You Can Do More With Vitamin E Than You Think!

Vitamin E is my overnight quick fix. I'm sure there have been times when you look in the mirror and you think to yourself, "What is up with my face!?" You've had a long day, you're tired, and with all the pollutants in the air, your skin is just not looking its best. You're complexion is dull, you looked exhausted, and it's like you've suddenly aged ten years from all the stress.

Well dull no more! Vitamin E is a great way to get your skin back to its youthful glow overnight! It definitely comes in handy if you got a date night the next day. The trick is you don't swallow a Vitamin E pill right before you go to bed. So what do you do with it? You pop it!

Yes, pop the Vitamin E pill and whatever comes out just apply onto your skin. It is also great for any under eye dark circles, just becareful when you apply it, you don't want it to get in your eyes.

Vitamin E gel pills are great for topical ointment. You can even use it to help heal acne scars, or just any plain scars.

So cheers to beautiful skin, thanks to Vitamin E!

Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel.. That is if you consider 12 hours instant!

Now for the creme de la creme, Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel is actually my favorite self tanning product out there. Well at least for now. Once again it has it ups and downs, but the positives outweigh the negatives which is why this product ranks out on top for me.

If you have been following my blogs you'll notice that there is no real perfect product out there. There alway seems to be a flaw, but I hope my insights will help you determine whether a product is worth your money or not.

For me Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel is (but like I said.. for now). What I like about this product is that it is easy to apply and it's not messy unlike GlowFusion. Another reason is that there is a lesser chance you will turn orange unlike GlowFusion as well. But be advised! You can turn orange! That is if you apply a lot of it!

Also since price is a huge issue for me (being a college student doesn't allow you to splurge), this product only rings out at $33! That is a little bit pricey but much cheaper than GlowFusion and I have been using it for a year. I still have enough left to last me another six months. So when you think about it, it's even cheaper than going to a tanning a salon at $20 a month or even more! (But of course it's not cheaper than just laying out in the sun).

Now for the negatives... I'm not a big fan that it is a gel. It feels oily and greasy when I apply it. However, by some miracle I don't break out! No pimples, black heads, or zits from this product.

Another problem, since it is a gel and greasy your skin does not absorb it right away so I suggest you apply it at night before you go to bed. If you plan on applying it on during the day, well get ready for a super shiny face, they weren't kidding when Clarins called it a gel.

Of course since this is a self tanner, it doesn't last forever. This product last for about five to seven days and then it's time to reapply. However, it actually lasts longer than GlowFusion. But, GlowFusion beats it by showing results sooner. It takes less than half the time to see results from GlowFusion than it does Clarins, which I have timed it out to be about 10 to 12 hours.

However, to me I get more value out of this product than any other self tanner out there. But if I happen to find another self tanner that is even better, you can bet I'll share it with you!

Jergens Natural Glow... But how natural is it?

Jergens Natural Glow is probably the cheapest self tanners out there but is it worth it?

I have used Jergens Natural Glow before and I do not favor the results. However, it does work... that is if you want to look orange!

I can never seem to find the perfect median with this product, either I don't see any results or too much results! And on top of things it makes me break out and after a couple days of using this product the color starts to fade off leaving blotchy bronze spots all over my face and body (this is the worse!). And I'm left looking like a sick person and everyone is avoiding me. UGH!

However, I do believe this is a great product for those who have pale white skin and looking to bronze. I recomend that you use a small amount at a time. Mixing this product with your skin tone may not make you look orange, and instead give you a nice bronze. But if you have a tendency to break out, then this might not be for you. As for people who have an olive skin tone like I do, I highly recommend to stay away from this product!

So what should people with olive skin tone do? Well stick around cause in my next couple blogs I'll tell you some of the best bronzers I've used just to the get that perfect color!

It's Tanning Season!

It's that time of year again, when the sun starts peaking out and the weather starts getting warmer. So how do you get a nice beautiful tan without the skin damage? That has always been my biggest question. If only they could make a product that allowed you to have that nice tan without the bad consequences. So the solution... self-tanners!

But which ones work and which ones don't? Do they last? All these questions!!!

Have no fear! My reviews are here! In the next coming days I'll be reviewing some self tanning lotions, gels, and sprays.

If you have you're own reviews please feel free to add it to! Until then, enjoy the beautiful weather!

Gettin Rid of those Dark Circles... Part 3

Now the past two posts I have blogged, I've criticized and ridiculed the products that claimed to be effective in decreasing puffiness or eliminating the dark circles under your eye. Well behold a product that I have found to work! Well at least to some extent... the Olay Age Defying Revitalizing Eye Gel. You might get half of your money's worth from this product which is better than getting no value at all.

Now you might not get the best results but little results are better than nothing. When I've used this product I've seen a small decrease in puffiness around and under my eyes. Dark circles faded just a little bit, and the skin around my eyes are a little more firm. I also like using this product because it nicely cools and soothes the skin around my eyes. A good product to use if you had a good cry from watching a movie.

I have bought this product repeatedly, however I do not plan to buy it again in the future.

In my opinion, if you want to purchase a product to prevent puffiness and dark circles around the eye, this may be a good product for you. However, if you are planning to buy this product to completely get rid of puffiness and dark circles, you should rethink about spending your money.

However, I haven't seen this product on the stores shelf lately, but you can still find it online. Just becareful of scams!

Come back for part 4 as I reveal my most favorite product for puffiness and dark circles under the eyes and especially for those days when I'm exhausted from the night before!
