral content, with many minerals that benefit the skin.

The InstaNatural Dead Sea Mud Mask provides or helps to:

•     Removes excess dirt, oil, grime & dead skin

•     Improves acne and blemishes

•     Reduces appearance of wrinkles & fine lines

•    Soothes body aches

•     Hydrates skin for softness

•     Restores even skin tone and texture

•     Helps you achieve more vibrant, refined skin

It has a smooth, somewhat gel-like consistency that spreads well over skin. It felt cool and soothing as I applied it to my skin. After applying the mask, let it dry for about 15 minutes and rinse off. After using it my skin felt soft, my pores looked smaller, and my complexion looked better. The mask can also be used all over the body, which I have not tried.

InstaNatural Dead Sea Mud Mask comes in a 16oz jar, which is plenty to last for several applications. It should last awhile, as long as it is stored with the lid screwed on tight and in a cool place so it doesn’t dry out. The mask can be purchased on Amazon.com.

Argan Oil Hair Mask

 I often use heat on my hair and I color my hair regularly, so I like to use treatments that help to protect my hair from damage and that help it to look healthier.

Why use InstaNatural Argan Oil Hair Mask? It is supposed to:

• Make hair soft and shiny

• Repair damaged hair

• Strengthen and protect hair

InstaNatural’s Argan Oil Hair Mask contains argan oil, coconut oil, shea butter, avocado oil, amino acid complex, and is infused with vitamin B5.

The first time I opened the jar, I immediately fell in love with the sweet scent. I applied it to clean, damp hair and left it there for 15 minutes. I didn’t know what to expect. Would it rinse out and I’d have soft, shiny hair, or would I be left with limp hair coated with an oily film? In the past, some conditioning treatments have left me a bit disappointed. After rinsing the Argan Oil Hair Mask from my hair, my hair felt so smooth and soft. There was no limpness for heaviness left on my hair. My hair felt good and manageable. It also looked healthier and there were less fly-aways and frizz.

Like the rest of InstaNatural’s products, the Argan Oil Hair Mask is available on Amazon.com.

InstaNatural Advanced Action Retinol Moisturizer Review

InstaNatural has never let me down. All of their products that I have tried, so far, have been great.  This time I’ve been using InstaNatural’s Advanced Action Retinol Moisturizer. The moisturizer is designed to “transform older, damaged skin into a healthier and youthful appearance.” It is supposed to increase skin’s firmness, thickness, and elasticity.

 The moisturizer has 2.5% retinol, which compared to other non-prescription strength retinol products is really good. Retinol is a form of vitamin A and a powerful antioxidant. Retinol has been used to help acne, eczema, to improve skin discoloration, and to decrease the appearance of lines and wrinkles. The moisturizer also contains vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil, shea butter, and green tea.

The retinol moisturizer is light and not greasy. I like the consistency, not too thick, so it goes on smooth and easily. It absorbs and gets to work quickly. Another plus, in my opinion, is that there is no discernible scent.

The first time that I used it, I did feel a slight tingling sensation, which soon went away. My skin has gotten used to the moisturizer, but some people may find retinol irritating. After using it for the past three weeks, I am happy with the results. I’ve gotten smoother skin and the crease in my forehead is less noticeable. I’ve been pairing the retinol moisturizer with the InstaNatural Retinol Serum, and together they are awesome.

Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so make sure your have sunscreen on, if you’re going out. For this reason, I prefer to use the retinol products at bedtime.

InstaNatural Advanced Action Retinol Moisturizer is available on Amazon. It is economically priced, when compared to other retinol moisturizers.

Fighting Blemishes and Aging at the Same Time

Teens aren’t the only ones who get acne and blemishes. Anyone can succumb to clogged pores, blackheads, and pimples. It’s not fun to be trying to fight wrinkles with anti-aging creams, but at the same time trying to get rid of a hideous little bump starting to grow on your face.  I recently found out that it is possible to get clear skin, try to combat wrinkles,  and get a youthful glow.

InstaNatural Age-Defying Skin Clearing Serum

I love a serum for a clearer complexion that is intended for those also looking for anti-aging ingredients. Finally, there is one product to fight blemishes and fine lines. Through a promotion, I got a bottle of InstaNatural Age-Defying Skin Clearing Serum. It has some powerful ingredients: vitamin C 20% with Retinol 2.5%, salicylic acid 2%, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, tea tree oil, and MSM. The serum addresses the following issues:
- Wrinkles & fine lines
- Blemishes & irritated skin
- Dry, dehydrated skin
- Uneven skin tone
- Hyperpigmentation
- Rough texture
- Dull complexion

At first, my skin felt a little tingly, but it was not unbearable. That feeling quickly went away, as my skin got used to the ingredients. Those with sensitive skin should be careful and just use a little to see how their skin reacts.  My skin is clearer, brighter, and tighter. I love the firmness that my skin feels after using it. This keeps my skin clear and the bumps that tend to collect on my nose away. The serum is not overly drying, as I would expect with salicylic acid.

Before using the serum, I applied InstaNatural Rose Water toner. The rosewater is gentle and leaves my skin refreshed. It tones my skin without harsh astringents that leave my skin dry.  Rosewater has natural calming and soothing properties. It is supposed to be good for helping sunburn and skin irritation.

InstaNatural Rose Water is made out of 100% Moroccan Rose Water. This toner can be used on the face and hair. It doesn’t contain any preservatives or artificial fragrances.

InstaNatural Stretch Mark and Scar Cream Review

Stretch marks and scars plague many people. Some people wear stretch marks like a badge of honor, while most people are self-conscious of them, preferring to keep them covered with clothing. I’ve tried several oils and creams promising to reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks and haven’t seen much in the way of results. I’ve been using InstaNatural Stretch Mark and Scar Cream and was both curious and hopeful about the potential results.

I’ve been skeptical that creams or oils can make scars or stretch marks disappear. I think some may help decrease their appearance. Using cream or oil may particularly help fresh scars or scars that are more toward the upper layer of skin, rather than ones that go to deeper layers. Pregnant women may find it helps to rub the cream on their growing belly to make their skin suppler to prevent stretch marks.

About InstaNatural Stretch Mark and Scar Cream

InstaNatural Stretch Mark and Scar Cream is supposed to diminish the appearance of scar and stretch marks. It is also supposed to prevent new ones from forming. It is made of 25% natural oils. The cream delivers nourishment and hydration to skin to improve elasticity.

This does seem to be a quality product with some great ingredients, like vitamin C, cocoa butter, rosehip oil, mango butter, grape seed oil, evening primrose oil. I’m in love with the scent, and have found that it moisturizes quite well. It is greasy feeling at first, but it does absorb well and the greasy feeling does not linger long.

To use the cream: apply it to clean, dry skin and massage the cream in a circular motion. Apply it to targeted areas with stretch marks or scars or to areas that are prone to developing stretch marks. Massaging the area can increase circulation and using the cream can increase skin’s moisture and elasticity. For better results, exfoliate skin two to three times per week to help shed the old skin cells.

I’ve been using the cream for about four weeks. It is recommended by InstaNatural to use the product twice a day, consistently. I’ll admit that I have not necessarily applied it twice each day. As far as its performance for reducing the appearance of scars or stretch marks, I haven’t made any conclusions.  My skin is softer and smoother. The company does advise that it may take two months of regular use to see results. I’ll keep using the product and see what happens. It is important to note that regular and continued use of the product is recommended.

InstaNatural Vitamin C Toner Spray Review

I love facial mists and sprays because they are so refreshing. I recently became hooked on InstaNatural Vitamin C Toner Spray. I’ve reviewed other InstaNatural products, and I’ve been impressed with all of their products that I have used. InstaNatural uses quality ingredients and has excellent customer service.

About

The Vitamin C Facial Toner Spray renews, hydrates, and restores. It contains witch hazel as an astringent with vitamin C to tighten pores and refresh skin.  It also has aloe vera, MSM, along with other ingredients. It is supposed to penetrate pores and help skin better absorb serums and moisturizers. The toner comes in a bottle, which sprays a light mist.  It has a refreshing grapefruit-like scent.

I absolutely love the spray bottle that it comes in. It feels refreshing, and after using it my skin feels great. It has been a boost to my complexion and kept the oiliness away. The toner seems to be gentle and non-drying. I spray it three or four times, and it drys quickly. I like using it to tone my face after washing, and sometimes I  also like to use it after applying my make up for a more natural looking, dewy appearance.

InstaNatural Vitamin C Facial Toner spray is available from amazon.com.

InstaNatural Youth Express Eye Gel Review

I’ve battled dark circles and puffy eyes for a long time. So when I found out that one of my favorite skincare companies had an eye gel I was pretty happy. I’ve been using InstaNatural Youth Express Eye Gel for about four weeks and am pleased.

I’ve spent much of my adult like working shift work, plus I’m a busy mother and freelancer. I have struggled through many days without having gotten much sleep. My eyes certainly show it with dark circles and puffiness, for which I’ve sought a solution for years. I’ve tried many eye products that promise to reduce puffy eyes and have tried several home remedies. Some have worked, but lots of the solutions that I’ve tried have led to disappointment.

When I got this under eye treatment gel for dark circles and puffy eyes to try, I wondered if it would perform. I’ve tried several InstaNatural products, and I’ve not been disappointed, yet, because they make some great quality products.

InstaNatural Youth Express Eye Gel Product Information

•    Comes in 1.7 oz. size
•    It is made with plant stem cells, hyaluronic acid, Matrixyl 3000, cucumber, peptide complex, aloe, MSM, and more. This eye cream for dark circles, puffiness, wrinkles, and bags is 100% natural and 75% organic. It contains no parabens, no sulfates, and no alcohol.
•     It is supposed to: Increase elasticity, firm and plump the skin around the eyes, as well as improve tone and texture. It also is supposed to hydrate the delicate eye area to prevent premature aging. Last but not least, one of its primary goals is to diminish the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and saggy eyes

 The eye gel feels cool and refreshing, as it goes on. It makes my skin feel tighter, not uncomfortably tight but just enough that I can feel it’s working. It absorbs quickly, plus it has a fresh cucumber scent. I look refreshed and less tired. I don’t only use it around my eyes, but also on my forehead and my jowls, where a little sag is starting.

Allow it to absorb and dry several minutes, then you can put makeup on over it. Makeup goes easily on top of the gel, as long as you give it sufficient time to absorb. If I don’t wait long enough, I have noticed makeup around my eyes turns out blotchy and I have a hard time blending it in.

InstaNatural Youth Express Eye Gel is sold on Amazon.com, with a 100-day hassle-free money back guarantee.

Age Defying Moisturizer Cream Review

I'm always on the lookout for great facial moisturizers. So I was thrilled to try InstaNatural Youth Express Age-Defying Moisturizer cream. I’ve been impressed by the other InstaNatural products that I have tried, so I was eager to use their moisturizer. 

What I like in a facial moisturizer:

•     Something to soften, hydrate, and moisturize my skin

•     Something that minimizes lines and wrinkles

•     Something not greasy or heavy feeling

•     Something that goes smoothly under makeup, that helps my foundation to blend in well   without causing my makeup to appear blotchy.  

InstaNatural Youth Express Age-Defying Moisturizer meets all of these expectations and makes my short list of favorites. It has a nice consistency, not too thin or too thick. Among its ingredients, it has organic sunflower oil, tamanu oil, organic borage oil, organic flax seed oil, organic evening primrose oil, and organic rosehip oil. (For a full list of ingredients )  It is full of these nourishing oils, yet doesn’t make my skin feel excessively oily. It hydrates my skin, leaving it soft and smooth. It makes my skin feel a little tighter and firmer. It also minimizes the lines on my forehead and lessens the creases by my eyes.
   
The product is great, but I find that I do need to be careful with the pump because it's easy to get too much. I pump it gingerly to get just a partial pump worth of product out.

The Youth Express Age-Defying Moisturizer claims:

• Reduces dryness by providing unsurpassed hydration to skin.
• Helps firm the skin.
• Improves tone & texture.
• Provides you with a more radiant and glowing complexion than ever before!
• Botanical Hyaluronic acid: This is the most skin nourishing ingredient.
• Clinically proven age-defying blend of Vitamin C, Vitamin B5, MSM, Cocoa Butter, Green Tea and Cucumber Distillate.

It contains 98% natural ingredients, and does not have any parabens, sulfates, or alcohol. InstaNatural offers a 100-day satisfaction guarantee, which allows customers who aren’t completely satisfied to get a full refund. It is sold through Amazon.com.

InstaNatural Argan Oil Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
InstaNatural 100% Pure Argan Oil is lightweight and versatile beauty oil.  There are no added ingredients, no preservatives, and no artificial fragrance. The oil is cold pressed and  certified organic.

Argan oil comes from argan tree fruit, which is grown only in Morocco. The oil is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamin e, and other nutrients.

There are many ways to use argan oil. It can be used for hydrating and softening skin. It can be used to moisturize nails and cuticles. A few drops can be added to bath water for moisturizing skin. One of its best uses is to decrease hair frizz and give hair shine. Below are the ways that I’ve used argan oil.

Face
I massaged a small amount on my face at bedtime and woke up to soft, supple skin with less noticeable lines. My skin wasn’t excessively oily and my skin felt great in the morning.

Feet
My feet love argan oil, too. It helps my feet get ready for summer, which means going barefoot more and sandals. It helps to soften the rough bottoms of my feet and makes nice foot massage oil.

Hair
This argan oil from InstaNatural comes with a convenient dropper that gives the right amount. Many other hair serums that I’ve tried give me way too much. When using it as hair oil, start with two drops and rub it into the ends of your hair. You can add another couple of drops, depending on the needs of your hair. I find that a little goes a long way. When using oil on your hair it takes a little experimenting to figure out what the right amount for your hair is.

 I like argan oil because it is light and absorbs quickly. I’ve used it both on wet hair and dry hair. Used on wet hair, it acts as a good conditioner and helps it to style nicely without frizz. When used on dry hair, later in the day or on the in between days that I don’t wash my hair, argan oil is a nice treat for the ends of my hair to smooth split ends and reduce fly-aways. It makes my hair shiny and healthy-looking.

InstaNatural 100% Pure Argan Oil can be purchased on Amazon.com. InstaNatural has a money back guarantee, if you are unhappy with the argan oil.

InstaNatural Hyaluronic Acid Serum with Vitamin C, Vitamin E & Green Tea Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
I ordered InstaNatural Hyaluronic Acid Serum with Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Green Tea, and by the time it came in the mail, I had developed quite a bad cold. My skin was dull and dry from all the tissues that I had been using, and since I hadn't been sleeping well I looked tired. This serum was such a boost for my tired skin! It brightened, moisturized, and softened my skin. My skin was glowing! I may have felt awful, but my skin looked good. I’ve been continuing to use the serum for just over a week and am happy with what I see. This serum is not greasy and absorbs quickly. It brightens and softens skin, leaving it with an improved texture.

 Hyaluronic acid helps skin retain moisture, which keeps it supple and plumper. It smooths out fine lines and helps improve skin’s texture. Vitamin C, vitamin E, and green tea are antioxidants, which help protect skin from free radical damage. Antioxidants play a role in protecting skin against pre-mature aging, as well as being great nourishment for aging skin. Use InstaNatural Hyaluronic Serum with Vitamin C, Vitamin E & Green Tea on clean skin. Allow it to dry completely (which doesn’t take long), then use any moisturizer or other cosmetics that you wish to use.

InstaNatural Hyaluronic Serum doesn’t contain any alcohol, and it doesn’t have any parabens. It has 98% natural ingredients and has 72% organic ingredients. The hyaluronic acid contained it the serum is botanically derived. It is available on Amazon.com, and has a money back guarantee.
