Green Apple Peel - Sensitive by Juice Beauty

Scent was first and foremost as I slathered this green apple peel for sensitive skin on my face and neck. The cast of characters in the ingredient list were: Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C, SPF, Vitamin E, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Essential Oils. As if the ingredient list didn't impress enough, this facial mask was formulated with a blend of glycolic acid (from sugar cane), citric acid (from lemon), malic acid (from apple juice), lactic acid (from milk extract) and tartaric acid (from white grape juice).

Add to that, Juice Beauty's Green Apple Peel - Sensitive was made from 100% organically grown products, Paraben free and a PETA product.

This product smelled great, was non-intimidating in the manner in which it was made to be applied it - with my fingers. I did make sure I applied a generous layer as the directions stated. I also waited the full 10 minutes before rinsing off with warm water and a sea sponge that I always use for rinsing my face. I did not experience a tingling sensation as the directions mentioned may happen in those 10 minutes prior to rinsing. I did, however, see a slightly red patch of skin on the left side of my temple that I noticed for the first time as I rinsed my face. It disappeared soon after.

No doubt the tone of my skin increased. My skin had a healthier sheen even before I added my usual day moisturizer.  I have to say the exfoliation value in this product was amazing, considering how gently it treated my skin. I have to believe the power and the punch in this product was the Alpha Hydroxy Acid complex.

The power of fruit in a product is truly refreshing to see! Okay so an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but a Green Apple Peel - Sensitive application by Juice Beauty once a week no doubt will keep the dry lines, dull skin and aged appearance away. Convenient size, great value for the price and so very natural. Met my "If you can't eat it, don't use it" test. I'm sold!

IB Revitalizer Overnight Oil Treatment Spray by Jonathan Product

Sometimes a product comes along that leaves me speechless (does not happen often!). This was one such product that I struggled with to give proper homage to the product and its creator. Therefore, I decided to break out an acronym and let the words speak for themselves. Here goes...

Super great idea
Probably need to sleep in a shower cap while this amazing product does its magic
Extra curly and full of body after washing the next day
Created with a great fragrance
I love this product!!!
A must-have for any beauty arsenal
Love the convenience and uniqueness of conditioning hair while getting my zzz's

I did not have the IB Purifier on hand for this review. However, I washed my hair in the kitchen sink with baby shampoo and warm water. I applied an inexpensive conditioner and waited a few minutes before I rinsed out then towel dried. I let my hair air dry (I always do) and voila! I was looking at curly, shiny hair within the hour. I also noticed a drastic improvement with less frizz.

I am looking forward to experimenting with additional hair products immediately after using the IB Revitalizer and then styling with a blow dryer to see how straight hair will look after using this product.

Important: This product is for those with dull,color-treated or fine hair. I qualified in all three categories. The directions state to use twice weekly for four weeks, then 2-3 a month for continuous results (which I plan on doing).


This product smelled great, worked amazing, and was fun to apply and sleep with (in my hair). It will be one of those loyal "go to" products in my hair arsenal. I felt pampered, my hair felt pampered and the entire experience was successful and fun! I am still speechless....
